Just found this thread...!
Colleen, I have always hated beer! It was a guy thing to me and it seemed they all were on an agenda to swill 6 or 12 or !!! :-0 But I have always been a wino.
I signed up for a wine making class and went with a friend who then insisted I go to a beer making class as compensation...
I stopped wanting to make wine after that. I stopped wanting to drink wine after that. I have gained a lot of weight since then also....:thinking:
Home brew is not beer like anything else. Untill you have had one, you have not had beer. It is like comparing chef boyardee to homemade italian cooking..! (except it will knock your for a tizzy ;-0 ) Homebrew also has a buzz all of it's own. Drink one and you can end up with a huge grin on your face. I have never figured that on out, but why drink wine when I can grin like a monkey and enjoy the taste even more. Having said that, I prefer wine with food. Homebrew is too heavy to let anything else get it the way!!
Having said that, I am waiting on a 6 pack from Gary and I can not wait untill I get it!!
