Denny, I find it hard to believe you made an actual living PLAYING music the last 30 years.  Producing and running a studio, sure.  But touring and writing records doesn't give you a good income unless you're the freakin' Rolling Stones or something...
I haven't given up on trying to make it in the music biz, but I'm definitely not going to play something I don't enjoy playing to get there.  If it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen in the style of music I want to play.

No touring for me....I've been there and done that and got too many T shirts!  That was why I opened the studio.  We've done post production and custom music, kinda like Drew mentioned in the OP.  After 28 years, we're in the process of selling off the equipment and closing it down.  Good luck to you...I see you're as idealistic about music as you are about beer.

I guess I am pretty idealistic huh?  What do you plan to do once you've got all that stuff sold and taken care off?  Retire, travel, brew?

So see if they'll help you with a 5 gallon recipe and brew it yourself!

I'm paid to get yelled at.

What do you do?  Work at the DMV?  

Mikey, if I were you I'd be applying for jobs everyday at Left Hand brewery!

This reminds me, I need to get a bunch of plastic totes for storage in our basement in case it rains a ton this spring and the basement gets a little wet.  Better safe than sorry.

Yeast and Fermentation / Re: My brewday got put on hold, will my starter be OK?

Alright, decant and pitch it is.  That's all I usually do, but there usually isn't a 3 day cold crash.

Alright, ya got me, this sounds like a much better plan than what I suggested.

I would add fresh wort to it, let it ferment to high kraeusen and pitch.  OR, cold crash, decant, and add the fresh wort.  Your choice.  Good luck, we're all counting on you.

How long should one age a IIPA?  

however long it takes to carb.  

woman, what did you give that Loch Ness Monsta $3.50 fo'?

judging this weekend, no brewing.

next weekend is the brewing bonanza though.

LOL I Love that episode!  Maybe I'll give the IIPA a couple more weeks than I normally would a regular strength beer.  Or I'll give it the same time, but just condition it for longer than I normally do in the keg.

IIPA on Saturday or Sunday.  Yum.  How long should one age a IIPA?  It's going to be around 8% I think, maybe a little more and about 86 IBU's.  I'm thinking it doesn't need too much aging since you want the hop aroma to be fresh.

We've already got Borg walking around.  They're the ones with the stupid blue tooth things in their ears that look like they're talking to themselves.

What cracks me up is people who can get drunk on light beer. My neighbor is a big 'ol country boy. He won't drink liquor but he gets HAMMERED on Bud Light. I took him out fishing one time and got him wrecked on PBR.

This is amusing    Sounds like a pussy to me.
