For Christmas someone bought my brother-in-law a home brew kit. So last week, with Dave's help (and against my sister-in-law's natural inclination to have the house NOT smell like mildew), he initiated the beer brewing process.
Both enjoy beer but know zip about how to actually make it. Without the kit's directions the guys would be lost and luckily they had them for the first few days. Until their location became unknown...
So needless to say I have my doubts about the quality of the final result. My hypothesis? This will be $80 brew that tastes somewhere between 'palatable' and 'burn-y'.
