Getting stuff around right now for tonight's brew. Well, actually eating dinner then finishing prep.

A slightly modified SWMBO Slayer.

I liked it. Mine was two years old though. I saved it to drink while I brewed my 40th birthday beer. No idea what it tastes like younger though, as thats the only time I've had it.

Can't say about the sight glass, but I have a similar valve on my kettle and I've never shielded it. After 30+ brews there is no damage/melting.

Brewed a Belgian Strong tonight. Drank my last bottle of a two year old Tripel.

Old Black Sabbath if I actually pick it. Usually either the local rock station or NPR.

I work nights, too, and get home about 7 am. First thing I do Friday mornings is pour a beer. The wife and kids definitely thought it was weird at first. Me drinking while they got ready for work/school. My wife said something about it, but when I explained that because of my schedule it was...

This is great. Now, anyway. Tomorrow, I will think it 's a really bad thing.:cross:

Brewed this tonight. Looking forward to drinking it.

The one my friend has shuts off every 20 minutes ( IIRC ). Kind of a pain, but easy enough to deal with.

Always like to see craft brewers get mentioned on a show like Today. Might just entice some BMC drinkers to try something different once in a while.

Didn't brew this weekend, but did keg a Tripple and a Pumpkin Spice, then secondaried an Irish Red.

The text response said to get them in by 10/31, so you should be good.

Both of my LHBS's are attached to actual breweries ( Bell's and Darkhorse ) so i usually get good info when I need it. I'm in there often enough to know which employees know their stuff and which are just there for the job. Even so, I rarely have questions any way. Not that I know everything...

Would have to say that Blue Moon is mine. Though it's not really bad or especially cheap. Closest thing to a macro I drink, and I drink it by choice often.

Guess I've been lucky. The only two other people's homebrew I've had are the friend I brew with ( and we are both more prone to criticize our own if they aren't good ) and a friends dad who has been brewing for years and makes some truly excellent beer. I can see the dilemma though.

I toasted and steeped a 1/2 lbs. of two row for the Irish Red in Papazian's book. It worked out great. You could really taste the toastiness when it was secondaried, but just a hint of it a month later when I kegged it. Very good beer.

I got bored with kits fairly early on, and have been experimenting more with other peoples recipes lately. I really like to brew with ingredients I get from friends and family. Fresh Blueberries from a friends farm, tart cherries from my parents trees, whole hops from my brothers garden, etc...
