On this page you may find information and just plain fun surrounding
alcoholic beverages. If you have a distaste for alcohol try not to
enforce your feelings on others, thus causing the weak to stumble.
Judges 9:13 "And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth
God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?"
God loves wine and we will be drinking it with him in Heaven (Matthew 26:29.) I don't know
what the prohibitionists will be drinking...
I have enjoyed beer since my earliest memories. I have traveled most
of the way around the world and here are some of my favorites:

Drinkin' the Cream Stout! |
Phil and I brew from all-grain in 10 gallon batch sizes. Even though
we are brewing in the garage, everything that touches the wort (pre-beer)
is carefully sanitized.

| Vacu-Racking a Chilean Merlot |
Phil and I make wine too. I've made wine from grape extract as well as store-bought
grapes. Guess what? Flagstaff is not prime grape growing country (our growing season
is shorter than Juno Alaska! Really, in 2002 we had a freeze in June and September!!!)
Anyway, what is Vacu-Racking? I think I came up with this myself, though there is
"nothing new under the sun." I use a vacuum pump to rack the wine, removing all of the
carbon dioxide in the racking process. It also seems to help clear the wine more rapidly.
Cool. I don't suppose everybody has access to the equipment and knowledge I do, but
e-mail me if you want instruction on how to do this.
