"Hobbitational..." Awesome, Bilbo!
Seriously though, hops have always been a mystery to me, as is the whole beer brewing business. Thanks for the education.

Really, very little mystery involved, if you are talking about the mystery of the actual brewing process.
Only 4 ingredients.
water, which up in this neck of the woods is unbelievable.
Hops, which I grow organically
*Malt, Which I purchase in a liquid like syrup
At this point i just follow a receipe of a beer that i have made and like.
Follow the steps for boiling, adding hops, pitching the yeast, and letting it ferment.
Rack twice which simply means to let it hangout in the carboy for a while to let it settle.
Bottle
Let it age for a while
and enjoy a cold one.
Sounds good. Is it cheaper than just buying it already brewed? And what do you mean by "pitching the yeast?" TIA...
Not cheaper than cheap beer, but much better. pitching the yeast, to add the yeast when the temp of the batch of beer you are making is correct.
Yea...and just knowing all the ingredients are healthy is worth a lot.
Thanks, Sweed.
Where are you in upstate, btw...?
