Interesting Homebrew howto site
By Jay Smith on 12/14/2005 4:54 PM
While listening to the Basic Brewing Radio (http://basicbrewingradio.com) podcast they interviewed a John Palmer who is writing a book called "How To Brew" and it is available on-line at http://howtobrew.com.  I thought it was very interesting and thought I'd pass it along.

Kit Brew # 1: Irish Stout
By Jay Smith on 12/14/2005 4:50 PM

I have just finished kegging my first beer kit.  It was an Irish Stout that I brewed at Mark's during the national teach a friend to homebrew event.  I have really enjoyed the process AND have also been enjoying the Irish Stout :-).  I will bring some to the next club meeting.

I have also picked up a new kit, the Brewer's Red Ale, and look forward to brewing it soon.

Here is what the finished product should be like: A refreshing ligiter red wine with full fruit flavoirs of cherries and red berries. Gama- Noir is the featured grape. Best when consumed young and slightly chilled.
