That ball of fur is Brew. I'm so happy to get him back. He disappeared for a couple of days and I was an emotional wreck. It appears he found a crawl space in the attic and went on an adventure.
The large stainless steel vats of cider are impressive, but I like this little bit of glass with bubbles.

Some days are not meant to brew on.
I think today was one of those days.
I found a clone recipe for Chimay Red. A nice Belgian that I was looking forward to drinking.
I was going to brew in the garage but Deb said why not brew inside because it's so hot outside.
First mistake.
I was making a half batch. Two and a half gallons.
I thought I could use the induction heater because it heats up quicker than the regular elec. stove.
Well when you have all that water in there it took forever to bring to a boil.
After adding my DME and LME I could never get it to come to a full boil.It was sort of a soft boil and then it didn't loose any water so I finished with almost 3 gallons of wort but used only enough ingredients for 2 and a half.
Finally it came time to transfer to my fermenter and as I was siphoning out of the Brew pot the hose slipped out from the fermenter and warm wort spilled all over the kitchen floor.
So I did get about the right amount in the fermenter but I am doubting the results.
The recipe calls for an original gravity of 1.070 and mine measured 1.087
I'll let you know in about two weeks.

Remains of an old tram system in the Inyo Mountains with a brewing storm down in Saline Valley below. Myself and a couple of other friends camped up here in mid-April and endured a surprise winter-like storm with winds gusting up to 30-40 mph and temperatures dropping below 20 degrees F, freezing my water bottle in the morning.

several of my recent brewery images are now hanging in the Portland location Sebago Restaurant. fun!
Bryce Canyon, UT
Another picture from Bryce Canyon from a couple of weeks ago, during a roadtrip with my friends Romain Guy and Nicolas Klein. We arrived in Bryce a couple of hours before the sunset, and we started waiting, as the clouds were hinting at a possible good outcome (...for landscape photographers!).
We were hoping to catch some lightnings strikes from the storm brewing at the horizon, but no such luck...
This shot was actually one of the last ones I took -- by then I had stopped doing long exposure, I knew I had a few decent ones already, and was less concerned about the outcome.
The rain started to pour on us, didn't seem to stop and after 15mn went back to the car, drenched. I didn't look at this particular image until this week -- proof that 1) waiting when it starts raining (even if you think you already had your shot) can be a good idea 2) waiting a short period before reviewing your pictures is a great idea -- as I now prefer this image to the others I took there...
This picture shows two of the three spacers that help place the loops of copper appropriately on the side of the conical. Before you start the process make sure you mark the areas where you want your supply and return lines to run.
Here is a home made thermowell that I used for my cooler. (Note: this is used in the glycol reservoir, copper should not come into contact with beer after the boil ie. don't use it in the fermentor) I used a piece of 1/4” id copper tubing, fluxed the inside of one end, crimped it, put a few chunks of solder inside it, and then heated it up with a torch. I flared the other end so it does not fall through the lid, it works great!
