I knew my comment above would speak to you. I almost @-ed you,but thought you’d be sleeping. Can’t keep up with your schedule.
Did you tell us what you’re building yet, I can’t remember. It looks pro to me. 👍
 
I remember that beer !!!!
Those things were a bargain so I bought a bunch from the native plant series to see how they aged.

From my notes this one had some good funk fresh. Aged it has a nice clean lemon now. A very funky aroma. I seem to remember a sharp funkiness fresh but its def rounded out now.
 
Delirium Tremens, Belgian Ale, brewed by Family Brewery Huyghe, Belgium.

Pours a golden hue, crystal clarity, a solid one-finger head and good lacing. Slight flowery essence and somewhat residual sweetness. Flavor reminds me a lot of the plastic toys I used to chew on as a toddler back in the early 1960’s.

Really hides the 8.5% alcohol. I’d guess 6%, maybe it is the residual sweetness that masks it. A good beer to brag you actually drank one, otherwise go buy a Sixer of something else you like.

Welp, prepare for a story.

I switched to night shift for multiple reasons back in late November '22. The guys I worked with were becoming old and useless, management/engineering was inept yet bothersome, nights has a +15% shift differential and it's peaceful with less homo-sapiens roaming around. As a side note, one of the technicians I now work with was the guy that replaced me at Silicon Systems in Santa Cruz back in July 1994 when we moved to Austin. Small industry.

I normally sleep no more than 5hrs anyway so going back to 7pm-7am (I did this shift from 1992-1999) seems like no big deal to me... SWIMBO? Another matter...😉

The project is an experiment. I wanted a fire feature and LED waterfall feature so giving it a go on a budget. Our plan is to move to Florida for early retirement after the granddaughter we're in care of graduates high school in 4 years. This way I can take these skills and lessons with us. We'll see but either way lessons learned about home remolding.

You can PM me anytime! Found out I'm in a day shift team for a week which will slow me down but hopefully have final pictures in 3 weeks.

Thanks for the inquiry! Hope all is well with you also!

This and some Lemoncello x2

Dinner beers. HB Pliny Inspired WCIPA and a fresh Pliny. Pliny on the left, HB on the right.

HB had 2% C60. A bit more color than Pliny. Overall flavor was very close - my wife and two friends couldn’t tell the difference. I can definitely taste and smell the crystal in the HB (Pliny no longer has any crystal). Next try will be all two-row …

HB Cream Ale in what is, probably, a parfait glass. But, for 2 bucks, I wasn’t going to turn down a pair of them. Looks enough like a Hefeweizen glass to call it a beer glass. :cool:

I have some Pilsner glasses similar to that from IKEA.
As for me, coffee.
