brew day

i really like brewing beer. it's chemistry, microbiology and cooking all in one! cooked up an IPA today, based on a recipe i found at Menu In Progress (San Diego Pale Ale). just waiting for the yeast to kick in...

the digital thermometer has replaced the old one (which is so slow to register temp that it may actually be dead)

the grains (carapils, biscuit and crystal 10L)

a tiny mouse i found in the garage (there's at least 3 out there!)

hop pellets, 'whirlfloc' tablets and recipe worksheet
