Scotch keeps going up in price, like everything else, but I think more so.
So, I've been a bit mad that I gave up home brewing when we moved to GA. I did some research, and wow, things have changed in 7/8 years! Fermenting under pressure with a spunding valve, oxygen free transfers from fermenter-->keg, all-in-one brew systems, and way more.
The pressure fermenting was the biggest change, I used to ferment for a month, now it's 7 days for the stuff I like (APA and IPA).
I got the equipment I needed and a kegerator, and the pic below is my 3rd batch, an American Pale Ale. It's pretty damn good!
