Pinging the list!
I’m thirsty.
Just got off work and am relaxing with a smoke and a glass of home brewed lager and a comfortable chair.
Happy Friday.

Just finished a keg of pale ale I made a few weeks ago, used 1 pound of wheat dme to kick up the abv, and it was great. It was done as a demonstration of how easy it is to make beer and had 4 or 5 untrained helpers. The beer came out great and pissed off some of my more proper brewing friends because of the seeming lack of “expertise”. I’ve always said that if you keep your equipment clean and don’t pick up any infections the beer will be good,even if it’s not what you expected. To quote:
“Once, a long, long time ago, God created sugar. After a time he realized he had made too much, and so, created something to take care of the excess. This thing he called yeast. After a time he realized the yeast was creating a noxious gas, that he called “CO2”, and a bubbly liquid, which he called “laughing juice”. Next he created trees to eat the noxious gas and was disturbed to find that they exuded an inert gas, which he called “oxygen”. As a solution to all the problems caused by sugar he created “MAN”, and renamed the bubbly liquid “BEER”. Those who know the truth are now happy, and fruitful of the loins. The rest are called “LIBERALS”, and they wait, impatiently, for their own solution.”
Beer is the answer. If only I could remember the question.”
Enjoying an Altbier that I brewed back in April that is no doubt the best beer that I’ve ever brewed. Sadly, the keg seems to be getting awfully light....
Excellent beer except the alcohol content is too high for me. I can drink at most two without getting drunky.
