Sorry I disappeared so quickly from the boards. Work has been rather hectic and it was and still is, difficult for me to find time to spend as much time on the boards as I used to. Even work on more brewing articles has come to a grinding halt.
But I’m still brewing on occasions. Sometimes even w/o taking any pH measurements :). I didn’t think it would ever come to that. But hopefully I’ll find more time for the brewing work in the future.
I saw that my Kraeusen article got published and I’ll open a thread on that in the Zymurgy section of the board, if that hasn’t been done yet.
Oh, and we also adopted a dog (Weimaraner/Chocolate Lab mix I think) which is keeping me busy.
Will always look forward to your posts/articles when ever you can get to them!!! Cute pup!!! You’ll have to teach him to fetch the spoon or hydrometer, or ?
Kai, sometimes you got to do what you got to do at work. Projects, reviews and production deadlines were always a time of going balls out (an engineering reference that goes back to the days of the flyball governer). I don’t miss it.
Get over the work crunch, keep the family first in your mind, train the puppy, and make some beer. Stop back in and say hello when time allows.
