Sundays ain't just about Football

I'm brewing this Sunday. Yeah, so? My kids want to help! This is gonna be cool. Not only is it male bonding (they're all boys) but it's a chemistry lesson too!

Football - "In the American usage, a game where a bunch of over-paid sissies in too much padding use their HANDS to move the ball."

I thought it went: "In the American usage, a game where a bunch of over-paid sissies in too much padding use their HANDS to play with a single oval shaped ball."

I'm proud to announce my new assistant brewmaster has not only helped me bottle my oatmeal stout but helped me make my first batch of '06. Of course, he demanded a lunch break a few minutes into the process, then took a nap for the remainder of the steps, but he'll get it down eventually.

Couldn't wait until Sunday, brewed today with the boys. It went well, only lost a thermometer in the process. It's sitting in the primary right now, and blowing bubbles already.
I realized I need a strainer for the hop residue. So, we all (the boys and me) learned something new today.

Brewed Friday Night, bottled 2 batches with buddies on Saturday, and purchased supplies. Bottled a batch of mine Sunday, and built an insulated box for lagering in. Also killed a batch of wine, and will re-rack that into a carboy. Might get going on an extract lager today, but then I'll need to buy another carboy to rack into....

Damn, you are a busy guy!

I got an official assistant as well. He's now done 3-4 batches with me and yesterday he actually worked more than he drank. Not bad considering it was a double batch day. He definitely helped me shave 1-2 hours off of my 10 hour session yesterday. He's getting into it and works at a machine shop & is starting to "envision" what he can build for a better 3 tier system .

Mine can't drink the end result yet, but thet were curious and got a snootful of Co2, when they wanted to see the brewing. ILMAO!

Oy... I'm in the Detroit area. So around here it's superbowl this and superbowl that. I can't wait till the superbowl comes. It will come... it will go and that will be the end of it.
