I’m thinking the ideal passtime should be simple and easy.
Not sure i picked that.
Oh well.
Still, it preoccupies my thoughts between everything else.
A gallon for your kiss, a case if you tell me that you love me… I’m sorry but home brewing has invaded my thoughts. My sister was listening to that song, “Penny for your Thoughts” a few minutes ago, so I decided to sing along with it. Much to my attempt in scoring a yellow card with the “I’m going to Hollywood” pass, I sang the song with different words.
Now that I’ve bought the items to help me start this brilliant hobby, I have learned through my endless research that brewing can take more than a few hours to complete, so I have to allot time for this quest. Starting with clean surroundings would mean a big deal.
I have to fill my stainless steel kettle about 2/3 full of water then boil it on high. When it gets real hot, I have to add malt extract syrup. Malt is the heart of the beer, so I have to be careful in picking the best one. It’s often called Barley. After an hour of constant stirring I’ve produced Wort. Not a nice name, but it sounds cool.
I then add an ounce of Hops when I see the steady boil of the Wort. When boiling is done after an hour, I add an ounce of Hops once more to get that rich aroma found in fresh brews. Last step is to cool the mixture down and sanitize the area so it doesn’t absorb any strange aroma from around the kitchen.
