Daddy's Brewery

So Daddy has these obsessions.; these things he gets in his head that he loves or that he should be doing. He likes beer, so why not make his own? One of the residents in a lower year is some champion brewer and I guess he has been picking his brain. Right before Christmas he decided that he needed to start brewing his own beer. His claim was that it would save us so much money. After admitting that this was a poor excuse, he was still stuck. Thankfully his parents were still looking for a present for him and got him a Mr. Beer. Yes, that is the name. Anyway, he is in heaven. You brew the beer for two weeks in the basement and then bottle it for at least a week before drinking. He got to try his first this week and thought it was really good. His other two have been a little flat, so he is brewing more to see how he can balance the carbonation. Each keg makes 16 20oz bottle, so of course we need more:) He is trying to give some away so he will have enough bottles.


Carly and Joiner think this is amazing. They want to go check on Daddy's "Beard" every night when he comes home. Now that he can drink them, they need details about each bottle. As they can not taste it, they want a list of who will drink it. Mommy is not interested, but it is less invasive than I imagined it would be.

  1. What fun! I have a lot of friends, who brew their own beer, and really enjoy it! The Steadmans will be happy to provide bottles and can certainly sit in as honorary taste testers :) What a fun new hobby!
