Today was fun. All went pleasantly. The highlight of the day was the brewing of the braggot.

modeleccentric was the master brewer, I was the grasshopper.

The process:

Sterilize instruments
Boil two pots of water...2 gallons for the boiling of the honey, 1 for the malt.
Steep ginger in the malt mixture, black, hops and other spices in the honey mixture
Mix toghether at the end and let cool

Let the record reflect that the honey was boiling on a uber-large bunson burner outside. Let the record also reflect that the neighborhood bees were drawn to this vat of sweetness. Furthermore, it must be understood that

modeleccentric was engaged in a hot battle with said bees, armed with a broom and many choice unintelligible words. Think the father in "A Christmas Story".

Also overheard, while

modeleccentric was adding the yeast nutrient to the honey pot:

"We've secretly replaced this man's yeast nutrient with arsenic. Let's see if he notices."

Now, I ought to head to bed. Berkeley beckons in the morning.
