Three days ago, my adventure into brewing beer began.

I am going to write a nice, big, detailed blog post about my education in this regard, but suffice to say that tonight I got a 45 minute cram course with a master brewer, and learned SO much about the art, craft, science, and skill of brewing beer.

Wizards and chemists, all of them. Sorcery.

I spent the entire night in a bakery, baking pumpkins. I am sore, exhausted, and invigorated with new knowledge. This will be good.

Yeah, I'm gonna write all of this up.

Today I went back to the brewery. Perry, Kyle, and I skinned all the baked pumpkins and got ten gallons of pumpkin mash. Now that the messy stuff is done, I'm going back in a couple of days and we'll actually begin to brew.
