BE enters the world of home brewing

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

Jason, Jeremy and I brewed our first batch of beer on Saturday. We brewed the London Porter kit from The Home Brewery. We made a few small mistakes, but nothing terrible. All in all we are pretty happy with how it went.

Last night I started de-labeling some bottles I had collected. My new favorite brewer is Schlafly. 10 minutes in hot water and the labels just slide off. O’Fallon, not so much. I don’t really want to mess with labels that don’t soak off in hot water. Of course, this is just with respect to label removal. They still brew great beer.
