Getting my brewing on!

Post by LouieMacGoo »

Today has been a pretty productive day! With my daughter's grad party right around the corner (4 weeks) there is a lot to do to get the yard and house ready to show off. I worked in the yard and got the garden beds cleaned up and got my hops planted that I started in pots last year. I also managed to make a trip down to my LHBS and picked up new pressure gauge for my CO2 regulator and every thing I needed to brew my Oberon clone. So now I sit here having mashed, sipping on a Nong Irish Red waiting for my next hop addition. Yes it is a little late here and it will be some time after midnight before I'm done but man does it feel good to be brewing again!

Life is good! :fedora: :cheers:

good to see you brewing, Louie
"Filled 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;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."

Very nice, Leigh. I always appreciate the time during the boil and between hop additions, myself. It's a great time to RDWHAHB.

Well, not really, no. More like the Homebrewing Forum Overseer hasn't made homebrew in awhile.

It's a slightly different scenario, yet the irony holds true.
