last week got my leaking propane tank replaced from a hardware store instead of walmart.. night and day. this tank was pristine.. painted fresh.. brand new control valve. beautiful. the one I got from walmart looked like they took someones 10 year old tank and just refilled it.. rusty.. got a leak detector, tested on the leaky tank before the exchange and it worked like it should..yay.
last weak I cooked up a limeade wheat beer that im fond of. Monday I cooked up a leftovers witbier. made a mistake and added my final hop addition 10 minutes early but who cares? hit the og. had krausen in less than 10 hrs..yay.
next week? weather permitting a Russian imperial stout. after that an ipa.. I missed this. got lots of shiny new lme and hops.

Congrats and welcome back!
Man, I know the feeling...I just brewed my first AG recipe in I don't know how long on Sunday! It's good to be brewing again and I'm already planning more recipes!

Re: back in the saddle again
Keep it going and hit your stride. Although it might be getting pretty hot in your hometown for all that boiling.

Re: back in the saddle again
i try to schedule brewing for weekend , early am... barring wind and humidity. I can throw a tarp up over me hooked up to the gutters and fence for a makeshift solar screen. got 48 lbs of lme of dark, wheat and golden variety.. and a good amount of hops. looking to go nuts this year brewing 2.5 - 3 gallon batches. my hernias make 5 gallons and up kind of unlikely.
hope to harvest the 2 batches of yeast ive got going now. wlp300 and wlp400. . . but one thing at a time.
