= Such Stupid Things =

I finally reclaimed some beer-making equipment from Paul recently, so we decided to kick spring off right with a trip out to Beer, Beer and More Beer. Joe and I eventually decided to push the envelope a bit, and bought supplies for making a Hefeweizen. It's not, I keep reminding myself, an inherently inferior beerform, it's just that a lot of it is really, really bad. But not ours, I say! We added some Bam in the form of cloves and ginger... a little spice for a sunny spring afternoon. Morale was high.

But then the weather took a turn. Things went from nice to really, really nice. I know I shouldn't complain, but my somewhat temperature-controlled closet spiked from mid-sixties to the mid-seventies... and I'm a little concerned about the little yeasties. They don't seem to be bubbling like they should be.

Well... it's cooled off since then, but bottling is next week. I guess we'll see how it goes.
