Just relaxing with a cold beer and doodling with my digital crayons while dreaming of being on a nice beach somewhere with a different beverage...
Stop in for a drink.

Well as I predicted my truck broke down in Waterloo. In a strange coincidence of fate it broke down in front of TMMs house. He serves a great lunch. Our lunch is pictured below.
Boil a gallon of water to 155°. Add the malt and wheat. Maintain
LMFAO!!!

It was a truly great day. Thanks again for the hospitality. The Stout stole the show!
Start out heating a gallon of water to about a hundred and sixty degrees and then you dumped in the two pounds of malt and wheat and let it steep for 45 minutes between 148 degrees and 152 degrees. That's the tricky part. After that's done you run a half gallon of 150 degree water through the bag that holds the grain to sparge it and remove all of the starches and sugars. Then heat the mixture back up to low rolling boil an ad the liquid malt extract and then heat it back up to a low rolling boil again. Then you add the first pops and boil it for 40 minutes. Then you add the 2 lb of the dry malt extract in the spice pack and boil that for 10 minutes and then you add the last 1 oz of hops and boil for five minutes. Then you turn it off and cool it 2 yeast pitching temperature which is usually around 70 to 80 degrees add enough water to bring it up to the five gallon mark and then sprinkle the yeast on top and let it ferment for two or three days or longer. When it is done fermenting, you add priming sugar (for carbonation) and let it sit and get happy for a few weeks. Then let it sit in a frig for a few days before drinking.

Well, my imaginary pineapple drink at the beach was tasty...but my imaginary bartender suggested I try the mixed tropical fruit one. Sure! Why not?
I added the dry malt. Damn that tastes good!
Sounds good Mike.

My wife took my daughter to an intra-team swim team practice meet (State finals are soon so they are getting ready). That leaves me alone at home with cold beer and my digital crayons.
Never can tell what I might come up with next!

Hey Fred, I was wondering...how did the boys like the plane paint idea?
They will be here tomorrow and will show them the pictures you made. I am bad at trying to copy and send I guess I am to old or could blame it on my computer for being to old. lol

Gotcha! I will be interested to hear what they think.
Cooled the wort and pitched the yeast. In a day or two I will post a shot of the airlock going crazy.
That part doesn't look to tasty but I bet the final part will.
