For Father's Day we purchased my dad a home brewing kit. A has been brewing for a few years now and my dad loves beer more than anyone I've even known, so it seemed a good fit. It took us a while to make time to actually do some brewing, but sometime in October they started the first batch. I believe it is an Irish Red Ale and there was concern about the dedication of the yeasts in this batch. The beer is supposed to start bubbling due to the yeast eating the sugar (the fermentation process) a few days after it goes into the fermentation bucket. However, the bubbles were suspiciously absent over the month we let it ferment. When we opened it Friday night it looked and smelled as it should, so we went ahead and bottled it. Dad left Saturday for Europe for two weeks for work and is excited to come home to his own batch of beer! Crossing our fingers that it tastes delicious when he gets home!
