My SO wants to get into homebrewing. Since he is a chemical engineer, he would like to eventually perfect a continuous process for brewing at home
A friend from his program is leaving town and probably giving my SO his carboys, so my SO is planning on teaming up with some friends to do some brewing sometime this summer, as a friend has all the other equipment needed.
Yay beer!
Also, my future MIL grows hops. We're going to use them to decorate the tent (marquee) at our wedding. Hops are a big cash crop around our part of the Willamette Valley.
