I have come to the conclusion that the polarization that exist between the American people is not so much Republican vs Democrat, conservative against liberal, nationalists vs globalist. The actual schism is between rational, critical thinkers and true believers (as defined by Eric Hoffer).
Home Brew
For my birthday I received all the equipment and ingredients to make home made beer. Well, the whole process of making beer appeals to my inner geek what with all the measuring, calculations, and planning. It's intricate and demands acute attention to detail. Here is the result of my first brewing attempt:
Steeping the grain. Similar to making tea.
After adding malt extract and hops and cooked for
an hour the mix must be rapidly cooled in an ice water
bath.
The beer wort is poured into a 5 gal.
container, yeast is added and the batch
ferments for at least 2 weeks.
