Our latest homebrew: Penicillin Ale

They say that any day brewing is a good day.  I couldn’t agree more (well, except for all that pesky sanitizing—that can be a real bitch).  However, a good day brewing can go sour.  And for us this weekend, it did.

Dead yeast?  Nope.  A broken carboy smashed all over our apartment?  Nope.  A boil-over volcano that dumped hot, syrupy mess all over our stove top?  God, I wish.  No, my friends, we were bested by a biological enemy.

Watch our video to see the thrilling conclusion…let’s just say its best to use fresh ingredients.  Oh, and refrigeration.  Refrigeration is important.  Especially when your NYC apartment is hotter than Havana on an August afternoon.
