Just doughed in, check in around 8 when I start pulling the first runnings.

Nailed my mash temp, sacch rest is going now.
 
Thanks for trying - I still learned a bunch just for the mash. I appreciate you taking the trouble to do the brewcast & explain your processes - seeing it & getting the explanation is a ton of help for a guy like me who's planning to do AG soon.
 
I'm about 20 minutes into the boil (60 minute addition), smells wonderful.

Stupid Mogulus. :mad:

Oh well, there will be many others for sure. Hopefully I can unveil the new kettle and March pump for the next one. :D
 
how am i going to pepper you with n00b questions now? I even volunteered to get up with the dog so i could watch, granted i forgot about it until just now, but i still made the effort.
 
Yeast pitched and everything cleaned up. Done by 11 am. Time for a quick nap then it's time to bloody some noses on the rugby pitch.

It's a good day, yes it is. :D

Indeed!

jds played #5 Lock in his college rugby club. Good times, even with the broken ribs. The smell of vaseline and electrical tape takes me right back.

#2 Hooker, sometimes #7 Flanker here. :rockin:

I cracked two ribs last season, not to mention the broken fingers and occasional blackeye.

Still, nothing makes a Saturday afternoon like a hard-fought match on the pitch. We all know that Saturday is Rugby Day.

Yeah, I’m just jealous. Too old to think about a sport where there’s a good chance of broken bones. So, how’d it go? As good as the morning brew? Weather was perfect for an afternoon workout.

It was a great scrimmage against the local college team; even though it didn't 'count', that never stops the Roses from playing hard for 80 minutes. Hard rucking, clean tackles, smooth game play. Only one injury (bruised sternum- NOT ME!)- kid's out for six weeks while it heals up.

I'm sore as hell today, but I love it.

Sounds like a perfect day, actually. Brewing, rugby, drinking a couple. Now, you have Sunday to do the "honey do's" and rest up for Monday.

I have hockey tonight, and I'm racking a few wines, and making some cheese today. I love weekends!

I need to make some more cheese, next weekend perhaps. I have the stuff to do a farmhouse cheddar, just need to set aside the time to do it.

Surprisingly, the 'honey do' list is rather short, so I'll spend the afternoon curled up with a good book and a cup of tea, after I work the kinks out with a trip to the gym.
