Lagers are all most good enough to drink if all you have in the house in moonshine and therefore not good enough for bread; I also bake all of our breads so I am a little defensive when it comes to bread ingredients. Most bread recipes call for either a lager or something dark like a porter or a stout. When either of these is the case I leave the stout alone and replace the lager with a pale ale or an IPA, depending on what kind of bread you are looking for.

Apparently a recipe for beer bread calls for a lager, and she wanted to know if we could use the pale instead of the lager. Long story short, I came across <a href="http://www.howtobrew.com/" rel="nofollow">this site</a> in my search, and figured it would help you (and us all) in the experimentation of the new hobby.

I should have my home brew equipment in a week or so and I am already set for the coffee. I think we may need to bring along the expertise of some of our fellow bloggers for the brewing.
