Salvagebeer Homebrew Beer Blog

Me, at the time of posting…

Now, if not logical, informative, and helpful, I make it a point to make my posts interesting. There are a lot of subjects to cover when it comes to homebrew and beer, and while I am definitely a bit of a snob, I’m not above posting about commercial beer related news. The fact is, if it turned out tomorrow that someone could FART beer, I’d post about it. I’m a bit of a whore, when it comes to new and exciting content. In that vein, I strongly believe that it is my civic duty as a beer lover and advocate (no relation to the beer website), to make an occasional inebriated post. Listen – I’m not trashed, as is evident by both my ability to spell/grammar check AND my willingness to use the word “evident.”

So, ultimately, all is well – and in my attempts to post whenever I think it worthwhile or entertaining, I’ve decided to make a post – which do you think this one falls under? Folks – here’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot. Many folks out there have very effective brewing setups. Many are far more sophisticated than mine, and see more use, as well. That said, they’re ugly as sin. Really – people make beer in some hideous situations. I know, of course, that quality homebrew is far more likely to come from the ugliest setup ever, so long as it is well-maintained and clean than from an extremely tidy-looking setup that never sees cleaners nor boiling water. What I wonder, of late, though, is why we never see the setups of those who both value good beer AND take pride in their setups. I’ve taken it upon myself, then, to construct a top of the line, clean-in-place setup that can rival any HERMS or RIMS in existence, yet is a joy to behold, and a delight to work with. With the conviction that Kennedy had, when he promised my country a journey to the moon, I make the guarantee that I shall construct a homebrew setup the likes of which has seen no equal in the world today. I’ll do so on a budget, and I’ll do so in the public eye. Posts like these, gentle reader, are the blog posts that spur human evolution, and stand as a testament to the value of reasonable overindulgence.

Truth be told, this post stands as the precursor to an evolution in my brewing. It’s not as blurted as I’d like it to appear – kolsch withstanding. I’ve been working on the concept for the better part of six months, and with kind sponsorship from friends, have acquired a critical part of my ultimate brewery. I shall soon rival the capacity, but far surpass the visage of the average homebrewer, and I intend to do so in such a way that all can follow me. See? With drunkenness comes cockiness, and – as you’ll soon see – success. Things can only improve from here, but in the next two weeks, I shall present a conversion that has been a long time coming, and it shall be a thing of beauty. I hope I have set a minor tone of suspense, and a greater tone of anticipation. Failing either of those, dear reader, I urge you to recall – I’m pretty drunk. In the interest of full-disclosure, I’ve become a fan of a beer blend from my two taps. That’s a post for the sober future, though.
