Wicked good beer

Went over to the Captn's house tonight to help rivet some more of his top skins. Afterwards, he pulled out a couple of PapaKeith's home brewed, unfiltered beer. We toasted to another great day of rivet bang'in.

I must say, it was Wicked good stuff

Nice brew Papa !

WS had some good ideas too, Keith!

We could have a whole line of aircraft named brews!!!

Wicked Smooth Barrel Roll Ale

Hammerhead Pale Ale

Great Cuban Eight Amber

Cross Country UFO

Whatd' ya think!?!

Glad you enjoyed it.
We could go with aviation themed names. Why not?!

Must be time for me to come over again, cause I didn't leave too many beers there. Maybe you can even put me to work this time.

I decided to build an airplane while brewing an IPA one Saturday afternoon ... I was in my back yard boiling my wert and looked up to see a pair of planes chugging along in formation, a couple thousand feet up. I said to myself, "heck, I build beer...I bet I could build one of those!" No, it wasn't the most logical thought progression....

Papa... fair warning... I haven't brewed once since starting to build... I've got about 7 gallons of 'brew in kegs and one remaining bottle of porter in the fridge, but nice brewing days are also nice building days...

Momma lets me brew in the kitchen. Every day can be brewing day. I only do small batches though. I imagine she'd put up a fuss if I started making 10 gallon batches

Every day can be a building day too!

I wish I had a 10 gallon set-up! When I started I thought 5 gallons was a huge amount of beer.

Because of altitude (4500MSL) and general laziness I usually start with about 6.5-7 gallons in the boil and need to boil longer. I use one of those turkey fryer burners, which pretty much lands me in the back yard.

Wow...I think I need another trip to CJ's shop before the homebrew disappears!

I finally got into the homebrewing ventures. A coworker of mine is a major home brewmiester and talked me into it. My first batch is a take off a local CO brew called Fat Tire (Thomas knows what I am talking about). Anyhow, after tweeking the recipe I have my own signature brew. I am calling it "Ground Loop Ale". Don't worry Thomas, I have a bottle set aside with you name on it.

Hahaha,

I love the name! Ground loop ale!!!

Bill, if you have any to spare, I am sure we Northeasterners would like to sample your brew!

How about the Snap Roll Lager?

Why is it that we all seem to do the same things? I make my own brew as well. Been doing it for years. Have a locker full of 5 differnet types. Mostly Aussie beers.

Well you see, Thomas actually comes to Colorado which makes it easy to hand him a bottle. I guess I could ship it. Is it legal to mail the stuff?

Good one Snap. I would love to see some of your Aussie recipes.

I'll be happy to sample it when I come to CO ... I'll give a full report to all you guys in the NE.
In fact, I'd be happy to test your bottles for you!
