I didn't play enough today, nor have I for the last 5 days or so. Got into a big fight with the g/f yesterday so I hardly played at all.

The stout my buddy and I have been brewing will be ready tonight, he's coming over soon and we're going to try it out. If it is as good as we think we're going to be experimenting with adding coffee and molasses to another two batches. We'll also continue to brew this one and probably mess around with another recipe or two (we're shooting for 5, 5-gallon batches this time, instead of 1, 5-gallon batch.)

Our goal is to brew enough beer so we don't have to purchase beer at all. This probably means we need about 30-50 gallons of beer a month (the process is about a month long). A later goal is to make a "beer meal." This would consist of an appetizing beer, something light, then some sort of nut brown ale or other darker but not super dark beer, then a really good stout for the third beer. The last beer would be the "dessert" beer and probably include a lot of chocolate malt, maybe with coffee or molasses, depending on the third beer's ingredients. Let me know if any of you has any ideas.

Back to poker, if anybody reading this blog hasn't heard, a higher up executive or former executive from Absolute Poker was found to be using that "super user" account. If you haven't even heard about that, basically that means he had access to the hole cards of every player at the table. Yikes. Here's a link with a great summary of what has happened so far: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...part=1&vc=1

That's about it for now, will update soon.
