Congrats! Between the no boil brewing and kegging, you'll be drinking beer in less time than it takes to clean dag digestive explosions off the floor!

Thanks. I'm really excited and kind of nervous. Freaked out trying to use my picnic tap as it was... this will really encourage me to brew a lot more though. I hate bottling 60+ beers at a time. This will help.
 
No. Cigar International. I am going to look at Cigar bid...but I'm told you will have a basement full of cigars if you go there...which may mean a house devoid of a wife. Risky.

I've been trying to walk the line on that as well. Wife puts up with my beer spending, throwing stogies on it as well? Heh. $5/stick is about as much as I've been doing so far. Don't see how people do $20 sticks.

I think this stash averaged about $3/smoke for smokes that, if bought as singles around here, would be $8-$10 each. I always buy online and in quantities of 20 or more.

You can get some cigars for cheap. I usually just buy them smoke. I got a few of my high ends at my brother in laws house. I plan to build a humidor. I have an old Mail box lock from my grandfather I'll like to use for it.

Going to head to a new brewery tonight to check it out.
 
Also @rhetorik ... give it another 4-5 days, but you might be done man. Post up your grain bill and we might be able to help out.

Yeah, I'll check it again Sunday. It'd suck if it's finished. Not sure why it'd be so high. Everything was calculated with Beersmith; I've attached a quick brewer's friend link which has the details but temps/volumes etc were all from beersmith.

Ignore the water profile. I had it at roughly Ca=105, Mg=18, Na=16, Cl=50, S04=175

I just have two cheapie 30 cigar boxes that I got for free with orders. I keep one in the basement and one in the RV. I'm not fancy.
 
Lol. Won't tell you how bloody long it took me to come up with that. Google was no help.






Yep. Stools too but no CAD shayze

Park but no beer

Looks a lot like my niece (albeit my niece is younger).

That sucks @1977brewer

It's Friday. Tapped the one big pin of WGV Bitter (I'm retiring the 1 gallon pins, the bigger ones are so much easier to work with). This is my new "play with new-to-me English hop" Bitter grain bill (85% Maris Otter, 6.5% UK Crystal 77L, and 8.5% Invert #2). Whitbread Goldings are a winner. Whole thing is spot on, 9°P to 2°P, 3.6-3.7% ABV depending on who's formula you use, 43 IBUs. On the hop forward side of a bitter for sure, but balance is awesome.

Then working to kill the last of the Bramling Cross bitter. Except for the bottled part. Which is mostly for comps. But I think the WGV Bitter is going to take its place, because it's better. No pic of the BX Bitter because I'm lazy. Got maybe a half a pint before I start pulling sediment left anyway.
