It's not weird - it's "devilish"

My truck is packed and we are heading into the mountains of WV for what we hope is an awesome ski trip. #1 goal is to "arrive alive" before the storm cranks up Friday morning. We'll hunker down, ski all day Fri / Sat / Sun and let the WVDOT clear the roads for my drive home Sunday evening....

Jan 5 - 2 gal of Forbidden Fruit Hard Cider.

They are inexpensive, fit nicely on the shelves where I brew and they seem to last. From a cost persective 2 LBKs are ch...

Today is my last full day at work. Tomorrow I will go in and leave right after my retirement party which starts at 9AM. I think it is very honorable that you are going to work for one day immediately after a holiday weekend. Most guys wouldn't do that. Enjoy your new adventures and wish me luck on ...

Here she is topless showing off her Irish Red. Since "she" has a spigot, should she be a he? Maybe I'll name her / him Jenner?

I'm off to the brew shop to make this today!

Just kegged this batch today. It's on standby waiting for my Stupid Easy Cider keg to get kicked off (shoudl be tonight)

Now it needs to be refilled. I'm looking at some Irish Red extract recipes ...
