Anyone else work hard on the labor day?

Worked on my keggle for a while today

I'm working on the last bomber of my dark IPA... tough work, let me tell ya...

Mmmm love ipa's

Was going to brew my Texas red today but my smack pack was dead. But I got my raspberry wheat kegged and dead guy clone into secondary with 1oz of Amarillo.

Working on an Oktoberfest right now

i had work today

Finished up a simcoe IPA a coupe hours ago. Now I'm just relaxing and trying to figure out what to have for dinner.

Did my first 10 gal all grain with the new set-up yesterday. The yeast is working hard today.

I worked on the honey-do list today to pay for the fun I had yesterday. Of course, having a few of my Rye Stout in the process.

got back from the Cities & put together a dresser from IKEA. I hate going in that place.

Working on my Milwaukee tumor right now.

^ LOL!

Did some cleaning around the brewery, a couple of cornies, a couple of flasks, a sampling tap. No heavy lifting at all. Then Beer-Thirty arrived and I've been hitting the house IPA and watching sports.

Total chill day, really...

Cheers!

Oh when I finished I got to try my Sierra Nevada torpedo clone that I Kegged Saturday

Worked on cleaning the garage/brewery while working on emptying my keg of Irish Red Ale.

We went out in the canoe to start harvesting wild rice. It's very hard work- really a "labor" day for us!

Only labor I did was try one of my Belgian Ambers.... Did not turn out well.

I kegged ten gallons of pale ale and brewed ten gallons of galaxy hopped blonde.

Now that's a good day!

At work right now, but I still get to browse HBT....

Did quite a bit of beer "labor" this weekend:
*Cleaned 3 kegs
*Kegged and carbed Pilsner
*Kegged and Carbed Porter
*Cleaned Brewroom
*Brewed a Bo-Pilsner
*Made a 2L 1056 starter for west coast amber
*Made a 2L 007 starter for pliny clone

**Oh yeah..... managed to do some quality control on several batches as well

Mowed yard, cleaned garage, washed cars, took boy to football practice.

My wife hates the place too...brings on panic attacks.

I browse their website, have a plan and execute it. I get frustrated that I cannot order online to pick-up at X-time Instead I have to go to the kitchen consultant...order then go to the bath consultant...order, rinse repeat.

By the end of a visit, I have "paid" in three departments and am sitting in the parking lot smoking a cigar waiting on their 5-7 minute stock pull time. It is always 30+ minutes and I do lodge a complaint every time.

Sadly, their kitchen cabinets and accessories (rail systems and shelves) are the best hing running for anywhere near 150% of the price. Mattresses, too.

Ever hate to love a place?

Oh, I didn't know we were counted the weekend! Today, we harvested the wild rice as I mentioned- but yesterday I:
- brewed 10 gallons of IPA
- racked 10 gallons of APA to kegs
- cleaned and tore down 3 kegs, and reassembled
- made a batch of blueberry wine
- rearranged the kegerator, moving nearly spent kegs to the front
- jumped some beer to a 3 gallon keg for the cottage kegerator
- cut a batch of soap

That's about it, for yesterday.

First, my hefeweizen brewed up for my upcoming Oktoberfest party.



Then dinner! Haven't made a beer can chicken in a while so it figured what the hell.

Ate, Swam, ate, put Kolsch into secondary, ate, brewed IPA, ate

John palmer big basin amber ale. With a few tweaks of course. We will see if mr. Palmer should write books. Joking of course.

The extent of my work today was a bit of homework I didn't do yesterday because I was busy celebrating Labor Day yesterday by brewing a DIPA and teaching my friend how to brew..
