I finally made it to the garage!

Monday, cut hole in top of keg
Wednesday, Burner arrived
Today, got propane tank and moved operations to the garage!

Today I am brewing up the last of my extract before I go AG I just wanted to try out the new gear. The keggle doesn't have a spigot yet, still gotta build the mash tun. Today's brew is just a celebration of moving out of wifey's kitchen.

I 'm loving this! So that's what a real boil looks like! I've never had to turn down the gas before! ......And hey! why does it not mention anywhere on this site how hard it is to actually see inside the keggle? Huh? I need to get a flashlight.

Oooh this feels so much more manly than that cissy kitchen brewing! I think I've grown a third testicle in just the last half hour. It's gonna look like a bunch plums down there by the time this brew is over.

congratulations! pretty soon you'll wonder how you ever did it before.

Congrats! Makes things easier and keeps the SWMBO happier.

Well, brew finished now. That was WAY easier and more fun than the kitchen!!....I wanna do another!!! Now! Now! Now!!!

Effing A! Congrats on the move!! Brewing in the garage is SO much better than the kitchen. SWMBO is off my ass about the smell, doesnt matter if you spill anything, and the dreaded boil over isn't as big of a deal. Plus what better way to spend a few hours in the garage than brewing/drinking HB. Cheers my friend

Wait.

Gnome brews beer?

Oh yeah! I have a drain in the centre of the floor here. I can lift out any bags and just plonk them down on the drain to dry some till I wash them later. no need to do all that kitchen-drip-catching crap. And If I boil over? Meh, so what?

Man, I'm soooo stoked to start AG now!

Good job. Now that you're going AG, I certainly have no excuse.

BTW, you're not supposed to post actual brewing info. It confuses us.

Everything in general, up to, and including beer.

In defence of my low standards, if I never had them I would have drunk less beer, slept with less women, and died of boredom in my twenties.

I think I've found a new sig

Ya gotta admit that it's true though. I've seen so many lives ruined by the training of mothers/society/religion/convention..... Enjoy life. Tomorrow is just a possibility, not a guarantee.

Gnome should drive his crazy British arse south for about an hour and learn how to brew AG with me this Saturday.

This makes me wonder, has anybody met the Gnome yet? Anyone?

OB, you must inform us all when/if you meet him.
BTW OB, your avatar is killing me at work. I need eyes in the back of my head to ward off the higher-ups.

I'm just as normal and maladjusted as anyone else here. Nothing to see, move along now....I'm so absolutely normal that I curse my normality. Even my webbed fingers are no compensation.

Hey, I just realized you changed your name and your avatar. You had me confused for awhile there.
I'm slow on the uptake, if you haven't noticed.

Actually, this is it. I've found a combo that reflects me, for the most part. Sorry, should have warned you.

Really. Every time I see that avatar the theme song from Bonanza plays in my head.

Oh!! Thats HB!!! Ah! ok!!









Well, that explains a lot! I thought it was a new crazy, but it's really just an old one!

Eric "Hoss" Cartwright [1959-1972], played by Dan Blocker
Hoss is a big man. He is the largest of the three kids and provides the muscle to the family. He is well known around the territory for his strength and huge size.

Although very large, he is very gentle and loving to his friends and family and is very polite to those around him.

He has a big appetite and can mostly be found hanging around the kitchen stealing food from their Chinese cook Hop Sing.

I'm not clean shaven though. And not quite as big.

Sorry to divert the thread. Glad to hear you're going AG.

Yeah we all knew Hoss, and we love him dearly. Is this a new ploy from you to gain a little rub off love? (Rub off love, I'm gonna trademark that phrase. )

Yeah, I'm old enough to have recognized the pop culture reference....He was my favorite cartwright boy.

I finally got my old garage walled in last month. Nice being able to brew without yellow-jackets dive-bombing the kettle.

I've only done a couple batches inside on the stove. Got two propane tanks now.
