I want to brew a clone. Hell, I want to brew. My panel has been under repair for a bit. :( I suppose it is all by design since I can't really lift a lot right now. I'm frustrated that my stuff just sits.

More coffee. I've taken to laying around in bed until 11 the last two days. What a waste of a day but I really like the idea of dozing off whenever. I need to get up and go to the market. I came home to no food in the house (thanks Mama Hello) and a serious lack of hair product. :D

Dude, so good! Gonna be a weekend staple for me now.

Mash is rolling, paperwork filled out, bout to go get more water since I really wasn't planning to brew until last night. Gonna be a nice brewday at 55 degrees and sunny.

Brewing up an impromptu saison today. Bout to shower/heat strike water after having one of the best breakfasts I've even cooked or probably had anywhere. Breakfast quesadilla! Took two fried/scrambled almost cooked eggs and put that on top of a layer of shredded pepper jack, then topped the eggs with sliced chipotle chicken and more cheese. Absolutely incredible. Why is this not more common?!

Because it would be way easier to eat if it was a burrito?:D

Guessing you already bottled. But if the pellicle is that developed, esp in a carboy where you should have less oxygen, AND it tastes good I'm Guessing youd be ok. Depends on how long it say though. I would've gone easy on the carb levels for sure



I've had uninte tional sours 2 ways. One where it Definitely seemed to be on its way to sourville. And 2 others that just tasted off. Weird tangy off flavors in the finish, likely due to me stubbornly ignoring my water profile. Definitely not Brett or lacto flavors developing since I seem to enjoy those. Adding a souring blend for a few months fixed every one of them. If you like sours though

Yeah it's all bottled up. Tasted just fine. Slightly tart. I'm wondering if my slurry wasn't infected all along, all three batches I've brewed off if it have been seriously tart. No pellicles though. If it turns out I'll send you a couple.

While I'm busting balls this morning, adding brett/lacto to bad beer doesn't make good beer.

Still sipping coffee and watching preseason baseball. Supposed to be 80* today, really wish I were brewing. The grains are sitting in the garage mocking me.

Took an orange off the tree in the backyard, it's the kids favorite toy right now.

@blizzard did you drink yours yet?

Had it a couple months ago. It actually wasn't bad. No off flavors, but also no cherries and not that sour either. Pretty boring overall.

@slym, apparently rye is just one tough sob. Pretty much none of it was crush coming from the LHBS. Then my blender couldn't really do much either. Expecting poor efficiency. Might mash for 90 mins to see if it helps. Chill brew day, so the extra time won't kill me.

It really is an almost literal tough nut to crack. About killed my POS blender. I am getting ready to go back to the HB store to get it crushed for tonight's brew, just PKU'ing here first.

Good luck, man!

Put it in a Baggie and smack it with a rolling pin or meat mallet. Or a rubber hammer.

I was too tipsy to express this to you last night.

is that view from "Christ The Redeemer" hill? Rio has such a spectacular setting. Jealous as flock. Have "Her name is Rio" in my head now.

That is a beautiful looking beer, day and brewing setup. Such a colorful picture. The orange of the beer, the blue sky and fluffy clouds. Great image, says it all about the mood that would put you in.

Was at the zoo this morning. Cold and sunny day here. Checked my IPA from yesterday this morning. I'd forgotten how amazing IPAs smell when they are fermenting.

I love the smell of hops in the morning (apparently).

No, that's in Tijuca forest at a lookout called Chinese view. You can't see it because of the clouds (and zoom level), but Christ the Redeemer is at the top of the tall mountain on the left in that photo.

Had this with lunch.

Sure does like the weather to be enjoying a Cerveja Pilsen (whatever the hell that is). My Brazilian is not as good as my Mexican unfortunately.
 
Grapefruit Sculpin after taking the kid and dag on a walk. Had a stray dog following my dog, was getting ready to give it a good kick when it got the hint and took off.

Mood has been very relaxed today, couldnt ask for anything else on sunday/brewday. First full batch of beer on my new igloo mash tun with false bottom seemed went smoothly. I did a 2.5 gallon test batch on it a couple weeks back that was frustrating since i couldn't vorlauf enough and add it back before the bed collapsed. Today has been fantastic though
