that I am not detail oriented enough to do it right. I have a friend that has taken a couple local ribbons for his brews and he is excruciatingly detailed about the notes he takes on time and temperature, and relative humidity when he racks the beer and a million other things from how many oz of this or that hops to what color socks he was wearing and I just know I ain't that guy. He did it for years before he was happy enough with one to give it to someone outside his family.

I think I could maybe operate that Picobrew thing - but I wouldn't even count that as brewing. That's more like just drinking with extra steps.

I would definitely join this forum if it is created. GoCubsGo Dec 2017 #1
