In the can

Just put the vapor lock on a fresh batch of Munich-style Helles. Here's the plan: allow fermentation to get underway (hopefully within 24 hours), then move the carboy to the garage. Hopefully, the temperature outside will hold its 45-55 degrees F pattern that we've seen for weeks. I'll rack it to secondary after 9-10 days, and mature it for another 10 days before bottling. Sometime between the third week of December and the second week of January, we will have a weekend game day. We'll try to get as many people as possible, and the goal will be to kill the whole batch. It will be Decemberfest (or Januaryfest). It will be awesome. I will be mostly naked by the end of the day, in all likelihood, so folks should plan for that.

  1. Phew, so, uh, maybe only bring games that are durable, huh?

  2. OK, so folks who've seen me in over my head can attest that I just get very, very friendly. I don't actually remove my clothes. Even if I did, I don't see the risk to your games. That said, there is a possible risk of spillage as the day gets late.

    Oh. Perhaps that's what you meant.

  3. OK, so, we'll start the day with 1830 and end it with...let's say, Bamboleo. That ought to do it.
