Beer, cider, friends, fun... and the GRE.

This weekend was rather productive. I:

- Went to the farmer's market with [livejournal.com profile] ursule.
- Started a batch of hard cider made from apple cider bought at said market (pure juice, no preservatives!)
- Cleaned up yeast blow-out from the aforementioned hard cider.
- Finally bottled the pumpkin ale that I started in November. 8.1%, and darn tasty.
- Hung out with [livejournal.com profile] ursule, [livejournal.com profile] tejolote, and [livejournal.com profile] ryunohi during a general craft night at our place.
- Consumed beer, scotch, and pizza with the aforementioned people.
- Hacked together a holder for engraving coin dies.
- Did a bunch of GRE practice questions.
- Went for a nice walk through the forested area of Ravenna Park with [livejournal.com profile] ursule.
- Played some video games (okay, so this wasn't exactly productive).

You can't really brew in a keg, unless you want it to explode.

Yes, but you can decant from one into a charming container.

Not really, kegs are heavy and you'd violate the cleanliness by decanting. Might as well use a barrel. :D
