It’s SOOOO good!!!

Well, Memorial Day weekend provided a great time to test It’s Half Full, Honey beer! We popped one open on Sunday and tasted it and it was delicious! A more thorough review will follow shortly…

Ooooh… Pretty!!!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

It’s 3:43 AM and I can’t sleep. I was sleeping OK and then it got windy and this fan we have in the window started making weird noises because the wind was trying to blow through it, or against it, or something… and that was it. So now I’m downstairs on the couch. Roodi came […]

Pzizz

MacZOT.com Fans want Pzizz because ‘According to the National Sleep Foundation, sleep deprivation and its effect on work performance may be costing U.S. employers some $18 billion each year in lost productivity. Another study pushes this cost to over $100 billion.’ – link to full article

The next phase of beer brewing

Well, I mentioned the beer had been racked to the carboy. Here it is! It had an original gravity of 1.056 when we pitched the yeast. When we racked it, the SG was 1.013 which gives us a current alcohol content of 4.55 percent and still fermenting. We’ll probably end up with right around a […]
