Ok, shut up. I found them.

Where the hell did the other Michigan topics go?

I've been into my Octoberfest Mod Gen IV and my Pale Ale (PHP Mod Gen V) tonite. I had dialed in the PHP Mod after Gen II but it took until Gen IV to get the Octofest right. No zinc from "stainless" washers this time (Gen I) and no overbearing or mismatched hops which I did on Gen's II and...

4 weeks ago I brewed an Octoberfest Vienna Lager Mod (Mod III) and bottled it last weekend. 3 weeks ago I brewed a Pilothouse Pilsner Mod (Mod IV or V by now) and will bottle it this weekend. I may actually have an Octoberfest to drink of my own making this year! Last year I timed it wrong and it wa...

Winter we've got not much issue with differences but in summer, she still sleeps with the full comforter on and I'm usually left sleeping on the outside of the covers completely.
