I really want "Yet another Wil Wheaton Sausage Fest" Tee Shirt. If you make them, we will buy them.
I am literally playing The Dead Meemaw Card so that you'll watch me on The Big Bang Theory tonight.
Yes, I am literally playing The Dead Meemaw Card so that you'll watch me on The Big Bang Theory tonight.
Will - you might consider getting a copper immersion wort chiller - I made one myself years ago when I was brewing in college, but considering the cost of them now, it's much easier to just buy one.

Your local shop sells them I have little doubt.
Just drop that sucker in the wort, run water though it from the sink and it cools magically in seconds.
Copper + Water + Thermodynamics ='s Awesome
Notes on the making of my Polymorph Porter
Monday night, I opened a bottle of the first porter I brewed. I took a picture for the Internets that looks something like this: (click image to embiggen at Imgur) It turned out much better than I expected, considering there was a near disaster when I brewed it. Read on if you want to hear a s...
Hey Wil,
Just had a random thought, I (and I'm sure a ton of people that read your blog) would love to see you and Ryan make a single six pack of beer and auction it off for Child's Play.

Wil - Next time you make a porter or a stout make your bread and freeze it until the beer is ready to drink. Add pastrami, Sierra Nevada Brewery Mustard, and a good swiss cheese to your dark porter/stout bread, drink with aforementioned Beer. Enjoy, and thank me later.
PS - Just recently got into Eureka because of you, made it though Season 1 this week, though I have skipped ahead to see the Wheaton episodes. Well done sir, well done.
on birthdays and making beer
Anne and I took the train up to Santa Barbara for my birthday, and it was awesome. Because I've complained about Amtrak employees who were dicks in the past (K. Williams on the southbound Surfliner to Comicon, I'm looking in your snotty, sarcastic, condescending direction), it's important to me ...
