So, tomorrow I'll be racking my latest batch of beer from the primary fermenter to the secondary. It's my first attempt at a nut brown ale, and will be the first time I keg instead of bottling. I'm excited; if you'd like, I'll give a report on the results in about 3 weeks when it's ready.

It's about time this became a proper, upstanding honest-to-goodness BEER thread. As someone posted earlier, start banging the glasses and make some noise! Yes, I'd love to read your report.

It would be much better if this became an archive thread than a beer thread. We've had almost a week of discussion on the topic and I think all the regulars have had a read of it if not a response. There may be some uncovered ground out there, but I think the various posters have said everything that needs saying.

For any new person coming in, this isn't among the first threads I would want them to read, but of course that's just my opinion. If you're in agreement, though, let's try not to keep this thing bumped to the top of the list any longer than is necessary. Diverting to beer or motorcycles will just keep the rest of it around that much longer. Not to mention that threadjacking is impolite.

I quit smoking to afford beer.
I quite drinking to afford life.
I quit Faceb00k out of impatience with bad apps, bad intolerance and general overadvertising.

I occasionally smoke.
I now never drink.
I haven't re-started FB, but when I do I may only post in rant mode.

I miss them all.

Flax, good luck - I miss it all! Then again, I live close to DC!

I wiIl offer an apology to ALL for the tone and tenor of my post above.

It was reactionary and I am trying to remember (and follow the credo) that discretion is the better part of valor.

This is the only online forum that I frequent regularly. Sometimes I am here several times a day just to look, watch read and post and see how my friends ? bass players, guitar players or both - all over the Globe are doing.

I think it is so cool to be hooked in electronically ? or whatevertheheck the internet is ? with a genius and legend like Ron Wickersham. We are invited guests into the home of Ron and Susan Frates Wickersham and their lovely family, which includes the benevolent Mica.

Alembic is a family company that has never sold out, never compromised its integrity and has never budged an inch on the highest possible quality products. We are all here because of that vision and mission.

This forum offers therapeutic respite for me in an all too chaotic world. I am sorry to have rocked a rocking boat. We are indeed all musicians. I hope we can all continue to play together.
