Obama Is A Homebrewer

[bum]

I've always wanted to know how an everyday event caught the eye of The Guinness Book of World Records. They are very pedantic when it comes to validating records and I don't think a submission from a bunch of half-inebriated students would cut the mustard.

You seem to be, quite wilfully, ignoring the entirely likely event that he did it on more than one occasion.

I'd imagine that not many of the tin foil hat brigade would sign the petition if you need to create an account to be able to do so.
"A whitehouse.gov account is required to sign Petitions"

I certainly would not want the men in black suits coming over to check out my homebrew.

The White House released the recipe!

I like the looks of the Porter. They do a partial (extract and steeped grains).

Hey Guys,

At a glance the recipes appear hard to follow, No batch size and OG? One is in HBU & Water QTS and the other in OZ and Gallons.


Cheers Rob.

Hard to follow? Isn't that the US Government's motto?

Both recipes say

Top with more water to total 5 gallons if necessary.

so there is your batch size.

I guess it's easy enough to workout. They are using glass carboys which are 6.5 Gallons (24L),
So if it was a 5 Gallon Batch (is that standard for US Brewers?) These would be the specs of the first recipe.

Depends on who is asked... I say brilliant!
He quit drinking before becoming Prime Minister, whilst leader of the ACTU (Australian Council of Trade Unions)

Down here, we think it is absolutely amazing (and frightening) that you guys had George Bush 2.0

He can still down a schooner like a champion at 82 years of age!

Found this article on Boston.com this morning

Campaign Bus full of Home Brew

also, he's stolen on of my earlier recipes. We all know that the US has spies everywhere, but I didn't know it went this far!!

Didn't take long. Three days it would seem...

Can something be considered historic when it occurred within the last year ?

I do not consider anyone a home brewer that pays someone else to brew for them, anymore then I would say they are a cook when they have a paid cook in the kitchen.

If he is packing home brew in his bus, he is breaking many state laws by doing so. Not all states allow home brewing and some restrict the consumption to your home. Even some do not allow giving it away. It could be considered as vote buying to hand out beer when asking for people to vote for him. In essence selling the beer for votes. Selling home brew is not allowed.

Admitting he gets an incomplete after almost 4 years in office. He should give up vacations, golf, and paying others to brew for him and study for his makeup exams. I am not ready to pay 4 more years for someone that goofed around and got an incomplete.

A homebrewer in the White House. Beats having a peanut farmer in the White House.

Haha what are they going to do, arrest him?
