Dry July 09

[mb83]

im in the swing of brewing every weekend, so beer stocks are piling up....no dry july here

and im fairly skinny, so more beer and zero excercise here for me thanx

And all the fats bastards say "**** You!!!"

 

[mb83]

So, is anyone up for dry july this year?

I've started training for a long bike ride later in the year so will be swearing off for most of the month (with the likely exception of the 24th - NSW case swap day). Am aiming to lose 5 kg.

cheers

I'm in. Doesn't mean I can't brew like a man possessed though....

My morning coffee is already being frothed to a cappuccino with my DTs... kidding.

My DT's stop once I have a coffee :icon_cheers:
As mb83 stated, brewing can still go ahead.

And from where I stand, I can officially taste the wort BEFORE the yeast has been pitched.

I might give it Monday to Thursday thing, but Friday to Sunday is quality time with my beer.

Dry-July. I'm in.

Not that I need to lose any excess lard (I am fairly active & excercise often), but I think my internal organs are shutting down, and my brain is a mess from overconsumption.

31 days till beer o'clock :blink:

Hydrometer samples aren't counted, right!

I've been wondering the same thing and have decided that hydro samples in moderation are OK.

A dry month. You're all stark raving mad

I'm all for dropping a couple excess pounds but just up the exercise. That's it exercise and a balanced diet, and my diet is definately not balanced without beer :icon_cheers:

But I'll be thinking of you when I crack my first one for the month tonight

Sounds like everyone has gone soft!! Well soft around the guts maybe . I am having a reduced beer July, only drinking Friday and Saturday nights. Good luck to the dry dudes! BTW with the losing weight / keeping weight off I have found that a six meal diet plan works best - you don't get hungry and lose weight quicker. This is six small healthy meals, not six servings of maccas B)

Good luck everyone. And Grant, I think we will need you to define moderation :icon_cheers:

One sample per day after the krausen has fallen uintil you reach FG sounds about right. Mind you if you start taking samples in a pint glass that's probably not moderation.

:icon_offtopic: Waters broke on Friday night, child was finally born on Monday afternoon....

Being stuck on a holding pattern and having just given up smoking, throw in no drinking.......


Actually, I have to start thinking about what I drink soon, we are buying a car again after not having one for over a year...

I've kind of got used to be able to go to the pub for lunch with the family and down a couple of schooners, need to rethink that now.....
