is once its in the fermenter, I'm ready to go again!!!! LOL

Finished up my partial mash today and then cleaned up a bit and took a break (heat was giving me a headache) and now I'm bored.....

Guess I could go write some boring accounting code but why do that when I can brew? Only no supplies. Really gotta get up to full mashes....then we can do those big ones......

I actually have been paying the old BJCP a lot of mind lately, and actually planning some beers around those stiff guidelines. As a newer brewer I didn't care, but now I'd like to start entering comps and I can't put an 8% Irish red into a competition, however good it is.

My problem is brewing WAY more than I can drink. I've been drinking even less lately too, trying to not drink most weekdays etc to keep the calories down.
