Coming Soon: A New Book

Posted by on
If you enjoyed the poem I wrote last September, Did Jesus Have a Puppy ?, you will delight in the book version that has been beautifully illustrated by the daughter of a close friend.  The book will be released soon but I wanted to share what we have thus far. The illustrations are complete and the cover is nearly finished. I'm still working on finishing up the interior and adding a few surprises just for fun. If you'd like to know when the book is live and available for purchase, email me and I'll let you know the day before. Thanks as always for reading and a huge thank you to Karah B. (14 yrs old) for creating such wonderful, warm, spiritually uplifting illustrations to accompany the words. Did you enjoy this post? Never miss a blog post from James M.

Autumn Red Ale Creation

Posted by on
A new creation for the fall. Think of the crisp air with a hint of wood smoke as brightly colored leaves float gently to the ground. Imagine yourself sitting by an open fire wrapped in a blanket with a nice pint of Autmn Red Ale. I would also enjoy a nicely packed pipe and a crowd of good friends. Enjoy the creation of the Autumn Red Ale....

All the wonderful ingredients: grains, light malt extract, hops, and yeast. Oh yeah, and water (not pictured)
Like a heavenly tea the grains are steeped in hot water for about an hour with the next two pictues being the result.





Add the hops!!!!




These grains won't go to waste. We'll use them in bread, mufins, pizza dough, etc..

After the final dose of hops and after cooking for an hour it's time for an ice bath to cool the wort to a reasonable temperature before we add that wonderful creation called yeast.
Stay tuned for more on this Autumn treat.
