Never used it.

Sugar is what has to be fermented to turn into alcohol, sucrose, or some other form.

Make me a great hoppy Pale Ale and I will come and test it. Porters and Stouts are not high on my list of beer.

Gdam Ness, are you jonesing that bad for a mushroom fix that you are planning on growing some? Get out and stomp the woods. Buddy found several patches of half frees today, if he would have looked closer, there were probably some grays. They have to be as big as a beer can for him to find them.

I've headed to the hoppier side of life as well, but still won't turn down a good stout or porter.

Well it doesn't look too hard or expensive to plug some logs and get several years of mushrooms. I'd bet there are more efficient ways to get honey than owning bee hives too. Part of the fun is in doing it yourself, right?

As to hops -- I'm on the other end of the scale. I prefer the malt side of things generally. A citrusy finishing hop is nice in some cases, but bitter isn't my thing. As for home brewing, I've moved more towards ciders the last few years. They're easier to make and appeal to more folks. They're pretty refreshing too, unlike most beers.

Funny you say that. I probably use a teacup of honey a year or less. I do like chewing on the comb.

The pastor heard me say that one day as I was buying some queens from him. He laughed and stated that I was the first person he knew that got into beekeeping for other reasons than the honey.

Mom tells me that I quit eating honey when I was young and watched Grandpa working his bees. I did not like the thought of eating anything that a bunch of bugs crawled around on with dirty feet. I watched them sucking juice last year at the farm out of the piles of rabbit poop under the cages and I still don't relish the thought of good fresh honey.
