August 2011 was a good month

August 2011 was a good month. I had a lot of meat up on the smoker. 

It's just the two of us. They look so lonely.

Ribs

Last long these did not.

Ribs and Turkey Legs

Me likey!

Boston Butt

...and I switched to all grain brewing. With the help of Homebrewtalk.com and their useful tutorials I made up an Igloo cooler 10 gallon mash tun with a braid to lauter and my lovely lady had purchased for my birthday an upgraded brew kettle of 7.5 gallon capacity. I love it when I get support for my hobbies!

Oh yeah, let not forget how crazy helpful having Beersmith is for all-grain brewing. It's great to be able to take notes on the fly. If I don't have something with a silicon chip around I'll totally forget. Pen and paper? Who needs em!
