:welcome: Nice work Jon, looks like a good recipe :cheers2:
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

I shiver each time I see a glass carboy placed on bare concrete.

Try dropping one half-full of sanitizer on concrete with just flip flops on! Happened 10yrs ago. At least the basement smelled clean for awhile. Only got one little cut on my big toe. Never cleaned Carboys while drinlking after that.

I need a Topper icon (from Dilbert).

That's nothing. Marta dropped a whole carboy of red wine. Couldn't have been white...
Currently on tap: Nothing!
In keg: Still nothing.

I didn't follow... did she run into it with the car?
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

When I was younger my father had two carboys of red wine sitting on a board supported by milk crates underneath...he moved one of the carboys off of the board and the board flipped up causing the second carboy to hit the concrete. In all of my life I've never seen him so pissed off. Red Wine everywhere!
