If you’re in the mood for a coronary and/or a diabetic coma, might I suggest a slice of Kentucky Transparent Pie? (Never hear of it before this week and decided to try making it. It’s delicious and likely quite deadly.)

Still working on my pan de bono game. This is batch number 4? Maybe 5? I’m determined to find just the right recipe and haven’t quite nailed it yet, but I think I’m getting closer.

One of the perks of living local. 😎

Making friends while for a hike with @latinvixen.bsky.social

Today I:
• brewed 5 gallons of light lager that came out exactly to the numbers. Hope it’s doesn’t suck!
• transferred a batch of apricot cider to a keg and gosh, is it ever tasty.
• processed and bottled a gallon of my newest hot sauce. Jalapeño + green apple. Low heat, high flavor. 😋

First charge of Hallertau Mittelfrüh as bittering hops. Boils for 60 minutes.

Been jamming to Simon Shackleton all week. Really great work tunes.

Hot break.
Stirring the protein down so it doesn’t boil over and make a huge mess.

Mashin’ time!
My fam wants to host a crab boil with a big group of their friends in a few weeks. They don’t particularly enjoy fancy beer, so this is my attempt at a light lager. Not my preference and I’ve never tried to make this style before but it’s still a fun experiment.

Equipment is all prepped, made myself a latte, and now sparge water is heating up. Ready for another brew day. :)

Never heard of Bad Tuner before tonight, but this is so my vibe. Instantly hooked.

Prepping to watch the debate. 🙄

Smart car needs a new battery. Lucky I have a glass of motivation to make it happen. :)

Yesterday I got to ride a train and a boat, now I’m back to ride the train again. I’m really enjoying this work trip. 😎

Tuesday beaching.
