Bottled to 40 12oz bottles. This brew came out bad because of poor sanitization. I learned a valuable lesson about spending adequate time pre-bottling.

This is some funny shit. I’m speechless…

If you haven’t seen this audio plugin for Mac or Windows then download this now. It’s been around for a little while but it slipped under my radar. It has some of the sickest visuals I’ve ever seen and is totally customizable and tweekable. It even allows you to use an external audio source. There’s a free version that flashes a message on the screen every now and then but it’s only 10 bucks.
