The hardest part about mashing is the wait. Good time to get everything else in order for the brewday though.

I've made some awesome beers using extra + specialty grains. We'll see how this AG turns out.

Brewing a DIPA with heavy columbus and simcoe. Was going to use Conan but I decided on using an English strain -- harvested 1098 british ale yeast. Should come in around 9% ABV. I have over 17lbs of grain in the mash tun as we speak. You?

Sounds like a solid beer man I never tried doing an extract beer and steeping the specialty grain. I did a few extracts then switched to ag. I loved the extract beers I did tho. Im doing a hoppy wheat beer kind of roughly based off modern times fortunate island. I threw in a lil aciduated malt (2%) mostly 2 row white wheat and Vienna. Then hopping with azacca magnum and Amarillo.

The hardest part about mashing is I have to put my beer down once it's over.

[Hello]

M.A.D.E. beer. it's not quite done carbonating in the keg but I got excited. It's yummy too! I can't believe how this beer turned out. I turned the pressure down to 10 psi and I'll just let it sit there from now on.

Went outside to setup my burner in the garage. Noticed this just outside. A hawk or an owl went to town.

This past spring/summer I had a pair of Cooper's hawks in my backyard oak. They are fun to watch. Saw them eating a bird, squirrel, rabbit, etc just about everyday.

We have red-tail hawks. I once saw one grab a squirrel off of a fairway when I was golfing last summer, take it up into a tree and started to peck at it. It was insane.

That is where I get everything else in order as well. During the boil I wash my mash tun and basically just have the kettle to deal with when I am through. The kettle is 18" in diameter so that isn't exactly a small task.


Water. I haven't eaten today and this beer is 6.3% so...I'm feeling fine. I think it is bo jangle's time.

I was on my porch with my two year old pointing out a baby bunny in the yard when the hawk came down, grabbed and went back up in the tree to eat it. Nature.

It's good when children have a chance to understand the food chain--and our place in it--at a young age.

Got my one limit each coffee and vanilla noir. Other places that already have it are too far to drive on lunch break and other close-by places haven't gotten it yet. Don't need to spend any more today anyway.

I--and our place in it--

Good point. I should've climbed the tree, caught the hawk, and eaten it to really drive the point home.

We were in Epcot a couple of years ago looking at the gardens by the entrance to the world showcase and a hawk swooped down and snatched a rabbit just as we pointed it to the kids. It quickly turned into a life lesson discussion!

our 6 y/o asked mama why she doesn't eat meat. opened up that conversation. I told him where meat comes from & how they get it. we also told him that it's a personal choice and that's why mama doesn't eat animals but daddy does. he's good with eating meat for now.

Hawks are pretty fast in my experience...

After hours start at 3:19 for you?! Methinks I'm in the wrong field.
