After a fun morning of yard work (who ever heard of mowing the yard before April?), a dog meet up in the circle, and racking the peach wine we endeavored to brew up a yet to be branded Belgian Wit. Judging by the smell test administered via the airlock this morning, it promises to be…
When QA thinks of me, they probably sing this song in their heads. Or maybe out loud. Because this is how my day has gone…against my will.
I really want to participate in one of these contests this year. This will firmly establish my Iowegian citizenship and cement my love of the state. So far the outhouse race looks pretty fun but I’m game to try pretty much anything.
This weekend I want to brew but I cannot decide. We’re 3 for 5 assuming something strange does not wreck havoc on the Son of Nutter. The two failures were a Belgian wit and an oatmeal stout. I love a good wit and I also love a good stout. I’m leaning wit right now for…
Epic Rap Battles of History #13 is pretty much awesome. Got there cruising the YouTubes after watching Will the Real Mitt Romney Stand Up? which is, regardless of your political leanings, a pretty well produced mashup.
Getting more and more convinced that there has been a disturbance in the force. Weird Facebook status update emails and now some out of the blue SMS spam. It’s not the first time ever so we’re still in the realm of coinkydinks but as the day goes on the more I feel like everyone’s favorite…

There was a weird moment where I couldn’t figure out why a betting service was dumping PCBs and why they wanted to contact me. Like maybe they…

The must is currently airing out and the fabulous Elizabeth will add yeast tomorrow and get things cooking. Here’s what we did: Ingredients 96 oz peach cubes and juice 48 oz peach pureé 3.75…
Courtesy of Butter, we brewed up another batch of the Black Squirrel Nutter. The first one was such a hit and it was gone far too soon. Everyone agreed that we needed to do that again. So after sufficient recovery from the previous night’s festivities had happened (and thanks, Jeremy, it was awesome to be…
Uncorked a bottle of the riesling while mixing up the peach wine tonight. I think we’re finally to drinkability. It’s still dry for the style, but the harsh fusels were not present in this bottle. It’s about time! Hooray! Yum!
