A friend of mine bought a church and has concerts and parties there. The first couple of times I attended it felt a little strange sitting in a pew and drinking beer. He's a savvy real estate guy so he probably got a good deal on it.

Well, here I sit, all along with a broken heart I took three bennies, and my semi-truck won't start.

Jackson Browne has some lines that I can ponder for years. From Walking Slow Don't know why I'm happy I've got no reason to feel this good Maybe it's because I'm all alone and I've got no place to go And everywhere I look I see another person I'll never know

Every line in that song is inspired.

Don't hit me no more mister, I'm dying as fast as I can.

Welcome!

A good test for any person or couple that considers themselves minimalists.

Years ago I searched the racks at JC Penny for my size pants (32W 34L). After no success, I asked for help. "We don't carry that size" said the guy, and he was kind of smug about it. That was my last shopping experience at JC Penny.

We should have known that asbestos, miracle product that it was, had a downside. But back in the day, if you had welding/cutting/gouging slag directed your way, you could take an asbestos fire blanket and make a poncho out of it. Way better than leather sleeves, except for the fact that it might...

A shack with a tee box, that's cool!

I do a brew in the bag, no sparge mash. I need a finer crush or I lose efficiency. And it only takes a few minutes to run it through my Corona mill so it's not that big of a deal.

A Belgian triple with Brett added at bottling.

I took about 20 years off myself, I can relate. But I'm happy to be back in the game.

Tuesday I had my first golf lesson since I started playing again. The guy knows his stuff and had me hitting better shots in just a few mnutes. A couple of easy changes in my setup and a downswing move that will get me more open at impact. Here's hoping it only takes 10,000 or so shots to...

Sure seems like a strange comment from Wyeast. Maybe the rep just didn't want to be bothered. That aside, I've never looked for or expected much yeast expression from Wyeast 3787, especially in a Belgian dark strong. If you are looking for more, the only thing I can think of is to let the...

WTF? So he fired multiple times without a target to aim at, apparently in pure panic mode. He needs to turn in his badge. BTW, I lived in Okaloosa county for about 15 years (in the last century) and the local law enforcement impressed me as more professional than most fwiw.

That would work, especially if your first beer's original gravity is not too high, but I'd rather overbuild a starter and save some of that yeast. Alternatively, 3787 is a top cropping yeast and you could harvest fresh krausen from the first batch if your risk tolerance and fermenter allow you...

Dear guy in the Carhartt overalls, You should be a character actor on the big screen, not sitting around in the doctor's waiting room. And if you begin a story with "My first snake bite was a copperhead", please stay on topic and tell us about your other snake bite(s). I've been wondering all...

Recently I decided to try a few different primary yeasts with brett. including Omega Belgian Ale A and Lallemand Abbaye. Too soon to judge, really, but the Omega yeast is showing promise two months after brew day. BTW, is anybody else using SafBrew BR-8, the dry brett yeast? I have four small...

I quit using Northern Brewer because it would take them weeks sometimes to deliver and their minimum for free shipping is not competitive with, say, Morebeer. Having said that, I recently (and reluctantly) placed an order (for a hard to find item) with them that was filled satisfactorily. Now...
