two separate batches two days later after adding another gallon of apple juice to each. So total 4 gallons of apple juice and 1 gallon of apple cider in each, plus 2+ pounds of corn sugar and a pound or two of fruit in each(plus a packet of montrachet each). Both bubbling away nicely creating...

Haven't had a chance to brew much the last few years with twins rounding out our house at 4 kids just over 2 years ago. But I was standing under a cherry tree at the in-laws family farm and couldn't resist picking 6 containers of tart pie cherries to bring back to see what happens if I add them...

One of these would be awesome. Count me in.

Great article. I know I need to exercise with 4 kids and tasting craft beers and home brews at least 5 days a week. I'm going to try the situps/pushups for each beer. See where I get in 2 weeks, give it a test run to see if I can keep it up without making excuses...

sweet, Mike got his loons.

Sweet, but just to clarify, the Grey Monday I am cool with whatever year. The Choc Rain and Mocha Wed are both 15s, but haven't researched to see if 15 is even an option on GM. The BT is what we really want a 13 of so we would have 11,12,13,14 plus CR, MW and GM. It's already set to be epic...

no one is taking this? Or did Nate and my multiple personality disorder break the MAW? I'm newly hooked up with regular access to De Garde and a few went out in my MAW, but I don't have those 4 you are looking for. All mine is recent the past few weeks. Plus I'm not looking to...

that's nice. If I didn't already have a system I would be seriously considering yours.

Yeah, I'll sneak that into the theater for sure. Got too many kids to be allowed to wait in line for opening night and drink in a tent in the parking lot, but inside a Cinetopia should be perfect. Just introducing the 5 1/2 year old and 2 1/2 year old to more star wars lately, they were a...

And then I pull the bottles out. And made romance explosion on my stomacchh. and then before I can finish this post, I realize I have a meeting in 3 minutes across the street. But I'm back. And Great Success! Our first Hill Farmstead, Anna, A Great South Bay Devils Deed, a Port Jeff...

Sooooo, Mike gets my heart rate up a little last week when he tells me "it's only a six shipper, but IMO one hell of a box." I think, damn, I know what I put in when I only sent 6, and he's crazy, so what am I in store for. I make Nate sweat a little... then I send him this.

box arrived at fedex in troutdale and then got shipped up to longview. This morning has been like the Christmas morning when you run down to open presents and your mom says you have to wait for your sister to wake up and your dad to get out of the shower before you can open your presents...

Feels like Christmas Morning. Fedex tells me a truck is on its way up from Troutdale... In advance

If Ed was on HBT, he would click like too. :tank: You guys quit picking on both my friends. Actually, Mike's box is supposed to land Thursday, and I just confirmed I will be in Seattle Saturday emptying bottles with Nate, so the timing is perfect. Might have to try an untappd check in...

Our 5 1/2 year old now chooses to "go commando" half the time. Got a little pee on your underpants? No problem, go commando. Meanwhile we have a 2 1/2 year old who hasn't quite decided yet to lose the diapers and pacifier because he has twin 1 year old siblings. Now instead of brewing, I...
