Recipe? For kraut? Cabbage + salt. I think 50g salt / kilo cabbage off the top of my head, but I'd hafta to double check. I've tossed some juniper berries in before and that's nice, but I think plain is better.
 
Age 4 or this morning?

Pshht. I started drinking at age 3. My parents even took a picture of the after effects. Sad part is that I'm not even joking! I was the ring bearer in my Aunt's wedding in '83 and at the reception I got bored because everyone was out on the dance floor having a ball. So since no one was paying attention to me and I was thirsty, I decided I would just start finishing the drinks that were left at the table. I mean at 3 years old, you just assume that they were done if they were unattended drinks and I knew not of alchyhol. So, there I was, drinking everyone's drinks at the table. All dolled up in a tux that was about 3 sizes too big for me! Yeah. I'm hardcore!! ;-)

My great grandmother's sauerkraut crock. I'd love to put it back in service, but what would I do with all that kraut?
 
Finishing up cleaning bottles between 2nd and 3rd periods, and while I'm pulling older and stronger stuff out of my stash, also bleeding pressure from a bomber of my overcarbonated 2+ year old delicious medal winning Brett Tripel (tastes fantastic, but I should have given it a bit longer with the Brett before I bottled) before making that my nightcap.

Thats why I love mine, its only about 2 gallons. Ill make a half batch and give them half (we use a lot of kraut) and then gonna make IPA Pickles

You would think huh? No actually I haven't graduated with my MS in micro yet.

My previous day gig was in psychology, as the director of the autism life skills group at a local private hospital I did mostly paperwork and budget planning (hated it which is what prompted the change so I decided to go back to school) I'm almost done with my grad work now but I don't think they'll be asking me with a "lowly" masters degree to teach bio when they have tenured doctors of bio at their disposal.

I was asked to teach a psy 301 human development class today for a professor who is out on leave. I'm also considering taking on the homebrew class here next semester because the professor isn't continuing it due to being over extended. I enjoy teaching quite a lot just couldn't make a career out of it.

Nice man good for you. That's cool that you potentially could have a few options on what you could teach if you were to choose to do so some time down the line.

A home brewing class would be much more appropriate for me to attend as a student. Although I have enjoyed teaching my cousin and a friend of mine the basics of brewing.

Drinkin some westy goes uh. Good stuff. Was thinking if this beer would taste even better with age. I'm leaning towards no. The enjoy by date gives me a hint.

Lied aboiut the night cap. Was gonna makte the Brett Tripel it for the night, but I'm alreayd drunk and should have been in bed 2 hours ago to get enough sleep for work tomorrow, but f#@& it. Double pour of my Milk Sout. At least it'se barely 3% alchol. :mug:
 
Not much going on tonight eh? Drinkin solo for the first time in a while. It's nice to get a buzz on with some vinyl spinning every once in a while relaxin with Miles and his quintet
 
Got back from an amazing sour tasting and some sushi so of course the next course of action was to crack into the back items in the beer fridge. First up was a Farmers Reserve No. 3 which was as tart and great as it always is. Next was a Saison Rue I've had forever and just never opened; obviously well brewed but I'm starting to think a rye/Brett combo just isn't my sorta thing especially once it warms up

Just when I thought everyone had just about called it you're bringing out some big guns. Some brown IpA for me. Think this is it for me. Miles' session is almost over.

No work for me tomorrow and nothing but an 11 am flight for vacation purposes mean I can keep this party going for a while tonight. Roommate really wanted to crack into the Suede I had hiding in the fridge; definitely one of the oddest beers I've ever had. The floral honey combination gives this a bit of an anise hint to it and masks that 9.6% pretty damn well.
