If you were not aware, I have recently taken up the hobby of Homebrewing. It's a lot of fun and extremely rewarding - I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good brew and/or likes to create something of their own. We have a thread about it
here.
Clearly, my Santa has picked up on this because my gifts are homebrewing related! Currently, I am brewing an American Brown Ale called
Caribou Slobber. It is in primary fermentation in this 6 gallon food-grade container.
That's 5 gallons of hardwork. Someday, it will be fermented enough to be bottled. When that day comes, I can make use of gift number 1:
Instead of being dull, brown-bottle mystery beers, each bottle will have this sweet label. Then, once the homebrew is in bottles, it will take a bit more time to condition and create the carbonation necessary to be drunk. But on drinking day, I will be able to serve this sweet nectar in these bad boys (gift number 2):
Thank you so much, Secret Santa. I found no identifying information with the gifts, so please out yourself for some positive reputation. Cheers!
