I found a box with a bunch of old strawberry blonde homebrew in it today. Just looked up this batch in Beersmith and it turns out it's 5 years old! Still tastes good, although not like it did when it was winning gold medals.

I'll love him more.


Drinking water while watching my wort try to cool from 80 to 60. It's creeping, ground water is 60.

Do you all cover your wort while cooling? Hard to do with this contraption but I wonder.

Annnnd it's upside down. Damnit!


I have a similar looking IC. I put the lid kinda 1/2 on to lower the chances of something falling in.
 
No more Troegenators for me today.


Hopsecutioner. Meh.

Now a Resin. Not sure how to put this swing set together. All the instructions are in Spanish, Dutch, French, and Polish. I'm sure after another beer I'll figure it out. ImageUploadedByHome Brew1398481826.743075.jpg

Holy christ man. That's pure evil. They must be retired lawn junkies
They also put notes on everyone's mail boxes saying they will call animal control if they find poop in their yard again. It was outdoor cats and instead they blamed my dog and my neighbors. They would put the poop on our driveways. They need to DIAF actually. I've never actually had any hate for a neighbor before I met these two dudes. I wrote "you have zero control over city parking" on paper and I'm going to put it all over their no parking signs.

HB hoppy mess. Keg is almost dead.

10 minutes into hefeweizen mash.
It's gonna be a late night
Agreed. 5.5 hour brew day. Actually not at all bad considering I was crazy enough to start just before 5 and I was racking to my buckets at 10:20 pm. I think with the pump I didn't vorlauf like I normally should so that killed some time. Beer was fairly cloudy but it'll work itself out. Testing out new/used ferm chamber.

I ended up doing that towards the end. :)
Water. I need to go to sleep.
 
Finally scored the SanTan Mr Pineapple Wheat seasonal offering. Pretty damn tasty.

Another hoppy mess, just starting the boil. Stuck sparge cost me some time. Pre-boil gravity sample looks good.

Brewing this late? That's dedication lol. I try not to let me brews go too late. Planning on brewing Wednesday. Need to make a recipe. Going to be another sour.
 
Well anyway tonight I rocked a couple Arbor Brewing Rockeye Imperial Rye's best rye I've had, Founders Red Rye was usually my #1 but this tops it, along with a Shorts Alien Einstein India Pale Lager, really good tropical hops from sole Mosaic hops. Now onto a Great Lakes Rye of the Tiger IPA, very good stuff. At about 7.5% each minus the Shorts at 5.5abv I'm feelin pretty good. Man I love beer.

Busy weekend with kids birthday and soccer games. Gotta have this ready for a party on the 15th. Won't be cleaning up until tomorrow.

The things we do for beer...

Another hoppy mess.

Damn, really? I've got to get out more. Love their Breakfast Stout.



HB Cascade Pale Ale this evening. Mmmmmm


Oh yeah, hit this week! Breakfast stout won't be out until August, but we have their whole standard lineup. I love the breakfast stout, but this is the best Porter I have personally had.
 
Note to self: next time you think 'start brewing at 8pm won't be that bad', punch yourself in the nuts. Or have billy-klubb do it for you.

5.75 gallons of Hefe in the fermenter. Missed O.G. By .008. Tried boiling an extra 45 min, gave up, drinking this and going to bed....
 
I just found this on the counter only half empty.

Guess my husband only drank half last night. Ugh. Wasteful.
