I usually wind up getting up and getting her a glass of wine - her preferred beverage. But this whole brewing odyssey started as a result of a beer she had in Bavaria, a Kloster Weltenberger Schwarzbier. Once we got back to the states, she bought me the brewing kit with the understanding I was to reproduce that beer. So there you have my one attempt at cloning.... Schwarz 2.0 is close, I'll see how close tonight when I open one. Then I may hear the truly best homebrew sound ever possible:
"Honey, can I get you a beer?"
Cheers, Gentlemen (and ladies, if there are any reading), and happy brewing!
