So, what is wrong with brewing like a girl/woman? Hmm?

Nuttin. You should change your plans and show up. We need new victims to suffer through the indignity of having to explain to the in-laws why the Masstoberfest Cup is ensconced over the fireplace on Thanksgiving.

We’re gender neutral. So long as you self identify as a brewer we’ll allow you to use our portapotty

You could've picked a better weekend. ;)
I really can't change the commitment I've made that weekend, even with enticement of the fabulous coveted cup. I had hubby all talked into it too, he's my DD.
 
Da fuq? This guy’s the son of He Who Shall Not Be Mentioned.

Tell me more,, anyway,,,just looking to see what I typed last night, thought my stream of consciousness was pretty coherent for Friday night.

Wtf? The rainwater cistern broken?

City boy's understanding of infrastructure?...though my brother on Maui does have a cistern.
 
Nope, that inside joke is lost on me. Hubby was going to us drive up, then drive us to a hotel for an overnight afterwards, because the whole drunk driving thing would suck. Well, there's always next year.
 
Meanwhile, on amity island, this weekend being one of the last crescendos of summer traffic and desperate vacationer stupidity, I chose to remain in yard today and finish adding electric brewing adaptations to my kettles.

Hurricane season is coming, so decided to load test a generator with brew kettle. I could not be more pleased with the results. 4500W, 240 V, got 14 gallons from 70F to boil in less than an hour. This unit uses .5 gallons diesel per hour on full load, works less than propane. And now I know I can brew even if prolonged power outage.

I know, I'm livin the dream, and don't think I am not grateful.
 
Love the generator, think you might have missed a spot with the grinder...

Missed a lot of spots, using a new to me MIG and the wrong kind of gas for SS, kind of practicing as I go. Admit they are ugly, since they don't leak I'm happy.

Part of the fun is making and rigging the stuff. Have soldered, brazed and welded on some of these, I think dibbling and silver solder with the right flux might be a good choice for most, but have to try all the methods at hand, just to keep myself amused.

Edit: The ugliest connections are the ones I did with bronze-phosphor brazing rod, I'll clean up the flux residue and prettify them someday. Solder and mig both end up putting less heat on the kettles, brazing should go quick in theory, but had a hard time getting it to tin, & blew a couple holes in keg I had to chase down.
