Measuring the FG of my Apfelwein experiment.
I've never had something ferment down this far, to an even 1.000 FG @ 72F.

Brewed 7 Feb
OG 1.064 @ 74F
FG: 1.019 @ 66F
Estimated ABV: 6.17%
Yield: 45 bottles @ 12oz per =~ 4.25gal

Definitely like an EBA, but now it has to sit around in bottles for a bit. Should be pretty ts

Notes:
I need to actually measure one of these bottles after I fill it, either my batch sizes are greatly less then the should be, a lot of water is evaporating that I can't account for, or the bottles hold more then 12oz each.

Casualties include:
- 1x bottling wand nipple, luckily I still had the original one I'm borrowing from a friend.

Fallout: New Vegas
Good story, more so then Fallout 3, and more in-line with FO1 and 2. Even though there is alot of recycled art from FO3, there's still a ton of new art and overall look and feel is new and fresh. There are a TON of small enhancements to what you may already know of Fallout 3.
There are still MANY, MANY graphical bugs, but I didn't find anything game breaking or overly annoying.

Overall, I still highly recommend this if you like FPS-style-RPGs or like the Wasteland/Fallout universe.

Available on Amazon (PC, PS3, XboX) and Steam (PC)

Just finished getting my first go at Apfelwein (German Apple Wine.. basically Cider)... super easy to make, just grab 5 gallons of Apple Juice (100% juice, no additive stuff..), add some sugar to it to up-proof it.. add yeast.. wait 3-4 months..

I'm calling this possibly a Dunkle Apfelwein, because I added brown sugar to it, giving it a darker tint (normally it'd just be the typical light-golden of apple juice).

OG: 1.076 @ 65F

If I get around a 75% apparent attenuation, then it'll come out around 7-8% ABV.. YUM!

IS-2 Ale, on New Years Eve (Bottle conditioned for approximately 4 weeks).

Weighs in at 9.1% ABV, has a pretty good taste to it, great head, and almost the perfect color I was aiming for (see the other Color test photo to get a better idea of it).
I wish it had a slightly heavier taste (it tastes a tiny bit thin still...), but it's greatly improved over bottling day.

The Wolfman
Starring: Benicio del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt, Hugo Weaving
While I guess I can buy del Toro as an English son of Anthony Hopkins and a Gypsy, it still feels weird. Aside from that, this is actually pretty decent historical action film. While I wouldn't recommend dropping $20+ on it, if you can get it cheaper, or rent/borrow it, it's definitely worth a watch.
Available at Amazon.com [Blu-Ray, DVD, VoD] or Netflix

Whip It
Staring: Ellen Page, Drew Berrymore, Kristen Wiig, Marcia Gay Harden, Juliette Lewis
This is actually a pretty decent coming of age story focusing on a small-town girl trying to be part of something bigger. It's also largely educational about the re-emergence of the Female Roller Derby scene. Well worth a watch, and not a tear jerker.. Just remember she's underage guys...

Taken in downtown Gainesville, Florida at 11am.. So the sun has even had several hours to come out and warm the place some. It was just around 2C outside when this photo was taken.

Just goes to prove, it -can- get cold in Florida.
