and those nights they don't want to get out of the tub (tun?) is a mash. one night I the 5 y/o was in the tun so long I had to do a triple decot mash on him. sparging was a bastid though...

Why do they all hate the sparge so much?

Looks like I'll be heading down to Aldi to clean out their supply of cider.

And the cider is good too. Throw some dark rum in it and you got yourself a Friday night!

Good to know I'm not the only one who likes rum in cider. I made a graff with an addition of black heart spiced rum. It's awesome.

...When you're booting up the computer in the morning,& decide to look at the newest copy of "Great Lakes Brewing News" you discovered at the lhbs the day before. I'd gone in to get some American oak chips for my Whiskely Stout I'm gunna brew up next Saturday,& an Italian spigot to replace the barrel tap that got stiff on the Ale Pail.
Anyway,I was leafing through the brewing news paper,& found maps with the breweries marked on them somwhere in the middle for the surrounding states!! Roads,highways & all! you guys gotta pick this up,volume 18,number 5.
It'll make a downright handy brewery tour guide. Just had to let y'all know about this one!:rockin:

When you discover mold in your basement, and instead of worrying about any effects your health, you worry about your nearby fermenters getting contaminated.

(They were fine, by the way...crisis averted!)

When you change your beer purchase expense category in quicken from "alcohol" to "research". 😃

 

[MaxStout]

When you are pondering a beer purchase in the liquor store, and it's a close tie between one or the other, your choice is based on how suitable the bottles would be for home brew.

And, yes, I've done that.

Exactly! I just thought twice about buying a 4 pack of Surly Bender. I can't get it close to home. It's excellent, but comes in cans. 😥. In the end I of course bought it. I compared side to side with my clone kit. My wife actually preferred mine 😃

My wife loves it when I bring home Green Flash West Coast IPA for her. I secretly covet the bottles of this fine brew.

Yes but I tried to bottle in their bottles and I couldn't get the cap on. I think it was the a
Le Freak. Cap just wouldn't fit. You able to bottle in these?

I've never had an issue bottling in Green Flash bottles.

Haha, I've definitely planned a couple "mental health days" around my brewing schedule...or is it vice versa?
