Racked my first attempt at scottland's DFH 90 Minute clone to a keg. Can't wait to try it in a few days (ok... maybe a week).
 
Sniffed at the bubbles coming out of my Flying Dog IPA clone from the fermenter...went to work, came home with dinner, sat it down, and then went to check my beer again before eating. Call me crazy but nothing smells better than a fermenting IPA
 
Went to my first homebrew club meeting. Had my Oberon clone critiqued. Good feedback. Not bad for only my second brew!
 
Checked my two recently planted rhizomes for signs of life.

It's alllliiiivvve!
 
Drank homebrew.
Checked on my three fermenting batches.
Called various welders on pricing for modifying my banjo cooker (raising the burner closer to the top).
Debated on when to brew my next batch(s), Thinking of next wednesday
 
Tore apart my Barley Crusher and cleaned it
Milled grain for this weekend's Vienna
Dumped a half keg of 3 year old barleywine to make room for a Green Flash IPA clone
 
Drove 40 miles round trip over my lunch hour to score 2 bottles of Pliney and get them securely nestled in my fridge at home. Going to enjoy them while brewing a DFH 60 Minute clone tonight!
 
Continued to clean equipment. I've been lazy, yet I want everything clean sooner rather than the night before I brew again.
 
Just received my basic brewing kit from Midwest Supply (thanks Groupon). Delabeled Some bottles and triple checking that I have acquired everything that I will need to brew my first batch Saturday. I Cant wait to get addicted to this hobby. :D

I'm originally from Michigan but living in Hawaii now and can't get Oberon. I would love to have this recipe. I'm new to brewing too. Brewing my first batch Saturday. Thanks in advance
 
I came home from a week on the road, and checked my sweet new brew before I said hi, and kissed my sweet loving nice great awesome fantastic girl!! She was mad! are u happy beer? Damn it I have two girl friends! But one Is not a girl its a beer
 
got the stuff to brew my milk chocolate stout. Just got to bottle my last batch to make room for it now
 
Kegged my first batch of BM's Centennial Blond this morning and am slowly cleaning the equipment I didn't finish cleaning yesterday after brewing a batch of porter. I also have to clean the carboy that held the blond. I better wait another hour until noon and then beer will make it all better on this beautiful day in Portland.
 
This weekend, I'm upgrading a kegerator that I bought recently. I got in a new triple tap tower yesterday, and today I received my new regulator, five way co2 manifold, and ball lock connectors. I'll actually have a total of 5 taps on this kegerator, as it will have two towers on it. I also have an additional 3 tap kegerator, so I'll have a total of 8 taps at end state. :)
 
Cleaned up the yeast slurry that had shot out of my growler of starter and leaked onto my counter. I hope there is still enough to have a decent pitch. I also cleaned some bottles, received my 2nd keg in the mail, and I put watered my hops. Now I am drinking my saison and relaxing!
 
Bought a dozen 16 oz bottles for .20c each. Then into supermarket (which has a great selection) and bought some beers I haven't tried yet. Now sitting in front of a open fire drinking a double chocolate stout :)
 
Drank some Grolsch so I can re-use the bottles. The beer wasn't that good, but the bottles rock!
 
ordered 6 lbs of hops from hopsdirect. will be here middle next week. got a brew weekend coming up next week to refill empty fermenters :D
