The Beer and other drink thread!

I love my Shiner and Chimay Red for beer. For liquor, Crown Black or Jameson.

My girlfriend got me a Mr Beer home brew kit. I had one when I was a teen and me and my buddy brewed less that acceptable beer with it. I know its a cheap cruddy kit but I had to brew it again anyway. This time we will see what the patience and skill of an adult can produce with this thing. Im brewing a pale ale. Bottling stage is next tuesday.

The simple kits do okay if you keep the beer simple, should be pretty safe with a Pale Ale. Stay away from the darker beers as there isn't any good equivalent for roasted malts in a bottle. Also make sure you give a little extra bottle conditioning time over what they say, things get better with an extra week or two. Condition cool (e.g. basement) but doesn't have to be refrigerated.

Yah, keeping it simple. I just hope it produces something decent. I plan on letting it bottle condition for two months.
