Well its been way too long. The last thing I brewed was our St. Patrick's Day Savannah Special Green Witbier. Not a bad beer to end on for a while.
A lot has happened since those days of March. A long presidential campaign has recently come to an end and the landscape of American financial institutions has been profoundly altered, just to name a couple.
And what is a graphic designer who services the homebuilding industry to do? Drink heavily...
So in that spirit, I'm getting back to homebrewing in the holiday corridor (Nov 1st - Jan 1st) starting with a hard cider. Five gallons of good, slightly hard cider to act as a festive holiday drink for myself and fiancee and as handmade gifts for friends and family (which will remain a surprise in that I am the only one who reads this blog!)
I have been stocking up on wine bottles and bought tasting corks from the local homebrew supply shop. I am going to start with this basic recipe, making some modifications:

Thats all for now... I will post once I get actual ingredients.
