We are brewing our Dunkelweizen Weizen tonight...

We forgot to mill some of our mash grains so Matt is rolling them old school. 

This is the beginingins of our mash.


Being that this is a partial grain, partial extract brew we will keep it simple as a blog post and save the more elaborate one for tomorrow's all grain Vector Curl Vanilla Stout.

Have. Great night!

Anxiety, Depression, PTSD: Let’s Talk



I have been muddling around for a new topic for my blog. I tend to do a lighter topic and then a heavier topic in succession to not overwhelm readers and myself. This topic will be a heavy one. It will also be a very personal one.


Mental health in America comes with an undeniable stigma attached. I am hoping, through this project, to challenge that stigma, to open the eyes of the judgmental and to bring about a safe place of healing and understanding for those who suffer. I will most likely keep this project open for at least 2 weeks so we can give it the time and respect it needs.

I invite you to please. Tell us your stories. This will only work if people are willing to help. Write on these pages telling us your tales. If you would prefer to be anonymous please write to me in a private message and I will post your story without your name attached!


Please be kind to others as we interact on this topic!
