John Adkisson, Iron John’s Brewing
“The typical homebrew horror stories often involve aggressive volcano-like fermentations that spew foamy, beery goo across the stove or the floor or, in my case, blow peach splatter across the wall and ceiling of the kitchen.” Adkisson wrote in an email. “The homebrewer learns that fermentation is a thing of wonder to be respected and understood; failure to do so often requires a sponge and an apology. The results of repeated efforts and attention can be well worth it when your gathered friends and family take that first sip with a smirk on their face and expectations of swill, only to go momentarily silent and utter, ‘Dude, this is good!’ In that moment of brief glory you can bask in the realization that you have created something of real value. This is the moment that all brewers long for and what keeps us brewing.”
