PBR for cheap beer. For a medium cheap beer- Peter’s Brand Dutch Lager from Trader Joe’s. That’s actually my favorite camping/fishing beer.

Wholly cow, she's funny!

Yup. My Anvil (120v) is painfully slow so spargimg the night before means I can program it to boil when I wake up. I also put the grain basket in a bucket and in the morning it’s nice and cool so I can dump in the compost.

It looks like a good plan. However, in the future you could mash and sparge in the evening, then set your equipment to boil in the morning. I do all my batches this way as it allows for more time w family. I have an Anvil Foundry and my wort sits overnight at usually 140f. I may have to top...

Ok I have a packet coming in the mail. Thanks @passedpawn I’ll probably add it to the keg for an upcoming session IPA. Unless I hear of a better time to add the PGA.

Looks great! I recently came across a YT short of a guy making something similar. Very impressive.

The other night I found myself flying solo. Grilled burger ( home ground brisket), green chile, cheese and guac.

I don’t know but I’d give them a call. The few times I’ve ordered from them they were great. I had some random tubing size questions and they were very helpful.

Easiest dessert ever. Crème de brûlée mangos. Actually there’s no crème but the kids love it and it takes all of 30 seconds to make.

I used this recipe but most are very similar. https://onehappybite.com/salmon-sushi-bake-viral-recipe/

Made salmon sushi bake for dinner to use up some freezer stuff. Came out really good. Even the kiddo liked it.

I don’t think I’d use any grocery store apples for cider. This time of year, the apples you’d find at the store will have come from cold storage. This process involves gassing them w ethylene, nitrogen etc. There are really good single variety juices available at many stores, Fuji, honey crisp...

Dear YouTube Algorithm, I have neve been to a rodeo. I have never been to Germany. Why do you keep suggesting channels that display young German women in short dressses riding on top of mechanical bulls? Ok, ok so maaaaybe I clicked on it once or twice, but only out of concern for the bull’s...

Basic egg, ham and cheese breakfast sandwich on focaccia. Except with a special guest- morels, purchased at our farmers market. Can we all agree to halt space exploration, ocean studies and environmental projects and focus all of our energy into commercially farming morel mushrooms?

Mcmenamins are cool just to hang out and kill some time, especially if you’re in a group. Decent burgers and cool stuff to see. Agreed- The Kennedy School is my fave. I spent many evenings, years ago, in the principal’s office getting hammered. Portland also has lots of Brew n View theaters...

First time making birria ramen. Won’t be the last. Similar taste profile to posole. Soup meals are severely underrated. Oh yeah, and easy too. I used leftover birria meat and broth and a few packs of cheap ramen (sans the flavor packet).

I noticed their dark mild by Machine House Brewery. I’ve never tried it but I’ve heard good things about it.

The Horse Brass Saloon is the old school choice. According to their website they have five cask beers! It’s been a few years since I’ve been but I’m thinking a trip there is in my future. https://horsebrass.com/beer/

I’ll second Breakside. They do a good job on a wide array of styles. Wayfinder is pretty good as well. There are a ton of other great breweries here, I’d look at what’s in the neighborhood of where you’ll be staying. If you’re into British beer, there’s a grip of places that serve from cask.

No pics to share but this week I’ll have a chance to do some needed maintenance on my 16’ fishing boat. I’ll probably start the motors, give her a bath, check trailer bearings etc. Many of the mountain lakes around here are still closed from the winter. Hopefully get a lot of Kokanee blood on...
