Funky Brewster

A couple of weeks ago. My roommate and I were wizarding around town the other day, when we noticed a vacuum shop off in the distance. Before we go any further, if you happen to be unfamiliar with wizarding it is nothing more than roaming about town while wearing a cape and/or wizarding staff. Staff's vary in size and power ability but even the feeblest of staff's can catapult you into being considered "one who wizards about town", or even a "wizarder."
Anywho, as we were wizarding about town, we stumbled upon (due to our long cape) a small vacuum shop. This shop was not very easy on the eyes. In other words if it were a person, we would tell our friends that he/she was "nice" rather than "gorgeous." Upon entering we realized that once you made your way past the vacuums, you entered into a world of Beer. Beer making supplies covered the walls. Different types grains and hops and whatnot were within inches of our fingertips. So rather than backing out honorably, we marched out of the shop with 60 dollars worth of items that might go horribly wrong since they had now been put in the wrong hands.
Getting home, my roomate and I were dumbfounded at the process of making beer. It seemed to me that nothing good can come from liquid sitting in a bucket for two weeks. Yet, we proceeded to cook our ingredients believing in our hearts that we were doing good for our country. Once we poured our ingredients into the bucket, our house smelled as though 30 ailing cats somehow managed to find their way in our house and die. Some of these cats I presume must have also recently caught fire since there was no way to account of the smell of fur and charcoal.
After a taking a short breather and a chance to rationalize and cope with what we were doing, my roomate and I let the beer sit.
It is still sitting to this day. I have no idea how it is going to turn out. My other roomates wonder when these childish antics will cease, yet we haven't even tried our first batch and we have already commenced on our 2nd and 3rd batch.
If you would like pointers on the beer making process, ask a professional.
If you would like to be a guinea pig, call us.
If you would like no part of this asinine behavior, more power to you.

Oh, boy!


I am 3 posts behind...how did this happen?

Was it "a couple week ago" or "the other day"?
