My wife needed to get a white background pic for a project. She took this pic this morning of a bunch of cabochons I made last night and a few pieces of nuggets I had sitting on my diamond grinder.

Is that a bunch of little dough balls I see floating?

Brew on

No doughballs here. Thoroughly mixed. Just a few little floating grain clumps

At what point does a "grain clump" become a dough ball?

Brew on

Per Steve Miller, everything's better when wet.

Speaking of dough balls, I've just had my worst case of them today. 20+ lbs. of grain with big balls. Prompted me to order a 24inch wisk for next time. I have a smaller wisk that does a good job for as far as it can reach, but it can't reach into the kettle nearly far enough.

PFFFFSH, 24 inches. That's not a whisk.

Now *THAT'S* a whisk.

That it is!! But as they say, 'it ain't the wisk, it's the motion." (or something like that)

*And I misspoke, I ordered a 36 inch whisk not 24. So it's almost a WHISK!!

This morning I made one of the cabochoms from my last pic in this thread into a ring for a friend of my wife for her birthday. My wife grabbed it and used it in a macro pic for another project.

Me too. The smell of fermentation is pretty special also (even if it's not in the morning).

My first tilapia out at the local pond. Caught it on a 3" curly tail soft plastic.

Went on a guys sailing the Exumas a couple weeks ago and my neighbor went and he loves fishing, he did some catch and releasing, caught a horse eyed jack fish and one of those shark sucker fish. He was wanting to land a shark but glad he did not, fishing off a sail boat does not leave much room to wrestle a 5 or 6 foot shark

 

[ba-brewer]

^Remora are the shark sucker fish

Better than a wisk when attached to a cordless drill! Stainless Steel paint stirrer.

I BIAB so I'll skip that one. I bet it works great though for some.

 

[pvpeacock]

Trust me, it's great at ripping the BIAB bag into shreds and thoroughly mixing it with the grain and water! I found out the hard way.

I used one to aerate my wort in a brew bucket.
To the untrained eye, I used it to liberally coat the surrounding woodwork, cabinets, neighborhood small woodland furry animals, and floors with wort.

I only used it once.

Some things one might find at a local brewery.

Went looking for an old mine, didn't find it but on the way back I found this chunk, about the size of a dinner plate, of fossilized crinoids from 340 million years ago. We spent 45 minutes looking but didn't find anything else worth collecting.
