Roast or Toast - The Beer Trolling Thread

[Kaan]

am I the only active home brewer in MM?

I home 'brew' cider.

do you crush your own apples? we have done mead, wine, and beer at the house but haven't tried cider. A kid I went to high school with is down with crushing his own apples for his cider. He's still bottling and I'm trying to convince him to just keg.

home brewing and taking taster courses... becoming a certified beer judge... made me a super beer snob. To the point we (Sylvia and I) have had one beer (each), not finished them, paid the bill and never have come back. Every time I buy an import beer I fear what I'm going to taste since there is so much that can go wrong in packaging, transport, and storage.
