Don't envy me, boys. Have you ever tried to work out a tasting order for 16 beers at once? It was hard work indeed.

Needed a well earned beer afterwards so I had a Lagunitas Wilco Tango Foxtrot.

Now we really hate you.

Hope it choked you.

My heart bleeds for you. You really are doing it tough.

560 ohm resistor in series seems to be doing the job. Fingers crossed...

edit : man its been a long time since I've done anything like this. Soldering iron has copped a work out LOL

Yes, it's called judging.

Well, my little fella was born 11:57 on the 7th of May. F**king quietest baby I've ever come across. Prolly wont have much time for brewing over the next few weeks due to wrangling a 2 1/2 at the same time. Did however manage to put a kit down this arvo, and even get to G&G for a few top up stocks, some of which I forgot I already ordered form CB

Many congrats HB79!

Congrat HB79! 7th of may is a good day. Same date as my Nana and shes 90 and fighting fit! Doctors are amazed that a 90yr old has her own teeth and is on no meds.

Thanks guys & gals, will be a pretty hectic next few weeks with all the relos and that coming from interstate, lucky I have the next week and a half off work. Will be putting down a big brew sometime next week, may well just be my first BW, and only 2nd AG. Will have to look through the recipe DB for a few ideas. Hows this though, I just typed this post with one hand, ha ha, the other is giving my little bloke a bottle, now thats multi-tasking.

look no further - linky
scale it down for a smaller batch. final recipe is post 253 on page 13. and you get 2 beers for the price of 1

I suspect you aren't the only one on this site who types with one hand..... :unsure:

Congrats - when the one of my mates knocked up his wife he announced to us all "My swimmers can swim!". A little too much info perhaps?

Since you are AG now then go for a Theakstons Old Peculier - an old ale that can be put down for a few years but isn't as big as a BW. If you enjoy Hobgoblin, you'll love the Old Peculier.

I went one better and supported my uber-pro-breastfeeding wife......I never had to hold a bottle bar a few occasions when my wife was at uni and had expressed before....

I say the pro-breastfeeding cause has been targeting the wrong audience all along, they should be selling it to the husbands, who in turn help convince the mother.....It means that I never had to get up in the middle of the night to settle the baby, worry about buying formula, clean bottles etc etc......

Never thought I'd be cheering for Montreal Canadiens, but Go Habs! 4-2 lead going into the 3rd period of Game 7. Represent!
