Beer 2020 - I'm not going to the store for beer

I haven't seen a thread on beer this year, but am prepared to drink if this is superfluous.

I did some brewing when I was a broke grad student at Tech, and got back into it a few years ago. I find it a very relaxing hobby, especially in quarantine. Two things I am doing different are brewing from grain (instead of extracts) and kegging (instead of bottling).

In addition to beer, I have also been making wine/mead, ciders, seltzers, and root beer. Some current projects that will probably make it to future Lot 18 tailgates are Hokie Blood (my spin on Viking Blod Mead), Stick It In Ciderβ„’, and a (Bryan) Randall the (not) enamel animal.

What are you brewing? I just kegged my first Mosaic hopped beer, and was amazed at the flavor going into the keg. I am also doing various experiments with pressure fermenting. Been thinking about trying cryo hops.

Cheers!

I told him I’d crawl on my hands and knees to be the DL coach at Virginia Tech. Now, all of a sudden, I’m sitting in this chair and I told him I’d still crawl on my hands and knees to work here. I just want to be here.

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
