You are quoting yourself… does your therapist know about this?
Me, I can’t keep up… for the first time since November I am at risk of having to drink commercial beer in my own home… Brewing 10 gallons of house APA tomorrow, then 4 days of UK. The current keg is at a little over 1/4 :o I need to just brew until I have a bunch of kegs in stock…gives 'em more time to settle down too…
Man, this is WORK! ;D
Nothing this weekend. Dry hopping an ipa and back sweetening a cider. Need to kill my keg of black ipa to free up the keg! Just the easy stuff! 
My therapists name is Dr. Jack Daniels and I’ve explained this to him in detail. He didn’t see any problems.
He part of the same firm as Jim Beam and Evan Williams ?
You got it. Quality shrink firm they got.
mead, first attempt. nine months from now it will be ready. problem with it is at least four months it’s in the carboy.
Turns out I will not be brewing. I think i have the flu.
At last year’s NHC, there was a mead panel of some excellent mead makers. To a man they said if you follow a staggered nutrient addition schedule (take your total yeast nutrient addition, divide it by 8 - add 1 portion every morning and 1 every night for 4 days) you can have a mead up and drinkable in 3 months, no problem.
They then poured meads to prove the point.
Also, I would transfer at the end of a month anyway to get rid of sediment.
No brewing…hosting the 13th annual Domras Cup Mead-only competition at my home…for the 13th year in a row.
It’s nice to have “leftovers” lying around for a few weeks!
On Sunday I will be brewing a Southern English Brown all grain.
Mashed in on this rainy morning. I hope I don’t have to remain this beer with a situation appropriate name. I’ve had a skunk traipsing around my house for about an hour. He almost made it into the garage a few minutes ago.
We brewed 10gals of Gnome Houblon in keggle yesterday, note to self never brew 10gal in a keggle again, ever!
Black IPA is planned. Might not manage it though, as I need to prep for floor sanding.
Curious as to why not? All my 10g batches have been in my keggle…
No brewing this weekend here.
Nothing here. I was supposed to be working 23 hours today, but I threw my back out yesterday. I can barely walk…
Very sorry to hear that Denny. I’ve had my share of back problems so I can relate.
I’m just mashed in on a Terrapin Rye Pale Ale clone. I’m using the recipe from BYO with some adjustments. The hop schedule in the recipe must be off…Beersmith had it calculated at 79 IBU, while the recipe said it should be 45. I dialed the hop amounts down to get it in range so I hope it comes out OK.
13.9gals wort coming to a boil… yeah 2 small boilovers.
No thanks
;D I figured that was it. Ya definitely gotta monitor closely and throttle the gas until the hot break! I like to boil vigorously so even after the break, I don’t whack it open and walk away. Cheers.
Yea…sorry to hear about your back Denny.
Hope it gets better so you can brew some more beer.
Sorry to hear about your back, Denny. Gettin’ old sucks, don’t it? ;) Made that Cascadian dark ale yesterday. Chilled it in the snow, (couldn’t get to an outside faucet). Thinking the Brewmaster 3000 needs to get started again. Getting too old to hump around 15 gallon kettles.
