Anybody see this: Ireland's Bronze Age brewing...

[abeck1969]

How did people back in the bronze age brew? In wooden troughs in the ground of course. The video is actually pretty entertaining. Hmmmm...I think I worry about sanitation too much.

Thanks for the Project Gutenberg links. Why didn't I think of that? :-) That is sooo...cool.

That's a great link for the others to follow Beck. There was a lot of concern over "why" on the other thread, Guild's answer there and that link will answer those questions!
