Highs/Lows for the week...
Ok - so this might seem a little weird and PC by my usual standards but in team meetings at work I encourage people to give a quick "barometer" check of their week to see how they are going. It helps people crystallize their thoughts into the essential things that are going on. So I thought I would try it here on the forum.
There are only 3 rules:
1. You must provide an answer when asked as you would in a team meeting at work - if you are lucky enough ;-) (volunteer out of turn - it's fine on a forum);
2. You may have as many highs for the week as you can reasonably think of but at least one is compulsory; and
3. You may have a maximum of only 1 low for the week.
So what are my items this week? Glad you asked....
Highs:
1. California Lager yeast (Wyeast 2112) - wow, just loving it and the fact that beers take so little time to condition up!
2. Quick disconnects for my gas on my corny kegging system - how did I live before hand. If people want to get you a cheap but valuable present for birthday/father's day/any other reason then get them to buy you a QD's for less than $35.

Low:
1. Promising 15L of beer to a friend on Friday 30th May and knowing that you don't have a hope in hell as it's that good it won't last that long! ;-)

High : Mint brewing session on Barts Belgian Wit
Low : One last check after pitching to check the Fermenter tap is on tight to have it break off in my hand
High : Wife rescued me by quickly sterilising another fermenter and transferring it
Low : Lost 2l on the garage floor and over me/wife
High : First time I tried 3944. Amazing yeast and beer looks saved !

High: redeeming the free $20 of beer from Liquorland. Free beer, specially good beer, rocks.
High: Kegging, then tapping the next night, the latest batch of an all-sauvin golden/summer ale, and finding it better than the commercial alternative I'd had earlier in the week (3 Boys Golden).
Low: Finding out on Sunday morning that the keg I'd switched the tap across from for the new one has a leaky poppet, evidenced by beer all over the floor. Arse.

and an old 3 Boys Golden... not sure when the last batch was brewed but it is a summer seasonal!

Kind of figured that was the case - aroma was a bit lacking for what I was expecting. Martin, I'll do my best to see you get to try some and see what you think.

funnily enough I just read in the SOBA mag, yesterday, that 3 Boys Golden is now all year 'round (permanently on tap at Pomeroy's and the official beer of the Rogby World Cup 2011)
