Knowing your taste in beer, that’s quite the compliment. Thank you! And yes, there’s been a learning curve, but I have always said that the biggest thing that has changed homebrewing from when I started in the 90’s is the availability of cleaning and sterilizing products. We’ve come a long way from a “capful or two of bleach.” Also the availability of quality products especially yeast makes a huge difference. I’ll have the Black and Cran Sour available in a couple days, so I’ll let you and @Baltimorewx know how it turned out. When this is Covid deal is all over, I’d be happy to host a get-together or just bring a couple of kegs to somewhere else. And a cooler of Pabst for @losetoa6

I’d not risk Tucker to a fluke injury and let a bum punt. Fun chat yesterday, and yeah, the red solo cups were a dead giveaway. The ABV should be 9ish %, but this batch is a little thinner because of new equipment I used. It’s 7.8%.

Happy Birthday, @nj2va!

I was awake when that blob went through the Belair area and couldn’t find any snow on the I95 cameras.

That might work. I was late kegging the sour, so it’s not ready, but the pumpkin is plentiful. I’ll let you know in the AM

Love too!

Cozy’s Brewery. A local garage brewery in Pikesville. Namely, my garage! I’ll gladly meet you at Meadowood with a growler or two and let you sample. It won’t be necessary to exchange for your store bought stuff. I like hearing the honest thoughts of others.

I have a few in the fridge you might want to try, or better, the pumpkin stout or black and cran sour on tap. We aren’t far from where you work!

I’ve gotta try that!

I’ll let the long-rangers figure out the future while I keep in the Christmas present. Met a couple friends and did a biscotti and cookie share at Brookeville Beer Farm this afternoon.

Frickin amateurs.

Scrooge.

Damn. I wish you had let me know. I’d have gladly brought the heater down to you. Also, did the Maryland Heights loop today and now sitting outside overlooking the rivers and town at Harpers Ferry Brewery.

I’m hoping he gets benched early today. eta, but also a little disappointed in the organization for starting him today. I was hoping Rivera was going to be the impetus for a culture change.

The roughing the kicker has turned into a nightmare for the defense.

I could be wrong but I don’t think so. I think the mods were concerned and reached out to him and in his response said that he sometimes checked in. My guess is that he has done that anonymously.

They might have a new coach after that bone-headed decision to kick a fg instead of going for six.

Disappointing qpf totals. February?

This is blasphemous for this forum, and I’m not looking to be reaped, but getting decent weather for outdoor activities this winter would not upset me. For most of us on the forum, snow and cold is great weather, but we are not the norm.

Is snow code for something?

Need a kerosene heater for the night?

From my sister in Owings, Calvert county. Easy, Mattie...

At midnight last night it was at about 60 degrees here. I always forget how far west you are!

Good eye! Although old fashioned’s are awesome, I've been doing Manhattans pretty regularly using Bulleit Rye. I use rye because the spicy notes go well with the sweet vermouth, and Bulleit because it’s pretty good and I can get the super-size bottles reasonably priced! Oh, and the jar of Luxardo cherries are a must. I buy them by the bulk and jar them with my vacuum sealer.

It’s been a busy morning here preparing the treats for delivery this weekend to family and friends. The pistachio-cranberry biscotti is finished, but still need to bake the white chocolate and macadamia nut biscotti. It’s not Mrs. Jones’ kitchen, but they are good with morning coffee. Merry Christmas all!
