Agreed. My son, who I can't get out of bed with a crow bar during the week, is up at 6:30 today making a racket in the kitchen.

Daughter woke me up with kisses at 515 telling me she missed me. I tucked her in at bed time last night too. How do you say no to that???

 

[ChefRex]

Reread his post, wife at work, sex by ones self isn't all that lucky.

Notice, he also said the following.

Luck? I make my own luck.

 

[iijakii]

Lol. Was before work. Or is this where I say a fin's mom joke? (backstory btw?)

 

[iijakii]

Alright, conical and two kegs cleaned. Off to let old people touch my dag and then it's about brew time. Probably go ahead and keg the brown porter from last weekend, too.

 

[Ridire]

Waiting for strike water to cool a few degrees before mashing in. Oh boy, it's been so long!

Home form the races, son took 3rd, and his would be car was raced in the adult run and took 1st.

This is our first year participating in Pinewood and the adults got into it more than the scouts. There was a guy whom was generally pissed that he did not win the adult bracket, which is just for fun. Some people.

 

[Ridire]

Boom! Shooting for mash temp if 151...in at 150.8. Time for the cigar.

Cool. We took a first place trophy our first derby. Boy is no longer into scouts.

Friendly Saturday to y'all.

 

[Ridire]

Hey, Fins, at that fancy "pro-fessional" brewery of yours, do they take temp readings with a cigar ash dangling precariously over the HLT? Didn't think so...

[drainbamage]

At Maker's Mark, awaiting samples. Maybe I'll ask if they do an inline decoction for their mash.

[Hello]

Coke zero.
Thinking I may drink some Game of Thrones beer today. I am going to venture out, rather my friend is going to drive me, to get my broken laptop and something to eat. I'm watching Game of Thrones feeling like I want a beer. Maybe things are looking up...I didn't feel like I was going to faint in the shower. That was a plus.

@ridire how long has it been since you brewed?

 

[Gavin C]

You don't boil it? I assumed the word "no" followed by the word "boil" was pretty self-explanatory.
My last sour was no boil, actually.

So was Owly's

Welp... Finally got some beer and whatnot. Going back later. Zoo time. Wee.

Just back from the zoo. Fun

Tortelini, buffalo chicken pizza and beer now. Flock I do love the weekend.

 

[geoffey]

Errands ran, mashed in. Now just sitting around trying not to get drunk before I start the mash...

 

[Qhrumphf]

Of course I'm way, way behind. Time to clean house a bit, hit the gym, cask my WGV Bitter, and then brew up a Wheat Dark Mild (English IPA tomorrow).

Bluebird earlier. Landlord now. No pics because lazy.

I don't think I've brewed since June-July. Longest stretch since I started.

 

[MaddBaggins]

My first beer as a pro is being released tonight. Citra SMASH. 6.5% abv 79 ibu.
I'm pretty excited, so there's that.

Nice! Where at?

 

[iijakii]

ALright lunch and then brew time I guess. Well, probably should make the recipe first. Probably.

 

[iijakii]

Actually, I can DEM in my sleep nyukkuhs

What kind of DEM are you making? What yeast are you using BTW. I followed @Qhrumphf 's lead and have 1469. Really happy with how it turned out.

My FIL was very sad to hear of the demise of my DEM. I'm down to 2gallons of Alt and a little Apfelwein in the keg. (not sure how much)

Last night my 1 BA Legion put me on my ear. Barely finished it before bed.

Going to keg my Pils next. 14days since brew. It's at 1.009 and 31F.

Jealous of you folks brewing this weekend. Bumped my brewday till next week.

I'm making one with brown malt in it this time. Probably just do my previous recipe but reduce pale choc and biscuit, add brown.

I use 1318 cause I was getting it for free from HUB. New brewpub next to my house uses yorkshire, I think that's 1469? Whenever I get some slurry from them Ill probably do a 10gal batch and split and see which I like more. 15gal of DEM in a few weeks? sign me up.
