Dan is my wife‘s cousin. The “captain’s log” entry at the top of this month’s statement pretty well sums up the general feeling about this winter.

In for a long night ... 
Crazy enough to work
Shovel, shovel, sweep, sweep, sweep. And slowly the grain goes into the semi.
A wide angle view gives a better idea of the size of this bin. 40 ft in diameter and 25 ft to the eaves. When full it holds about 40 semi loads of grain. We're down to the last 3 or so.
That will be a lot of beer...

Went fishing yesterday morning and got this, not the best pic, but got Mt St Helens and Mt Rainier off to the left
I loved going to my kids science fair and seeing which projects were actually done by the kids and which ones were clearly done by the parents.
I was often asked to judge science fairs and I hated it for that reason. O
I didn't like awarding the projects clearly done by parents but some of the others were just awful.
It's GInormous!

That 94.9% viability after 6 months can't be far off the pace for the dry yeast with its 24 month expiration...
Cheers!

The vitality must start dropping off after 6 months and at a much greater rate than dry. Still quite impressive for liquid yeast. Now the price is getting out of control.
I've always used fresh yeast but now I'll have start overbuilding my starters and saving some for later.
You should consider it. I've been doing overbuilds for years as it can seriously cut your yeast costs.

I think I am going to try an overbuild this weekend. I have WLP-001. So using the calculator to make a overbuild of 100million it looks like I will have 500ml extra. Do I just pour off the extra 500ml into a sterilized jar and put in fridge for the next brew without doing anything else to it? How long are you getting out of the stored portion? When I go to use the overbuild can I reuse the calulator and over build it again?
Right, the "Amount to Pitch" and "Amount to Harvest" provide the proportional amounts. You can use & store in that form, or, as I do, you can crash, decant the spent wort, then proportionally split and use & store the thick slurry.
I have kept strains running for up to two years doing overbuilds. Since I started brewing again I've been farming 1056 and 1318 since December. I do label the mason jar lids with the date and presumed cell count, so I can plug that back into the calculator for the next cycle with the overbuild amount and have a decent idea of the resulting cell count...

We're headed to France for the summer. It's not as intense as Sweden, but it gets dark around 11 PM and the sun comes up by 5 AM
Curved bill thrasher eggs. Not a very good looking bird but his song is incredible. They always build the nest in a cholla cactus. Last month she tried to dismantle the straw foot mat on the back porch to build the nest. You can see my floor mat straw.

Moving from Georgia to Oregon I was in for a big surprise in the summer when there was light around 4:30 am and it did not get dark until after 10 pm. My sister and niece came out from NC a few years ago in July and I had to warn them about how much daylight we had.
That can't be good

I lived in Alaska for a while. Over the summer. My dog at the time thought sunrise at 4am was time for me to get up and play. Sunset around midnight.
