The "Waiting for the Next Giveaway" Speakeasy

[TBC]

My son went nuts in home depot at the clearance decorations. He was so cute. Since he's only five and I didnt want to burst his bubble I ended up with a car full of decorations. Humongous wreaths , lights that synchronizes, projection lights, candy canes that sparkle, garland that lights up, bath mats with cheesy santa pics, and on and on. It's definitely a lot more Christmasy around here

Was at lowes last night and the same thing. All decorations were 50% off. Wife was looking at some but I told her I would stop back at 7am Monday morning for a better deal.

Just tried zombie dust for the first time

 

[TBC]

Did a side by side comparison with my clone

 

[TBC]

My clone is on the right and the real zombie dust is on the left.

 

[TBC]

The clone is a little hoppier than the real thing. Also the real zombie dust is real smooth. I will make some subtle adjustments next time.

 

[harrke]

Looks good, though! Congrats.

 

[kenoglass]

Nice!!

Had some of the kane imperial stout I kegged and added meco peppers and cocoa nibs and cinnamon stick too

 

[allanmorgan]

Targets?

For sure, but I did like being able to go outside and breathe fresh air on a daily basis.

Looks good for sure.

Lagunitas IPA on the left. My clone on the right. Mine is not as bitter, but tastes good.

 

[allanmorgan]

Color looks spot on though.

That looks really good Keno!

 

[harrke]

Well done Allan!

 

[allanmorgan]

Thanks Ken! A few adjustments, I think, and I should be able to get it closer to the bitterness level that Lagunitas has with theirs.

 

[kenoglass]

Looking goI'd too Allan!!

Truthfully I like less bitter beers. Not a huge ipa fan but am liking more of the hoppy late additions for taste and aroma.

 

[kenoglass]

Honestly my favorite is allagash white. Love that beer. I could drink that everyday. I want to make some but maybe a double white and increase the abv

Merry Christmas! Yeah monday is the day to go all in, but selection usually suffers a little. Yeah 180 dollars worth of half off stuff has definitely umm brightened things. Haha wife doesnt get it either . So I can't believe it people were crushing The Homebrew helles. I can't stand that beer. Although sometimes it's nice to have something refreshing. Usually when I do something like this it's to add some sort of flavor or tincture.

 

[kenoglass]

Got fancy with my new camera.

 

[applescrap]

Wow a submarine, what a job

I need help, no not mental , my sister's kids are driving us nuts. She won't discipline them and she won't let anybody else either. God it's difficult

 

[kenoglass]

Made a snowflake cutout and manual focused on the lights to get it appear each light was a snowflake.

 

[kenoglass]

My sister just told me they aren't doing presents or anything at all with their family. (They are church crazy not that its bad or anything) However she had n problem accepting our gift card for their family....

We are cooking for 18. Since the wife is a no red meat eater we have turkey. Cooking a 14lber tonight and an 14lber tomorrow. Our oven just holds the one turkey.

 

[kenoglass]

I actually try to grab any of the allagash special releases whenever I find them.

 

[allanmorgan]

Truthfully I like less bitter beers.

I hear ya, but I do like the bite on the tongue.

Ham in the oven. Overnight deal. Low and slow. Leftovers go into the navy bean soup.
