Just tapped a keg of Fuller ESB. About 10 years ago I made 200 gallons of beer and drank it all in 1 year. The best part is my wife likes beer, and after a few, you can talk her into buying more tractor attachments. Anyone here like beer?

Grinder - my wife and I polished off the 200 gallons. My wife is German, likes beer, and I got tired of returning cases of cans to the beverage center. So we started buying beer by the keg. We go through a 1/2 keg every 21 days - almost to the day.
That year I made the beer it was all from wort you buy in a can, boil, add hops, and ferment (in a 25 gallon food grade garbage can). I added some hot peppers into some bottles and made some pepper beer. I made a syrup/grain batch once - it was great. But I never made beer straight from grain - the best way.
So we drank the beer we made that year, we got obsessed with it. And then it took too much time and micro-breweries were taking off so it was easier to just go out and buy a keg of great beer from local micros - or just from the beverage center. ....
