Well she's bubblin' on up again. How about that.

Yeah and that's terrible. Don't date right now you're supposed to be staying in due to covid.

Don't date right now you're supposed to be staying in due to covid. There's your advice.

Ok, so it was at 1.000 but with the tea and extra honey I'm up at 1.030 and a full 6.5 gallons (maybe a little more, there was some... overflow). I can't imagine there will be any more fermentation out of there at ~11%, but I'll go ahead and let it sit for another week or two before I take another reading. Definitely gonna have to rack through some cheesecloth though- goddamn there be some sediments up innit.

Before bed every night I say a prayer to Akatosh, Dragon God of Time. I'm also generally drunk.

That's more something the brother in law does, but sounds very cool. Also i decided i'm definitely adding vanilla in secondary.

I'm already dominant there. I'm the boss.

He left the organization like a week before i came onboard so he wasn't ever my boss, but he recently came bqck and now i'm his boss. Dunno just thought it was funny and felt like sharing.

It tasted like beer alright.

Beer.

All right so when i said "actively fermenting" i prolly should have said "offgassing." Bigass bubbles up in there yet though... Just took a hydrometer reading and its still the same. Now what i think happened is the yeast just ate about all the available sugars. So i'm thinking about adding another six pounds of honey interspersed in a half-gallon of peach tea. That feels like a good idea.

A while back i forgot what good and plenty were so i bought a box to try them out. First bite made me instantly remember how much i hated them.

Was it too heavy?

Just did another reading- still actively fermenting and up to ~11.03%.

Oh man thats nasty. I know beer has a much higher risk of infection than mead, but i'd think yoy could just pitch some more and use the dead stuff as nutrient- thats pretty much what yeast hulls are anyway.

Mr. Bubble

No.

Nah I wrote my own prayer I say before bed every night. "O Lord Akatosh, Dragon God who is Time- I thank you for Today I thank you for All Yesterdays I thank you for All Tomorrows to Come. Please grant me the mindfulness to exist within the present, The strength to build upon my past, And the grace to walk along your path into the future. Praise be Akatosh." True story.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain. You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Yeah well your god is false too.

Its not a "creepy pasta" but a short story- "the human chair"

So now that our inventory is completed I have to go an hour north and help with their inventory. They'll pay for a hotel room overnight in case we get a blizzard. I don't like any part of that.

FUCKING NO IT ISN'T.
