Congrats, my brother used to raise hogs, seemed like he did pretty good on selling the pork and the pigs both.

I've raised feeder pigs for a lot of years, use to give my Mom and Dad and my in-laws 1/2 a pig for Christmas every year, and I had a big family to feed back then also. Now just me and the wife, but I sure do miss going out to the freezer and getting some pork out. That's why I'm doing it again. Nothing like home raised loins, bacon, ribs, hams, and chops......and a roast now and then.

Always a fantastic day when its a Tuesday, 65 degrees, and your making beer outside at 10am

Don't rub it in! While it is nice here too I am in the middle of a Twilight Zone thing, I'm receiving parts I did not order from a vendor I have never heard of, packing slip shows part I ordered last week from another vendors vendor with us as ship to, AND NOBODY KNOWS WHAT ANY OF IT MEANS!!!

Oh D! On Tuesdays at 65 you're supposed to start at 9:45am... starting late already this soon in your new life?




@Dawg

sorry you clearly deserve a homebrew

My daughter is in Kindergarten. One of her homework assignments this week was coming up with words that start with certain letters. Tonight it was the letter G. She came up with green, then grass, then she said grain. She looked at me, pointed to me and said "you use grain to make beer".

I'm such a proud dad....and it's only a matter of time before she spouts that off in class and I get called into the principles office.

Grolsch, Gravity, and Grist would work as well Maybe those are 1st grade words.

Have a 6 pack ready for the principle just in case you get called in. That should fix it. And add in one of the beer glasses with your logo on it in case of future problems.

I'm sure the Principal will want to discuss the principles that your raise your daughter under - i.e. whether she is involved in your brewing. The Principal's principles may not be the same as your principles.

Good thing she was only up to G, not P...

No time at all probably... next up is H and when she uses hops your on the way and the thermostat on the seat is on high.

Wait till krausen, wort, sparge, come up and her teacher gives her a bad grade for words that he or she thinks isn't a word!

There will be a test...

That list is awesome. I'm pretty sure the teacher will need this.

When my son was in 3rd grade, he had to come up with words also and tried to stump the teacher. He used words with lots of syllables and tried to stump her, and did. I wasn't brewing though for another 12 or so years.
