Project for Jeff

Brew us mead!



All it takes is honey, water and yeast (and I guess pear juice if you like):

Or absinth! It's illegal to buy in USA, but wormwood isn't!

My buddy Mark imported Absinthe. I'm hear to tell you that it is the single grossest thing in the universe.

I had wanted to try it ever since I read about it back my sophomore year of high school. Man, what a disappointment. Does it make you trip? I have no idea. It was too gross to finish a single glass.

Serious. If you wanna trip- buy drugs.

Its actually now legal in the US of A, with wormwood. I have a bottle my sister brought me back from Prague. I heard its gross and really gets you drunk, but the hallucination thing is mostly overblown. I haven't opened it because its a really pretty bottle with awesome green liquid.

I'm hopefully going to brew some Hefe from all grain (my first attempt at that) in the next few weeks.

Ginny's dad bought us some mead. Its not bad.

Apparently the origin of the word honeymoon stems from the practice of a married couple drinking a little mead each night for one month before going to sleep. Don't know if its true but kind of a neat anecdote.
