And probably for a number of reasons, but the beer never did get started fermenting. One reason could be that the weekend that we decided to do it, it was SO COLD outside and in the house, that it just never got to the right temperature.
OR it could be that we totally screwed something up( which is highly likely).
OR it could have just been a bad batch of something. Who knows? So DH dumped the batch yesterday( yes my entire house smelled like beer for hours) and so we will start over again. In fact, he should be at the beer place right now, replenishing the supplies. Must be nice to have a day off :). But we won't get to restart the brewing till he returns from his 3 week jaunt to Paris and India. But that's fine with me. It's an exhausting process and I need to work myself up to it.
Other than that, we don't have too much going on right now. The dog is going nuts being cooped up in the house so much with all the bad weather. He was playing with DH last night and now DH looks like scarface. Reilly got him good with a nice right paw to the face.
Back to work now... some of us have to work on this NATIONAL HOLIDAY. Whatever.
Glad to see you blogging again! I did not get MLK Day off, either. I can't think of a single year, during either school or work, that I have ever had that day off. And hubby gets it EVERY year. GRRRR!!! One more reason that January is blah!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the beer, but I am sure you will learn as you go and the next batch will be better!
Can't wait to see you guys soon!
