    Decline in Hombrewing.

    What are you drinking right now?

    Super nice! I'm still waiting to fully introduce LOTR or the hobbit to my 6 yr old. I think he's almost there but I want to make sure he appreciates it for the genius that it is. The Bakshi stuff is really good

    I've added basil to a berliner weisse and it was fairly good. Maybe muddle some various herbs? A wheat julep?

    I brewed today!

    I still lurk around here, but honestly finding the time to brew is hard. I did pick up some dme and 2 new hops when I was at the store for barleywine ingredients. Figure I can do 2 small quick batches to try out the new hops
