Yeah good luck with that. LOL

Brewing still going good? We are going to finish the basement in about a month and then I get to build a bar. I'm doing a five tap tower, 3 co2 and 2 nitrogen. I;m currently out of suds but am ordering stuff to make an esb, pumpkin ale and a honey wheat.

My old lady is expecting our fourth in mid-sept. So I'm planning on beer for October.

Well then congrats to you!

Brewing's been slow thanks to the aforementioned humidity. Just finished the mash on a dry stout. I usually do a no-sparge brew on days like this, saves a ton of time. Kegged an IPA two days ago. I got a kegerator that holds 6 kegs running off one 20# CO2 tank and I'm able to ferment 15 gallons at a time. Still working at the homebrew shop on the weekends. Recipe I'm brewing right now cost me $15.

Planning on doing my first lager soon. Thinking about either doing a Bohemian Pilsner or a Baltic Porter .... or both. I, too, thought of doing a pumpkin ale with my porter recipe as the base beer.

Welcome back...Kids are great. When is he getting his first tattoo?
