Brewing and Flash
Out of curiosity, how many Flash/Flex/Designer/Developers, whatevers, out there brew their own beer? Both Matt and I brew beer and definitely enjoy all things beer related. This question comes after watching "The American Brew," a DVD that I picked up at the American Crafter Brew Fest here in Boston.
I think the number mentioned in this movie was that over 500,000 American's brew their own beer. So I ask how much of that number is populated by our community.
Also, should you reply to this ... let us know what you're brewing. I for one am currently fermenting an Imperial Stout and an ESB. Pretty stoked on the Stout.
Lastly, although I haven't decided if I'm going to go, I think it's awesome that Flash on Tap popped up and that Keith and Chris (fellow Bostonians) are kicking up the Boston pride by naming a local Flash Convention after Boston's favorite crutch. There is an excellent line up of speakers, and I hope there will be a terrific turn out.

Raises hand.
Just put a simple IPA into the secondary and will bottle in a couple days. Made a Belgian Golden Ale a while back that should be ready to drink soon. Been trying to do soda as well but just had a sweet episode of bottle burst the other day. Got to see a half gallon of ginger beer evacuate a growler in about 5 seconds.

My carboys are empty right now but I’ve done porters and reds in the past…and I have some lambic hard cider from last fall’s harvest tucked away for the hot summer.

Be cautious whenever consuming way too much beer since it can easily end up in alcoholism. Ofcourse if you are an enjoyer of life like i am then you may not care!
