Home Brew Haiku

Beer Haiku Daily posted another one of my haikus. This one is titled “My first home brew”, and I wrote it about helping Roger brew a dry Irish stout at his place this past Sunday:

Now my first home brew
Clean is the name of the game
Hope it turns out well

I intended for it to express a little bit of the wisdom that Roger dropped on me. It turns out that temperature and cleanliness are two of the most important elements of the brewing process that need to be controlled diligently. I will head out to his place again in a couple of weeks to help him bottle the beer.

I really do hope it turns out well. A home brewed dry Irish stout sure is sounding tasty.
