Sour Glue

I had a fairly productive weekend.  The interior plumbing is installed and complete.  It works really well, we no longer need to connect the vinyl hose to the laundry room faucet.  There is a spigot on the outside of the shed for incoming water, and three inside.  One for the carbon filter, immersion chiller and the future utility sink.  I am paranoid about the residual smell of the pvc glue, hopefully we don't go blind drinking the beer.

I also brewed ten gallons of Belgian Pale.  Five got the Antwerp ale yeast and the other five got a Brettanomyces/Sacchoramyces blend which will be the start the sour barrel project.  The cake from that beer will then be used to ferment the Dark Medicine, which will also go into the barrel.

I'm not sure how I feel about the prospects of going blind and something called "dark medicine". Makes me thing that you may have started following the ways of the raccoon.
