Drinking some (and probably plenty more) because I had a tooth pulled today and the anaesthetic is about to wear off. Yeah I know it's not a good idea. Don't care. Oh look, beer....and aren't hops supposed to be good for pain anyway?
Looked at my keg longingly. I've got an Irish red in it sitting at room temperature for a bit to try and clean up some acetaldehyde. I just started up brewing again after taking about a year and a half off, so there's nothing in my pipeline yet to hold me over. Drinking a Founders Solid Gold in the meantime.
Big spender! My thief is a dollar store turkey baster, lol. Also pipettes like a mini baster.Got all my shopping done... Also a wine thief so I don't have to break out the autosiphon every time I need to test something in the carboys. Bout damn time for that one.

So yesterday my friend's daughter got married and the Irish Red I made was a huge hit! They had a full complete open bar and you could get whatever you wanted to drink. Word got out that myself and the bride's father had made the beer that was on tap. Many people got curious to see what the fuss was about, as everyone was complimenting how good and drinkable the beer was. It was a great feeling to see all the people holding beer glasses with my beer being enjoyed by all!

Had the same thing happen to me last year when my daughter got married. Had never met most of the people there before, and everyone who had some of my beer loved it. Killed that keg in less than 3 hours! Definitely one of the high points in my brewing career. Congratulations!
Gelatin works pretty good for clearing haze. Seems like haze is not an issue with NEIPAs and some of the newer beer styles.Kegged my Citra SMaSH. It's also the first time I fined with gelatin, so we'll see how it comes out. Sitting on the couch drinking my hydrometer tube at the moment.
Stared at the beer needing to be bottled but I cant because of my broken hand...
Getting competition entries prepared for drop off tomorrow. Cleaned a carboy, and getting things together for a weekend brew day.
