Bout darn time!!

Been sick for little over 3 weeks, have not had a single brew during this time. I poured me one for lunch today, thought I would share my first in a while. It's a RCE Chocolate-Cherry Stout. Nice and powerful, taste great to the last drop. She has some age on her, I think she's just now coming into her own. First time in a whilie I've been able to strum the stratocaster without butchering it. :hammer:

Looks great (and so does the Fender!)
I am pretty sure I told you that I thought that beer was very enjoyable. My stout was just blah on that RCE and Dave's gushed so you're the clear RCE winner on that one. :)
Glad you're feeling better. No go and turn that guitar way up and melt the snow!

yep'rs, u did. Thanks for that, I wish y'alls would have turned out as good. Still needs some changes but I won't brew it again til next fall.

I had it cranked pretty good this am, sent the dog running! Don't know if that's a good thing... LOL, but I had the amp pretty heated. I'm looking for a new one, seriously thinking about the Fender Blues Jr. I like tube amps, they have a warm feeling SS just can't produce.

Looks nice. I did enjoy the one you sent me. Paul's, too.

Which reminds me, I bottled a new batch of the NillaMilk a couple weeks ago, and I really should send you guys a bottle (along with a Fedora Brauhaus original brew). I'll have to dig through my saved emails for your addresses, but expect a package in early March.

I felt mine was weak and it was hard to believe it had oatmeal in it.
No worries about sending me anything Dave, unless they're gushers! :) I assume you've worked out whatever problem that was. I haven't had one in a while but my twin had a few bottles do that but the others hadn't and we're not sure why.

Actually, I believe I did work out the problem -- I assume it was infections settling into some micro-scratches on one of my LBKs, which has since been given the ol' heave-ho. I'll see how this batch shapes up (way too early to even think about opening a tester). It shouldn't be a gusher, if my theory is correct.

Good luck with it Dave, I've thrown away several fermentors I could feel scratches in. They are too cheap to risk a good batch, even though I think I learned the hard way myself.
