Thank you for that! :borg:
Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain.
Quaintest thoughts — queerest fancies,
Come to life and fade away:
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today.

– Edgar Allan Poe

Thanks Louie.
Got some new ideas from the pictures and descriptions in the article!

Helps to get, as Gallagher used to say, "new eyes" on a subject! :D

It looks a lot like what I just did with my first brewers best… except I added LME and DME after the steep

I do my BIAB almost exactly the way it was described in the article. It's comforting to read that I'm apparently doing something right.
Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into
Are awake through years with transferred touch and go on glowing
For long years.
And for this reason some old things are lovely
Warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.

― D.H. Lawrence
