How's Your Day? -August 2014

Horns, tail and all? Or just the foul temper?

 

Not since the operation.

 

It's the best way for a lot of people. A number of my co-workers have gone that route, making steady progress and reducing their nicotine consumption by 2/3 so far.

Best of luck to you!

 

Cooking up a mess of green beans with new potatoes, onion and jowl bacon (fat rendered out). That will be my dinner tonight and tomorrow night for sure. Green beans came out of my veg garden.

Making some fresh tomato salsa to take to some friends tomorrow. If they won't take the cukes, I know they will welcome the salsa; I guess I will keep eating cucumber salad.

The whole kit and caboodle.
@richgem we couldn't afford it. They actually try to come out of my burns. Wicked looking, but I keep em covered.

 

I'm coming over. Will there be cornbread?

 

Nice fermenter where did you get it? No bubbler to release the gas?

 

It's part of the Coopers DIY kit, it doesn't have an airlock because the lid isn't air tight, it uses burp release, so air won't get in but CO2 gets out. I've actually grabbed 2 PET carboys yesterday so I racked this guy into something else and started a Red Ale which....had a slightly more active fermentation start, and I'm so glad I didn't use the carboy without a blowoff or I'd be picking parts of an airlock out of my ceiling.

 

I would love to be her GILF!

 

Ya you would...both a blonde and a red how cool,have you ever added extra hopps to the carboy I think it is called ( dry hopping ) at the beginning of the fermenting process?
Take care.

 

I did on the Coopers kit (It's been badly reviewed so I added actually an extra 500g DME and 500g Dextrose to the mix as well so it wasn't so watery and just to play around, as well as an ounce of Galaxy Hops for a little more fruity flavour in the end. This red ale is right out of the box, pure Brew House red ale that I didn't want to alter, just do a 14 day primary fermentation, rack it and then hopefully bottle after about another week or two depending on time.

 

Nothing wrong with brewing beer my brother.

 

Oh... that's a shame, but it does explain the burns. Well, discretion being the better part of valor and such...

Hmmm... maybe you can grind them off like Hellboy.

 

As a matter of fact there is, went the Jiffy Mix route.

 

Oh...

 

Looks like one LESS for dinner.

 

Meh... Then that would rip out the burns

 

Maybe you can tell people that they're mastadon tusks.

 

A not-as-successful-as-I-had-hope-for Red Thai Curry with shrimp for dinner. The shrimp were fresh and yummy, but the curry was from a jar and not spicy enough (needed lemon grass too) and I burned the rice to the bottom of the pot.

 

That's more believable. Thank you for your uncanny ability to think outside the box. Now hopefully the government won't make me an experiment. :O
