Sierra Nevada Narwhal imperial stout.

Celebratory beer since I just (finally) bought tickets to the Missouri Beer Festival this Saturday!

I've tried that and its pretty good just hoppier than I expected for a dark brew. Congrats on the tickets
 
Finishing up coffee before brewing a replacement Stout for one I f'd up big time. FedEx was early today and brought me a pond pump so it'll be my first try at trying to chill wort without carrying a 60qt boiling kettle through the house.

I'm intrigued. I've never used a wort chiller (hose water is cold as hell here). What is the set up with the pond pump for cooling?

EDIT: never mind. I looked on Youtube. So, are you using a copper wort chiller but just recirculating ice water from a cooler?

Interesting, pond pump? One thing about brewing inside makes me worry whether I could get my wort chiller to work. My stupid faucet is odd and doesn't take a hose adapter. I was thinking of using duct tape.
 
Just got to the hotel, after a 12 hour train trip. Having a Lil' Helper IPA from Mothers brewing (Out of Springfield, Mo). Not bad at all.

Not yet. Interview went great but they asked me why I want to jump into another band (senior). I obviously can't say $. I need a more challenging job and am ready for even more responsibility is what I said.

This is another job within my organization but it's about a 45-minute ride one-way without traffic. There is always traffic so regardless of whether or not I get the gig, it's something I really have to think about. $ will be the deciding factor. And there is no ability to work remotely for this one.

Water. Gym time. It's going to be a good gym session as I am pissed off. /ramble
 
Pot o' coffee is on. I really need to learn how to go to bed earlier, especially when the pup whines to go out at 330am every morning like clockwork

Good ramble. Good ramble. Well, I hope it works out for you which ever way you decide. My Dad's been driving a good 45 minute drive into Pittsburgh for work for the last 35 years! It's doable! Maybe not enjoyable, but doable.
 
Drinking water at the office. In one hour, I will really wish I were someplace serving beer as the greatest two days of the year begin...if you're not working.

You and me both! At least I can watch them all on the computer :D How many brackets did you do this year?

Yeah, it will be on my computer, too, but it's not the same as sitting in a bar for it.

I did only one bracket (I never do variations on a bracket - that's like guessing 5 times on "pick a number between one and ten). I did not enter any pools, though, just did it for kicks.

I was surprised at my finals and final four but the matchups just made sense to me. I have Villanova v. Florida and Creighton v. Louisville in the Final 4 with an all Big East final (after bad-mouthing the league all year) and McDermott putting on a show to bring the title to Creighton.

I always have to make two, a realistic one and a kstate one, but I still only have them winning one game this year. I have Florida vs Iowa state and Wisconsin vs Louisville, with Louisville pulling a repeat vs Florida. Either way, tons of great games to be played. Watch out for some of the big 12 teams, there will be some upsets there.

For the past 2-3 weeks, Louisville has been the best team in the nation, hands down. I will not be surprised if they win it. I think Michigan State is getting to much credit right now...but I would not be shocked to see them make it, either.

Water...still...

Dayton hanging on, fins.

I asked this in the General Beer section but thought you guys may be more helpful - I am moving from BIAB all grain to a mash tun (tun build is not an issue - I paid the extra to get one already modified). But during the brew day, is there anything I should be looking out for with the tun that I may not know as a BIAB guy? The tun should be here tomorrow and I am thinking of doing a weekend brew.
