I haven't bottled anything in a while, but I was looking at some of the labels I created and found this one, which should get bottled again sometime in July.

Brewery X Citra Loves Nelson. I bought this when it first came out and they had a Shel Silverstein "The Giving Tree" label. It's different now, I wonder if they hit for copyright infringement? Tasty beer, no matter how you wrap it.

Making a Maris Otter-Centennial SMaSH. Hopefully get around to moving some kegs around so I can start pouring the Guava Saison and the Pear Agave Cider.

*cough, cough, cough* um, two times that?

Post-Costco celebratory beverage. “I survived the lines (and the parking lot)!

Done driving for the day, now for the Q!

Refilled the sparkling mineral water kegs, prepped water and grain for a Maris Otter-Centennial SMaSH tomorrow, and set up a starter of London Dry on the stir plate.

Still on H2O, as I need to drop off Daughter #1 at LAX for her two weeks visiting family in Europe with Daughter #2 (who's already there doing the archaeology thing in Transylvania). But when I get back, there will be beer! Happy 4th!

CO2 1-20# on the Kegerator 1-10# on the keezer 1-5# sitting on a shelf yelling, "Put me in coach!"

I was and (probably) will be again, a chef. I love playing with ingredients in beer; some days, it's like a mystery box (or walk-in clear-out special of the day). I recommend, if you have not already done so, reading the free PDF of Palmer's "How to Brew." The 4th edition is great, but the...

You could mix it with FAJC and make Peach Cider.

One just wasn’t enough.

Just got done checking out the retreat site where I will be a week-long cooking fool for about 70 of my students, end of July. Days like this remind me that a brewpub can be a retirement plan. Now that I’m off the LA freeways, this:

I also started with the Biermuncher, then moved to a Beergun, and now also have a Tapcooler. If the kegs are in my keezer, which uses picnic taps, I usually just do the Biermuncher rather than setting up the Beergun. If the kegs are in the kegerator, which has actual taps, the Tapcooler is...

We all do stuff, enjoy. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/dont-do-that.527228/

If no one else claims it, bring it with you and I’ll take it. Do you do PayPal or Zelle? Just in case it’s still available.

Listening to kids play in the sprinklers, hummingbirds fight over the feeder, some nice tunes...almost time to fire up the grill. This is #2, I think there are a few more in my future.

No chance you make it to the LA area anytime, is there?

I boil the rice in more water than is required if it were going to be eaten, making sure that it is fully cooked. I like to use whole brown rice because it adds layers of flavor that hulled rice doesn't, but it's not to everyone's taste. When all the grains have gone boom, ~45 min or so, I can...

I currently have 8 varieties and I was worried about when they would sprout up; I thought some were dead (both last year and this year). I was wrong this year (last year I replaced only 1), it's just differences in the plant. The NeoMex is almost 6', but it is shaded by a 10' tall cherry...
