Beer and Guns

So a quick update on my beer making and hunting rifle buying...  

So my first batch of beer did not taste very good. It was beer, but apparently beer yeast has a 4 month shelf-life (the yeast I used was 3 years old). Old beer yeast becomes wild yeast. Since it is still yeast it will ferment the beer, but it creates a sour taste. It basically tasted like sour liquid bread beer...if that makes any sense. I've since bought new ingredients and will be starting on a new batch this weekend. I'll call this new batch 'Christmas Bock' (the last batch could be called Sour Stout) since it is supposed to taste like an American bock, similar to a Shiner Bock or Amber Bock. Bocks are my favorite type of beer as I like the richness and smoothness.  

So after doing some research I found out the Remington 770 is not very well made. The inner parts are made up of inferior materials in an effort to make the rifle sell for less. After research and going to a number of gun shops, I'm now leaning toward a Savage 111. The 111 is supposed to be the best price and value for a hunting rifle. I haven't pulled the trigger (sorry for my bad gun humor) on buying one yet. I need to get my bank account back up from Christmas shopping and not working all month. I did get my hunting license and purchased a wild boar tag in anticipation of my first pig kill. My goal is to have a party for the purpose of serving wild boar and homemade beer. I will keep you posted...
