Does anyone care that much? :unsure:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Not at all.  Re-read the last page or so.  I never asked for it.. that's a strawman you introduced and then Raz fell for. :hmm:

Prying into people's lives and then pretend you aren't.  Typical of a human resources guy.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I'm realizing now that we have reached a point where pretty much anywhere you go in the US, you can order an unknown beer in a style you like and it's near-certain it will be good.

Go us. :)

Or conversely, you can order most anything made by a well-reputed brewery & be confident that it will be well-made.  I remember in the 90s a lot of beer geeks were worried that the microbrew trend would die out and we'd be back to seeing Bud, Miller, & Heineken as the choices in most places.

So I brewed my IPA over the weekend.  Even though I was brewing in the garage, the whole house smelled of roasted grains and later pungent Columbus and Simcoe hops.  Did everything the right way & didn't take any shortcuts other than using some malt extract (might build a mash tun in the future). 

Keeping my fingers crossed-- most people I hang out with are either home brewers or professional brewers, so the bar is pretty high.

I am drinking my afternoon mint tea.   :bowler:



I bought some beer about two weeks ago.  I was on my way home from work so I was still wearing my suit, but I also had on my prescription sunglasses (it was bright outside and I was too lazy to switch to my regular glasses).  And I was carded!?!  39 years of age and they asked for some ID.   :lol:

Got home yesterday and the airlock was bubbling like a mofo.  That Austrian BRY-97 yeast is doing its job.  I had never used dry yeast before & was a little skeptical when the homebrew shop dude told me just to sprinkle it on dry, but so far so good.

I should probably go ahead and bottle the mead that's been sitting in my secondary fermenter for three years now. :lol:

That's probably how procrastinating vikings did it.  I'm guessing mead stays drinkable more or less indefinitely?

Well I hope so, as it fermented out to 35 proof. :cool:

Wow.  What kind of yeast did you use?  That has to be about the upper limit to what you can get without distilling.

Some champagne yeast... I forget the exact strain (think it was from Lalvin).
