bad santa

winter warmer/spice ale is in the fermenter... OG came in a bit low, 1.064 instead of 1.085, not enough volume lost to boil off again. cinnamon is in the primary, vanilla on hold till bottling.

temporary name: Bad Santa (that's the name on the recipe from BYO.) Not sure on buried castle's name yet.

gopro

Occupy REI

We arrived @ 2100 and were the 10th tent in line (which actually became #8 once we evicted the two placeholder tents), good enough to be in group 1 to hit the corral at 1000. A cold, damp night followed by a snowy morning. REI garage sale success: pedals, tools, and gopro and new friends among the fellow campers. REI failure: let the softshell getaway

chunkin

After a rainy night into snowy day at the garage sale, the first all grain batch has been updated and renamed. Previously "pumpkin" is now "Chunkin." This beer is well into bottle conditioning. First tastes may be ready in time for Halloween.

rainy day

mash tun is fixed, cherries are ready.... waiting for the rain to stop. Bad santa sunday instead?

Morris Arboretum

It was a really long time since school field trips to Morris Arboretum, so Will and I spent the day exploring it.  It was much better than I remembered.  That's probably because there no classes or presentations to go to.
