Getting My Irish Out

Another week and another homebrew.

I did an Irish beer today. The fun was not so much making it, but having a bud over while I was brewing.

It was the first time I explained the process of brew making while having someone else there . It was fun.  The bourbon barrel aged stout I was drinking while brewing also helped in the process.
