Fire burn and carboy bubble

(Hmm . . . that may need a little work . . . .)

The bubbling and the carboy are real enough, though.  I started a new batch of beer yesterday, and by today it’s got a huge, puffy krausen and is bubbling as quickly as someone blowing through a soda straw.

L says I must be making an impossibility with this batch, since it’s supposed to be a black-rye IPA:  not Pale at all, it’s as dark as a good stout but is supposed to have the weight of an IPA.  It’ll be interesting to see what it turns into, four or five weeks on.

L is in the living room, glued to the first episode of the new Upstairs, Downstairs, which has got her jonesing for the 40-disc set of the original series, now out on DVD.

To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of fnord.
