Hello Borg!

I haven't been posting much, bu I have been around a bit more lately, and, I wanted to let you guys know I brewed my first batch since March!!!

The wife and I were out messing around on Sunday and decided to check out the brew store. Well, while I was there I couldn't help but check some things out. I got a propane burner so I can brew in the garage and not bother the wife and a new fermentor. Well, we then saw a recipe for a hazel nut brown, and since it is almost fall and a beer both of us could enjoy I decided to get it. I was going to brew something different, maybe one of my recipes, but it didn't look like the LHBS had the hops, and I hadn't figured out the recipe yet so I just went for it, and we weren't busy that evening so I decided to just brew!

It felt pretty good to brew again, and even though I missed my target fermentor volume I think this will turn out good! I only ended up with 4 or so gallons, so I need to work on my BIAB techniques.

Other than that, the LHBS is great, the owner is real nice, and it's only about 5 minutes down the road!!

I am also keeping an eye on craigslist, because a kegerator is coming real soon. I have the money squirreled away, and a 1 keg kit, complete with CO2 tank is only $240.

Enough messing around with the wife.....get to brewing and show us pictures (of the beer).

Pics of the wife or it didn't happen...

Good to see you're brewing again, Jim. It'll be great to get back to your regular schedule, if you had one. I'm looking forward to regular Sunday brewing myself.

JH, you've been around here long enough to know what them statements will get ya'
Good for you brewing again, keep us posted

Awesome Jim.

How are you liking the new digs? Have you started the job yet or still settling in?

Oh Jeez. I guess I left myself open for all that.

As for pictures, I could post some, I just haven't figured that out. I have the Tapatalk app, but it won't let me post pictures since I don't have a tapatalk account(?) and posting straight from the mobile device or iPad the photo size is too large.

Birds: The new digs are great! It's got plenty of space for brewing and entertaining, and the front windows have GREAT view of Mt. Rainier. I am on my second week of work. It's going pretty good. Settled into the house, now settling into the community. Been trying to find our hangout pub, and so far we have been to 4 different brew pubs, and there are like 10 more to try.

You'll find your groove soon enough with pubs eateries and hangouts.
