Home Brewing Beer with my Dear Old Dad ~ Brewing39

My Pops worked on the Apollo Moon Missions and then The Space Shuttle Orbiter programs. He's long since retired and I told him about this idea I had to brew a simple beer without many of the modern tools and equipment I normally use. I imagined a simple beer if I only had one type of malted barley to use, whole hops, yeast and charcoal fired to make it boil. I called the project Rustic Frontier Blonde Ale. We had a few challenges. My Pops is a trooper. It wasn't as much drama as Apollo 13 was for him, but just like those eventful days in 1970, my Pops was on the job. It was great to spend the time together with him. This was filmed on January 20 2022. The last pic of the beer poured in my glass was from tonight, March 14th 2022. I thought it was fitting to have one while putting this together. I will try this again in the future with better old school equipment.
