Santa’s Brewery
Thanks to Santa I’ve got a pressure cooker and some other toys. Working on my first set of slants for yeast [1] right now. I’ve got two Wyeast strains in the fridge and could possibly be picking up another depending on what gets brewed this weekend. Still trying to choose from amonst these choices.
- another Belgian dubbel using the PC Dutch Castle [2]
- another run at the Rochefort 8 clone using the appropriate yeast [3] this time or
- veering wildly and revisiting the Cereal Killer recipe from a little over a year ago.
Going with the latter means a trip to pick up some 1056 [4]. The Belgians sound good but I’ve been having a hankering for an easy drinking blonde for a while and, hey, the CK was a pretty good beer if I do say so myself.
Hope your Christmas was as good as ours. How good was ours? Well, Jim yacked on the carpet from treat/bones overload, Morton is still sporting odd bits of wrapping paper and tape on his coat, Oscar barely crawled out of his kitty bong for dinner, and Elizabeth has rearranged her shrine to feature her salt lamp while watching her new movies. It’s going to be hard to top this next year.

Christmas Jim
Waiting for St. Nick. Tail a-waggin’.
Stella’s Christmas Groove
Too early for Christmas music, but not too early to appreciate downloading a fine Christmas album put out by the folks at Stella Atrois. I warn you it is lots o’ Flash but I was also tell you that this is one of the few times that lots o’ Flash is a good thing. A very good thing.
This is the slinky universe I navigate in my head whilst wandering through this mundane one in which I find myself.
Many thanks to David who pointed toward this in the first place.
It’s back!
The fabulous Santastic mix series has released this years compilation: Santastic V: Snow, Man!. Haven’t listened yet, but based on past experience, it will be good.
Santastic Is Back
Just saw that Santastic III has been unleashed. I haven’t had a chance to listen to the latest issues but if it’s anything like the past releases the quality will run the gamut. A few gems, a few clunkers, and some fair-to-middlin’ stuff to round things out. That first album snagged a few spots on the Millionaire’s Holiday Christmas Sucktacular.
