Small Engine Guys

We at TnDC aren't just brewers, we're Renaissance Men, or as we age that's the goal. Building better brew equipment or just trying new products occasionally and posting the "wow's" and poo's" about them happens as well. I've noticed I tend to "fix" more things the older my kids get and this was a "fix" for Daddy. My Husqvarna 125B leaf blower was in desperate need of some TLC with regards to fuel lines and maybe even a new carburetor. Well, that's when I found Small Engine Guys. This guy saved me $140 and the video was so easy, I have the spare carb saved for later just in case it's needed. I implore you to take in this guy's videos and purchase through his links. I'm so stoked about my blower starting the first time, every time and running like a scalded dog that I'm redoing my 125CD weed eater today as well.

Brew Batch #162 It Ain't Helen...Georgia

I'll say this, the FG was quite a surprise as I never really saw the Munich 2203 kick up. Lager yeast is truly a different animal. But into the keg it went this morning at 1.006-0.001 @46F to give a slightly lighter abv than last time 5.25%. It has a beautiful color and may actually make it into a gullet before month's end after all. 

Brew Batch #162.5 At the Kiddie Table

So when it's brew day at your local brewery and they have 5 gallons of second runnings left from a quad they're doing, you gotta take those, right?! So at home with a monster pitch of B63 Omega I had left over from Southie-12 with an OG of 1.050 +0.002@ 82F. Not sure it will qualify for table beer abv levels but it was mashed at 153-154F so we'll see where it finishes.
