This post is so full of win. Whodini AND California Coolers.

In a word, no. That simple. Unless the hydrometer is resting on a bunch of it, that is. :)

Lazy Sunday so far despite the time change. Drinking some dark roast black coffee and reading back issues of Zymurgy on the iPad (great app btw). Need to bottle a full 5 gals of Coffee Stout today. I wouldn't be dreading this so much if I just got into kegging. But it's the journey, right...

Very far from the MDL but right next to you in KY....and dealing with 17" of snow that we can't really handle down here. :) Good thing for me that I'm already an indoor brewer. EDIT: Scratch that. Looks like Hammond, IN is basically a Chicago suburb so I am waaaayyyyy away from you.

:off: I totally had to go googling on this one. I thought it might be an abbreviation for something else. Interesting Scandinavian background on this expression. #knowingishalfthebattle

Here are my thoughts on this: I really, really hate you right now. No, I really, really, really, truly and completely hate you right now. :D ....never been fortunate enough to find one of these unicorns.

I call that a GREAT FRIDAY. Cheers.

Re-ignited and it feels so good....Re-ignited and it's understood. Wait...that's not right. ;)

It can take 2 to 3 weeks for beer to carb. I've seen it happen first hand...even at 70ºF. This hobby sucks for anyone with zero patience (like me). I'm learning to chill and relax. :)

Malted Barley {BOOOOOM!!!!!} ;)
