I've been brewing for many years and I live in brew-town, so it's a surprise that I never did this until yesterday: I went to a brewpub and they have windows into the brewery. I went and admired the toys, and followed the line from mash tun to boil kettle to big pump to massive plate chiller to fermenter. The owner?brewer? noticed me looking and we chatted for a bit. That was kinda cool.
 
shopped successfully for specialty grains for my American PA. got a starter of WLP001 going. prepped for the brew day tomorrow. happy b'day me.
 
I'm visiting Oklahoma, so my SIL and I just went to get a collection of nice local brews for later while we all watch Wisconsin basketball.
 
I really didn't know where else to put this fact; I just feel the need to admit to the community that, on my laptop, the bookmark to HomeBrewTalk is renamed "BeerPorn."

Thank you for listening.

:p

I worked up a recipe to try to clone Alaskan Hopothermia. Should be a good brew this weekend.
 
Started making a chalk board tap handle today, and fixed (temporarily) my foamy kegerator pours by shooting CO2 into the "out" post.

And I got my Homebrewtalk.com stickers in the mail! Cheers.
 
Bought 2#'s of crystal 60 for some future IPA's I'll brew. Also got more whirfloc tabs. I am going to bottle my CDA this weekend, Monday at the latest.
 
Today, for the cause of beer, I awoke early, made a big waffles and eggs breakfast for the family, and cleaned up the kitchen afterward.

And for this, I will brew without harassment tomorrow :rockin:
 
I didn't actually do this today; I did it last week...

Swapped out my standard faucets for Perlicks.

WOW! What an upgrade!!!
 
Got the priming solution cooling for the kottbusser finally. Had a bottle of Oculto & some vodka to ease my back & hip pain to get to bottling. :drunk: Wife wouldn't let oldest mutli-handicapped son watch cable upstairs, so I got to babysit a 33 year old with the mind of a 10 year old all day. At least he likes this old house & victory garden.
 
Finally finished my grain mill! :rockin:

Something I've been meaning to do for a few weeks now and just in time for my first all-grain brew day tomorrow!

Got my kottbusser bottled. Got 52-12oz bottles. Funny tha the beer was only slightly misty. Cloudy FG sample was due to the fact that the spigot was almost completely plugged. And it sits higher than the other Fv or the bottling bucket? That grain mill looks really different. Hopper reminds me of the old metal jugs grandpa had.:mug:

I suppose that differentiates it from your actual porn tab...
