Scored that free carboy yesterday.
Stayed up late.
Tired.

Coffee/water

But did you brew?

Gotta run out to the shed to pitch my yeast. Having iced coffee now.
I took Friday off work and came back to find out my suspicion is correct, my new boss is a total micro manager and will be over-bearing. This won't go well.
 
I hear you. I have 8 days off but my coworker passed her nasty head cold on to me. I'm still planning on a brew session today.

What is with this weird summer cold going around? Everyone seems to have it. They are the worst. Alcohol kills germs, so more drinking is definitely on order.
 
Full Throttle... Monday.

The days and weeks are whipping by too fast, woke up this morning and felt like a crisp fall day, kids are almost back to school. Crazy.

I thought you were one of the lucky ones who gets to work from home?

Coffee/ water getting things ready for brew day this afternoon.
 
What's brewing today?


For lack of a better word ( I'm not well educated on beer styles) basically a drinkable yeast starter using WLP002 and lemon drop hops/centennial hops, and simple grain bill( somewhere in between a Smash and an pale ale). I'm gonna brew a big lewboski RIS in a few weeks and plan on pitching it on top of the yeast cake. I've never reused yeast before so it should be interesting. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Gotcha... good luck, don't have much in the way for advice though.

I was going to save some of my saison yeast slurry, but I don't know if I should after dry-hopping. However, not too concerned because some grassy flavors in a saison wouldn't be too terrible (if it even contributes anything).

Would just be nice to have a stock pile of yeast I can use, especially when that tends to be a good chunk of the brew price. When I brewed the mild, the fresh pack of notty was a quarter of the batch cost.
