Toto. Africa. Because hey, it's Christmas Eve in Ghana.

You'd be surprised at what I've seen people fit in an overhead bin. 55 gallon drum is no problem. Gotta remove legs first though.

I made a 1.5 / 1.030 DME starter. Used my temp controlled Conical at 67F for 28 days or so. It's sour-ish, but not super sour. I think the Lacto in the blend is a tad slow.. Might try the pitch lacto post boil, then sach yeast after it's gotten a bit sour.

+6.5 gallons of Ich bin Ein Berliner Weiss 11,921

Bottled my Berliner Weiss into 32 Belgian bottles. Then moved the corker back to storage and cleaned the fermenters out.

Tasted it. It had the right flavor, but the mouthfeel was a tad thin, but that is a common issue with Gluten Free stuff. The 4 gallons that aged on berries and had bugs was too tart for my wife's taste, so that's why I back blended with the 2 gallons for sacch fermented base beer.

I have stick welded aluminum of Peterbilt semi truck cabs. Model 352 cabovers were pretty well known for cracking in a couple spots in the doghouse.. Required pre-heat, and it's not the sort of welding you'd do unless you are really comfortable with welding steel with a stick. Flux is kinda...

Blended and bottled today. 3.90 pH after blending 4:2 with the base beer without bugs/fruit. 1.000 fg

This isn't mine, but this is the model I have. It weighs about 850 pounds.

I have a TIG welder in my shop. I'm decent with it. Downside, I'm in VA for now. My biggest reccomendation is to NOT buy HF for a TIG. By the time you fix all the gotcha's and blow out some expensive stuff you are at what a good Lincoln would cost you...

Last few nights, it has been the following on a loop. The Christmas Can-Can Mr. Grinch The Twelve Pains of Christmas I have an animated light display in my front yard, and my desktop is the control/music source for it, so when they are running, that's the audio on it. I keep the speakers up...

Assembled my Ferrari. Hey, the bottle corker for the "Lambic" and Berliner Wiesse is made by them. Say so on the box.

Another day of explaining Cranberry harvesting to people when they make fun of Ocean Spray commercials and my wife points out that I worked in the bogs from age 2-24. Even more fun because the Thanksgiving roster is usually a crazy mix of my Navy/Marine friends, a random airline pilot or two...

Went to LHBS and bought ingredients for a Berliner Wiesse. Bought 4 cases of Belgian Bottles, Corks and a Corker for bottling a batch of Lambic.

Chix Beach Mad Science Labs I was at one point in my career, essentially a paid mad scientist. Also, my neighbor called the cops one day I was brewing, because she thought I was running a meth lab. I live in what most call Chix Beach. My anal retentive real estate agent wife corrects...

Yeah. It was nice. We stay at the Park Plaza, I'm usually on a quick turn so it's go to hotel, change clothes, eat, go to bed. It was close enough to walk in 10 minutes or less. Not a lot of cheap/quick places in the immediate area.

Of course they'd close the one at the Transportation building. That was the only one in walking distance of the layover hotel we use in Boston.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!
