   1 #title  Ale is Neat

   3 Once upon a time I brewed beer. Then I lost access to my roommate's
   4 kettle owing to moving three hundred miles, and there was much sadness
   5 for my poor kit lacked all but this very expensive kettle. A new
   6 kettle has finally fallen into my hands, and so beer may be brewed
   7 again.

   9 * Current Activity
  10
  11 I started brewing again with a few friends (makes it much easier to
  12 actually get around to doing it when you have help). Since multiple
  13 people are involved we are using [[http://wiki.calefaction.org/HomeBrewing][a wiki]] to collaborate. This poor page
  14 will probably remain dusty because I can just put things there
  15 instead.

  17 * More Recent Brews
  18
  19 I decided to at least make a stab at being unlazy and actually linking
  20 to the files that are stored with the website. I keep a reasonable
  21 brewing log (probably dry and boring to almost everyone) in the files
  22 themselves.

  28 An attempt at experimentation--an adjunct (blackstrap molasses), a
  29 spice (star anise), and a reused yeast cake (Ringwood from a
  30 [[http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/113/576/][Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale]] clone).

  60    liquid bannanas it was ... interesting.
