First, we start with the freshest ingredients, mostly from our local brew supply store, but often straight from the Brew Garden...
Then we add the ingredients into a pot and cook them for a while...
Then Brew Master Skye checks on the pot a lot - we're not really sure what he does, but he says it's important.
When the special ingredients are done cooking, we pour the not-yet-delicious wort into a very technical brew storage unit. You lay-people refer to it as a "bucket."
It is imporant to strain out all of the stuff that doesn't want to become beer.
A lot of supervision is usually required to make the brew process go smoothly.
Also lots of beer love...After we can't wait any longer, usually a few weeks, it's time to bottle the almost-beer.
Everyone loves washing the bottles!
I swear we didn't really use this as our X-mas tree this year. Seriously...
And in the end... cold, deliscious FPB beer - CHEERS!

Wow, how cool! Hey FPB - it would be cool if you could post your top notch home brew recipes on your website for the new releases, or maybe on the blog.
I was also thinking you could do an online blog poll when it is time to come up with a new idea for the beer - maybe for naming ideas?
I also heard a dirty rumor that there is a new label almost ready for release - when do we get to see it?
Do you think you could share your draft labels so that we can make comments/ suggestions to them? I like Eli's idea of letting everyone chip in on the naming process too. I heard that can be the most difficult part of the brewing process....
