In the pictures of the racking of the krolsch, is that a plastic bag on your carboy??? I know you were talking about getting into some of your beer fetishes but I figured you would use something a little "bigger" than the Krolsch.nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17591214890387286188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22399565.post-54833584405185372522007-12-07T11:35:00.000-05:002007-12-07T11:35:00.000-05:00Yea in a lot of one-on-one circumstances I have had luck. Sometimes a "novelty" style beer (like me taking a pumpkin ale to a halloween party) is the answer. <BR/><BR/>In this case, I am calling on the Oktoberfest party we had. Everyone LOVED the Oktoberfest that was there and they have been asking for more. That is probably the best gateway beer of them all. You fire up some brots and pour a couple of glasses of suds and there is no way they can have a problem with that brew.<BR/><BR/>I think that the Kolsch and the Cream Ale are both that way as well. We will see :-)Travishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08293454329758079937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22399565.post-91003831775091824652007-12-07T11:17:00.000-05:002007-12-07T11:17:00.000-05:00Heheh...them there's some nasty critters ;-)<BR/><BR/>If you do share it at Christmas time, let us know how it goes. I'm always interested to hear how the uninitiated take to home brew. Which reminds me.<BR/><BR/>One weekend in early summer I bought a case (we're in PA) of Miller High Life for an old friend who was visiting. (don't ask...it was hard to do) He had two Miller High Life's and then said, "Can I try some of your homebrew?" I filled a pint glass with a dry hopped IPA and handed it to him. He tasted it and took a moment to get his taste buds wrapped around it and said something like, "That's pretty good." Not another bottle of Miller High Life left the fridge that weekend. I still have half a case of "The Champagne of Beers" in the fridge.<BR/><BR/>I love telling that story :-) It gets better each time!Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08522250477305289784noreply@blogger.com
