Almost there. I started making a frame.

I got a large glass carboy and a bubbler airlock. I am going to start making beer.

The painting looks awesome. Good luck on the homebrew? What style are you going with off the bat?

Thanks.

I am starting with a basic IPA. I want to know how close to the mark I can get, while learning the ropes.

My greater plan is to make a beer with adzuki bean, which is often used in Chinese food, especially desserts. Chinese beers are boring, almost all light lagers. My wife is Chinese, and I want to create a beer that has some Chinese character to it.

The bean is instantly recognizable, and as it seems to give a red color when fermented, I think it could be a great to have a red Chinese beer. I will probably go with an ale, and first try adding it in the wort boil.

Be careful to only subject friends that actually want some.

I've had enough shitty homebrew to last the rest of my life.

If I could mail beer, you'd have six bottles more.
