The 34 quart pot arrived today (it’s the kinda pot that says we’re not screwin’ around lol), along with a recommended book “The Complete Joy of Home Brewing” 3rd Ed by Charlie Papazian. Though meant for modern hops usage, it has step by step instructions as well as the why and how of what occurs during each process. I’ve got some reading ahead of me, and can already tell this book is gonna have notes and highlights all over it.
We’ve gone ahead and ordered the Yarrow (Carpenter’s Weed), Myrica Gale (Bog Myrtle), and Labrador Tea (Wild Rosemary) from Wild Weeds. This is more than enough to do numerous batches. We’re looking into what it would take to grow these 3 basics ourselves, and where the hell we’d put them, but for now this appears to be the best source.
I can’t wait til they get here , and we get to start the brewing! I’ll have to tide myself over with research and reading, but i really want to get to the experimenting and drinking.
