My wife got me a 5 gallon brew kit from Midwest
Supply for
Christmas.
Brewed a Scottish Light Ale, and a Belgian Trappist Ale so far; and both
came out very nicely...
Excellent, Dave! Your wife is obviously a loving and right-thinking person.
I love the hobby, because you really can share it with friends. When I show
most people my old computers, they just nod quizzically or manage to ask
silly questions like "why" or "what do you do with them". And
that's about
the limit of the conversation. Give 'em a homebrew (or two or six), and
they'll talk your ears off! :-) --Patrick
