Comments on: Developing B&W, Notes for Kate http://1pt4.com/blog/developing-bw-notes-for-kate/ Wed, 01 Feb 2012 02:06:43 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: I should post more often! » Anthony Rants http://1pt4.com/blog/developing-bw-notes-for-kate/comment-page-1/#comment-1474 I should post more often! » Anthony Rants Mon, 09 Apr 2007 05:21:03 +0000 http://www.1point4photography.com/blog/developing-bw-notes-for-kate/#comment-1474 [...] My latest hobby, home brewing, whose effort is tentatively called the Benjamin Brewing Company is rolling right along. I have progressed to brewing entirely with grain. Home brewing is usually done either with malt extract, a syrup of what is essentially preprocessed grains OR raw grain. Brewing with raw grain is really fun, I'll have a post later this week going through most of a typical brew day, maybe a sort of home brew in as little as 27 simple steps (ala Matt). I recently entered a home brew contest not really expecting much except honest feedback from accredited judges. The beer I entered is something I suppose can be relatively challenging to brew well. It is known as Scottish Light Ale, and mine is known as BBC 60 Shilling Ale. Well, as it turns out, I got 2nd place in my category of nine entries (Control+F, search for Anthony, they spelled Shilling wrong :p). It is really exciting considering this is the first contest I have entered, and I can't wait to get my ribbon and score sheets back. The next contest I will be entering is a local one (the 13th Annual Boneyard Brew-Off). I will be entering at least three beers into that contest and I hope to do even better :-) My brewing hobby has also given me an excuse to spend even more of my free time in Photoshop (and more recently Illustrator). I leave you with my latest beer label. [...] [...] My latest hobby, home brewing, whose effort is tentatively called the Benjamin Brewing Company is rolling right along.

That's why the chemistry goes in bottles, and the drink goes in a glass. Always good to smell your drink just before taking a swig, just in case. Good point.

Always good to smell your drink just before taking a swig, just in case.

Just another good reason not to use stop bath; that stuff is really nasty. FWIW, I do my drinking _after_ hanging up the film. Too worried that I'll swig the wrong bottle.
