Brew Day V2.0

I might be interested in the Greenlee punches. If someone wants them before Saturday, sell them. If not, I'll take a look and we'll talk about it.

I know, right?

I really didn't expect to be able to do this this year, or next year, or the year after. I had it on my five year plan list.

Can't say enough about how happy I'll be to not have my brew days affected by which way the wind blows. Hard to convey how huge an impact wind is using propane burners outside. I'm done with that and I'm ****ing thrilled. I can't count how many times I've delayed brewing because of wind.

This type of system (essentially a Kal Clone) seems really awesome to use. It takes care of some kettle watching but is not an automated system by any stretch of the imagination. This is a hands on brewer in full control type system. I'm really excited to start using it.

I don't plan to have it in a functional state for the poker game but I think I'll have it set up for demonstration on my upstairs table. Would love to talk about it with anyone interested.

I'm trying my damnedest to come. If I do we'll nerd out for sure.
 
If?

You're killing me.

But I hope you can make it.
 
This is a weird post for this thread but I've run across this add sooo much lately. Yeah my search history and the sad fact "they" know more about me than I know about myself.

I am a happy person today!

I finally cleaned out the portion of my garage I needed for my new brewery and got everything set up for an initial water/stress test.

Glad to report, no arcing, sparking, fires, breaker trips, or other issues. Everything worked the way it was supposed to work. I have prepared myself for setbacks and difficulties but have been fortunate enough to not have any so far.

I am instantly in love with my new system. It was hard letting go of my old system but before I've even made beer with my new system I know I like it better and will love it long time harder and stronger.

Ahh man. I'm a happy guy tonight.
 
Made some sous vide tonight.

NY Strip Steaks and Broccoli

I'd heard ridiculously good things about sous vide cooking. My steak wasn't light years better than any other steak I've eaten but it was cooked perfectly and there was far less overcooked meat on the edges while being exactly right in the center. I will certainly do this again. My next adventure in sous vide will be a boston butt that will become pulled pork.

It was nice being able to cook the steaks at 130F in one vessel and the broccoli at 183 in another.

That is a pretty cool side benefit. I get the same results on charcoal for steaks, with a hot side and cold side, bringing the steaks up to 120 or so slowly then flash-sear them on the hot side to get them to temp. Perfect char on the outside, done the same all the way through. I have always been interested in sous vide though and am interested to hear more about your experiences. The great thing is you can leave it at that set temp for a long time and it won't overcook the food. Pretty cool stuff.
