Second Floor Brewing

The life of Jess began in the year 1988, on the 28th day of November. Her screaming facing face made its appearance, weighing in at a whopping 9lbs (woooh). The first day of her life her family thought she was clinically retarded, brought on by her constant sleeping, but alas….she turned out fine. Later on in life Jess was known to rip out hair of other females in her life….this is a life skill all should have. Her lovely sister Heather, once decided to nascar crash her out of her stroller and split open her chin. Jess still has the scar.

There are many memorable Jess drinking story. Her first beer experience was with the borough peeps in Towson Run….she learned alot that night. Most importantly how to pop a squat on he side of the road. Flash forward to Ryan and Heathers wedding…where I proceeded to get Jess piss ass drunk. Very fun. Then there are the many beer pong nights, the most memorable being the time we watched Along Came Polly. The many laughs that have occurred from that are too many to mention. Avoiding Jamel while drinking….haha!!! Getting messed up at her parents house!!

Of course there is so much more to the legend that is Jess the SFB groupie….but I only have so much time to write.

So here’s to Crazy Girl….

Blicket!!!!!

Ok ok, I know its been a while since I posted last. As Dan has told me, I need to commit to a weekly post on top of all the other less important blurbs.

So here it is…

1) After two tastings of our beers (JTT and Parkers Porter) SFB can be deemed an early success. With maybe the toughest alcohol critic there is, Papa Deller, fully on board I feel SFB has only scratched the surface.

2) The initial mud butt that proceeded the tasting of JTT seems to be an isolated incident…..for now.

3) JTT seems to have gotten better with age, so this weekends second tasting of Parkers Porter will be crucial in our decision to whether or not to let the bottle sit two weeks until consumption.

4) In relation to #3, if two weeks is required until consumption then another carboy is a must. Why you ask??? Cause we need to brew every weekend!!!

5) I find it completely ridiculous that Dan will use twitter to promote our brewery while his belief that he is above the use of Facebook still exists within his complicated mind. Just saying…

6) The need to resurrect the yeasties in our third edition to the SFB collection has led to its name. Back from the Dead Amber.

7) There are mixed opinions on whether our beer has an extreme APV. Based on my experiences, JTT was prob 5-6% while Parkers Porter was 8-11%. All I know is it messed me up before Halloween and that is good enough for me.

8)  Papa Deller has requested a seasonal brew for Thanksgiving so this weekend we’ll brew up a pumpkin ale….name requests start now.

9) Liquid yeast is a bitch.

10) Damn, coming up with ten is hard…..so I’ll quote a line from a fav movie of SFB…..Meow!!!!

The hour is upon us!!!

We have the bottles, We have the brew, We have our groupie (Thank you Jess).

Stay Tuned….

To quote the infamous Jeremy Gray, “Perhaps we’ll play a little game called “just the tip”. Just for a second, just to see how it feels.”

We have decided to name our inaugural brew Just the Tip. Our group venture into the art and science of Beer Brewing has led us to many encounters with some twists, a few hurdles, many doubters, and only a few loyal supporters. To all those that say it can’t be done….in one week we will have the first tasting.

Bottles will be delivered on Tuesday.

Bottling will commence on Friday.

New batch will begin on Saturday.

So until then….

DW, relax and have a homebrew.
