About three-ish hours tonight but he had to wait three additional hours for the liquid yeast (you're welcome for that phrase!) to prep. Then it will be fully conditioned/ready to drink in about two weeks. It's shorter than other kinds of beer but I forget why. It smells nice in our house right now! This is DH's newest hobby. It's his third brew.

H brews beer too. And we make wine. It's really fun and the end product is usually delicious (minus H's pumpkin ale which was gross).

Oooooh! Beer and wine is impressive! Do you stomp grapes a la I Love Lucy? That's what I picture in my head. DH was mentioning making wine but I don't really know how much time and effort it entails. I am very lazy.

Liquid Yeast = Moist

Words I hate.

I hate the word moist, worst word ever...

I'm helping H rub his meat...

cabgirl sorry you had to hear bad news through FB. I hope your brother is ok.

That's not bad at all!

Do you guys do it for fun or because it's more economical? More delicious?  

I feel like our alcohol budget is out of control but also I'm so lazy.

I'm sorry to hear that cabgirl. I hope everything is ok.

It's super easy. You can buy the kits and you mix stuff together, let it sit, add more stuff, let sit longer. And someday I WILL stomp grapes to make wine.

Mostly for fun though the wine usually makes around 24 750ml bottles and kits are usually about 70 ot 80 bucks.

cabgirl sorry you had to hear via FB. That's not OK- Hope he's alright.

It's not okay. She's AWing on Facebook, and she didn't bother to let us know that he was going to the hospital. She also didn't drive him. The hospital he goes to (he's hospitalized for cystic fibrosis fairly regularly) is an hour away, and she said in her status update that he was feeling "weak and sick." He left fifteen minutes ago. I'm so fucking angry right now.

mill23 DH is in it for fun but we can definitely save some cash since each brew is two or three cases of beer. It's pretty delicious but DH is a beer snob and I am not. So far, it's been my job to help drink the majority of brew 2 since it's not his preferred beer (IPA). I have a lot more beer left. Like beer for weeks. The stout is also for me sooooo I think I am set for the spring! Then he'll get back to mixing IPAs for himself.

notthedroids we may look into making wine this summer. I'm intrigued. I just hate hate hate following/reading directions. It may be my downfall. What kinds of wine have you made? Also, that's nice of you to help your DH with his meat LOL

Just heard that my brother is back in the hospital, via Facebook. Thanks, brother's weird fiance, for letting my family find out that way. Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck.

All the ((hugs)). So not cool to find out through Facebook. I can't count the number of times I've found out that my niece and nephew are in the ER through there. It's a horrible feeling. I hope he's ok! Are you going to see him or do you live far away?

We have a moscato we are bottling this weekend, we made a raspberry peach sangria that was amazing (island mist brand), and gewurztraminer. I'm super excited about the moscato!

[requiressnacks]

Me and my sister just split a bottle of wine. The big bottle.

Holler!!

[shemarie82]

Vodka and cranberry with lime. Tingly, right away!

It's really not cool. And I'm ragey that she let him drive feeling that sick. The hospital is an hour (maybe more like an hour and a half) away from him. He just started going to a new hospital, and I haven't been there yet, but I'll visit if/as soon as I can. I have to work tomorrow, unfortunately. Right now I'm mostly concerned with him getting there okay and getting admitted.

Sorry cabgirl. That sounds like an awful situation.

I'm watching married at first sight for the first time and missed the first 15 minutes. I'm so confused.

Yeah, that is a total bitch move making him drive himself. I'd be so freaking nervous for him! My FX are crossed for him (and you)!

She might have to work tonight (she often works nights), but if that's the case, she should have called a car service or a cab for him if he insisted on driving. Or, shit, one of his family members - any one of us would have dropped everything to drive him. And I hate that she thinks it's appropriate to post this shit on Facebook before any of us have been notified. Especially when she's apparently clueless as to what's actually going on and why he is sick. This woman is almost 40 years old and should damn well know better.

So, she posted this earlier: "I think Friday is the only day I don't mind getting up super early. I like having Friday night off every week." So she isn't working tonight. WHY THE FUCK DID SHE NOT DRIVE HIM.

That's not cool. Hospital trip AW's are a big pet peeve of mine. That fact that she sent him alone just makes her look like an ass. I hope your brother is ok.

this kind of sounds like my SIL. We learn half of what's going on with them via FB. MH is not a fan. She's just a cray cray AW, TBH. a little bipolar. Sorry you have to deal with that.

Thanks. She IS an ass. And she constantly AW's on Facebook, about everything, but it pisses me off that she uses my brother's health problems for that. 

I hope he's okay too. Unfortunately, it'll probably be a while before I know.

Sparkly, how's the solo night going? Do you get a glass of wine when you're toddler gets to sleep?
