Teach a Friend to Brew

Have you heard of Teach a Friend to Brew Day? It's November 7th this year. Hopefully you'll have an opportunity to help teach a friend to homebrew. WHAT!? You don't know how to brew? No problem go learn. I'll be over at Artisan Homebrew waiting for a big pot of water to boil so stop over. Mike will write it all up when he gets a minute.

This is right up my alley. Get together with some friends and brew some beer. Just don't all watch the pot at the same time. You know what they say about a watched pot. "It never boils."

For more information about Teach a Friend to Brew Day read Chipper Dave's excellent write up. Don't forget the AHA site too ;-) You can find a site near you and join in. Heck, you might even learn a little.

Worm Trail Wheat Ale: If you look closely...

...you might see...



...yeast ;-)

Heheh, seriously though. This is the beer we brewed together at Jeremy & Jackie's. Looks good and healthy to me so far.

Homebrewing on a stormy night...

The rain came down hard today. Afterwards the wind swept in to clear the skies and we were well into our brewing session over at Jackie & Jeremy's place with Mike from Artisan Homebrew. Some friends stopped by and watched the pot boil with us, added some hops, steeped some grains and had a couple beers. Hoping for a hoppy beer from the carboy. The Simcoe and Centennial should be up to the task. Mike's saving some amarillo for the dry hop. I can taste it already.

Thanks everybody. Had a wonderful night.

Dry Hop in Keg with Wire Mesh Tea Infuser Ball

I bought two of these at Walmart (cause it was open) for dry hopping the Garbage Pail Ale. One keg with Simcoe the other with Centennial. We'll see how it turns out.

Fill up the ball with hops, I'm using one ounce of pellets per five gallons, and drop it in the keg. Might try to hook it to the out valve stem (or whatever you call it).

I'll try to leaving the infusers in there for about a week.

Nici the FriendFeeder exists!

So, Feedburner isn't lying to me. There are people over there at FriendFeed. Nici proved it.

(Interesting, how do I know this person is real? You can't believe everything you read on the Internet. I guess she could be a bot. Nah I'm not goin' down that road. Too much thinking involved. Red pills, blue pills, Why am I here?, you know.)

Now I must study. I need to prove the theory.

They FriendFeed therefore they exist ;-)

I'll probably need some help from these guys though. Why am I doing this? Good question. Can't remember. Its just as well, the original reason was probably something lame.

If you are reading this in FriendFeed show me you exist. Click through.

I'm just curious to see if anybody from FriendFeed does that type of thing.

FriendFeed people click here to leave me a comment and tell me what you think...er prove you exist.

And now back to your regularly schedule programming. Yikes, I have to send those hops out to Bard's Basement Brew. I resolve to do it tonight, now, right now, when I say now I mean now, if I say something I mean it, unless its just for effect, in that case it really isn't that I mean it so much...aaargh...
