Today marks 1/2 way point of dry Feb.

March could be ugly

is it just a coincidence that you have picked the shortest month?

Good idea Scotty, dry out for a month and then proceed at full speed.

I try to have at least 2 AFD's per week. Alcohol Free Days. I find I operate better.

at the moment am enjoying a spot of the old Saporo. Yum.

Hey ET,

The Mrs and I made a pact to go dry for February after the festive season with 2 weeks in Fiji thrown in we needed a break from it.
The Mrs nearly broke last Saturday when she said "there's a 6 pack of Crownies in the back fridge".
I said she could have them but she didn't.
It was so farkin hot last weekend in Sydney so if I can get through that I'll be sweet next 14 days.

Re: Dry Feb.
I reckon the Mrs will crack this Saturday.
Then I can get back on it.
Just don't want to be the first.

Geez the old Rumbo champion

A sales rep who calls in at work female is doing a dry Feb, she laughed when I copied someone in here joke about the shortest month. I've just downed a stone and wood now I've just cracked a bottle of rum first rim in a long long time.

If Feb was 18 days long then I'll be sweet

Chasing down some Rose with some homebrew I'm not totally stoked with the result. i posted above about a couple of Coopers worts I was trying out...Well unfortunately 1kg of malts is not the go unless you like a light stout haha...1 pints ok, but then you need to divert to something lighter & brighter. Probably would have been ok in winter, mate reckons it tastes like Porter which would of been awesome if I was trying to brew Porter lol...back to the old drawing board, its ok but thank fark I have a spare keg to fill...

Big match tom - surely you will indulge

well done for getting that far. I had most of Jan off (in hospital so had no choice) but have been making up for it

Damn accidenty added yeast to start a couple of brews at 34c without looking (should be 21-27)...have them both in the bath with all available ice & some cold water. Probably gonna have to grab a couple of 5kg bags to bring them down in temp tomorrow...Damn! Just did my usual 1/2 kettle of water & filled from the rainwater tank. Rainwater tank must be heaps warmer than usual. Must be due to a new house built on that side with sun rays reflective roof at side wall level & less seabreeze on that side of the house. Just hope the next brews don't taste like methanol lol

Explains why my last brew did not taste as expected & some extra hangovers experienced lately

That's why I buy my brew from the bottle shop Mick. Too easy

Nothing ventured, nothing gained

Have discovered Coopers Mild at 3.5% - 1 standard drink per 375 ml full size stubby.
Not bad taste, and easier to cope with driving legally after a few.
