Flip Flopping on Root Beer

Okay,
Root beer is good. I also did not get any of the "cat"-iness that some claim to get from Cluster hops. Which, imho, is good. So yeah, brew it up.

Radical Brewing: Lazy Book Review

There is a lot of information on the World Wide Web about homebrewing. Sometimes the need for a handy real life, in your hand reference is needed. I bought Radical Brewing and I think its a good buy.

1. Its informative
2. Its written in a non-dry way
3. Um, its good and has better layout than similar books.

It has cool title.

ADULT ROOT BEER - Revealed

Bottled the root beer 1/18/09. This beer was not as odoriferous and smelling of root beer as when I put it into the secondary. It carbed nicely and pours nice, but its not root beer. It has some wintergreen to the nose, but other than that is a slightly bitter porter. Not bad, but not root beer. If I try again I'll use spices in the secondary and then make a tincture to add at bottling.
