14. Thanks.
I stuck strictly to the instructions. Even though I wanted to mess with the recipe. Next batch will be my own design.

22. I worked up some fine home brews when I was brewing my own...

It was cool doing it. It wasn't hard. I am already to start another batch but I want to wait til I sample this one. Have you ever made like a barley wine?
