Mind you I am not a gamer but brewing is the ultimate game complete with unlimited life.

I just bottled a batch of beer and was looking at the table full of beer bottles and I had a epiphany. Well first thought was thank golly miss Molly I can whizz now that I am done.

Well as I was gazing at the wonderful sight of all my soldiers lined up for battle I was struck that much like a game they will fall in battle. Much like the Irish Red and Moose Drool clone I am taking to beer and cigar night tomorrow. Some battles are fierce like beer and cigar night and some battles are lame like tonights bottling. But they will most assuredly fall and die a horrible death....Until I revive them with another life and bottle cap.

Aint life grand:rockin:

That's sort of poetic.. A heartfelt tribute to beer bottles. Nice. :mug:
 
Weird. I had the last post before bed and the first one waking up. Never saw that before:rockin:

I don't think you are getting enough sleep... I ended up bottling last night too. Now I've freed up a car boy, must refill it. Going to go for a special blend today. It's going to be like a fine stew with all the leftovers from the fridge thrown in. I hope the bees stay away today. Do I really need beersmith or something to come up with my own recipe? Nah, I'm just going to throw everything into the mix and see what happens. Washed some yeast for the first time too.

Hubby home from hospital but don't know for how long. He's acting like a grizzly bear that just came out of hibernation and found out someone ate his wife and kids while he was sleeping. Must avoid him at all costs, I'll be outside brewing. And I told him do not enter my room, he entered my room, get out!!! I'm afraid he'll fall and break something again. Last time he slipped on something and broke all the glass out of my cabinet, still glass everywhere. Cut his elbow and I secretly smiled. Get out of my room!!! I must try to be nice. Smile and say, yes, honey. I might have to move back into the shed. The couch out there is very comfy.

I think I am not getting enough or at least that is what my wife is telling me. Heck I just cannot see laying in bed though doing nothing when I cannot sleep.

Hehe Yup I got a empty as well but no grain to fill it with. I am going to buy a couple of bags and brew this weekend with my new mash tun and the no sparge method. I think I have died and gone to heaven:rockin:
 
Can I mash corn flakes? Trying to figure out what I can add to make this go further, trying for 5 gallons. And I spent the electric bill money on grain and hops. :eek: One week and I'll have plenty more supplies. BREW-HA-HA!!! Hubby mad but he was mad anyway. Give him a reason. :eek:

Yup I believe so. Same ratio pound for pound but you should not go over about 30% I think it is with adjunct grain or it will be hard to convert to sugar. Not enough enzymes or something

Doing a corn flake mini mash(BIAB) on the stovetop, gonna add it to the mix. I got 2-row, rice, grits and now cornflakes going in, won't be more than 20%. Should be interesting. I didn't really spend the bill money on supplies, we got plenty in savings we can take out if needed, hubby says don't touch it. I want to touch it!! Must have supplies!!!

And you can name it beer...GREEAT beer Done in my best Tony the tiger voice:ban:
 
How about bacon with every meal, every day? ;)

I contemplated having her beheaded but she told me no to that as well. Dang I guess it is true what they say about kings. "Behind every king is a bossy queen":D

So barring a harem and revolt against the queen I declare today free beer in this thread paid for by the queen. That will learn her:rockin:

And bacon lots of bacon
 
I wonder where to get bacon lean enough to make bacon-beer? Cook it well then steep it? The bees have found me too. They are calling their friends now, come on over, beer is brewing!!! :ban:
