Hi y'all. As you may or may not know, taking a hiatus for now. Doing some healthy Keto. Looking at tackling some of @TwistedGray low ABVs later in the year for sure. 🍻

Kale, spinach, carrot, cucumber, electrolytes, wheat grass powder, ginger, vitamin Bs, coconut and avocado oils and stevia all blended for 4min. Surprisingly good...much better then the team on the glass! 😉

Oh, so I've lost 15lbs in less then a week. Guess that's not unheard of when starting this. Hit 256 and just weighed in at 241 after a 7mil walk.

Moderation ;)

Take your traditional recipes, cut them in half(ish), and adjust water volume to bring them down to the 1.030 range. That's a good starting point.

Buck a beer goes to charity and brain cancer research. Doing my part #HeroView attachment 741237

Lost a friend in his 40's to brain cancer. Pretty ****** :(
 
Yesterday's festivities (there's an aqua fresco in there, sandia)

Crazy how my stomach hasn't been crazy at all...it's sad how the stresses of work and general life can impact our bodies.

Bottoms up ladies and 'gents

Also, corona de barril es mas bueno! Completely different...substantially better, really quite nice.

Very generous!

My friend made it another 4ish years, after diagnosis, until cancer beat him.
I've worked on some crazy projects and medical is the last field I've never worked in. It's not a money maker from a product standpoint Years ago medical was suppose to be the next hot engineering thing. I was lucky enough to interview with doctors at Dana Farber. There was a huge space between medical and the engineering fields. Unfortunately it's the distribution of funding. I don't even think it's really the money but management. When I retire I'd like to see if I could work in the field for free.

My grandma died a long time ago to brain cancer when I was young. That's when treatment was really bad. She fought for about 4 years too.
 
I try not to vent on forums too often, but I'm over the top here in Canada. Blockades from Victoria to Halifax full of non-masked in front of medical institutions. I helped re-vamp a Hospital powerhouse here in YYC a few years back so everyone would be safer...

There seems to be no empathy for those who are scared by Cancer, woken up in Hospital or DELAYED Ambulance by these types of selfish, idiotic people.

Be safe, fellow brewers...I....I just don't understand. My Sister is in Health Care, and has a job to 'Jab' unfortunate folks from the street every..single...day.

Dear God...what is happening?

Ay, be careful with reusing those New Belgium bottles. They aren't the toughest/thickest glass. I've got scars on my left hand to prove it. I was opening a bottle once, neck broke, and cut my left hand across three fingers. I didn't know it until I saw the blood.
I think it can happen with any bottle. I had the top of a Dogfish Head bottle come off in my hand while opening. Those are usually pretty sturdy. That was not a beer I brewed or bottled, got it as part of a homebrew club exchange. Fortunately I did not get cut on that one. I had another random longneck with no markings where the whole neck of the bottle came off after I capped it and was placing it in the box. I took a deep cut on my thumb from that one. Lucky I didn’t need stitches. Like you said, glass will cut you so fast and easy you won’t even know you’ve been cut until you see blood. I wear gloves now when filling and capping bottles. And I’m careful opening them. I use a long opener now like one of these whenever I’m opening homebrew. Mine or any given to me.

I didn't draw blood, but I've had a couple crumble on me as well. The rest got thrown out.
