Obsession

A man stands in front of the toilet, late at night.

Directing the steam, he thinks ” What can this teach me about the circulation of wort around my immersion chiller?”

I have serious mental issues

AZ Beer Week!

I don't know why I put an exclamation point on that- it's fun for everyone else.  Just work for me

<<cue violins>>

Just kidding- AZ Beer Week is pretty cool.  Right now, Strong Beer Fest is kicking off, and the party rolls for a week.

MOST importantly, I start the Homebrew class again!

Already have 10 people signed up, though there will be a lot of people absent for the first class due to AZ Beer week obligations.  Which is fine- I'm going to make them come over for a make-up class, and they have to bring me beer ;)

My favorite homebrew supply store is going to sponsor the class again!  BYO on Baseline is contributing some extract and grains.  The first time around, we brewed double batches so people could get 12 beers.... it resulted in an unfair burden on the sponsor- a couple of hundred of dollars in supplies.  That really was due to the recipe and over-reaching on my part, but- they have agreed to forgive me and sponsor again!

I'm also helping Moto and ASH do "Hot Scotchy" Monday once again.  I'm going to brew AT WORK, then bring the wort to Moto to share with eager mouths.  Right Red Rye was a HIT last year, and I'm brewing it again for them.  Well- not brewing.  "Making wort"

So- in addition to HUGE events at work, I've got a few other things going on.
