Rick got a home brewing Beer Kit for Christmas.
Today, he and his friend "Bill" (both Chemical Engineers) decided to give it a go.
The kit is the Brooklyn Brew Shop "Beyond Blonde" mix and should take about 2 weeks to ferment and then is supposed to rest another 2 weeks after being bottled. So it'll be a month before we actually know if today was a success or not. But they appeared to be having a good time and Rick is pretty optimistic about it.
