Wow! Had to move the brewery to the deck today. Too nice for the shop.
Brewing up a Blonde and an IPA maybe a brown too if time permits. Time to get Christmas gift beer rolling. Kinda down to the wire for bottle conditioning by the big day.
I had a night like that last Friday. Started brewing after work, no wind at all, nice temperature and start to finish including cleaning was 4.5 hours (all grain).
The blonde is a 90 boil cuz pilsner. So I think the brown ain’t gonna happen. I won’t be boiling the IPA till about 2…
Beautiful view, Mr. Jim!
Hey, too cool! That’s a cinder cone type volcano back there.
We have the shield type volcanoes here.
Full moon tonight. I’ll be doing the traditional overnight full moon “brewing session” tonight.
Yeah sweet view.
I’ve been busy making wine for the last six weeks and everything is now caught up. I thought I might brew a bitter last night, then I remembered I have one in a fermentor in the basement. So I cleaned kegs instead. Not as much fun. Also split some firewood, definitely not as much fun.
Did firewood yesterday. Glad it’s done.
The one behind the mash tun is Mt Hood.
Off the other side of the deck is Mt Adams. We got a new neighbor over there this summer. Didn’t mess up the view too bad.
Wow, that’s pretty scenic. Beautiful!
Thanks guys. We’re pretty lucky. I’m hoping the beauty shows up in the final product
Killer scenery. I gotta find a state with a view. :( PNW someday, I’m thinking.
You don’t have a view of The Brickyard? 
No fair! Volcano porn for a lava junky! ;D
I can only see two from my house. Hood is about 50 miles away. Adams is about 20. From a hill south of my place you can see Rainier Adams St Helens Hood and Jefferson
Nope. Been there many times but the Brickyard sits smack in …ummmm…a less than scenic part of Indy
I should have taken the day off to brew. It’s far too nice outside this late in the year to be stuck in the office.
Definitely jealous, from someone who grew up in sight of Wy’east (Hood) and Loowit (Helens). Up here in Seattle we only get Tacoma (Rainier), and Kulshan (Baker) if you’ve got a good north view. But we also get the North Cascades and Olympics on clear days, so it comes out even.
Punatic, you ever been out to Central Oregon? The obsidian flow at Newberry Crater is a sight.
On the drive from Bend to the coast there’s a pretty spectacular lava field. Is that it?
Beautiful area there Jim and nice looking brew set up!
Well that’s just a beautiful sight.
That’s definitely not the Newberry Crater flow; you have to take a road east off highway 97 to get there. Well worth the trip. I see a couple different lava fields on the map west of Bend, so you’ll have to be more specific about which highway you’re referring to.
