In my world, Brew Day can trump any previous day I've had that week. I brewed with my brew club, actually, it was just Patrick and I. We both love Belgian Beer, and decided to brew a Witbier.
This Witbier was to be brewed using techniques barely known by most homebrewers. I won't go into details, but we used a type of Mashing process called Turbid Mashing. You can see in a couple of the pictures during our first Turbid Mash runnings, we got this milky white Wort from the grain.
It is a lengthy Mash schedule, but I would gamble to say it will turn out to be some incredible beer. Patrick really knows his stuff, and it is from him that I learned to do All Grain Brewing.
We ended up with about 20 gallons. Check out the Link to the pictures: BREW DAY!
Today, like a crazy fool, I decided to go out and run 20 miles, all on road, in the heat of the day.
I paid dearly for it. My heart rate was high as it typically is when it's hot outside. I walked a little more than I wanted to, but it was just to get fluids in me and to keep moving.
I needed to do this to help me get ready for Javelina. It probably won't be as hot in October/November out there, but I want to be prepared.
You'll see me posting more on my heat training in weeks to come. I plan on running in my garage on my treadmill with the door shut for extra heat. It gets so hot in there.
I plan on some more crazy "training" so stay tuned. Just when you thought I was nuts.......it's gonna get more interesting.
Now that is a cool picture. Yes you are crazy... but in a good way.
