Does Drinking And Brewing Mix?

[Biermann]

Of Course. . .with my new system, and the automation associated with it, it is much easier to drink.

I try not to drink untill i'm boiling. The last time a sampled to much I didn't want to do all the clean up.

I got a little to drnuk once and couldnt read my brewing notes. The beer came out good but dang if I can find out what I did to it. :cross:

I'm definitely going to cut back to one during the mash. The boil is dangerous, I ended up with a second degree burn a few weeks back from my wort chiller. I doubt I would have avoided it if I hadn't been druck (real cause is the hose was too short -- I have since fixed that) but it definitely was a bit of a wake-up call!

I told this story before....but I think I can mention it again.

There was one batch, a Blue Moon clone, where I got sh1tfaced before I even started the boil. SWMBO came out into the garage feeling a little frisky. First hop addition, fornication, second hop addition, and so on.
I don't even remember pitching the yeast or anything. Well, I woke up and all of my gear was sitting on the kitchen counter cleaned and dried. My primary was bubbling away in a bucket of cold water with a towel wrapped around it and a floating thermometer in the water. My notes were in perfect order. My burner and brew gear was all put away all nice and tidy.

I was pretty damn drunk, so I was worried about how stringent I was on sanitation post boil (post massive beer consumption).
The beer turned out fine. We named it Bangin' Blue Moon!:rockin:



Now I keep it limited to a couple beers. Once I pitch the yeast and clean up........Game On!
