Look past that bit of Maori-style “tatoo work” on Milo’s chin (washable marker), and you’ll see he’s learning another favorite Kiwi past-time. Home brew. This batch Jeremiah made is ginger beer, and it lives for its fermentation life behind the chair in the living room where Milo can monitor its bubbling activity. This particular batch might not be reproducible despite careful following of the recipe, because right at the end Milo dipped his markery hand in the otherwise-carefully-controlled yeast colony, no doubt adding a bit of “local” fauna.
