Default What have you done today?

I have bottled (2) 5 gallon carboys, and I'm brewing an American Bock Extract Brew right now.

Inventoried all my hops, grains and other expendables. Worked up 2 recipes to brew this weekend and actually did about an hours worth of real work from home.
Spent too many hours on here too.

Mounted my new pump and made up some new hoses to use with my 10 gallon system.


Gave it a 5 gallon trial run yesterday and will brew another 5 gallon trial tomorrow to see if it's truly dialed in.

played WoW, ran to the LHBS for bottle caps, sugar, irish moss, and traded 4 odd sized CO2 bulbs for 3 normal sized ones that'll work in my charger.

now I'm deciding what I could brew in the next 9 days, since I'm burning all my vacation from 2007.
I feel like doing another 3 gallon batch of beer, and some sort of mead...maybe a small batch with some crazy spice action.

Made a starter 2 days ago so I'm ready to brew later this afternoon.

I've been laying tiles since yesterday...lay 10 take a break...lay 10 take a break...it's hard on the back...... I used 11 boxes of tile (15 in a box) out of the 30 boxes purchased. I have another 40 boxes still to pick up to finish the job...

Good god what are you tiling?

I tiled my entire basement floor in one day, it nearly killed me. I have never been so exhausted in my entire life. Looks great though!

I brewed my first beer today! I am calling it Blue Collar Pale Ale.

My basement floor also. How much SF is your basement? How old were you at the time? Did you have any help?

I'm doing over 1300 SF. That's about 1400 tiles with the trimming (I hope that's all). Me? I'm 53 (soloing the tile project so no help)...plus I take a lot of breaks...

Can I still bench press over 200 lbs? Yes, but it might kill me. As a heart attack survivor I've learned not to kill myself...it has serious complications...

Remember the story about the old bull and the young bull??

A very big CONGRATS on your first brew!!!
