PG-HQ Brew Thread

[thomaso827]

I was a cheap beer drinker until just before I started brewing my own. Started with a Mr Beer kit but somebody gave me the plastic buckets, capper, hydrometer and stuff to make 5-gallon batches. That was 2 years ago. I have 16 dozen bottles, about half of them full. 5 gallons of an Extra IPA in the fermenter right now, doing a dry-hop tonight for it. Still have a few bottles of a special IPA I made last November, and started drinking the Chocolate Milk Stout I started in December now. I have 3 cases of Mugwort Ale I made from an ancient recipe, and a very simple one at that, a bit of an odd, sweet ale strong with molasses flavor and just a hint of the Mugwort bitterness. I like IPAs and Stouts most, but Brewers Best make more than 50 kits, and I've only tried 10 of them so far, so have a long way to go in trying them all out.
