I got sidetracked and started The Giver by Lois Lowery last night. I'm halfway through it and it is really compelling.

I picked up A Moveable Feast By Hemmingway while I was brewing this weekend. Once I finish that I'm going to start A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. Yeah, they're for kids but I've heard that they are a fun read.

I went to a restaurant recently and ordered a Guinness. The waitress said, " Oh we're all out, the closest thing I have is a yuengling." yeah those are close.

Chabon is great. I really like his nonfiction stuff too, like Maps and Legends

I just finished Joshua Bernstein's book Brewed Awakening. It's a quick read about different ingredients, brewers and styles. I liked it as a general overview about beer. I especially like the flavor profiles of the different malts and hops. Next I'm going to read The Twelve by Justin Cronin...

Alright then, I won't repitch. I'm probably going to add the sugar tomorrow morning. I brewed this past Saturday and it seems to have slowed down a bit. I removed the blow-off tube and affixed an airlock that is bubbling along pretty fast, but the hard churning in the carboy has mostly stopped...

also this is an extract recipe.

I didn't mention this in the first post: it is a 2.5 gallon batch that I pitched one packet into.

So my first barleywine is in primary chugging away happily. I used S-05 yeast. Part of the recipe is adding sugar after a few days directly into the primary. I'm pretty confident in doing that and using that technique. I am wondering if S-05 can get down to the predicted final gravity of 1.026...

I've brewed this twice. One is in the bottle and a variant of this is in primary. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/15-minute-cascade-pale-ale-210253/

Leithoa: Sounds like nice summer reading.

What kind of journals?

I enjoyed Good Omens, too. It was a couple of years back, so I don't remember a whole lot but I remember liking it.

I brewed an extract barleywine this morning and I'm going to brew a Citra IPA on monday. I work in a restaurant and don't work mondays so I consider that part of the weekend.

The Parting Glass at the end of the night. When I was in Germany they sang drinking songs from the middle ages. I guess we have "Sweet Caroline" in this country.

Good luck with Game of Thrones. My friends really like the series and I'm no stranger with the fantasy genre, but nothing good happens to anyone! I've been meaning to give it another go, though.

I really like Citra. I don't know why people would dislike it. If you talking about too much bittering I just made a Barleywine today that used Warrior with 19.7% AA. That is huge in my opinion. It's really citrusy and resinous and that's what I like in my beer.I'm planning an IPA that uses...

Right now I'm reading Chuck Klosterman's "I Wear The Black Hat". Its about villains in popular culture.

I like sunset on clay because they sell grains in bulk so I can get exactly what I need. I usually get yeast from Beers of the World and both for equipment needs.
