MARVELOUS BEER
Right now, fermenting in the laundry room, is BEER. HOMEMADE BEER. seanb and I spent most of the afternoon farming materials and boiling things and now all that's left to do is wait. It hasn't started fermenting yet, not appreciably--it's been just about three hours, and I'm given to understand that twelve is more customary before the big exciting bubbling happens.
I admit I'm at a bit of a loss what to call this stuff. The recipe is built on a gentle witbier frame but uses a darker malt and is pretty heavily hopped with plenty of other goodies in. The wort tastes like a horehound drop, minus the menthol and plus the beer. It is DELICIOUS and the beer will be considerably less sweet but will also be delicious. Should be about a month before it's ready: feel free to make suggestions on what to name it. There's going to be five gallons of this stuff, so if you're interested chances are good you'll be having some.
Anyone who suggests it be named Sex In A Canoe will get their beer over the head. :)
