    I just realized post count only shows up on mobile. But probably yes.

    You know you're a home brewer when?

    You know you're a homebrewer when you watch a bunch of other homebrewers argue about who's more of a homebrewer.

    Adoption Question

    They were Customs & Immigration (aka Federal) employees, so no affiliation with the adoption agency. Funny thing was, the first time we had to get fingerprinted for the FBI, we had to go over to this little Kinko's-type print shop in Uptown Cincinnati, and that guy got a clean set of prints with...

    Adoption Question

    The fingerprinting appointment yesterday went less than stellar. Well, mine was fine, but my wife had all kinds of issues. They had two techs (or whatever you want to call them) doing the screening, a man and a woman. My wife got called back first, and went to the woman's workstation. From the...

    Don't trust that one, he's a werewolf TBH.

    What'd I miss and why do we have ads on the app now?

    Adoption Question

    We'll be traveling to Luoyang to get him, which--by China standards--isn't all that far away from you. But from the sound of it, we'll be in a group with other adoptive couples and guides/translators, so even our sightseeing will likely be done on a schedule. I'm not sure we'd have any...

    Adoption Question

    Things are oddly calm, as most of the paperwork is out of our hands for the moment. We got one whole set of documents notarized, authenticated at county, state, and federal levels, and bound for the dossier. The I-800A (immigration) form has been reviewed by Homeland Security, and we go get...

    Worst Commercial Beer You've Ever Had?

    I drank quite a bit of that on vacation, and I'm not even a huge fan of witbiers. Could it have been sitting out in the heat too long?

    Most annoying response when you tell someone you're a homebrewer?

    I have one friend who is notorious about not returning bottles. I've told him I'll share as much as he wants over at my house (or if I bring it to a party), but he can't take it with him.

    Saison Permanent Saturday - Saison

    Yes, add at 15 minutes from the end of the boil. It helps keep the extract from darkening too much over the course of the boil, and cuts down on the infamous "extract twang" IMHO.

    Saison Permanent Saturday - Saison

    A slight variation of this (bittering with 1/2 oz. of Nelson and using a yeast blend of WLP565 and Belle Saison) won 3rd place for Belgian Strong Ale at the 2016 Bluegrass Cup. I actually preferred the yeast profile of the 1st version, but I'm not complaining!

    I can't get my wife to go camping at all. She isn't even a girly girl, but sleeping somewhere without a mattress, fan, and indoor plumbing is just too much to ask. And we don't really need an RV.

    Video Games

    I've been enjoying it so far. The campaign feels like a faithful update of the original with tons of secrets and Easter eggs, and some platforming elements thrown in. The maps are mostly linear, but that was always the case. The map creator feature has some fun public maps available. I haven't...

    Adoption Question

    Oh, they're old-fashioned for sure. I do think once we physically have the child (any child) in our possession, the overwhelming sentiment of "D'AWWW BABBY" will take over, and they'll warm up. For comparison, they got freaked out when we picked up our part-Pitbull mutt, until they actually...

    Adoption Question

    Thanks all for your responses! Things have been moving very quickly lately. After consulting with an international adoption clinic and an oculoplastic surgeon, we have a reasonably good idea of where he stands developmentally. The clinic looked over his limited medical records and the...
