All work and no play

Post by pfshine »

Some might have noticed my absence for a while. Long story short the economy got ahold of my life and had to downsize to an apartment, which made stillin impossible for me. I'm getting a new house next month and am back in the saddle. All I can say is thank God. I'm tired of drinking crap booze and getting hangovers. I'm home once again.

Nothing that I've heard of !
We were waiting for you to test a mashing and ferment in a 4 hours turnaround :)

Oh, may be there is a pico still trying to automate distillation of a quart mash volume !
