Sunday Morning

[user 204491]

Well, thanks to a teething toddler I was up way before sunrise this morning :smack:

Oh well, once we got him settled down and back to bed I was wide awake anyway, so I just went ahead and got a jump on things.

I got my Kombucha Kreik (hard kombucha experiment) kegged and carbing up and got the fermenter soaking.

Already got everything ready to go for my 2nd of 5 brews over the long weekend. I brewed a no boil Gose yesterday. Today is my House Kölsch, and then this evening the wife and I are going to do a batch of my Governor's Graf on the stove top. Tomorrow is back to back batches of a golden sour base to fill my 15 gallon solera vessel.

Once I get the brew day done and cleaned up we've got a 1 year old's birthday party to go to this afternoon. We already prepped 2 weeks worth of slow cooker meals yesterday, so as long as the brews go well, it should be smooth sailing the rest of the long weekend.

Hope everyone enjoys their Sunday!

Studying for an Ontario Security ministry exam. Will probably be gaming by noon, as there isn't much material here.

10 gallons of lambic base in vourlaf while 18° out. Having to thaw the $&@- hose for chilling later.

Oh well, hot scotchy helps to keep a Brewer warm.

This Sunday morning finds me sick as a dog. Hope everyone is having a better Sunday than I am.

Fell asleep early last night and got to sleep in. Cleaned the house, did dishes, then went to my son's hockey game where he scored a goal. Having some beers with the inlaws and waiting for some pulled pork to be done. Enjoy your Sunday!

Going to bottle a 1 gallon AG porter as soon as the priming solution cools down. Had some brewery cleaning to do first.

This Sunday morning finds me feeling much better than I did last week. The wife and I have a very busy day planned. It's supposed to be a fairly nice day, with mostly sunny skies and temps above freezing.

I have the boys and their beagles coming first thing this morning to chase a few bunnies. Hopefully we will put a few in the game bag today.

Then we have the kids and the grand baby coming for the boys first sled riding, and a ham dinner. My folks may join us and make an event of it.

I have to get some firewood brought in sometime during the day as well. The nice weather isn't supposed to last past this afternoon so I really need to make it happen today. If this mild winter holds out it may be the last time Ill need to bring in wood this winter.

First I'll need to get some breakfast on the table. Eggs over easy, bacon, home fries, toast and some good strong black coffee sound about right to get this Sunday started.

I hope everyone enjoys their Sunday.

Today will bring decent weather, so brewing is a must, as far as I'm concerned. I'm going to shoot for two barleywines. Grain and hops are weighed out, just need to fill some kettles and start crushing.

 

[Braufessor]

A batch of NE IPA is on deck today...... trying to get the pipeline topped off - Track season starts tomorrow so coaching is going to start to put a bigger and bigger dent in brewing opportunities over the next 3 months as the school year winds down. Luckily, I will have 6 batches of beer in fermenters after today, as well as another 8 batches kegged...... should carry me through the spring.

 

[Ridire]

Am I the only old dork who relaxes on Sunday morning by paying the bills, balancing the checkbook and doing other household financial things? Don't know why, but I find I feel so much better, mentally, after that is done each Sunday...and everyone in the house leaves me alone for 30 minutes with my coffee and computer to do it...

 

[Venari]

Trying to work up the energy to go mix together this kit'n'kilo stout.

I'm brewing a barleywine this morning as well. Best of luck to you!

 

[phyllobeddo]

I bottled my Zombie Dust Clone and brewed an APA. It's great brewing and bottling in my basement brewery. It's been a very busy morning, though.

Trying to work up the energy to go mix together this kit'n'kilo stout.

Interesting! What is that anyway?

 

[Venari]

Actually did a blonde ale instead. Need to sanitise the cocoa nibs and vanilla beans for the stout. Decided to experiment and used captain Morgan's spiced rum for that.

Next week I'll make the muntons stout from the kit n kilo can.

Working again today.

 

[Kirkwooder]

Bacon and pancakes for breakfast, then cutting some firewood, and then off on a beer tour. Should be a pretty good day!

Hope every one has a great Sunday!

 

[treacheroustexan]

Bacon for breakfast, then off to Willoughby Brewing Company for their Nutsmasher release.

 

[Elkobrewer]

This Sunday morning will have me drinking coffee with swmbo then off to the gym for work out then shower shave and off to church. After that we will play it by ear. Happy Sunday all.

 

[Rockn_M]

Relaxing morning on the couch. Need some extra time before getting up after a really busy Saturday of putting together a trampoline, ruining Cat5 in the attic for additional security cameras and for my brewpi in the garage.

 

[user 204491]

So far a pretty quiet Sunday today. Took care of a brew session, kicked off a fresh batch of cider, kegged a beer, and cold crashed another beer yesterday, and got everything cleaned up then, so nothing beer related to do today besides drink!

Somehow the wife, baby, and dogs are all sleeping in this morning, so I'm just drinking my coffee and enjoying the quiet while it lasts.

 

[stella_tigre]

Keeping an eye on the new lager in the cool storage room. Temp didn't drop like I expected with a towel draped over the carboy, so trying to get it below 60. (Room is 49* but the fermenter was at 61 under the towel.) Coffee, breakfast, start a round of feeding houseplants, then ???

Enjoy your Sunday!

 

[Johow]

Fermenters all full, so Just a RDWHAHB and maybe a cigar kinda day...

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Slept in, and now having some coffee and waffles. Daughter has a birthday party to go to, so I'll be doing something outside with my son. Might go fishing or to the driving range. Some beers will be drank, and have some apfelwein and beer to take care of later. Have a great day!

 

[ChelisHubby]

SHould be a easy day, I need to get a fishing license and pick up taxes. I will probably keg a pale ale that is crashing also.

 

[Venari]

Wish I could do taxes...I'm still waiting on one T4 slip so I can get it over with. Perhaps, if i'm lucky, this should knock about 500 off my debt to the CRA.

For me, today is a day of watching TV and perhaps some gaming.

This! I'm actually embarrassed to admit that it is almost March and I do not have a fishing license yet. My salty dog father is rolling in his grave right now. Having a newborn and a two year old puts a damper on fishing trips. Oh well, in a few years having two boys to take fishing will be the ticket to go fishing more. At least having two young kids has let me brew more..... because in SWMBO's eyes at least it is something I can do at home. I caught my supply up during my three weeks of bonding time I took off from work. Happy Sunday everyone!

 

[SupervisingChildren]

My license is good until some time in May. Ours are now yearly based on the date of renewal.

Cleaned out my car earlier, then took my son to the golf driving range. Spoke with some family, then made a nice dinner. It was definitely a great day.

Working. Again.

 

[NatureOfTheYeast]

Sunday brewday of course .

Doing a Rangpur Witbier with a bunch of fresh zest from this year's harvest. Freshly cracked coriander and a grip of chamomile flowers, should be good. Can't wait!
