Can we show off our crafts?

I thought there was already a thread like this....but I can't find it.

Here's my most recent craft finish.

As long as it's not with the intent of trying to sell it, should be okay here in a public thread.

And very nice job BTW!

I never sell my work. Nobody would be willing to pay enough. So, I give them away instead.

And thank you.

That's a crest I'm familiar with. VERY well done.

Very pretty Shasta. And Nate, my son would love to try to brew beer, is it hard to do for the home brewer?

I used to brew beer and made some nice dark ones. It's not that difficult with the kits out there today. It's certainly a little easier than wine. You need a warm place for the carboy at this time of year. I actually miss making the beer.

It's fairly simple, with some of the kits. There will likely be an initial investment in some equipment. There are other methods of brewing that are slightly more complicated, and more time consuming, but they result in a better product IMO, and it's even cheaper. It's a hobby I find enjoyable.

I just ordered a couple heating belts for my fermenters, because my last 3 batches fermented at too cold of a temperature. I plan to make a stout next, this will be my first stout, and I have no idea how it'll turn out.
