fun & energetic anime

If you’re up a cartoon that seems like the writers have ADHD and freebased a concoction of caffeine and sugar, I’d recommend ぱにぽにだっしゅ (Pani Poni Dash). It satirizes Japanese cartoons and culture along with a bit of exported Americanisms. Make sure to watch it with subtitles to translate the background signs and text to double the laughter. If you quaff homemade beer, be sure to swallow fully before laughing.

batch two compliments & batch three availability

So, I passed off a bottle of beer batch two to a friend at a local cafe – he said it was the best beer he’s ever tasted. Me thinks he needs to get out more often, perhaps try a place that doesn’t serve big-named American beers. Batch three is ready but untested – need a good reason to drink besides “Wednesday.”

wiess experiment

So, I tried another brew – Weizenbier with my mini-beer kit.  Unfortunately, my assistant was not here!  Watching the birth of his child or some unlikely excuse.  Thus, I didn’t get the batch correctly made the first time.  About an hour later, I remembered that I forgot to mix in some boosters.  since it was so close to sealing up the keg, I thought I’d try adding boster late.  So, I uncorked the keg, added booster, and stirred.  We’ll see if it turns out or if I spoiled it.  

As for batch two, the “Canadian Draft,” it was a success. A few bottles were less carbonated than the others and there was an unexpectedly nice sweetness to one. Also, when looking at the bottles in the fridge, it looked as if the carbonation bubbles only came half-way up the bottle. Really funky looking, but there was no separation in the liquid. Nevertheless, still very good.
