There's always a nice ice cold glass of goat milk
http://domes.dimentech.com/warner/oregon/2004-04/goatmilk.jpg and you can
still drive, legally.

I don't think you gonna see a factory full of goats going up the flames
http://www.ics.uci.edu/~pazzani/4H/DairyGoats.html anytime soon.

Hmm... we have a large warehouse filled with hops (some burned) and
water....

Add a dumptruck of yeast and malt, and I think we've got the makings of
an AM-B party.

That's where self-sufficiency helps. Here's a shot of this summer's
crop from my back yard:

Very cool. I sometimes wish I would brew my own, but I just don't have
the time.
For any spare moments I have, riding or family time will usually win out
over everything else.

Nice buds!

A friend of mine in UT used to grow his own hops and made some great
beer with them.

Nice!
I have a nice Fuggle vine but really only got a few hops this season...
I am hoping next season will be a crop.
What are you growing?

Cascades. I do have a fondness for the earthier British-style hops
though. My standard Pale Ale recipe (below) uses Fuggles and East Kent
Goldings. Mmmm.

Did you just plant the rizomes this year? This is my second summer with
mine. The first summer they didn't do much, but this year they just
exploded. I think they need some time to grow a good root system. The
other thing is sunlight: I put in three vines, and the two in the
shadier spots were really anemic even this year. The one in the sunny
spot grew so fast it was scary. I was worried it might attack the dog.

Drosophila Pale Ale (5 gallons):

7 lb. Pale Malt
1 lb. Crystal Malt (40L)
1/2 lb. Vienna Malt
1/2 lb. Belgian Carapils
1/2 cup toasted Pale Malt (I toast it until it crackles in a toaster
oven)

1 oz. Fuggles (bitter)
1 oz. Fuggles (flavor)
1 oz. East Kent Goldings (aroma)

Wyeast 1275 (Thames Valley)

Single infusion mash, 3 lbs. per gallon, 155 F, 90 minute boil.

Wow, that's all the hops it takes? I've never brewed.

This is actually the second year... I had planted one rizome of cascade
and one of the fuggle, I didn't really have a place to plant so I left
them in a container. This year with the move I never really gave them
much attention. The Cascade didn't come up but the fuggle did. I am
going to move it into the ground next season in a nice sunny spot...
Things have been busy this season and both brewing and bikin' have
taken a temporary hiatus.
I just read a cool article in BYO on how to make a nice mash tun and I
think I am going to go from partial mash/extract to all grain for my
first brew back.

Considering the name, isn't there a missing ingredient ???????
Just wondering...

Most definitely something you should get into Greg. Its surprising how
fun it is. I've been doing all grain brewing for a couple of months,
it's actually not that complicated to do.
