We love love
Copy this sentence into your livejournal if you're in a heterosexual marriage/relationship (or if you think you might be someday), and you don't want it "protected" by the bigots who think that gay marriage hurts it somehow.
People wanting the right to marry? That makes me think marriage is even more awesome! -
Dark Beer Blues
My troubles with brewing dark beers continue. I thought that I had licked it after a few nice brown to very dark brown beers, but I just tasted the Irish stout (almost as black as my shriveled heart) I have in the fermenter right now and it is not good.

The holiday season
I tried to do my part for "Poop Like a Pirate" day by relieving myself over the side of the Friendship, the clipper ship reconstruction that's harbored in Salem, but I guess I must have misunderstood something because it caused a jolly old ruckus.

Bottling and labelling
On Friday evening I bottled the American Pale Ale after cold-crashing it in a cooler and ice-water for a couple of days. The beer was nice and clear and it tasted good.

Rumble in Somerville
Ah, the Somerville Market Basket, how I miss your shenanigans.

Because the ( Read more... )
