~8 pounds of home grown 3C hops and another ~8 pounds of various pellets.
I should be set for a little while...

Cheers! ;)

I haven't made this years order yet. Other expenses (like buying gauze) keep getting in the way, but I might actually order this week. I doubt I've got 2 lbs left. On the other hand my fozen fruit stash is pretty sexy.

I slacked hard on getting fruit picked/canned/frozen this year. Pretty bummed to because it was a very good year up here. I did manage to get some in the fermenters though!

It's a little hot, but it is 10.1%. Probably should have let it sit for a year.

I wish I had that kind of freezer space.

I'm lucky my wife lets me get away with buying a couple pounds at once.

We put up quite a bit of food. We bought a very large chest freezer with our wedding money. If you don't have a deep freezer, you're actually better off keeping hops in the fridge.

Can't win them all. This years fruit stash is pretty small compared to last years. Just blueberries, scuppernongs, and some white peaches. I'm hoping to do a better job of having beers ready when fruit is ripe so I don't have to freeze as much.

Another cream ale before bed.

I hadn't heard that. I'd heard that deep freeze is best, but colder is better. A few random forum mentions saying otherwise (defrost cycles and what not), but Mr. Wizard from BYO saying home freezer.

I'm sure it's like many other things under debate.

4 years ago we were able to put 100 pounds of cleaned, peeled, peaches in the freezer from 2 small trees. Since then the bees and the blossoms haven't coordinated and we've had no peaches, almonds or nectarines. The bees do show up in time to pollinate the apples so it's not a total disaster yet.
Tonight I'm drinking my amber dryhopped with Cascade. I also kegged the last 5 gallons of that batch and dryhopped it with 1.25 ozs of Columbus.

About to open a growler of New Holland Mad Hatter to go with some chicken curry and Kebsa rice for dinner. I looooove when the house reeks of aromatic spices!

That looks delicious. And it would definitely allow me to have some quality time with my porcelain throne afterwards. Win win!

Drinking tea after studying boring crap for the last 90 minutes. Finishing up using my brain with some of this. White to move and to win. Anyone know the winning move here? Pretty simple one.

QWERTY keyboard schedule? Or a quirky work schedule? Haha all jokes aside I think I will be having some curry and rice for lunch or dinner tomorrow. I am salivating right now. Nicely done. Enjoy your meal with the missus.

Cheers.

I don't know the terminology, but move the queen to below his king. Do I win?

Drinking water. Don't know what time it is or what day it is :confused:

Can you get your hands on another? I'll gladly pay for it plus shipping & your time.
 
I had 5 of these Maori IPA's last night after 24 hours fridge time. Good carbonation,but only lasted to the last gulp or so. Needs more time obviously for longer lasting carbonation. but it still had a lil yeasty taste on the back.
Great flavor from the NZ hops that worked well with the malt profile. And at 8.81%,it def only took two bottles to get me there! So the lacto infection was beaten down for the most part. Maybe that's the yeasty taste on the back? It's small,but it's there...

Haha, I know what you mean. When my daughter was born, she was in the hospital for 3 weeks before we could take her home. So for 3 weeks we pretty much lived in the hospital.
Days and time of day were sometimes unclear.

Still wouldn't mind knowing but I'm going to do a trade for one with another member. You can let me know pricing and such as I wouldn't mind having two bottles. Appreciate it for sure.

Coffee. I have a ache in the head.

Well, I can't complain about three days, hope everything worked out for you.

Everything worked out great. It was stressful and scary at the time, but it all worked out.
And three days is still a lot when you're routine is interrupted.

Hopefully not for long with those growlers at home. :D

That's good to hear about your daughter.

We just finally got in a routine with our 18 month old and now were starting over again :eek:

My brother is trying to talk me into saving a growler till he visits on Sunday. Not looking good :)

Tell him to stop by 16 Ardmore Avenue 19003 and pick up two fresh growlers on his way to your place. Then there will be plenty for him to share! ;)

So your fiance went on a shot binge and you have a hangover?! Or, perhaps, you both went on a shot binge? :D
