Busy Busy Busy

Wow it has been a long time, what have I done in the past couple of weeks. Well first I traveled to Bremerton, WA for work. While I was there I took the ferry over to Seattle and met up with an old friend of mine. Had some great salmon the first night and some awesome sushi the second night. Including geoduck, I was pretty excited to try this ever since I saw the episode of Dirty Jobs where Mike Rowe harvested them. It was ok, not real strong fish flavor but a really strange texture. It was kind of like cooked octopus in texture, but I dont know, crunchier if that is even possible.

I think this is Mt. Rainer but not 100% sure.

After I got back I made another batch of beer, still need to bottle it but so far it looks really good. I made a German Weissbier with some Hefeweizen yeast that will give the beer a banana clove flavor. Really looking forward to this beer, hopefully it should taste like Franziskaner one of my favorite beers.

This time I didnt have to steep any grains, add extract and hops boil for an hour.


Ice Ice Baby! Last time as you know I couldn't get the wort down in temperature very quickly, this time I got a lot more ice. It helped but I think I need to invest in a immersion cooler.


Yesterday Kat and I went to the Nebraska game with our friends Brett and Kristal. We had a great time and Nebraska won so that's a bonus.

Are we wearing red? We swore it would never happen, how things change.

Horrible picture of me but that's Brett and Kristal being goofy in the back ground.


Sea of red anyone?
