A pound of Citra, a pound of Bravo, and a Bluetooth speaker for my brew stand. The sound isn't as good as the computer speakers and subwoofer that I had on there before, but takes up a lot less space.

Bottled an Irish Red that I brewed four weeks ago. I've been getting a bit complacent, hence the lag time. I'm glad I did though, as it is outstanding even when warm and uncarbonated. I did that while brewing a batch of an IPA that a couple of people who I shared it with have been asking about...

In the garage brewing an Irish red with 10% rye while experimenting with blending an overcarbed Maris Otter/Azacca SMaSH with an undercarbed bitter. The brew is my first with my new brew bag and is going exactly according to plan, which is scaring the hell out of me. The bag is great quality...

I've had a couple that I thought failed to start, as I'm used to that great bubbling of the s-locks by the end of day 2. Yet a quick check showed them dry as a bone. I figured I must be buying the yeast equipped with teleporters, sending the sugars off to the homeworld or something. No issues...

Built the platforms for my brew stand, but ran out of wood for the uprights so will finish it tomorrow. Got the propane tank and gave the burner a test drive; holy smokes does that sucker let out some heat. Gave the kettle and the chiller a soapy boil to clean off any leftover manufacturing...

I've got the bill ready for a six gallon bitter that was originally planned as a 3.4 gallon SMaSH Maris Otter and El Dorado until I was informed by a couple of people that El Dorado leans heavily toward watermelon candy, which killed any urge I have to even open the bag. So I'm throwing in a bit...

I'm about to have my first outdoor brew this weekend. On one hand, I'm dreading it because being outside in Florida sucks most heinously, so the suckage will scale linearly with the length of the brew day. But on the other hand: SO MUCH ROOM FOR ACTIVITIES. And not worrying about spills. And...

A 15-gallon Spike kettle, a 22-inch whisk, and a pair of Doc Marten 1460s. It's a good day. :D

Brewed an IPA yesterday to celebrate the recent hops delivery. It's the little things in life. Also felt like having a farewell brew in the kitchen. Should be my last electric stove brew since my new burner showed up yesterday, and the kettle and immersion cooler are both scheduled to arrive...
