That was a great primer on micro-brewing (done in a similar manner to how CSPAN video-taped various locations around the White House a couple years ago including the different kitchens). And the chef describing the sub-basement fermenting operation, was a riot!!!!

I figure that the thousands who plan on making this from the recipe released yesterday should hopefully have their first batch ready just before the election.

He would not only remove the brewery, he'd remove the coffee and tea pots. Just kidding. I do not think he'd really be that narrow minded about coffee or tea. But I'd bet my bottom dollar that the brewery would go quickly.

I wonder how soon that this will become a campaign issue for the Republicans. Tick, tick, tick,...

Dang, I'd love to get a bottle of that!

I haven't done any homebrewing for several years, but one lasting result of the experience is, now that I know how "real" beer is supposed to taste, I can no longer drink the crap produced by Budweiser, Miller, Coors, etc. That isn't just snobby elitism, either; those typical American beers use rice and sometimes corn as cheap substitutes for barley, so the flavor is distinctly different -- and crappy. I have to laugh when their commercials tell you that their stuff needs to be as cold as you can get it. The reason is, it needs to be so cold that you can't really taste it. As soon as it starts getting warm enough to actually taste, all you can taste is the nasty sourness of that rice and corn.
