Nov. Posting

Just in time to have a post for November. Brother Tyler and I bottled the Poor Richard's Ale. Tastes...uh...I guess we'll see what it's like in a couple weeks. If you google around for "poor Richard's ale extract" you'll see the recipe. The only change I made was no corn, and slightly different hops (kent goldings). I used the White Labs Scottish ale yeast. I might, might, be brewing next weekend. It would be a solo brew, and I think it will be a plain ol' stout.

Also, finished my single speed conversion/referb of my dads old Firestone "Dix Vita" 10 speed. There is not a straight joint on that cheap frame. But, it was all about learning, and learn I did. I have to un-thighten a couple of links in the chain, as it wants to skip a little, and the seat needs to go up, but asside from that I am happy with it. All told, I have $50 into it, mostly for tires and getting a new axle for the rear wheel. I guess if it really sucks, I can take it apart and build a garden cart, or something.
