Well-traveled = yeasty; plus removable labels
Writing today from Big Sky country celebrating my birthday weekend. The NYC ESB made the long trip from its hometown to visit my brother and sister-in-law. Several car and plane trips later, the yeast was quite well re-suspended in solution and did not noticeably settle after several hours in the fridge. I imagine that given time it will, but we didn't wait and polished off four of the six last night.
No one minded the yeast flavor, and no one experienced any unusual calls of nature - I am starting to think that is a myth. While I prefer less yeast in my beer, I had to admit it was still quite good.
All hail Avery no. 6464! Lissa had the inspiration to use removable labels for both the NYC ESB and whatever was left of the Midnight Pale. They come off clean so there is that much less to do come bottling time.
BTW, the ESB goes very well with barbequed emu and bison!

Hi! My name is Chris and I work at Help.com. One of our members posted a question and after reading your blog I thought you might be able to reply with an answer this question.
"I am looking to brew my own beer and I was wondering what is the best beginner kit and how difficult is it?"

Thank you for your question. I have been very happy with the True Brew kit my wife bought for me at Karp's Homebrew Shop (http://www.homebrewshop.com/). It gets you started easily with all the basic equipment (fermenter, brew bucket, siphons, airlock bottle capper, bottle brush, hydrometer, etc.). When you have brewed a few batches you may also want to purchase a secondary fermenter.
As to the first beer ingredient kit you buy, I suggest an ale (lagers can be more complex). Ales have the advantage of being happy fermenting at room temperature. If you don't have a basement or somewhere cool to store the beer, this is a definite plus. Good luck and have fun!
