Hb pale or amber.....either way its tasty. Used barke Munich this time. Love the barke malts. Pils is amazing. Very efficient and rich flavor. I think they would shine in any high abv beer, especially triples and quads
Huh, thought I attached a pic....
 
whats wrong with it? Hobby??

Work lunch water...the no-fun kind
About 6 months ago, they started to remove this engine for shop work, disconnected all hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical and fuel connections, then stopped work for availability of engine stand and bootstrap kit.
Over the last week, I've connected everything back up, then performed dry motor run, wet motor run (found a bad (spraying) fuel line at that point), had a new fuel line shipped in, replaced fuel line, then performed engine run. All good. Then had to do an engine preservation. Now disconnected everything again, will drop engine tomorrow, ship engine to repair facility where they will replace rear bearing oil seal, ship it back, then we need to reinstall engine, perform engine run and trim and engine preservation. Then remove engine again, and ship to San Antonio for a spare. Lots of work, but it pays very well. I just don't get much time off!
Need to get this all done as quickly as possible because they are setting me up with flights and a 2 week quarantine in Australia so I can do some work there.
Retirement sucks.

That's quite an engine. Does it drive your whirlpool? :p

While your down under, I hope you get to shop for hops. I’ve ordered Topaz over a month ago and apparently the order is sitting waiting for a flight. Sounds like BS, but between the recent fires and now the pandemic I guess it is possible.

Yeah, things are a little weird. Got permission to do quarantine for 2 weeks in Brisbane, but the only flight I can get is to Sydney. 14 hour layover in Sydney before I can get a flight to Brisbane, no quarantine facilities at Sydney airport. The guy paying the bills is about the richest guy in Queensland, so I'm sure something will get negotiated.
Don't know that they're going to let me go out shopping, though.
