Bugger the beer gods are a fickle bunch. I had a well pretty good gusher infection going on for awhile a bit ago. The light beers after burping many times before serving turned out right nice might I say downright good while the darker beers were well ummm ok not so good might be a kind thing to...

I know how you feel man. Just getting to where I can brew again after a little issue with my knee. Hurts to do to much but dang a couch for months on end can drive a guy crazy.

I think I got the same hop plant. Been throwing a handful of hops in every batch and not had any bad effects....yet:p

I have never chucked a beer yet nor will I think I will have to. I have had some righteous mistakes and it still turned out pretty good. Relax in the knowledge that you have made beer:tank:

And I am brewing again:mug: Racked last weeks beer and am filling the lovely vessel where those fornicating yeasties get down with their bad selves again. You see I feel that I should help the wild kingdom and provide sanctuary for billions of special critturs:D Man it feels good to be able...

Hehe I am Mormon....Well born Mormon and raised that way. Send the card man and they will enjoy it as they celebrate Christmas. Heck I will wish everyone here a early Christmas cheer or whatever you wish for and I do not believe in a god. I do believe in the good in other people and would not...

As long as the action will work with the new chambering the sky is the limit. I have a weatherby action that someday I am going to put a nice heavy 6.5-284 barrel on and perhaps start shooting in some competitions. But for now if I rifle my 22-250 at 1 in 7 I can shoot heavy enough bullets...

Got my brew done the other night and it is bubbling away happily now. I am thinking I had better brew once a week now for a bit to get my pipeline back into shape. Being laid up has kind of been a pain in the butt. I re barreled my .270 back into a elk gun but can not hunt. I know kind of a...

Dan I guess I have pulled trailers enough that even when I am not pulling one I use the transmission to slow down if I can. It drives my wife nuts pretty much but heck man brakes are a pain in the butt to replace.

Hey PD. I think I am doing fine now or as good as I am going to get anyway. I had some issues with infections and the Dr's want to replace my knee but as of now I am just saying no. I get around pretty good with a brace on so why go through the crap all over again. Sigh I had just bought 3...

Sweet looking storm. I think some bigwig from the county moved in somewhere near me now since I get my road plowed pretty quick. Used to take them days but now it seems same day I get plowed out. Enjoy the storm:mug:

I did not get to go camping but once this year:mad: But even then any temp that cold is just to cold even with a heater in the trailer. Just started my mash and I have to say it smells like heaven. I can hardly wait to dump the hops and get that blast of hop smell:mug: Been planning this for...

Sigh my years of sleeping on the ground are long gone now. But I have been known to horse my trailer into some rather remote spots. And as a bonus I can keep the beer much colder with my camper for much longer:rockin: Last night it was -4 and then there was some wind but I have no clue what...

Wow Lab rat that looks beyond awesome. I do love getting out and enjoying nature.

Not far from you. Weird huh how in the West folks who live within a couple hundred miles "aren't to far" while in a big city 20 blocks is a far piece:cross:
