Beertaps Review
This is the opposite of the traditional black chalkboard. It's the more advanced whiteboard that college professors and corporations across the nation use for writing their notes and thinking out loud. If Einstein could have had this baby, we would have had the greatest beer a long time ago.
With each new recipe you try to brew, give it a name. Doesn't have to be special! Jack Daniel's batches were marked with No. 1, No. 2...on down to No. 7. The cleaning solution Formula 409 was treated the same way until they found perfection. You can do that too!
Amber Ale, Coffee Porter, Chocolate Stout are just a few of the things you can write on your whiteboard...
"Try this! Tastes good. It's a'right."
"My recent batch. Explodes in your mouth."
"Awful. Gut check. Drink it down. I need the keg back."
