I know this is none of my business, but I'm curious. Why are they no longer monks?

The same reasons none of us our monks.

Potty mouth and too many tattoos? Cuz those are the only reasons I'm not.

My condolences to Mrs. Klickitat. 

Not necessary.  She likes tattoos and has worse potty mouth than me.

I was referring to you not referring to relations with Mrs Klickitat as a reason for not being a monk. But just kidding of course.

Well the guys did the first all-grain on their own and they did great. I went over and supervised and didn't need to say anything crucial. They even nailed the target OG. Since everything went smoothly I was able to get into water chemistry, showed them bru'n water, and really hammered home term temp.

This is clearly the best part of teaching, having your students demonstrate their learning, knowledge and understanding. It is a testimony of your ability to teach. Teaching only takes place when there is clear evidence of learning. And in this case, when there is drinkable beer! Congratulations!

As you know teaching is a great way to learn. Beginning minds ask amazing questions.
