Occupying oneself while beer is fermenting

is there a distinction between porn and bad movies?

 

I dont have the time to tinker or watch videos much, i do read brewing book but thats about it, otherwise, raising my two young kids, full time employment and a house thats forever a fixer-upper.
if i get to the beer, i get to the beer, it can wait.

 

Uh, YEAH!

Some pr0n is good, some is bad.
Some Bad Movies are good, some are bad.
Some GOOD movies are bad too.

I turn off any pr0n where the women are making fake moan noises the whole time. Makes me want to smack them. (Then they would probably just make MORE moaning noises and begging for more...)

Ok, anyway, where were we?

What to do while waiting. Well, I have tried canning stuff for brewing, like Starter Wort, Sterile Water, and Priming Solution. I use a pressure canner at 15 lbs for 15 minutes and take some freshly mashed wort and can it so that when I want to build a yeast starter I just grab a jar from the shelf and it's ready to go. Same with 1/2 pint jars of sterile water for yeast rehydration and sugar water solutions for priming bottles.

There are always thing to buy and build to make the hobby more convenient, like electric this, or automatic that. Kegging is nice, and it's always good to have a fermentation chamber to keep temps steady.

For non-brewing related, you could watch Battlestar Galactica, Dr. Who, Supernatural, Breaking Bad, etc.

 

I just LOL'd.

 

Wait till you start making sours. Then you have to find something to occupy your time while your beer ages...FOR TWO YEARS. Now that's a tough first batch to get through.

 

I ask my wife if she is going to moan all night?
She tells me that I've been on the hombrew and couldn't do the necessary !

 

This is what I do in between. When I'm not making my own beer, I am rolling my own bullets and hitting the range! I also find that keeping a day to day fermentation log makes it go by faster.

I try and pretend my sours don't exist

 

Also regarding Doctor Who, wouldn't brewing with the Tardis be a gas? Go back in time 6-8 weeks. Mash, boil, cool, pitch. Move forward a few weeks and bottle, come back to the present time and pop a cold one, all in ONE day :rockin:

 

Here are the 2 crates I made...now I'm back to waiting!!LOL

 

Oooh theyre beautiful. How long and how much $$ did you spend on it?

Thanks

I probably bought $25 worth of wood....there is 4 different types of wood used but I still have some pieces left over.

Took maybe 3 hours give or take a little. I enjoy making saw dust!! LOL
