The father of my best childhood friend used to make his own beer, not for the flavor, but for saving money. When you've got four kids and a stay at home wife, you cut corners where you can. He always brewed it in a 30 gallon crock with a towel over the top to keep the flies out.
I was sitting at their dining room table playing poker with him and his two boys. All of a sudden, "BANG", quickly followed by a staccato serenade of equally loud bangs coming up from the basement. We went down to find beer and broken glass all over. He apparently got a little too quick when he capped the bottles, and the green beer built up pressure until one blew, followed by a chain reaction of the rest. One big, stinky mess to clean, I'll tell ya.
 
Afternoon all you trouble makers. Back from a nice long and relaxing walk. I'm with Hippie, gonna do it no matter what. Saw a bunch of Big Horn Sheep again. Supposed to be a big storm hit in a couple of days so needed to get out.

Time for a nice hot tub and bowl.

I had a batch of bubbly wine I was making once as a kid 13yrs old (my Dad brewed too started me early)
I bottled up in heavy pressure vessels (champagne bottles) add.ed more sugar just before bottling to reactivate the yeast to make the Bubbles , into the rack they went. a few days and a warm night same thing , but all my bottles because bombs due to the fact that the corks were wired down to hold them in.
Glass shards everywhere, Mom was PISSED . I spent the next week scrubbing the walls floors and ceiling too

One of the family legends is that one day when the women's church group was visiting my grandmother, a case of green bottles burst one after the other in the basement, totally mortifying her.

I have two Jacuzzi pumps and the heater out of a 8' hot tub that I dream of installing on a two person hot tub with pumps. Maybe make one out of marine plywood and coat the inside with fiberglass.

Good morning OFC, it's Two Toke Tuesday.

Puff, puff, pass!
