But it is Generator season, which is like the next best thing!

What did your early father do?

Reading some folks posts is like picking up Clockwork Orange all over again. I can easily read all the words, but as a sentence, I've only got the gist of an implication.

Planted a few years ago when things were a bit more affordable - fortunately. In garden news, the weeds got knocked down to ankle height so the veggies could thrive again. It's been a few years since a weedwhacker was necessary. Got our first thinning crop of Turnips out.

Man, I gotta find some pictures on the computer from our project. About 10 years ago we bought a tear-down ready 1900s farmhouse and gutted it instead. The only thing we paid a professional for was a drilled well to replace the sandpoint in the basement. It's certainly one of those...

I've learned that somehow when I have the smallest selection of beers waiting is the time that all four taps will blow within days of each other.

Racked my melter honey/cheater bochet over to bulk aging, and brewed up a 5 gal batch of Wee Heavy Braggot. Apologies to the brew club, as I've only got a month to turn around this 1.100 OG Big Boi for them.

Just watched "Ready Player One". The fact there is no Easter egg in the credits is peak irony.

That's a bummer to hear! I don't know what it is about peaches, but they are a struggle to not come out sulfury/funky. Have you tried just fermenting the juice (either steam juicer or freeze+squeeze)? With apples, I find that fermenting on the peel, but not the pulp, ups the flavor without...

For your silicone lines, don't be afraid to try either a 10% bleach solution or a hydrogen peroxide soak. For whatever reason, PBW seems to be poor at removing staining. My brew bags have been the greatest tattletails to this shortcoming.
