is coming soooon! Huzzah!

However, I'm still lamenting the fact that I never got an 02/02/02. Like most everyone else, I found out about the series in '03. I know they're going for ridiculous prices these days, even if one *could* find someone willing to part with theirs.

I'm wondering, since the recipe is posted on the Stone Website, has anyone tried it out? Do you think a novice brewer could pull it off? I've never brewed before. Flirted with the idea, stared soulfully into the eyes of the notion, but never gone all the way. I'm thinking that brewing may be good dirty fun anyhow, but I want to see if I can do this one. Any words of advice, or am I asking the wrong tribe?

p.s. If there ~is~ someone willing to part with a spare 02/02/02, I have an extra 05/05/05 I can throw in, if you missed it...
