L'IL HALF-TON RASPBERRY PORTER- This one originally was to be a blackberry porter, but Schnuck's had raspberries for 99 cents/6 oz when the time came to buy fruit, as opposed to $2.99/6 oz for blackberries. Eric said his mom would have a cow, man, over us using fruit in beer. (October 1997)
WHITEWALL GRUNDY ALE- (September 1997)
JAROMIR LAGER- (April 1997)
????????? BARLEYWINE- Eric
brewed this one with Rob Rambach. Brewed in March 1997, I had a sip of one
in early October 1997, and it was very full-throated, if you comprehend
my gist. I hope he still has some. (March 1997)

?????????? PALE ALE- (January 1997)
PERCOLATOR PORTER- (October 1996)
50-50 PALE ALE- (March 1996)
12-24 BROWN ALE- This was my first attempt at homebrewing. I used
a can of Cooper's dark ale extract. When I got it, the guy at the beer store
recommended Saaz hops for a Newcastle-ish
type of beer. Why, I don't know. Being the neophyte I was, though, I took
him up on it. Anyway, this beer didn't turn out too well. Carbonation was
next to non-existent. It was after 6+ months in the bottle did it have even
a semblance of carbonation. Doug
said it tasted like Quebron, apparently some sort of prescription cough
remedy. I just thought it tasted bad. As in, not good. (December 1995)
KID McPLUMP'S SCOTTISH WEE HEAVY- Using Young's Scottish Ale kit,
Ben created a soul-warming yumminess
in this beer. Very malty, but also very easy to drink quickly. Went down
better then McEwan's. (November 1995)
11-7 ALE- This was Eric and
Ben's maiden voyage in the sea
that is homebrewing. As Collin might say, "Not bad, not bad."
They used Cooper's ale extract, the white can. Me and Eric poured DME into
the carboy for priming then bottled out of da carboy. Carbonation wasn't
too good. (October 1995)
