The tasting

Pretty happy with the results. The SSA is probably the best beer I've made so far. I like the Hoppy Octopus too, but the cachaça didn't come through as much as I would have liked.

Brew Update

Yes, that is what it looks like. Bottled Scottish strong ale, my mystery brew [Cachaça Honey Wheat Pale Ale aka the Hoppy Octopus]. The APA is finishing, the cider is in secondary,  and I decided to use the yeast cake for a apple, passion fruit cider. The hardest part of home brewing is waiting for it to be ready to drink.

Intro

In retrospect, this probably should have been my first post but I believe I mentioned something about no logic or reason behind these post. 

Stats:
I'm 28, I'm living in Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro Brasil. This is my 5th time here and I decided to stay here until ... idk, we'll see how it goes.
I started to get into home brewing back in the states and got a few of my friends here interested in it. I thought it would be interesting to start the blog to track an American trying to make beer in Brazil. And other random stuff.

Dinning in Brazil

Like 90% of the waiters here in Brazil are men.
On a related note, service at restaurants here is not so great.
