Beer!

Dog chewed up the DirecTV remote. I'm thinking of making it into a tap handle for the Doghouse ale. Seems appropriate.

Started Carnitas, made chili verde, going to the farmers market for more green chilis and veggies. Having folks over to watch the preseason Bronco's game. And.. getting ready to go back to work after 2 weeks off, and a week in Cozumel. Brewed yesterday, modified your Dead Guy clone...

Or go back to KC or central Texas where I spent most of my life. Yep, I know heat and humidity far to intimately. I do like bikini counting, no matter where I happen to be!:ban:

There, fixed that fer ya.:ban:

Will no one else say it??!?!?! Man UP!!! :D A little heat and humidity cleanses the soul and lends a sacred feel to creating your wonderous elixer. Be glad and rejoice that you can actually brew when it's hotter than Haides.

44 and almost 3 years. SWMBO rues the day she gave me a starter kit. She thought it would be one and done. HA!!!

I'm back in NKC area for an indeterminate amount of time. Was comming to help my mother recover after heart surgery, but she had a stroke after the surgery. Will be in town for a while and want to find a good bottle shop with a large selection so I can take home some brews that not available...

I primary for 4 - 6 months. Yes, I said 4 - 6 MONTHS. Keg, and I'm lucky if half the keg makes it to carbed status. That's why I just started 10 gallons! I do prefer the carbed style. I feel there is more flavor and I tend to sip rather than gulp thanks to those tiny bubbles.

Love my SQ-14. Holds my 15 gallon Polarware pot with ease, and I use a March pump for all liquid transfers, so height isn't an issue. Had some issues with wind and heating up the surface below the stand, so I used some leftover aluminum flashing and made a quick head shield that also nixed...

I let most batches sit in primary for 3-6 weeks. When I rack, the trub is really dense and very little transfers to the keg. Like Yooper, I leave it for a couple of days in the kegerator to cool and carb. First pour of a few ounces is cloudy, but the rest of the keg is pure bliss.

I'll go Yooper one further in going against the grain. Buy another keg and keg them all! Age if you want, rotate if you want, drink all at once if you want.
