Without science there is no beer

What do you get when a nerdy biologist buys a one gallon beer kit? 12 years later, starting on my third composition notebook (i.e., lab books) filled with notes of beverages (mostly beers, but a few forays into the mead, cider and braggot arenas) successfully (and a few not so good) brewed. Of course the science side of me does the typical experimental process (keep all ingredients the same except one ... typically changing the hops or yeast). The 1-gallon kit has morphed into a closet full of "stuff". And since my academic training was in aquatic invertebrates (bugs), my brews are called Dragonflylady Brews.

 

I tried making brag got once- it was not to my taste (too sweet without enough complexity). would love to try one in a brewery to see what it is supposed to taste like.
