I’ve been out of the homebrew habit for a while, but a few recent experiences, most notably taking TSB on a tour of the Magic Hat brewery in Vermont, have inspired me to get back into the habit. I need to start rebuilding my brewery, most notably with a new copper (stockpot) and a couple of fermenters.
I think I will bottle in champagne bottles mostly, as I tire easily of the bottling process, and hell, who ever opens just one small bottle of homebrew? Plus, bigger bottles make better gifts, and thanks to the joy of Gloria Ferrer, I have a lot of empty champagne bottles lying around.

My brother–n-law is in the midst of home-brewing madness right now. When I was home in Indiana over the holidays I tried about 6 of his different home brews. They were pretty tasty…
