I’ve been going through a tough time at work lately. Yesterday I came home, feeling frustrated, and my wife - sensing my despair - put a reassuring hand on my shoulder and said, “Earth.” I know it sounds strange, but it meant the world to me.

From lips without passion to the lips with a kiss There's nothing of your love that I'll ever miss The stain on my notebook remains all that's left Of the memory of late nights and coffee in bed Squeeze, Black Coffee in Bed

Picked up a few ingredients for this weekend's stovetop BIAB brew day: my annual summer pilsner. A bit different this year: going with 100% Weyermann Barke Pilsner malt (no specialty malts this year); also using Crystal as my aroma hop instead of my usual Mittelfruh. Cheers.

I got a strange call the other day. I said “hello?” and the caller coughed, sneezed, sniffled and hung up. So annoying - I hate getting cold calls.

Bottled my split batch American IPA this evening. It's a dank-off: Columbus dryhop vs. Nugget dryhop.

A buddy of mine at work is diabetic. He recently lost a few toes on his right foot. It was sad. Worse yet, his wife threatened to divorce him. I asked why, and he said, "she's lack-toes intolerant."

Over the weekend, I told my wife that I wanted to be cremated. She made an appointment for Thursday.

Three conspiracy theorists walk into a bar. You can't tell me that's just a coincidence.

This is an interesting topic; sorry I missed it last June. I don't cold crash prior to bottle conditioning ... didn't make sense to me to spend time and effort dropping out the yeast if I'm going to rely on it again ... plus, i dont want the conditioning phase to extend longer than it needs...

I’ve had best success with 1/2 tsp table sugar per 12 oz. bottle … I reduce to 3/8 tsp per 12 oz. for heavily dry-hopped beers, as the hop creep leads to gushers when I’ve used 1/2. And I agree with those above recommending 1/2” to 3/4” headspace in a 12 oz. bottle. Lastly, I’ve struggled to...
