Notes

Brewing Notes:

Trees overhang my yard on two sides. Neither are technically mine, as they are planted in the neighbors' yards, but they are encroaching on my rented property and I, therefore, feel entitled to the literal fruits of my air rights. The plums from these trees fall, burst, and soil my motorcycle, in roughly that order. As I'm sure you can guess, dried plums are a bitch to clean off of a motorcycle. I hope you forgive my feeling justified in the (alleged) plum theft and think of it as tacit reparations for the accumulated vehicular aggravations.

I will move the motorcycle and ascend the slightly taller than average stepladder that I keep outside the converted garage I call home, and frequently use to retrieve the boil kettle from my top shelf, unsuccessfully ignoring the unfortunate collection of dust in which it has been resting in since last brew day, and climb as I high as I am able, hopefully on a day in which my dystonia isn't active enough to shake me off of the aforementioned stepladder, and retrieve these small golden fruits, sized and shaped like roma tomatoes, to be waterboarded under a dry saison with a clean, slightly peppery finish, that nicely balances the tartness of the stone fruit.
