i'm now obsessed with home brewing beer and wine. It started about 4 months ago, but i'm 6 batches deep and 2 more starting this month.

oh yeah? I always wanted to brew my own beer. how does it taste so far?

oh i've made quite a few things and all have had rave reviews.

right now, what i have in the fermenters are the chocolate stout, sake and what will eventually become a jalapeno mexican beer...its the starter wort that I will then spice later and bottle age till the spring.

its really easy and you can start small with a kit to get your feet wet if you are a little unsure. I go big or go home so i never did a kit but there are clone kits out there...if you say want to reproduce sam's oktoberfest or amstel light for example.

You should all watch The Moon Shinners then. LOL the all staged program I call it.

moonshiners is definitely staged but i'm not a moonshiner. distilling liquior is illegal. no matter what kind of deal the production company has, they have generated evidence that the TBB or VA law enforcement would be able to use EASILY.


homebrewing beer and wine is legal.

i aim to do 3 illegal things a day. making moonshine is not one of them.

anyway, i have a mass spec at work and plenty of equipment at my disposal so though the volume i would produce would be very small, i'd be able to make a healthy clean beverage....not the crap they claim they are making on the show.

i don't dispute that there are moonshiners everywhere making hooch that could make stevie wonder see...but i sincerely doubt the legality of that show. all reality shows are faked to a certain degree...but this one offends me because they are clearly saying they are filming an activity that violates local, state and federal laws.

the next step is discovery will film snuff films and say its legal to do that too.

I wonder does anyone ever do knitting for a hobby these days?

[Ineeda SM]

I used to do that too on my previous life, (general class) and also involved with the ARRL. Love to Dxing still for far away Rx and Short wave radio.

Wow Natasha, imagine the odds of another amateur here. I am an Extra class and love 10 through 20 meters. I was with the ARRL but gave it up. I still DX every day when I can.
