#1 has "The Gas"

We are bubbling right along in the dart/beer fermenting room. The temp remains at a constant 72F which should nuture some nice meade. Then in 7-10 days we'll dry-hop it for the last phase. I am personally excited about the path our new brewing is taking and will fill in the crowd about the labels and caps that I have found.

Brew Batch #1

Numero Uno went off without a hitch. It was a helluva crowd too. Wayne- Naval chapter (or the Seaman as I like to call him), Rusty- AU chapter co-founder, Merry- of the self-proclaimed "I want to be one of the 'original' members that has weathered through the storm and made it to the new TnDC sect" but would like all of her fans from this evening to know that she will not be able to make all of the TnDCs due to scheduling conflicts and 130mi. that separate her from the rest of the flock, E-train- Eutaw chapter (an no she's not Mormon), Krystal- Alexander City chapter, Emily- Vulcan (where Spock is from) chapter, Steph- somewhere from the backwoods of GA (but we don't hold that against her). I am sure I am leaving someone out, just email me.
EPA will be the starter batch to this group
>2030hrs- broke in the new equipment
>0200hrs- 26th pitched the yeast and have come up with some great quick chill methods to use later
OG was 1.057+0.002@75F
Thanks to everyone who came out and yes you may have a bottle and an invitation for the next batch!

A New Generation of TnDCer

At 206am today, Joshua Daniel Jelich (JD to his homies in the natal room) was brought into this world. He weighed in at a svelte 6 pounds 15 ounces 19 1/4 " with a full head of black hair and an undetermined nose;) Pictures to for posting soon, I hope. JD we'll drink to you tomorrow night.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Means "Ireland Forever" The tradition of St. Patrick's Day was first brought to Boston in 1737 to commemorate the death of this man. Followers wore shamrocks on feast day because Maewyn (St. Patrick) used them to explain the Holy Trinity and as far as the tale about him giving a sermon on a hilltop that drove out all of the snakes in Ireland, well... there have never been any snakes native to Ireland. But Guinness is made there:)

and we're back!!!

After a long hiatus, the original TnDC blog is back. Sorry to the true fans, but we were temporarily under the thumb of an egotistical, hypocritical, two-faced little man who tried to keep us down and ride our coat-tails to fame. (We'll call him Nobalz-for short;). Hopefully I will be able to get this blog up and running with as much fan base as the last. Thanks for the support and maybe we will have a new home with more web-space soon too!
Cheers
