This is more of a rant than anything else.
I'm now working from home, 4 hrs on friday. This is a good thing.
Decided to brew a session IPA bc that's what my wife likes to drink and honestly I don't mind them either.
I also figured I would smoke a pork butt since my smoker is basically set and forget. Prepped my cook and brew day last night so I could get up and get my meat on early and then start my brew day around 10.
I should have known that brewing and smoking in close proximity don't mix. With that said the combo of smoke and beer brought out the mother FN flies. Them bitches were every fn where. I brew electric in my garage so during the mash I keep my lid on so I spend the entire afternoon swatting those damn flies. I've never seen so many at one time in my life. Cant wait til I get my man cave and I can brew inside with no bugs and in ac.
To top it off these fn ass clowns down in the south don't know how to listen and follow direction.
Go to the store for a few items and people have their whole family with kids in the store all in your space. Had to tell one woman to step back a few feet and to follow social distancing and she looked at me like I was dumb. People like that is the reason why this Covid crap isn't getting any better.
Finally my OG sucked. Aimed for 1.048 but can in at 1.043. That's with a 75 min mash. Probably gonna be a 4.5% beer which I guess isn't all that bad.
Cheers people. Take care and have a great weekend.
Sorry for the rant!
