I'm just fucking around, really ... it's just pastrami ... and we actually have a really good, new place in town:

I just think it's fun to keep posting them ... mostly because I want to see the one you eat whenever =)
you'd think i brewed
I might brew like a motherfucker while I'm solo ...
Considering just totally forgetting the concept of day and night, banging out my work to have the space to brew like everyday for days ...
I can just live off reheated BBQ from my stash in the freezers, sleep when I'm tired, but otherwise just work and brew for days ...
Physically exhausting myself while mentally relaxing, I guess - but accomplishing updating my beers to better fit what I'm looking to drink ...
Hmmmm ...

Hmmmm ...
I have some recipes ready, yes
Red-Eye, Wheebz stout, Deebo, the Pecan Brown ale, and I'd be happy with brewing Darkness Err'body again, and oaking it ... that's five right there, and I know I have another recipe or two, incl what I think will be a VERY good attempt at a Pliny-like beer ...
I have everything, it's only whether I can Just Do It! ... like a fuckin' Nike ad ...
Oh, and I guess a Brew Down beer ...

Oh, and I guess a Brew Down beer ...
Wheebz' stout suits me better than 90% of the various stout's I buy, and Red-Eye is better than 90% of the DIPA's I buy ... that makes it a pretty easy decision for me, really ...
Not saying really better, just for me, they're pretty dialed-in to what I like ...
I might need to rebrew the Mulberara too, honestly ... I lost too much to the bottom of my chestie =(
So, in conclusion, I dumped the last 1/4 keg of Wheebz saison, 1/2 keg of Zorg, and 3/4 keg of Wild in the Sacch ...
For my own reflection, for later when I can't recall the reasoning:
Wheebz saison - nothing wrong, but it could have used some cardamon, rose hips etc on that nice saison base ...
Zorg - the taste of the Zythos+Galaxy was not to my liking, and since it didn't fade, I'm going to blame the Zythos, not the Galaxy ...
Wild in the Sacch - The flavor of the beer once the Nelson dry-hopping faded was weird and juicy, but not a good way ...
Other take-away's:
Not racking off dry-hop plant material makes for a vegetal or grass-like off-flavor, so better to dry-hop for the week before service, and not in advance ...
And now ...
Well, now I have 1x glass fermenter and 1x corny fermenter and 6x service kegs to clean this afternoon/evening ...
And I guess I need to think about getting some stir-plates setup ...
Things could get real interesting, real fast ... Shady's back.

"other strong ale"
6 more countertops to program and I'll be done though where I usually stop on a Monday night ...
So ...
I'll probably brew it during the day tomorrow, actually ...
Might get into some burger action or something tonight, through ...
I think I'm out of time for pasta ... that seems like something I'd need two hours for, before the time I 'd like to eat ...
And I want to eat sooner than 3 hrs from now ...

Yeah ... I like day brewing ... especially since I'll serial mash that one ... so it'll take a while ...
Sounds like a nice beer to me, though ...
Should share some features of the Red-Eye ...
