Quick Update

Things are going well. I rode my motorcycle to work four days last week. Stalled on my first u-turn in front of the office, but kept going with my feet and started it back up right away! Did another long ride (okay, just over 10 miles, but long for me!) this weekend to Glendora with Jim. That was fun as well. I'm quite glad I have a full face helmet because a rock flew up and hit the face plate. That would have been my forehead! Also, bottled the Hefeweizen ale last week and the mocktobertest the week before. I have one of each in the refrigerator to try. I know the Hefeweizen is probably not ready, but I have to give it a try! And there is a new pale ale in the carboy fermenting now for four days. Yesterday it was so active there was beer and yeast in the bubbler! I cleaned and sanitized it and put a few drops of the foam control in it. Next week we'll brew Jim's birthday ale. Another hazelnut ale with a few changes of our own :-) And now tomorrow we get to go to the Weinsfest. It's at Weins winery and includes their wine and beer from Stone Brewery - as well as German food and other stuff. We're staying down there and then driving back Monday morning for work. I'm really looking forward to it!
