Dear No Hydro,
You need to learn how to Barleywine. Rack that beast to a secondary and let it sit for 6 months or a year. Preferably with Brett
. Then dry hop for another few weeks and package (if you're bottle carbing, with fresh yeast). Problem solved.
Sincerely,
Loves me some Stock Ale

Dear idiot brain,
You cannot tell the hands to vent 35 psi through the liquid out post. It gets messy. You should now apologize to the ceiling and SWMBO's nice light thing for getting IPA all over them.

Your idiot owner

Dear Stock Ale,
I am still a green noob. I probably bit off more than I can chew just making a brew that I won't even taste for 7 months. No secondary, and Brett scares the hell out of me.

Dear B.B. King,
I know it has been a few days, but I wanted to thank you for inspiring so many of the heroes of my youth; then just hanging out and being great for decades while my appreciation of your music and performing style grew.
Sincerely,
Someone touched by your legacy

Dear Beer Gut,
I know we have been together for 20 years,
but I have to spend a week on the beach,
so I am doing my best to lose a bit of you,
Sincerely
Burritos and Beer is an awesome meal, every night!

Dear post-workout beer,
I hate the gym, but I love you. Ok, I also kind of love the gym, somewhat.
Sincerely,
I earned this sh**.
Dear fat gut,
6 pounds gone in a week. And that was slacking too. I've been working even harder this week. Your days are numbered.
Sincerely,
Finally getting myself in shape.

Dear broken hydrometer
Five years and counting and still on my first hydrometer... But I only use a hydrometer for FGs. Everything pre-fermentation I use a refractometer for.
Sincerely
Much mo easier

Dear Mo,
At sub $30, its an investment in avoiding broken hydrometers that's well spent.

Dear Much Mo & Ditto,
But you can't taste a refractometer sample...

Dear Much Mo,
I made it about 4 years on my first, and still on my second. Because I also only use it for FG readings.
Sincerely,
Refractometer for the win.

I'm fortunate enough to live within 30 minutes of four LHBSs. If I break one, I'll buy another then. Also, as a general rule, my pre-fermentation gravities are taken when I've been drinking. My FGs are generally when I'm sober.
Sincerely
I'm drunk, what were we talking about again?

Dear ESPN,
I haven't watched TV for years and apparently I'm behind the times, but really - WTF?!? What's next, Academic Decathlon? Speed Shaving? Full Contact Quilting?
Sincerely,
Maybe it's just dry humor?

Dear Humor:
People watch other people PLAYING CARDS, ON TV! People will watch ANYTHING on TV. People watched "Honey Boo Boo" for crying out loud. There's no telling what's next when it comes to crap on TV.
Sincerely, Haven't turned my TV on in months.

Dear crap I've collected through my life,
Why is it that you insist on multiplying in the final hours before I have to yet again turn in the keys prior to sleeping at my new place? Will you continue to do this once I'm finally able to buy a home? If so, be warned I will burn you to cinders as I leave my final apartment behind.
But that one armed Ben Kenobi figure meant SO MUCH to me when I was five... Why oh why has he fathered these endless boxes of CDs, DVDs, magazines and unused oil painting supplies since then?
Sincerely,
Tired of packing and hauling you around
PS: Dearest Landlord - why can't you accept 50% less so I can stay?!

Dear Tired of Packing,
Much like weight loss, there are extreme and less extreme methods to do what you want. The "weight loss by Malaria" version is a tornado and the power of positive thinking version is to just put is all in a storage unit....and hope it get's hit by a tornado.
Personally, I just spent four years living out of a backpack and computer bag and sharing a 14' x 14' room with a different stranger each month or so...you stop being attached to stuff.
Sincerely,
Guy who purges stuff that just doesn't matter

Dear Tired of Packing,
Pack everything up. Move. Only unpack stuff as you need it. Anything that is still packed in time for the next move gets tossed. Less stuff to move next time.
Otherwise, try watching a few episodes of Hoarders (is that show still airing?), always seems to encourage me to throw away two or so large contractors style trash bags worth of crap. Do this every few months and reap the rewards.
Sincerely,
I have a fix for most everything

Dear tired of packing
I'm moving in the next couple of months, and I'm amazed at how much stuff ends up in my attic and basement over the years. I'm doing the math, and I think I'll need to rent a dumpster to get rid of it all, rather than overstuffing the garbage for the next two months.
And why did I think it was a good idea to hold onto all my undergrad textbooks instead of selling them when they were the latest edition. They're now worthless...
Sincerely,
I'm not a hoarder (or am I?)
