Wow, I like how Sandi works.? She is gathering people that do homebrew to bring homebrew to her location. That is such a novel idea, that I am going to say that I love Chili so I am going to gather all of you who would like to make? some chili to come to my camp (with your chili) so we can discuss and taste the different chilis, or better yet we can meet at Sandi's camp and try the beer and chili together.?:)
Actually Sandi I'll let you?know that with only 4 weeks until TCR there is enough time to brew your own, but I prefer to age mine a bit more than that.? I'll send you some links off-list so you can get a basic brewing kit if you want. If you lived in HOuston I would say come on over on Saturday and see how it's done, but perhaps someone in your area is brewing that can invite you over. I can not think of a single caving adventure that I did not partake in a beer during that day (liquid carbohydrates)?so I think beer is cave related, plus your trying to gather like minded individuals at TCR so this seems?very?cave related. But, I'll do the rest off list. I like beer, it makes me a jolly good fellow. Puppy =:-) ? Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body,but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up,totally burned out, and loudly proclaiming, WOW !!!! What a ride!

I have never brewed anything drinkable before, but since I work with yeast and other microbes on a pretty regular basis, I think it's high time the little buggers started doing something nice for me for a change (well, other than that whole furthering my research thing). It has come to my attention that some of you out there may have dabbled in homebrewing and might be interested in helping me out/sharing knowledge/equipment/whatever. If this be true, please reply to me off-list and maybe I can organize some sort of homebrew related gathering so we can all pool our collective resources and/or passion for drinking the byproduct of yeast metabolism.
