Oh, it just occured to me, many folks have used pumpkin spiced tea in their pumpkin beers. And I just remembered this thread; Bergamot Beer

They are on to masking horrible beer with fruit. If you want ore citrus add more falvor/aroma hops. But at the same time you drink beer because it takes good. Whatever makes it taste good to you, do.

If they are buying supplies, you are not selling beer. And anyone who drinks excessive amounts of your homebrew had best be pitching in for supplies. Some guys seem to think that homebrewing is cost-free.

Well, due to my friend's (closest thing I have to a SWMBO) family being comprised of a few Auburn Alumni, I already have my team. Watched the iron bowl with them down in Eufaula. Stopped by Alabrew yesterday and the woman there seemed really nice. She invited me to sit in on the meeting tonight, which I just might do. Is anyone else from here going?
