In a pretty good mood right now. Finally got to brew tonight after too long of an abstention.

Rick, I know, right?

I had to shelve the brewing in late March when we put our house on the market and would have realtors and buyers roaming all through it for the next 3 months. After we moved into the new house, it took a long time to get things situated and then I didn't brew until 3-4 weeks ago.

What an awesome feeling. Except I had to look stuff up like rehydrating, etc that I had forgotten how to do in the interim. Wife was out of town and I started brewing at 11:30 am with a beer. By the time I was done cleaning up I was a little more drunk than I'd planned on being at that stage. Nothing a few hours of sleep didn't cure.

My wife and I are going camping here for 5 days. See you when we get back.
I'm bringing a 5 gal corny of my "poor man's ale" to get rid of it. It's ok, but I used baker's yeast, and it's ... eh. Don't want to serve it to guests, so this is a great time to blow it out. From now on, I'll only use baker's yeast in a real hoppy IPA or a stout, where you won't notice it so much. This is a pale ale.
Baker's yeast only saves you about $3 on a batch. But it's good to have in the fridge in case you run out of yeast, and like I say it works fine in a bitter stout or IPA. Just don't use it in a balanced or malty beer ... the flavor of it kind of takes over. It's like british style x 2.

Have fun on your trip. Why not just wash some "GOOD" yeast, and then you've got it for free.

Your making beer with bakers yeast and the vet is selling brewers yeast as a doggie nutritional supplement. What's the world coming to.

Just finished brewing a 5er of an American Ale. It was FD's recipe that while came out drinking good the first time, I missed some marks... Unfortunatly, afetr I crushed my grains, I found out they diddn't have my hops, so I had to make a change. I hit all my numbers, but the flavor will be a bit different. Looks like I have to make it a third time, just to get it right.....

That map is a Billy Joel Song right there.

Well I'm on the Downeaster "Alexa"
And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound
I have charted a course to the Vineyard
But tonight I am Nantucket bound

We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday
And left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay

Dag,
it would only suck if the beer did, and the first was really good, and I think the second will be as well. Third times a charm for brewing like it was intended though...
