Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I can't say that mine could have gone any better than it did. Had a great Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family on Friday. Drank a few Sam Adams Light while frying the turkey (Now 4 years with no major disasters or injuries!), also sampled a Yuengling Light for the first time. Not a bad brew, a good full tasting light beer, I can see this becoming a tennis party staple.
Got up Friday morning, drove my TR6 around a bit with mi padre. We went to check out a 1964 Land Rover Series IIa that I was interested in, turned out to be a rust bucket so no dice. Played golf that afternoon, weather was perfect. Played poorly on the front nine, broke out a cigar on the back and played much better. Won a few bucks and had a nice pint of Guinness in the clubhouse after the round, always a pleasure.
Got up Saturday, figured I had a few hours to kill before the UGA v. Georgia Tech football game, why not try brewing some beer. Brewed my first big batch o' beer, it went well with no issues. Beer is now sitting quietly in my basement while the yeast does its magic. That gives me about 2-3 weeks to find a used pepsi keg to put the finished product in.
The weekend was capped off by the wonderful results of "Clean, Old Fashioned Hate", GT 48 - UGA 45. Best game I have seen in a while, just glad it ended in a Yellow Jacket win. Spent the rest of Saturday drinking off my kegs (Sweetwater IPA, been trying to kill that keg for a few weekends but it refuses to die...) and watching football. Sunday was spent doing nothing and basking in the glow of a wonderful few days.
I'll keep everyone up to date on the fermenting progress and my search for a keg, until then...
Happy Drinking!!
