So, have you advanced to all grain brewing? 

There were three of us that got into brewing in the late 80's early 90's. We were just starting to figure out all grain brewing when kids came along and we shut it all down. One of my buddies has picked it back up and he's produced some excellent beers. He also has bought California grapes and done the full blown crush/press/ferment and age in oak thing and it turned out very well. I've been toying with the idea of doing that next year. 

No, in fact, I don't think I've brewed a batch in over 5 years.  Too much work, or I'm just too lazy.  And all-grain brewing is a whole nother level of work and equipment investment.

I bet that's the one. We did the wild trout trip April 2008. Mill, Little Piney, Spring, Current. 

Who’s who here?

Do the plastic buckets change the flavor?

I'm the short one.

Those are food grade plastic buckets with snap on lids made for fermentation.

I think that might have been the trip where nobody brought a coffee pot and Sr. tried to convince us how delicious skillet coffee is, even with the grease slick.

I believe that was THAT trip with the skillet coffee. We floated 5 miles on the Current, and fished every one of those creeks in a day.

@ness do you remember when glo ball Dave burned down his barn\40’ tall brush pile for us after we grilled pork steaks for a bunch? That was a bonfire for the ages and a very good time. Do any pics remain of that debauchery?
