Wouldn't you know it, HB Rye IPA tapped. The doctor said boot for 4 weeks, maybe this is what he meant!

I'm sorry to hear that. I went through the same thing when I tore a calf muscle. The moment I stopped thinking about it, "pop!" It went on that way for months. It wasn't until I learned to stop trying to catch a subway train, or quickly get out of a crosswalk, and learned to pay attention to every single step that it actually healed completely. It's a really hard thing to do because none of us have given much thought to walking since we were maybe four years old.Doctor said 4 weeks of boot/scooter, I gave it 5. Brave? Stupid? Anyway, tested. Went to Home Depot. After 15min of awkward walking, calf "popped" again. We'll see what the therapist says Thursday. In meantime, x2 painkillers... frustrating.

You are so right! The problem is my job requires lifting and being in the feet for a 12hr shift. Can't do it sitting or laying down. This is the first injury that I've said to myself, I getting older. I have a blown ACL from sparring a guy 10yrs younger and 40lbs heavier from 2011. But walking, really? Time to drink!I'm sorry to hear that. I went through the same thing when I tore a calf muscle. The moment I stopped thinking about it, "pop!" It went on that way for months.

I started a new batch last night......and a new batch of RHL this afternoon.
That looks wonderful! It brings back memories of an old brewpub chain in Portland, OR called Mcmenamins. They made something called Ruby in the early 90's that looked a lot like that.Grape ale sg sample. 6.8%

Hope it goes well on both. Any changes to the Lemoncello?I started a new batch last night......and a new batch of RHL this afternoon.
No major changes yet, other than adding the zest from a few lemons off my own tree, in addition to the store-bought organic lemons. But this batch will definitely have less added sugar though. With my previous batch I put far too much sugar in my simple syrup, and I could feel my teeth decaying as I drank it.Hope it goes well on both. Any changes to the Lemoncello?
Look what appeared.

English Bitter to start the afternoon.
Just checked the cold chamber fermenter for a German Pilsner, 24 hours later. The tempo of the bubbles .... Bump bump bump bump... Sounded like the beginning of Missippi Queen. Ha. Thankful I am easily entertained.
My RIS is bubbling like crazy. Like the opening drum track of Zeppelin's Ramble On.
OT:
Having a HM Mott's hard cider from the new batch.
