Another beer update

Don't worry, I'll have more to talk about besides beer here. This is just to satisfy my fans. Look for further updates immediately after this.

So I’ve been idle in this blogosphere. So much happened with beer that I don’t know where to begin. Suffice to say that we still brew about every two weeks, and we have a few new recruits in the land of homebrew. Jeff and James can be seen below, expressing extreme excitement over their boiling wort. After stealing some equipment from a trusting relative, they dove head first into brewing, and are quick learners. Look out for some champion concoctions from these two.
Mike the Drunk has also taken up the habit. Instead of showing pictures of him brewing his fist batch, I am distracted by this very cute picture of his daughter, which I post instead.
My father was present for the brewing of our first Pilsner, termed PSI (not explained here). We found that he was most helpful with the actual brewing when performing the task shown below.
As a highlight, my friend bet my father five bucks he wouldn’t eat the cooked down malted barley. Without hesitation, dad helped himself to a heaping spoonful,… and them promptly went back for seconds. We all had to try it then. It tasted like sweet oatmeal, but was nearly un-chewable, and went down pretty rough. A pleasant taste, with an awful texture.
During the brewing the PSI, B-Pizzle (right, below) oversaw the smoked salmon operation outside. With the aid of our custom cardboard wind shelter (with mandatory fire suppression equipment on hot-standby) we cooked up some of the best salmon I’ve ever had.
Last, I give you this darling picture of a process called “dry hopping”. This is where dry hops are placed in the brew while it ferments. I think it is very pretty.
