I have not abandoned this account!

Well, I kinda did.. But..

Work has gotten in the way of the brewing (and most every other tweaker projects I had laying around) I travel, a *lot* now, and setting aside a week or two to manage an actively fermenting stout is just not in the cards currently. 

There has been activity as of late tho.. Built a new counterflow chiller, and working on a new mash tun..  Our hops we planted last year (way late) seem to be coming back.. Well, 2 of the 6 rhizomes, anyway.. That reminds me, I need to go out back, and check on them puppies..

Off to New Orleans, then to Belgorod, Russia for a bit.. Be back later..  :D
