Maybe it's because I'm a geologist, maybe it's because I collect bottle caps, or maybe because it just goes so well with baseball, but the truth is, I drink a lot of beer. And I think my parents noticed, since for Christmas they bought me a beer brewing kit.
So what did I do while that super exciting Super Bowl was on yesterday? You guessed it, I brewed some beer!

| Ingredients: grain, hops, malt, and yeast! (not pictured: water) |
 |
| I thought I'd enjoy a beer while brewing. |
 |
| Science! |
 |
| And ready to ferment. |
And now I wait. In 3-6 weeks it should be ready to bottle. Which means in 3-6 weeks I need to accumulate about two cases worth of beer bottles (as if I needed an excuse to drink more beer). So check back here in 3-6 weeks to hear how bottling goes! And a couple weeks after that, I'll hopefully have 5 gallons of delicious red ale (name TBD).
