Workout :: Good one n a run

Well headed to york street gym for a workout and a bit of a run after on the treadmill. Well did a great workout with all supersets again. Started with wide grip chins as usual, did overhead presses, skipping, toe catches, cross cables, kettle ball, elbow to knee. Also did cable curls, reverse cable curls, cable pressdown with rope. Had lots of skipping in there, planks on the ball and hanging leg raises with great form. After a very hard working and being very winded I headed over to the treadmill for a 20 minute run doing 2 miles. It was just under 20 minutes and the recovery is coming along very well.

Brewing :: 101

Well today I went to learn how to brew beer with the goal of brewing at home like a few people I’ve run into. I’ve had home brew in the past and have to admit is tastes good, better yet amazing if you use a keg instead of bottles. So I’m brewing up beer and will be using a Corny Keg system on tap when I’m finished. The brew will be ready in 3 weeks. So I headed up to Brew Time on Upper James in Hamilton to learn the art of Beer Making. I met up with who would become my Brew Master Matty (hope that is how you spell it) and began the process. I took some pics so here they are. The one thing you don’t see is the making of the liquid yeast. Matty made it the day before so it would be ready today. I made the choice to make it with Barley and bitter and aroma hops with liquid yeast instead of Malt extract and dry east for the obvious reason that I plan to drink this beer. Anyhow I’m very excited and when I have the finished product and the draught system in place I think I will be having a little party! I did do some taste testing on some of the brews that are almost ready and it’s pretty incredible. I think I might have to run up in about two weeks to give it a taste test of my own although I’m sure Matty will keep a good eye on it for me.
