John Prine's Grandma and Mo Would Be Proud

In an attempt to be as self sufficient as possible, I purchased a circa 1956 SINGER sewing machine. The boys and I set out yesterday morning for a bit of thrifting and came across it at a little place called Finders Keepers in East Palatka. Before we made it over the bridge I had already called my sister to enlist her help in getting it going. By nightfall she was threaded up and purring like a.... well a sewing machine. A little oil, a little new thread, and a little overcoming the fear of my Grandmother Mo's tale of a needle going through her finger, and I was in sewing business. How does this relate to brewing? Well, my first attempt at becoming a seamster resulted in the Bergen Beer Bib.




Here it is and I know, it looks like a beer ghost. This is a dry hopped pale ale (all-grain) that I don't think is ever going to stop fermenting. It spent one week in the primary and is going on three weeks in the secondary. I am ready to try it!
