Title: Passing the time til Ice !!
Post by: sst4life on Nov 11, 2007, 10:16 AM
Well for me it is playing Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 online.  What is everybody else doing to pass the time I know most of you are going to say Hunting but what else.  Also if anybody else is playing those games on XBOX look me up and we can go to battle together..........sst4 life666 is my name on Live

You can have your 4% busch.   ;D  I'll usually brew in the range of 7-10%.   Keeps you a little warmer on the ice :)  If I'm slummin', my beer of choice is Natty. 

More a hobby than anything really.  Yeah, I like to drink, but I give a lot away as gift and it's great to have 3-4 beers on tap when you have a party (use the old SS soda kegs).  Kit brews is now I got started, I now crush all my own grains and mash (steep) them.  I do 10gal batches at a time.  I get my bulk grains right from OPB in skowhegan.

The last pix was of (2) 10gal batches, a buddy was over and we were each doing a batch.  I am hoping that this summer, I will have the time to weld together the framework that will hold the banjo burners and these puppies.   ;)  I have an inside connection at Mardens, and got (2) 30gal pots and (1) 25 gal pot for a whopping total of 37 dollars.   ;D  I'll be up to 25gal batches then....less time brewing and more time drinking/fishing/hunting.   :laugh:
