Bootleggin'

Whew, it has been a long hiatus!  The summer has been a good one, with some weddings, bed building, and visiting Maine.

The newest foray: beer brewing!  Some of my co-workers have tried their hand at home-brewing and wanted to share the experience.  The other day a handful of us stayed late and boiled up malt, hops, and water out in the shop.  Turns out a turkey fryer kit works really well for getting lots of heat into the mixture.  In the end we were left with 5 gallons of beer which is currently fermenting down in the company kitchen.  The yeast took off really well and we foaming away yesterday morning (see below), exhaling carbon dioxide and urinating alcohol.  In a couple of weeks, we will be drinking a (hopefully!) delicious ESB.
