So, I got a home brewery kit for Christ's birthday and put it to immediate use, combining a West Coast Pale Ale recipe and blueberries to make the most delicious amateur beer ever made. Today, I decided to test it, as per the directions, before I begin Phase II which is the carbonation and bottling process. I was worried it'd taste like broth or sugar water or watered-down dirt mud.
It tastes like beer! Warm, flat delicious beer! I did it!
This is like Easy Bake Ovens for 20-somethings.
Sometime within the next couple of days I'll begin the bottling and carbonation process so that Disposable White Guy and myself can enjoy this new delicious brew in celebration of my upcoming birthday.

I thought about buying a homemade Stout kit, just to make Distinguished Black Gentleman Brew with the tagline "Dark and thick enough to please your wife -and- you."
-
I think I am going to make this my new hobby; the beer will taste so much better when you put so much energy into it. The goal is to make my new Burgundy & Gold brew for the 2008 Redskins season. I will spend all summer perfecting it.

what will happen to your old hobby of sweaty dumpster sex with poor hispanic boys?
-
It will go to the way of the origin of the act itself.

This is like the beginning of one of those PLAGUE movies where they reveal the ORIGIN

Those homemade beer kits make fantastic Stouts and Porters. Which homemade kit did you get Willco? You can buy specialty ingredients online to get better hops and other ingredients and make even better beers than the stuff you get with the kits.
I'd like to taste your creation though sounds good.
-
I've alway wanted to try this. Though the thought of draining away 20 litres of piss down the drain worries me.
-
That beer you're making actually does sound pretty appealing.
This is like Easy Bake Ovens for 20-somethings.
Totally. I want to try this now.
-
Wow, I want one now.
-
This is very interesting. Sounds pretty yummy, too!
Willco, is this the best Christmas present you've ever received?
-
been there done that about 15 times over. Making your own beer fucking rules and I welcome wilco into the fold, get to know the dude that works at the store where you buy all your beer stuffs. they are like your best friends and they will not steer you wrong!
-

You hate beer, you silly coot!
-
Haha, yeah, this was the coolest gift I ever got. I remember we went to see Rocky Balboa after we opened gifts and the entire time I was thinking up of different malt extracts and hops and fruits to combine.
-
why are you putting FRUIT in beer? Yuck!
-
My dad used to be awesome and make his own beer and smoke pipes and listen to cool music that I later took from him. Now he's such a loser.
I blame God.
-

Fruit is in a lot of beers. A lot. It adds to the taste, and it doesn't overwhelm. It's not a blueberry beer.
This question is kind of stupid, because it's like, WHY DO YOU PUT SWEET STUFF IN BEER when beer starts off as just sugar. Fruit is used in lieu of just straight-up glucose.
-
Not trustin' you; you like that pumpkin ale! There's never been FRUIT in a good stout/porter, sir.
What's next; Jelly Bellies? Those have sugar, too! How about chocolate? Or maple syrup? :-\

Sometimes they put chocolate into stout ie Chocolate Stout (but not all chocolate stouts contain chocolate) as well as coffee.
-
Chocolate stouts are NAS-TAY.

I suggested we make his little brother drink the whole keg in one night.
Make a man out of that little bitch!

Not when I'm slurping it out of your belly button :-*

I'm not a fan of beer but the beer you talked about does sound pretty good. And CHOCOLATE beer? Sign me up too!

Really? Once it get's cooler I'm going to try a get a bottle of Young's Double Chocolate Stout- apparently it's good according to the internets.

Aha! I knew this would be your reaction since you did not carefully read the fine print. I said "coolest" gift ever, not the best gift ever. That still goes to you!
