Speaker 1: 0:00

Oh, wow, Okay, so that. So I guess that's gonna lead into my next question is what is, I guess, your favorite type of beer? What? What did you start? What types of beers did you start brewing?

Speaker 2: 0:11

with. My first beer is actually a Brown Ale. If you live in Jacksonville here you would probably have heard of bold cities Dukes Brown Ale. Yes, I love it. Very, very smooth, easy drinking beer. So that was my first beer that I tried to duplicate was a kind of a Brown.

Speaker 2: 0:28

Ale and then because, as we were talking about the West Coast, IPAs were the big thing 15 years ago. That's that's what I brewed a lot of then Did really get into loggers or anything. I didn't have the temperature control to handle the loggering process and a lot of the yeast strains that are available now weren't available back then. So mostly ales back then and your blonde ales and think of like raging blonde or something from Veterans United.

Speaker 1: 1:00

I'm looking at a list of yours because you brought me a couple today and all these sound awesome and they are all of different varieties. But since you've been doing this for so long, talk to me about sometimes some of your fails and how that's gone and how you've like gone forward with that, and just you know, what did you do with the outcome, etc. Just kind of give me the rundown.

Speaker 2: 1:20

I've had a couple of fails, Not so much whole batches I do have one story for that but individual, like most people start off bottling their beer and bottle conditioning and with some type of corn drop tablet. If your bottles are not completely sanitized you'll get a bottle bomb where the leftover residual sugar is going to keep getting eaten up by the yeast and it'll keep carbonating. Well, there's a fine limit on those glass bottles and how much they can kind of hold on pressure. So yeah, if you're not sanitized perfectly you'll get some bottle bombs and that's never fun to clean up, especially if it's in your closet and it's a dark style or something like that.

Speaker 1: 2:08

So, honey, it's your wife doesn't appreciate that either. Honey, it smells like chocolate and alcohol in the closet. Cheezer made us a kegerator and very much redneck ingenuity. So he built up the box from two by fours. He put casters on it through the keg inside there, but inside there he sprayed it with rhino liner and he threw ice in there. Dude, this thing kept ice and kept cold, I kid you not, for over two weeks. That's insane. Like he put a lid on it.

Speaker 2: 2:41

Redneck engineering here.

Speaker 1: 2:43

Yeah, dude it was very much redneck ingenuity and yeah, same deal, we kept that at his place, so we had that keg tapped and ready to go and we would just swap it out, and I mean that thing stayed cold. So yeah, that was definitely a lot.
