My little scrumple bums.......

Me and my little Pirate Winch out and about looking at Halloween bling...

the humble beginings......

So this is the project that Tim and I have been working on.... We have quite a bit of work to go, but all in all this will be the beginnings of something great. I mean I hope it isn't going to be just the idea in our heads, but a full blown extension of our accumulated dreams and aspirations.

The season of BEER........

So its getting colder, and the leaves are falling from the tree's. That means its time to drink some beer so thick that you could drink it with a fork......

Boise Brewers Festival......

Ok all there was quite the turn out for the Boise Brewers Festival. Great beer from all over the US.

Denver Yo.......

Me and the little lady went to Denver the week of July 11th to the 19th.... Had a great time drinking local Colorado beer, and doing a nice little stretch of the Poudre River out side of Fort Collins. Great time where had by all.

Beer! Glorious! Beer! P.S dont forget about Nachos : )

So all your Beer drinking Scally wags, and Pirate winches. I took another Hydrometer reading to day in the year of our lord Two Thousand and Ten. The Beer is done... Time to get it trapped in some bottles. I have been sipping here and there while taking readings, and it is pretty darn good if I do say so..

The Transfer Of The Liquid Gold......

Kicked to the teeth, In a good way ...

Ok all you Beer lovers out there. I took my first Hydrometer reading on the new Oatmeal Stout. Reading came out to 1.020 SG So with a reading like that, this brew is turning out to be a beast amongst beasts. The Hydrometer gave a reading that it is right now at 8% alcohol as is. I drank the sweet brew from my testing tube, and dang it is strong and very tasty.

Anyone out there that would like to get started Home Brewing should go to http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing for the greatest prices I have found so far. If there are any old school brewers that know of a better place to get materials or supplies, feel free to send me a message with any information.

Today was a great day, I was finally able to remove my big old honking blow off tube, and replace it with my little gas vapor lock... Man I'm so excited to rock out a pint of this stout.. When its all done I might have to have a brew party, to show off my Beer.

So it is 6am Wednesday morning, and the beast is still burping and farting away.. I had to change out my blow off tube, due to the nature of the frothing of the baby. Its so great to walk into my laundry room to the overwhelming aroma of the blow off of my little Stout. I cant wait to perform the Scrooge McDuck on this beer (The Scrooge McDuck is when you fill up a kiddie pool with beer and dive into the Beer) : )

Here is a nice little picture of My little Elf...

I drove home today after work to find that my little baby Oatmeal Stout was burping and farting like any new born baby.

Day 1 The Day After Contact..

At 12:00am Mountain Standard Time, A beautiful baby was born. Well It wasn't quite a baby per say. It was more of an Oatmeal Stout.. Partial Extract, and Partial Grain. The moment the lovings where going down I knew that this was going to be the birth of my little black, tasty love child.
