    I know it's early for some but I've been up since 4:30 cooking for an epic beer tasting tomorrow. I'm having the second bottle of my first home brew.

    About to get on a greyhound bus headed for the nether-regions of central PA. I think this is the earliest in the day I've ever had a beer.

    Good replacement for the 3 cups of coffee I usually have. Way more bitter (and less sweet) than I expected. Thumbs up!

    I haven't had the former but good luck with the latter. I hope you find it more enjoyable than I did.

    Your friend surely had good intentions and, if the price he paid was anything like mine(+$16 a 4 pack), he's pretty high up there in the generosity department too. Solid bloke.

    Was it the Dead Ringer kit from Northern Brewer? Because that kit is a spot on replica taste wise, though it does turn out a bit darker then the commercial version.

    No it was a kit from a brew shop in New Orleans. It's not even close to two-hearted but it's pretty good, IMHO way more hop forward but pushing towards bitter.

    Still sounds like a very successful first attempt at brewing. Congratulations and welcome to a great hobby.

    Abita Christmas Ale. Tastes like black pepper and onions. Not a fan of Abita.

    I'm off for 12 days straight. Kinda nice after shoveling my drive 5x a couple of days ago. I get to drink everyday whenever I want. This is the life.
