Don't judge. I was trying to figure out how to tell him. And was bursting at the seams to say something to somebody :) To make it real. It helped a lot! So truly Thank You!

Thank you for all your ideas and support. It is our first and I went with the simple approach. To which he replied, "I thought something was up." Now his mind is exploding over details. :)

Just found out we're pregnant! Any ideas on how to let the Brewmaster in the house know?

Allentown Brewfest is today! Tickets available.

You are far from alone. Congratulations on your BSN. I'm an RN working in NY. There's a thread on here about occupations and quite a few were engineers, but healthcare was also represented :)

Anyone going to the BrewFest in Allentown?

How did it taste?

Thanks! The new one in Sparta is North Jersey Homebrew. It is right on 15. The guys are really nice.

So what's it called and where is it? Always looking for a new place to go and people to meet. I'm over by PJ.

Time, time, time. That was what I figured. I was concerned about the temp too. Thank you for the reassurance. Will swirl and wait :)

Yeah, but it is so nice to go somewhere and actually see, touch stuff and talk to people. It's a weird hobby, you know somebody who knows somebody who brews, but none of our immediate friends do...yet. Cool that you're a nurse too!

We aren't that far, just over an hour. Actually there is a new shop in NJ that opened up this summer that is about 45 mins away. And the only shop in Pa I know of is an hour and 45mins away. :(

Ok, we brewed our 2nd batch, Midwest's Smooth Nut Brown Ale OG 1.048, FG 1.010. Taste is great. We bottled 3 weeks ago with Cooper's Drops (I know, I know, my husband thinks they are easy and worked great on our 1st batch) It has been 3 weeks in bottles in the basement at around 63-65 degrees...

Keegan Ales, Mother's Milk Stout very drinkable.

Interested in how this turns out.
