Just wanted to say hello to everyone and hope that y'all are handling the torrential rains ok. We could sure use some rains here in Phoenix!
Hope you're each and everyone doing well.

Hello Chuck, hope your well out of the way of the wild fires. I stayed pretty dry here, and managed to brew a 10g batch of Delerium Tremons. How is your brewing going?

Bob: I'm not going to GABF this year, as we're trying to swing a trip to Munich for Oktoberfest. Enjoy the GABF, though - one of these years I've got to get out there. I hear it's a blast!
Corey: the wildfires aren't close enough to Phoenix to threaten the city - there isn't anything to burn here anyway! As far as my brewing goes, I've put a few batches under my belt since January - three batches of Oktoberfest, a Munich Dunkel, a Helles and a Pils. The first batch of Oktoberfest I brewed in February is just now maturing, so I finally have some homebrew to drink! Anyway, brewing here is a challenge - it's so hot in the day, and the groundwater temperatures so high that I have to go through some fairly extraordinary means to chill my wort, but I get it done!
I will be back in Orange this Sunday and Monday with my family.
