The latest grain/malt/hop/yeast concoction is a dark one. Northern Brewers 'Black IPA'. Which as they say, is...'an ebony brew with a beige head that is surrounded by an aromatic citrus-and-pine force field, backed by a smooth roastiness redolent of cocoa and French roast coffee'. The yeasties are nearly done their first round of fermentation; at which point the whole lot will be siphoned into the secondary fermenter. The final product should pack a hoppy punch, just the way we like it.


Nice lookin winter whitetail

Tonight's post comes amidst cups of minty-ginger-lemon tea and resting, as we have been bound to home by a week long midwinter head-cold of gross proportions. I'll spare you the details.

Lake Superior whitefish baked skin on.


Beauty batch of homemade granola...apple sauce from this past summer to sweeten. This along with a scoop of blueberries and a couple dollops of N's home yogurt, get me started in the morning. Pretty simple stuff, that tastes great.
