I won't give up the day job.

I've been brewing beer with my uncle (recently made a porter almost entirely by myself, except I had him control the propane) and I would like to subscribe to your cookbook.

Here we have the option of brewing at a place that hires out their brewing kettles. You choose the time slot, and when you turn up the proprietor provides the agreed-upon amount of grain, ready for boiling and sparging and hopping and fermenting. The staff will provide advice but they cannot actually *touch* any of the burners or taps, otherwise they would be liable for excise.

My co-brewer wants to do a porcini stout for a midwinter beer. We will see.

Happy new year and try to stay out of trouble.

Have you considered brewing a kümmel-infused porter or (dare I say it?) a Riga Black Balsam stout?

I spent a couple of days in Portland visiting friends and celebrating my birthday; a couple of relatives warned me (I think jokingly) to stay out of jail. So far, so good. Am now heading home on the train for a NYE fish fry. I imagine there will be some homebrew involved. Although I promise to stay away from the white lightning.

Last time I was home-brewing, a few lifetimes ago, it ended with the Juggernaut, the dreaded Wormwood Ale "which managed to taste like white noise and have the same mental effects as a botched prefrontal lobotomy".

Eel stout! I might try it, although I stuck to plain (homebrewed) porter last night. Have you heard of the elk semen stout they have in NZ?

JP said...

Silly me, STAG semen stout. I doubt you have elk down there.

Wow, that smoked eel stout reminds me of my great-grandfather. He'd spear eels in Pelham Bay in the Bronx and smoke them in his backyard smokehouse. I've always been a big fan of delicious, delicious eels.

You underestimate the scope of human stupidity.

Excellent. Marketing to a specific Nietzsche.
