		<description><![CDATA[in 1998 on May 7th it was announced before Congress that it was National Homebrew Day. The American Homebrew Association created an event called Big Brew for the 1st Saturday in May as a way to celebrate not only in the United States but around the world. Since then, home brewers world wide have gathered together and brewed the same beers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I think of an English Pale Ale I think of a beer that is not overly hopped but has a more pronounced hop flavor and bitterness.  I think of the classic Bass Pale Ale or a Fuller ESB. I think of Fish and Chips and sitting in a Pub throwing darts til the wee hours of the morning.  I also think of the friends I made while in the military and on Holiday in London. A great beer will trigger memories that you have forgotten and bring them back into focus like it happened yesterday. That's the whole point to brewing great beer isn't it? To create new and relive old life experiences. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Belgian beers use a lot of ingredients not found in German beers which in return allow for an almost unlimited number of variations. Belgian beers tend to be a little on the strong side, but that's OK with me. They also tend to be Malty and fruity, with a unique flavor profile that can only come from a true Belgian yeast strain. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While stationed in Germany I spent many a nights partying with friends at an Irish Pub near our base. The wait staff as well as the bartender (a cute red head named Wendy) were all from Ireland which added to its appeal.  It was at that pub I was introduced to a beer that called to me. It dug deep into my own Celtic roots and I knew I was drinking a beer that was right for me. The beer I was introduced to was the  Irish Red Ale.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A true Hefeweizen cloudy since it's bottled conditioned and it's traditional to swirl the yeast sediment and pour it into the glass. There is a version of a German Wheat beer that is free of yeast sediment and is clear in the glass. That is called Krystal Weizen. I do however, prefer the cloudy Hefeweizen besides, the yeast is good for you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What exactly is/was the Reinheitsgebot?  It was a law put into place in Bavaria that dictated that beer cold only be made using Barely, Hops, and water.  Some say it went into effect in 1487 although most claim it was 23 April 1516?. The main reason it was put into place was to prevent brewers from using wheat and rye that was in shorter supply and needed to be used by bakers to produce food. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I use only Whitelabs Sweet Mead yeast. I have had great results from this brand of yeast and it leaves a nice sweetness behind yet isn't overly sweet. It also ferments out to around 15% alcohol. You can also find a Dry Mead yeast available from Whitelabs. If you want a VERY high alcohol VERY dry mead, you can of course use a champagne yeast. The choice is all up to you and what you prefer. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A good rule of thumb for deciding if a honey is good enough for a straight mead is this. If it tastes great by itself, it'll make a great mead. Keep in mind that a traditional mead will take longer to ferment. ]]></description>
