I made another 10 gallons of beer this afternoon. Above, I am setup to start fermenting a nice European Pilsner. I have made this one many times. It's called Telepathy (that's a blog post for another time). It is my sister's favorite beer, and she doesn't drink beer. I hear that a lot when people first have the opportunity to try my beer. I get the usual: "I'm not really a beer drinker, so I'll pass, thanks." But, if I can talk them into trying one glass of a handcrafted beer, they are always surprised by how much they enjoy it/Bent, Bent's Beer Garden. More here.
