That might be bacteria, etc. from the air settling in rather than the old yeast. Starting over sounds like the way to go.

I was trying to think of what to read next and it occurred to me that I never finished "His Excellency" by Joseph Ellis. It's a very well done bio of George Washington. I put it aside many years ago, so I'm starting over. If you want a really good Revolutionary War book, the same author won...

Sounds like a good plan. I don't see any problems.

Distracted like? But seriously - you might be able to make a concentrated extract and water mixture, boil it long enough to sterilize it and then add that to the fermenter. (Might have to take some liquid out first.) right now there ain't nothin' to ferment in there.

Wait - what actually made it into the boil kettle? Just steeped grains and hops?

This is next on my list. A definite favorite.

He's not exactly Mr. Safety either.

Looks rare to me. Ba-dum-tsssssss ...

Hefeweizen. After monkeying around with the recipe over the last couple summers, it's back to basics - 70/30 white wheat and pilsner and I'm not messing around with decoction mashing again. It's a little later in the season than I usually make one of these, but I figure I can go grain to...

I suppose that was your accomplice in the wood chipper ...

Found a Mark Bittman recipe that called for fresh cherry tomatoes (which I have in abundance right now) and bacon. Sold. https://nytimes.com/2002/06/05/dining/the-minimalist-a-fish-that-takes-to-grilling.html I got bacon from the neighborhood butcher and it was pretty thick. When the fish...

Recently at a church function, a friend of my 12 year old niece asked me: "Is your name Bob?" "Nope, it's Jon." "You look like a Bob."

Anyone else read that linked post in Jacques' voice? I picked up his memoir to read on a flight recently. (Highly recommended, btw) and he told an anecdote of his first screen test for TV. Producer said "Love the accent." He jokingly replied "Me? An accent?"

I had to run an errand that took me right by a great fish market, so I stopped in. They had monkfish for a pretty reasonable price, so I grabbed a 3/4 lb piece. Now I'm not sure what to do with it, so I thought I'd check with the pros. I'd like to grill it. My gut tells me to cut it into...

Just thought of some more: Van Halen - 1984 Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine Jesus & Mary Chain - Automatic

First sweet corn of the year. Served with garlicky shrimp.

... am very reluctant to Google "Captain Dildo" but really want to see what he/she/it looks like.

I've always thought a sign of a good record is one you bought on cassette then bought again on CD, or maybe you had it on vinyl and later got it on cassette or CD or maybe all three. What are yours? Mine are: Guns n Roses - Appetite for Destruction Paul Simon - Graceland U2 - Achtung, Baby...

Looks like the post-zombie Michael Jackson in the Thriller video.
