Hah, damned autocorrect--I did not mean to write "iPhone"!

Mead was my gateway drug into home brewing. About two months ago I paid $15 for a learn to make mead class a friend held, and came back with a one gallon carboy of must (4 lbs of honey) into which I tossed some homegrown haskaps and then pitched my yeast.

Before I even racked that off into secondary, I had a 3 gallon carboy holding a melomel made with local wild blueberries. It's taking a slower fermentation path, but when I tasted it at 1.055 SG it was all good.

Since then I've made ginger beer (just bottled) and 3 gallons of cider that's ready to be racked off, as well as several batches of kombucha.

For those of you who have trouble writing things down, if you have an Android iPhone I recommend trying out the Mead Mate app. Free, no ads, just focused on helping you track all the important data and data points. Helps my scattered mind!

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines brings me back for a playthrough every year or so. Amazing music and atmosphere, engaging characters, and different dialogue depending on the clan you choose, your humanity levels, etc.

I fired up my XBox 360 last year to get a fix of Beatles Rock Band. It's criminal that that game isn't available on modern platforms! Also regretting not having purchased more of its DLC when it was still available.
