Travis: the homebrewer who couldn’t
Wonder of wonders, Travis is at it again. And while his accusations about MNB being Civil War reenactors are quaint, they are, unfortunately, false. Of course, this stereotypical drivel about the South is the kind of nonsense we’ve come to expect from Travis, so it wasn’t much of a shock to us.
We do have news on the Beer War. Turns out Travis can’t brew.
Oooh, that doesn’t look good. I don’t think beer is supposed to do that.
Travis has also been secretly trying to culture an Anheuser-Busch yeast off of the bottom of a bottle he procured with the alleged intentions of bottling his tripel. And Travis, for next time: A “tripel” is more than equal portions of Bud Light, Miller Lite and Coors. Sorry buddy.

Tell Travis not to worry. Having “beer” shoot out of your “growler” before you’re ready happens to all guys.

Hey at least I am working with a growler and not an OV split.

Jokes aside for a min…
Funny you should mention brewing with Anheuser-Busch yeast. Just read a story in Charlie Papazian’s book Microbrewing Adventures where he unknowingly used Budweiser lager yeast for years in all the recipes of his book The Complete Joy of Homebrewing. Gasp! It’s mentioned at the Ale Street News site here…
