Gone Homebrewin’

Friend, co-worker and beer expert Al Everett recently invited me to his home to brew my first batch of beer. This required stops at The Flying Barrel (for brewing supplies) and Ye Olde Spirit Shoppe (for beverages).

Naturally I brought my camera along…here are a few photos from the first of three days of brewing…

I suggest you check out Al’s site Hop Talk. Features include a great write up on Beginner Hombrewing, Al’s ambitious Beer-A-Day Project and my personal favorite post, Who is this guy and why is he brewing beer in my kitchen.

salute!
