Modelo while waiting for the end of the boil. Brewing a Mosaic SMaSH.

Went to the LHBS and got the ingredients for a Mosaic SMaSH. Brewing tomorrow.

It’s Friday, it’s noon, so it’s the weekend. Time for a beer. I’m out of HB in the city so I’m drinking what’s on sale. 9 bucks for a sixer. Not a bad WCIPA. I’m gonna hit the LHBS this afternoon to pick up ingredients to brew tomorrow.

Earlier, at our daughter’s house, a couple of these. Now, a Canadian nightcap.

HB CCC Blonde

Bone Dust Wheat Ale from Bridger Brewing in Bozeman. They call it a wheat ale but it’s a Wit; the description includes coriander, white pepper, and orange peel. Pretty good. I think this is what Blue Moon wants to be when it grows up. 😎

By moving the green, two story, “tower of power” stove/oven combo a few inches to the left I could use the old fridge door as part of a door to the storage area to the right of the stove. The wall is unfinished (it’s load bearing) but putting the fridge door next to the stove would be a way to...

As someone who is a former pro mechanic, and has serviced/maintained/modified a fleet of farm equipment and vehicles for 48 years, I have the skills and equipment to repair the old fridge. At this point, convenience is more important than reviving the old unit. We already spend about half our...

I had to say goodbye to my 1963 GE kegerator. It’s 61 yo compressor no longer compresses. It was free when I got it, 11 years ago. Everything but the sticker collection is transferable to another fridge, and I have a source for slightly used appliances, which are also free, so it won’t be the...

You might want to try that name out on a non-homebrewing focus group. Just sayin’…😉

First full pour of the Leftovers Amber I kegged on Tuesday. For a “using up a little of this and a little of that” recipe this ain’t bad. 5.75%, 24 IBU, 13 SRM. I don’t know that I’d brew this again on purpose but it’s a pretty respectable beer.

J J Blonde after kegging an Amber Ale.

I need to rummage through the fridge to see if I have any tonic water. I have Bombay gin, but I’m a Robert Earl Keen fan. “They got a motel by the water and a quart of Bombay gin…”

Kegged an Amber Ale, sort of a “clean out the cupboard” recipe, that I brewed about 3 weeks ago. The sample tasted pretty good.
