Kid Pics

[Brewpastor]

I hope I'm not to late here. I usually don't have family pictures on this lapop here. But I found one picture of my little girl in my inbox:

All by helsef, she climbed up on the layzy-susan to get to my wife's bithday cake while mommy wasn't watching. This was just to hilarious to be mad at her. She seems so resourceful.

Fast forward a dozen years... I would buy a few tap locks and such if I was you. Just a suggestion!

mary and i, a i think she's a year or so older now, prolly 3-4 in that pic... i'm still an uglygoat though

I decided to immortalize our kids on the label of my first batch

I guess that will be necessary. But she is half German, so her drinking age should be (21+16)/2 = 18.5 . But even before that she and her brother (on it's way) can be seriously involved in the brewing process even before that.

I mentioned this a few times already, but when I grew up I loved to drink Malzbier. This is essentially unfermented lightly hopped and carbonated wort (barley pop ??). In order to make this at home you will have to mash, boil, chill and force carbonate. It's ready to serve as soon as it is carbonated, but may not keep as long as beer since it lacks the alcohol.

What kind of OG and IBUs are we talking? Was it light or dark? It sounds like it would be fun for my boys.

Freaking cuties Walker!

Thanks, man.. I made them myself.

It's pretty dark. I really have to get on the ball for this and dig up some recipes. The bitterness should not be percievable as such. When I drank it I didn't know that hops is used for this beer. Some German brewers even use it as starter wort for their yeast. Though others warn of this since it can contan high levels of non malt bases sugars since it doesn't have to comply with the prurity lay (it's not officially called Malzbier). There is one major brand that I have seen in a supermarked in the Boston area once: Vitamalz -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamalz

Unfortunately this is the only good English source I was able to find. The homepages of Vitamalz and Karamalz don't habe an English version .

I'll start a thread about this once I know more and have even brewed one. I may even make an extract version first so I don't have to fit this into my regular brewing schedule and can do this as an evening thing.

This is odd, Karamalz, one of the leading brands of Malt Beer in Germany, seems to have English content on their web-page but don't have it linked to their home page:

You can play with the id=x setting to get to various pages.

there is a puerto rican drink my friend loves, called malto, basically the wort sans the yeast. it's really sweet, but tasty.

Thanks T1,

That's what I was about to post as well since I came across this in my online search for Vitamalz and Karamalz.
I'll have to give it a try and see if it tastes similar.

But even before that she and her brother (on it's way)...

Hey, congratulations!

 

[Kaiser]

Hey, congratulations!

yeah, thanks.

To you too. I saw the ultrasound comment. Time to get some batches in before you will be all swamped with helping out.

You should as her that when she comes out looking for you and you are stiring the mash

Left hand -> heir apparent.
Right hand -> stir mash.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

A delivery room is nice and clean, plus they have all kinds of hoses and stuff, and even oxygen. I think you could do pretty good brewing during delivery.

The Baron: Just keep doing those breathing exercises honey, while I get this siphon started.

The Barroness: You @(@&$# worthless piece of (@&*#$!

Ehh, is there supposed to be a pic there? I'm not seeing it. A glitch witht he BB, or with BS?

Kai.....the should be captioned, "What cake?"

 

[SwAMi75]

Weird....the attachment shows up in my quote.

Before any beer, these guys are the pride and joy... #1 son is Ian, 10 at the end of this month. #2 son is Adam, 2 this past March...

My two boys before the first day of school last fall. It was the most recent pic I could find in which they weren't making goofy faces

here's an updated photo of me and the kid after a few too many...

You getting that cute kid drunk?

 

[the_bird]

Hey, y'all... new here, but since I'm a proud Daddy and all, I wanted to toss out a pic of my babe. Cutest. Kid. Ever (in my ever-so-humble opinion, I *may* be a little biased).

Beer is good, kidlings is better.

 

[MrSaLTy]

We don't do enough of this around here IMHO, and I just got a new school pic, so here's my youngest...she'll be 5 this Sunday.

ElP..... remember this picture the next time she is stomping around having a tantrum.

Awesome. Welcome, the_bird!

 

[magno]

This is my brewmaster in training. She'll be 5 this summer.

Here she is helping out on a pale ale.

Here we are relaxing afterwards. Mine is amber ale, hers is homemade cream soda.

 

[Dude]

Gotta get my babes in here. This is the most recent I have. I think they were staying at my sister's place when this was taken, hence camping out on the floor.

 

[the_bird]

Very cool, Dude. How old are they?

Hey, you're a mod - I propose that this thread ought to be made sticky, so that we can easily add pics as the kidlings get older or do things particularly cool (which Cassie seems to be doing every day now). Plus, it makes the forum all the more respectable to SWMBO when she sees us talking about the little ones with pride - we're more than just a bunch of drunks, we're a bunch of drunks with cute kids.

You look a little thin to be a homebrewer. We don't take kindly to you "I can see my feet when I look down" types.

Your brewmaster-in-training is a lot more helpful than mine. Past couple of times I've tried to get him involved it was "I need a break. I'm hungry. I'm sleepy. Play with me. I need a new diaper." You just can't get good help from a 6 month old these days.

Your girl is cute. What nationality is her mother? Your skin tone is extra-lite DME, but she looks like she has either Hispanic or Asian-Pacific genes giving her that nice, tan skin tone.

She's a cutey all right, but you should get that ball in her left hand while she's young. Plenty of scholarship opportunities for a left-handed female pitcher. Scholarships = more beer money.

 

[the_bird]

Her sport's going to be hoops. She's gonna play PF at either UConn or Tennessee. Can't tell from the pic, but she's a big girl, her percentiles have been high 90s for both height and weight. Although, I may reconsider; women's softball is a lot more fun to watch than women's hoops (does Jennie Finch still play?)

Something tells me that is your desktop background.

Don't worry, raising fish and kids is quite different. The kids pretty much take care of themselves after a year or so.

tell your kids to stay away from pot! It's almost as expensive and time-wasting as homebrewing.

For Chicago!

She doesnt make it through an entire brewing session, but she enjoys the highlites, adding hops and "little animals that help us make beer", watching the airlock go...

Her mother is chinese, thats where she gets her good looks.
