Had to work but made the most of it today. Brewed a porter and a coffee milk stout. A Labor Day indeed!

Was gifted some Amish Bread from the wife's co worker. It seems to be basically a sour dough culture in a zip lock bag. I sorta dig it.
It reminds me of something from about 20 years ago that my mother got from a friend. Some kind of "200 year old friendship bread".
The concept being, you get a zip lock bag of dough from a friend with instructions. It asks you to add more ingredients to make it a larger batch, take about 20% of that and put it in a zip lock bag. Bake the bread from the 80%. You then take the 20% and divide it into smaller zip lock bags and give it to a few (3-5) friends along with the same instructions.
Since you never totally use it all, the story is/was that, this is some kind of infinity bread in that a small fraction of the "original batch" from like 200 years ago keeps getting passed along with every batch.
I don't remember eating it but, it's a pretty neat concept. Anybody ever hear of this?
Wobriens RIS. This is the beer that made me brew an imperial stout. The oak on this has held on nicely. Thanks again for saving me one of these. Delicious!

This is mattmmille's Hi Nelson! Saison. Compared to mine on the right his is slightly less of a deep red but overall a tad sweeter. I have to say, mine has more of a wine tart and the muscatine grape he's talking about is more prevalent in his version. Overall, I prefer my color but I prefer his beer over mine. I really really loved mine until I got his.
Boiling my wort. Didn't hit my volume but came close. Think I'll hit my OG.
