Sunday Morning

[Redlantern]

Always love the opporutnity to brew for other people - escpecially when my limited repertoire matches their particular taste

Brewed a batch for my daughter's coach. A solid IPA. Will do quite well I think. Based on the types of IPA's she drinks, it should be a nice match
11.5 lb 2-row
1 lb Munich (7.1 SRM)
.5 lb Carastan
.25 lb 60 L
.187 Acidulated
60 and 20 min additions of Columbus
f/o Cascade and Amarillo

20 min hop stand @ 160°F Amarillo, Chinook, Cascade

dryhop will be same as hop stand

should come out at about 6.5% ABV and 56 beersmith IBU's

OG of 1.063 hit spot on and yeast is going at it nicely - quite fast actually. Pitched at 3:00 and it is already going strong. I anticipate a very good batch

Wife and I are on a 2 day rock collecting trip, tomorrow we're looking for psilomelane and fluorite near Deming NM. Today we had a great time at 4 different spots.

It's a chilly 27*F this morning, working right now, but I'll be grillin' & chillin' after work, doing a couple loads of laundry, starting my habenero peppers (inside) & enjoying Payette Brewing's Vienna lager; should go well with smoked pork chops. I hope everyone has a good, quiet & peaceful Sunday.
Regards, GF.

Packing for a move. New house will have dedicated brew space

 

[Kirkwooder]

Happy Easter to all.

We started the day with eggs, sausage, home fries and toast. Later this afternoon we will be having dinner with our kids and only grandchild. There will be eggs hidden and found, a few beers consumed, ham and tatters eaten,stories told and retold, and a good time had by all.

Peace to all, and again Happy Easter.

 

[unionrdr]

Well, I barbequed these for Easter dinner;

Then uploaded another episode of my Airgun Shooter series to Youtube. Generally a quiet day.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

Working again this morning. A cloudy day here in MT, only 35*F this morning. After work it'll be laundry, calling my Mom & cooking supper whilst enjoying a few brews. Should be nice & quiet today, considering all those kids sleeping off yesterdays graduation festivities.
Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms out there! Hope everyone has a great Sunday!
Regards, GF.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

Working again today. Should be a nice day, after work it'll be laundry, watering the lawn and maybe a little grillin' & chillin,' if I'm not too tired. CBS Sunday Morning looks like a good one this week, they've got an interview with Gregg Allman coming up. Right now it's a piece on "The Lost Platoon" for Memorial Day. Hope everyone has a great Sunday!
Regards, GF.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

Good Sunday morning HBT! Here it is, June 11th & it's currently 33*F. I planted some Nasturtiums Friday, hope they survive. Working at the moment, off in about an hour. After work it'll be finishing up the laundry & cooking supper whilst enjoying a few pints of cider.
I hope everyone has a great Sunday!
Regards, GF.

 

[cannman]

This is the first Sunday Morning that I've had free away from work in 2.5 years... and due to a schedule change, I'll not work a Sunday for the foreseeable future....

 

[Brew_Dude41]

Good Sunday morning everyone! Long time since my last post due to a slight increase to the size of our family.
Last September we added triplet boys to our 2 year-old daughter, needless to say we havd been busy. We have been blessed that everyone is healthy and happy, but boy do four kids in diapers keep you on your toes.
Finally they are getting a bit more manageable and independent, and I have a little time to breathe.
Today during nap time my goal is to get the 10 gallons of Oktoberfest into kegs for a short 2 weeks of conditioning.
Also got some bouns brews from BrewDog that i need to figure out how to distribute. With out too much explination i have some Punk IPA and Evis Juice share with folks who may not have had it before. Any thoughts?
Take care all.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

Good Sunday morning HBT! Another Saturday night/Sunday morning at work for me, but it's quiet & usually easy, tonight had a few things that had to be dealt with though. We've had a few freezes over the last couple weeks & my Nasturtiums have about had it, thought I'd pick some of the remaining green leaves & add them to a stir-fry; they taste like radish.

After work I'll be finishing up the laundry, making supper & enjoying a few mugs of cider in the process. After those things it'll be bedtime; then waking up & starting another work week. I'm really looking forward to taking some time off. I hope everybody has a great Sunday!
Regards, GF.

i don't do nothing... go to service in the morning then come back and prepare for beach relaxation. An awesome way

 

[Kirkwooder]

Good Sunday morning everyone. Here in Western NY state's Southern tier region it's a crisp 27*F and a light snow is falling. The ground is showing only slightly more green from the grass than the white of the freshly fallen snow of last night.

It's the last weekend of deer gun season and I have only spent a few hours in the woods and have yet to see a deer. It doesn't look like I'll get a chance to get out there today, oh well, maybe next year.

Today will be spent in a different kind of hunt. The annual trek to the city, to my daughter's and her husband's house, and then off to a cut your own tree lot, for the hours long wander, looking for that perfect tree. Only to settle on " That one way back there where we first came in." A couple years ago the tree blew off the roof of the car on the trip back to their house, much to the delight of my then 16 month old grandson. Last year, he was old enough to help carry the tree out of the lot. ( holding onto the very top of the tree and trying to keep up as my son-in-law and I carried the tree.)

We generally have lunch at a Red Robbin, before returning to the house to trim the tree. It's funny how something I used to dread so much now will be the highlight of the holiday season. Just add a three year old. Grand kids are great!

My dad is in the hospital up there, awaiting emergency bypass surgery, so we will need to take the time to stop in and see him, before he is filleted like a fish tomorrow.

Looks like I will have a busy day, there's about a dozen face cord of fire wood in the back yard that needs to be stacked. A tractor that needs some repair before being put up fore sale, a fence on the chicken yard needs fixing, and a snow plow that needs to mounted on my UTV. None of that is likely to get any attention today, however, some eggs, taters, and bacon need frying before anything gets done.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday and a happy holiday season.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

It's a chilly 17*F. here this morning, no snow, but some fog. Worked all night, I'll be off a bit after sunrise. After a quick trip to the store I'll be baking cookies, doing laundry & wrapping presents; though hot buttered rum & a piece (or 2) of apple Kringle will make things easier & more fun. Good luck to you & your Dad @Kirkwooder I hope everything goes well with his surgery.
I hope everyone has a great Sunday!
Regards, GF.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Well, I'm not sure of the temperature here on the south shore of Long Island, but the snow that fell yesterday is still covering the ground. Sounds like you've got a busy and enjoyable day @Kirkwooder . I also hope things go well for your dad's bypass. It is a long recovery, but he just might feel like a new man once the healing is complete.

Mm mm, @gratis.... Cookies sound good. I have the ingredients for some chocolate chip cookies yesterday, but decided to make bread instead yesterday. It was good this morning with eggs and bacon. Soon I'll be heading out with the other half shopping.

Cheers!

 

[Kirkwooder]

Good Sunday morning everyone. 19* and calm here in New York's Steuben County. We have received 10" of fresh snow in the last few days, mostly lake effect from lake Erie. Luckily it's the light and fluffy stuff.

I plowed the driveway last night. I'll need to do a bit more snow removal around the shop and a path needs to be cleared back to the chicken coupe. A half hour should be plenty to get that done. Today is the very last day of deer season, muzzle loader only, I'd like to get out for a bit today. I still have a dozen or so face cord of fire wood that needs to be stacked out back. The old tractor still needs fixing, and the fence on the chicken coupe can wait due to the fact that chickens don't care for the deep snow and will stay close to the coupe.

We visited with my dad yesterday at the hospital, he's doing well, not as well as the doctors would like, but looks to be improving.

It's well past time for breakfast, eggs, bacon, home fries and half a pot of fresh coffee sound like they should hit the spot this morning.

I wish all of you the very best this fine Sunday.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Cloudy and cold here at the moment, but any day one wakes and can get up and going is a fine day, right? Have a Christmas party to go to in a few hours, so keeping breakfast light today. Glad your dad is recovering and surgery is behind him. Enjoy!

 

[gratus fermentatio]

Good morning HBTers! Currently -04*F. here in my little corner of Montana, when it's this cold, the snow squeaks instead of crunches. Only a few inches of snow on the ground at the moment though. I'm still at work (graveyard shift), but after work it'll be laundry, hot buttered rum, supper & bed. I hope everyone has a great Sunday!
Regards, GF.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

This year I have managed to get all of what is needed before today, so I'll be calmly prepping for Christmas Day dinner and wrapping gifts, church later and making breakfast in a little while. The sun is shining for now and temps are in the 40's here. Have an enjoyable day, what ever you're doing.

 

[passedpawn]

Daughter and I are making a banana cream pie for tomorrow's dinner. Making a graham cracker crust and homemade caramel drizzle for it. I always do a tenderloin roast on the grill for christmas dinner.

It's really nice here right now. I kinda wish it would get cooler for christmas day though. It's getting down to 60's they say, so that's something. 70's today - not very Christmas-like.

 

[MaxStout]

Baked a loaf of quick crusty bread and will be heading over to a cousin's place later today. Then off to my mother-in-law's early tomorrow morning.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

Good morning HBT. It's a cold, wet, rainy morning here today. I've worked all night & am in an odd mood; I've been listening to "Smooth Jazz for a Rainy Day"


Less than an hour til quittin' time & all I really want to do is sit by the window, watching the rain, sipping hot tea & eating biscuits & honey...
And continuing to listen to smooth jazz.
Instead, I'll be going over to the girlfriend's house to console her since her cat died yesterday. Girlfriend has to eat gluten free, so no biscuits, but I can at least take some tea & chocolates to help sooth her nerves.
I hope everyone has a good Sunday, no matter where you are or what you do.
Regards, GF.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Sipping my coffee, and watching This Week. Meeting friends at a local pub for a traditional Irish Breakfast a little latter. Enjoy the day.

 

[MaxStout]

A quiet Sunday here. On my second cup of coffee, maybe do a third. I feel lazy today, though I need to run some errands. We need groceries, too, but I'll wait until early this evening, as the stores will be slammed now with people getting last minute stuff for the Superb Owl. Not a big football fan, so won't mind missing it. Glad to see lots of people here in Mpls. having fun, though.

I have an old desk I'm refinishing. My father-in-law built it in high school shop class, and we have had it stored away in the basement for years. Decided to get it out and make use of it. It's not the nicest looking desk--he built it from whatever scrap wood he could scrounge back in 1939. But it's sentimental. Decided to sand it down and repaint it. Just primed it a few nights ago. Need to decide on a color for paint. My wife hasn't decided on that, so will let her pick one out, but wish I had that ready to go as painting would be a good indoor activity since it's cold af today.

Have a good Sunday, all.

 

[stella_tigre]

Smooth jazz here too. https://www.kcck.org on a chilly morning. 2 or 3 inches of new snow, temp continues to fall steadily - it was 22 *F at midnight, now it's 8*F. And breezy. And a bit more snow on the way.

Going to rack some wine to secondary, make some nacho meat for later, then scrub down the kitchen walls so the guy coming to install the new backsplash tomorrow isn't dealing with that. Finally after 4 years getting this done!

@gratus fermentatio condolences to your gf for the loss of her kitty.

Nice easy going Sunday so far. Got up early, fired up my awesome smoker (that I converted to electric 15 years ago and still going strong), got several slabs of St. Louis style ribs, and a pork butt smoking away. Went to church, the wife made wonderful omelets with fresh eggs from our chickens. Kicking back with a cup of coffee. Later we will be enjoying my home brewed London Porter, a nice cigar, and then the smoked succulents! Bring on the big game! Happy Superbowl Sunday Everyone!

My Sunday resulted in this:

Hope everyone is doing well. Our family celebrates Easter so today we went to church early this morning and the wife made an awesome breakfast afterwards. Going to my brother in law's place later today and I get to see all the family and my grand kids! Happy Easter!

Nice, John. We have my wife's family, and some in-law's cousins from Ireland coming soon.
I hope they like my Irish Red!
