Moving loaders got here at 9 am and started prepping. Truck got here at 11 and realized it was the wrong trailer! Took 3 hours to make the 1 hour round trip to get the right one. Started raining and the crew was ready to leave at 5 with less than half loaded. I looked at my weather app and told them it was stopping in a few minutes and would have an hour break so wait and keep working. Rain stopped, didn't come back, they left about 8 pm so we can leave tomorrow morning.
OT Tired, thirsty, ready to rest so another "moving martini". At least I found a skewer for my olives!

Today I’m back with a blender – Big Little Thing Imperial IPA from Sierra Nevada. Today’s blender uses my “fave” Budweiser Zero. Let me strap on the Beermeister32 brewer’s math crunching helmet and see what we come up with ..…. hmmm… Bud Zero plus 19.2 ounces IPA at 9.1% ABV... uuuhh… 1.7472 ounces total booze, 31.2 total ounces, works out to be a 5.6% ABV net beer.

31.2 ounces of 5.6% liquid gold, that’s like about three conventional beers. Delicious!

Yes, I know, a bunch of you want “them big brews”…! 9.1 IPA’s. I enjoy stretching out my beer drinking to a more conventional 5-6% ABV range most of the time. Sometime I’m in the mood for a 9.1% slugger, mostly I’m interested in slightly lighter brews.

So how does this IPA taste being blended? Terrific! No fear! Enjoy!

First post from and HM beverage in our new house! Shoulda picked something in a nicer bottle! Amazed how much sh, er, stuff we accumulated the movers wouldn't put on their trailer. Two 4x8 U-Hauls, wife's SUV, the bed, back seat and passenger seat barely held it all. I'll have admit there may have been a few alcoholic beverages.🤔

Almost finished with the new chicken run, got wife's soon to be "new engine" on the engine stand to start the rebuild, pulled the wheels off my 4runner to rebalance before our trip to obx this weekend, and built second step yeast starter in the 5L flask for a hopeful brewday on the 4th.. now time for a all day ipa, wanted to get the telescope out, but maybe tomorrow.
