Art got a new hobby in December 2008. He decided to embark on beer brewing. I don't drink it, so I can't swear that it's any different from the store-bought stuff. It seems like a lot more work, though. Anyway, after a good batch, then a not-so-good batch, he got around to ordering the supplies and making a new batch. I immediately saw this as a father-son bonding experience. Alex was all over it. He wanted to help Dad with his 'speriment. He was fascinated with the "potion" that Art was making. Alas, he asked many questions while Art was trying to do higher math and make notations in his special notebook. Fortunately everyone made it through. I really am not sure what Alex thinks they did. He keeps referring to the potion that is burbling away in the spare room, and he loved all of the nifty looking science experiment equipment. Art did tell him it was beer, but I think Alex would rather think of it as some sort of chemically engineered super-potion. Here are some pictures of the process.
