Mark's newest hobby is brewing his own beer, and I think we are actually saving a little money doing it! We started out making hard cider with the apple cider we pressed at my parent's house. So good! Mark has also made Hefievisen and an IPA type beer. Each brew has progressivly gotten a little better. 
Straining out all the hops, oatmeal and other non-liquid ingredients. 
Here it is in the "car boy" all ready to start fermenting. In about 12 hours the yeast will be working over time and we will hear the bubbling as it ferments. For the first couple days everytime we open the cupboard, we get hit with the scent of yeast.
I think this is one of the best (and most useful!) hobbies Mark has ever had. It's been a lot of fun.

Well, I hope your batch turns out better than our's did, LOL! Not sure when Ryan is going to get some more hops etc...
I'll have to try this someday!
