Never Gose Full Tropic and Here We Gose Again.
 
fwiw, it's been in the 50s and 60s and wet here for most of Spring save for a few lovely 70-something days. But coming mid-week we'll have some upper 80s°F heat to deal with.

Honestly, 75°F year round would be ideal at this point in my life. Too many fused vertebrae and most of the meniscus gone in one knee to ski anymore so the heck with actual winter, then fall and spring can be complete crap, and our actual summers lately have had numerous 90-something heat waves which unless you're near the ocean can be hellacious...So gimme San Diego temperatures :rock:

Cheers! ;)
 
The upper part of the rust belt - definitely not Heaven 😂. Don’t worry, in a week or two it will be 95 with dew points in the high 60s.
Hey if you can have 60F beers in May it sounds like heaven to me.

I don't have any health reasons why, but I like San Diego weather without the San Diego prices.

You can ski on a knee replacement these days. But the fused vertebrae probably makes it tough to be super mobile. I'm planning to get both my knees done before I'm 50 so I can keep snowboarding.
 
DFSaison.jpg

Dark farmhouse saison. Was meant to be a schwarzbier, but i fermented it with Lalleamand Farmhouse. I do a saison every year, but it's pretty much 30% Malted spelt and 70% pils and wyeast 3726. Have done many similar over the years and love it.

I thought i'd try the lallemand farmhouse, was meant to do my usual spelt saison, but on a whim, used it on a schwarzbier cube.


I reaaaalllly like it. Most of the colour is from a LOT of sinimar ( getting rid of an old bottle ), its got munich malt too, and the farmhouse gives nice saison esters with a little bubblegum ( not used to that but it works well here ). Very very enjoyable. Will repeat.
 
Witbier.jpg

Witbier. Been a long time but im pretty happy with it. Used raw wheat from a health food shop, and i did use some Malted wheat as well. Hazy as i think it should be. I used wlp400, which worked quite well. I usually use WY3944, but this seems just as good. Wife likes it too.

I will definately brew more.
 
Oil slick stout. Made with over a lb of random jams (fig, pepper, cherry, etc) in 4 gallons. Aged 1 year in the bottle! Here is a 12 oz in a pint glass.
Actually pours just like used engine oil. Tasty though.
