It's been awhile since my last post. I've been a beer slouch. Sorry. Things will soon be back to normal and I'll be brewing again. Right now, I'm buried at work and am trying to make a bunch of project deadlines before I take my Babsy to Italy next week. I promised to have her there on her milestone birthday (I'm not allowed to tell which milestone), which is Friday 5/9. We bought a new camera last weekend and she is learning to wield it like a pro, so look for many additions to this site when we return after 10 days. I'm thinking that the thrust will be more about wine than beer, but what the hey, it's all fun and educational.
The "love bugs" are starting to swarm in Louisiana, so brewing will have to wait until they are cleared out. The little fellers love to auger in on my sweet wort during brewing. The next brew is shaping up to be a double batch during the weekend of June 3.
The Beano beer didn't work out; I added to too much Splenda. I had to dump 5 gallons of blonde ale (ouch) and am slowly consuming the IPA. Stay tuned for experiment no. 2.
You should also know that I had dinner at the "all you can eat spicy boiled crawfish" buffet at the Isle of Capri Casino tonight (the wife is out of town). I couldn't eat all they had, but they knew I was there! If you're inclined, you've got about one more month left in the crawfish season. Come on down!
Thanks for all of your kind words and prayers during our time of loss. Mom is doing fine, thank you. Be sure and check out all of the new posts at my dad's site.
