We should have known that asbestos, miracle product that it was, had a downside. But back in the day, if you had welding/cutting/gouging slag directed your way, you could take an asbestos fire blanket and make a poncho out of it. Way better than leather sleeves, except for the fact that it might...

A shack with a tee box, that's cool!

I do a brew in the bag, no sparge mash. I need a finer crush or I lose efficiency. And it only takes a few minutes to run it through my Corona mill so it's not that big of a deal.

A Belgian triple with Brett added at bottling.

I took about 20 years off myself, I can relate. But I'm happy to be back in the game.

Tuesday I had my first golf lesson since I started playing again. The guy knows his stuff and had me hitting better shots in just a few mnutes. A couple of easy changes in my setup and a downswing move that will get me more open at impact. Here's hoping it only takes 10,000 or so shots to...

Sure seems like a strange comment from Wyeast. Maybe the rep just didn't want to be bothered. That aside, I've never looked for or expected much yeast expression from Wyeast 3787, especially in a Belgian dark strong. If you are looking for more, the only thing I can think of is to let the...

WTF? So he fired multiple times without a target to aim at, apparently in pure panic mode. He needs to turn in his badge. BTW, I lived in Okaloosa county for about 15 years (in the last century) and the local law enforcement impressed me as more professional than most fwiw.

That would work, especially if your first beer's original gravity is not too high, but I'd rather overbuild a starter and save some of that yeast. Alternatively, 3787 is a top cropping yeast and you could harvest fresh krausen from the first batch if your risk tolerance and fermenter allow you...

Dear guy in the Carhartt overalls, You should be a character actor on the big screen, not sitting around in the doctor's waiting room. And if you begin a story with "My first snake bite was a copperhead", please stay on topic and tell us about your other snake bite(s). I've been wondering all...

Recently I decided to try a few different primary yeasts with brett. including Omega Belgian Ale A and Lallemand Abbaye. Too soon to judge, really, but the Omega yeast is showing promise two months after brew day. BTW, is anybody else using SafBrew BR-8, the dry brett yeast? I have four small...

I quit using Northern Brewer because it would take them weeks sometimes to deliver and their minimum for free shipping is not competitive with, say, Morebeer. Having said that, I recently (and reluctantly) placed an order (for a hard to find item) with them that was filled satisfactorily. Now...

And everybody was a stock market genius.

"Amber alerts" at one place I worked. Nice enough lady, and not unattractive, but sometimes there's a job to do.

What would Freud say?

Excellent video about measuring the golf swing. EDIT: It should go without saying that the founder of Gears, Michael Nuff, knows a thing or two about the golf swing.

My wife's lentil soup, with hot sauce, Sam's cilantro sauce and avocado chunks added. (And rice, of course.)

Lentil soup is a stable at our house. My last batch, made a few days ago, I threw in baby spinach along with the rest of ingredients, lentils, onions, carrots, okra (yes, okra), water and spices. Served with cilantro sauce and hot sauce. My wife has a more dedicated recipe but I tend to throw...

I hit plenty of balls, but I'm overdue for a lesson. I don't want to groove whatever swing flaws I have. Funny you mention setup, since that's one thing that's been more of a focus for me lately. Like any sport, it's all (or at least 99%) about the fundamentals.

That's are really nice photo. We are enjoying the autumn weather here too. 94F and low humidity feels rather pleasant after the record breaking summer.
