Home Brewing

What to do on a sunny, cold Sunday in February? Learn to home brew beer of course! My friend Jesse Thomsen invited us over to watch the process and I naturally stuck my camera in his face. Here are my favorite shots:

After the grains cook and are filtered out, the beer boils and brews and protein must be filtered off the top.
Hops are added and stirred in.
The beer must be cooled quickly which is done by a copper coil of cold running water.
Beer! This will be stored for 2-4 months before drinking.
