It's been a while since a young man on College Christmas break with wet hair from a shower was sitting at the kitchen table when I showed up. He only said one thing "well"?. I knew..........
December 2004 and Drew turned 21 in September that year. So we went to the LHBS and the hardware store (needed an IC). I had saved enough stuff from the first run in the early '80s so that was all we needed to brew. And we did - just like riding a bike. I think we banged out 5 gallons of extract in 5 hours from leaving the house. It was good. I don't have most of my notes from then but the wife found some. I really don't know how many batches were brewed then.
Anyway this next one is batch 489 from round 2. Drew has been brewing pro for over 10 years now - currently at Braindead in Dallas.
So, batch 500 is coming soon. I really am not into the super malty high ABV stuff lately. I need suggestions.
OTOH, I may brew it and forget until a few batches later..............
