To James

James, I bottled the batch from earlier in the summer about 10 days ago.



The anticipation...and a crisp 'pop' sound

The pour. Not bad so far. I did not refrigerate it beforehand.

The warm glow

The drink. Not bad at all. Minimal homebrewy smell/taste, smooth, tasty, buzz inducing, and considering it's only been 10 days I consider it a smashing success!

Grinder

Found in dump. My mom says not to use it. It's a large and very durable 'made in England' model.

What do you think?

Official Passholder

It's official. Long did I deliberate. Friday and Monday powder dreams thwarted my thriftiness and I am now a member of the flying couch club.
