I'm guessing the bag was punctured by the hula girl.

This is a "how to know you're a home brewer" forum.. not "how to know you're messy."
When you hear a tip on the radio saying you can use a cooler to keep food warm on thanksgiving if you can't cook everything at once, and you want to call in and tell them how to pre-heat the cooler to maintain food temps.

When you think the beer you're drinking is definitely "the best beer ever" 😃. Of course it's an unlabeled bottle 😃

When you should be focused on more important things like school work

I see that you have fallen slave to the social pressures of, "Paid for education = financial success".
How do you know that if you go down that road you won't be screwing yourself out of the fame and glory/big $$$ that you could have by brewing instead of studying. And instead creating the next world class style of beer, that brings you billions of dollars, rather than the pesky millions you now hope for???

"Come to the Dark Side young insanim8er,... the dark side of beer. It will become your power and your tool to succeed. Trust me young Luke, eer I mean, young insanim8er."

Ya, I guess I have...
Good thing the government pays for my education. When deciding to go from sales into networking, it requires a bachelors degree just to get experience to get a job in the industry... No diploma = your resume flushed out by the automated system.
And that's becoming more and more true for many jobs these days.
Plus iOS app development pays better... So im focused on that too. Brewing in between.
If you think angry birds was big, just wait for
angry beers: attack of the killer krausen
And
killer yeast: sugar is too sweet to survive
Coming soon to an iOS device near you
Plus I'm a forward thinker. I figure soon the breweries will need me to manage, maintain and program their robot brewmasters...

Speaking again from the dark side,... You do know that Steve Jobs and his buddy, " The Woz" were both drummed outta college?
Actually, I gotta hand it to you, today is way different from when I was your age,( I'm guessing your folks might be young enough to be my kids).
Stick with your plan. and follow it through. Don't forget the beer, it will carry you through. Actually I could have worded that better,... I think the beer will cause someone to carry you through something,... I don't know.
pb --- I work 3rd shift so I might be impaired by now,... I don't know.
Just don't forget the BEER!

Hell yes! All the great inventors, thinkers and creative minds failed in school at some point. I have a rather big grudge against any entry level job post that has a requirement of X years of experience. Hello entry level means the start of a career so why do yo want previous experience? A person can not gain experience until they are allowed to start. Sorry rant over.

Annoying aint it? Often they will allow you in with less, or a degree can count as X years of it.

Running low on stock and work shuts down for 2 weeks at Christmas so I need plenty of beer. Money is tight from buying for the kids and the wife told me we don't have the extra cash for a batch. So I told her that she could just take this batch from my Christmas gifts.unionrdr said:

This.
Study hard and hit your goals. But don't forget about keeping a work-life balance. Hobbies like homebrewing and enjoying beer will help you remember why you are busting your arse every day. Even when you get busy with work, family, etc., don't forget to set aside some time and a little $$ for the good things in life.

When you are driving to Turkey day dinner this afternoon, a route I have taken many times and you happen to notice a street sign, "Pitchers way"
and the first think you think is yeast.
and the first think you think is yeast.
When you have more freezers / refrigerators for beer than for food.

Ya mine always gets a kiss good night ...the GF is lucky if she gets one. Lol
Good idea. Then I can sell it with all the other brewing books at every LHBS. :cross:
Maybe call it Dr. Strangebrew or: How I Learned to RDWHAHB and Love the Hops
Let the hops decide: A journey through life, struggles and home brewing.

I feel sure this has been said before but...
When you have a commercial beer that you used to love and it's extremely disappointing compared to your own homebrew.
