Oh heavenly brew, how your savory fragrance delights my senses. Let your energizing caffeine course through my veins and awaken my soul... and get my brain outta first gear LOL!

This is what is in my beer. I know the ingredients. No additives, no preservatives. Just water, malted barley, malt extract, hops, and yeast. The mug, that's a homebrew, for the brewer's enjoyment during the process.

The first steps we don't have pictures for are malting and grinding because most distilleries have had to abandon their malting and grinding factories for economic reasons. Now, most distilleries simply order in their malt and grist made to order.
1) Malting - The reason I say made to order is because there are many flavours of scotch, but the most obvious flavour - peat is determined in the malting. If you want a very peaty scotch like Laprohaig, the distillery would order a very specific amount of peat measured in PPM or parts per million. If you don't want a heavily peated scotch, you would want to order 0 ppm. The peat flavour comes from the fact that as the barley is malting it is heated over kilns whose main fuel is (or can be) peat.
2) Grinding - Once the malt is done it is ground up into a type of flour called grist.
3) Brewing - This series of steps is almost identical to beer brewing, which we found interesting because Greg brews from grains.
The grist is mixed in with hot water in the Mash Tun (pictured here). The hot water helps to convert the naturally occurring starches in the grain to fermentable sugars. Typically the mixture is 1:4 (grist to water). The Mash Tun has two levels to it with a perforated bottom that will allow the wort (sugary liquid that results from the brewing process) to flow through the bottom and separate it from the left over grains. Most of the post brewed grain is given to local farmers for cattle feed. When brewing at home, Greg and I usually make brewer's bread with some of the excess grains.
The brewing process will be done several times to ensure the best wort flows off. After only the brewing process either beer or spirits could be made. The alcohol level is around 4-7%... there's still a long way to go until it reaches the standard 43% most scotch whiskys sell for!

Alas, somewhat out of focus. Nevertheless the photo has some charm, especially the interplay of light in the liquid and glass.

Bright. Lively. Sweet without being cloying. There's a richness and a fullness to it. Perfect for Xmas Eve.
(Truth telling here: I believe the only other barleywine I've had before is Ridge Runner and but so that doesn't count?)
