April Showers Bring Bruins' Goal-less Loss

A bit bitter. Met up with some pesky Canadian fans in the North End on my way home from work. I was excited about the B's v Habs for game 4 of their first round playoffs here in Beantown. Series at 1-2 in favor of the freedom haters. I booed at the site of said pesky canucks and told them that the B's would prevail. I was wrong. I am bitter.

In the mean time, Doogie Posner once again graciously subbed in for Boomer, who had a rather important meeting tonight. Let's just say that Ms. Boomer will be excited about the agenda once all is revealed. And I do enjoy knowing what is about to transpire.

Anyhoo, it was fitting that I remain bitter. Doogie Posner helped bring this Bruins Brew to fruition, despite the loss. One high point was the Cuban sandwiches. Also, the Boston Marathon is 5 days away now. Craziness.

Brewed a Patriot Summer Ale/Bitter German Beverage for my bro's upcoming nuptials. Hopefully the Deutchlanders will approve come July 26, 2008.

.5 lb of wheat grain steeped for 45 minutes.
1.3 oz of Saaz hops for 60 minutes
Added 3.52 lbs of BierKeller's Unhopped Light Premium Malt for last 20 minutes
2 grams of "grains of paradise" at 15 minutes
1 tblspn of Irish Moss at 15 minutes
.33 oz of Van Guard for last 5 minutes
Safbrew S-33 yeast (dry)

Initial reading (because I should put it on the labels) is 6.5. REMEMBER TO TAKE ANOTHER READING!!!

Off to bed,
