The thing about most hobbies is knowing when you should do things yourself, and when you should out-source a job to get it done faster and easier. Pete has always been more do it yourself.
See, that's the part about all this brewing shite that really interests me. I have more than a passing interest in producing a good brew, sure, wouldn't give a shit about it otherwise. But the equipment, how to make it, putting seperate parts, processes and equipment together to achieve a goal, that's my jam.
I'm with you Churbs, I've watched Pete brew beer. It's fuck off hard work and if you aren't perfect you get bandaids. I'll buy my beer premade, thank you very much.

Agreed. We just got a couple bottles of BF Clyde's apple wine. I don't think I could age anything alcoholic for a year.
If you're serious, I'm perfectly willing to do it for you on mates rates, but despite being cheaper for you than a regular customer, my time is still not free. Materiel and shipping the final is on you too, but I won't charge for design work. It's also not going to be immediate, I'd need to source some tools and gear, as well as clear some other responsibilities.

I care about it enough to get a good brew, but if I'm pretty decent, Pete is a wizard that shoots beer from his fingertips.
I was being a bit facetious and the problem is that I don't really have a place to store such a beauty. I will however bring back up with you should my situation ever change.

No worries, man, when the time comes, I'll still be happy to do it, but the situation might have changed in other respects. After all, I'm still carrying through my plan to immigrate to the states(yeah, still), and it'll be a hell of a lot cheaper to ship it by truck than to get it all the way from Australia to your neck of the woods. Plus, if I'm in LA, I know a few people who already have the tools I need, who would be able to sort me out with a bit of shop time.
It just occurred to me that weed beer is almost definitely coming to a Seattle microbrewery, since THC is alcohol-soluble and the aromatics in weed are fairly similar to those in hops. Just a matter of time given the west coast craft beer scene, really.
Two weeks ago, I had a Bourbon County Brand Stout. Holy christ, that will take down anyone. But it is the closest thing you can get to real bourbon. I'm actually hoping I can find the variations.

EDIT: Hm, some people are reporting success in their endeavors to make an apple grinder from a garbage disposal.
I also don't particularly expect to enjoy both alcohol and marijuana simultaneously...
To you homebrewers, sound worth it? I really love Wintery/Xmasy flavors.
The banana flavor is unexpected. Once it's carbonated, we'll see if it's unwelcome. My guess is some residual wild yeast producing banana esters.
So...success?
What was the OG of the previous brew? Don't pitch onto a stressed yeast cake - it can make funky flavors.
