A revelation

The other day I was thinking I should brew another batch of Coconut Chocolate Stout. I began scouring my library for a recipe. Then I smacked my forehead in the tomato juice fashion and said, "Austin Homebrew Supply has a Double Chocolate stout kit. Why reinvent the wheel?" That's when I realized something: I drink most of my homebrew. I don't enter it in competitions. Kits are okay! I will still make beers from recipes, but if I am in the mood for Bourbon Stout or Vanilla Porter, I can buy a kit that I know will turn out well, rather than gamble on a new recipe.
