I'm too relaxed and certainly don't worry enough about my homebrew to be a team captain

Just take a look at this pic from my post last night



I am racking into a dry hop bucket that I just emptied and didn't clean. The beer that I am racking was given to me by Zap to ferment. I put it in my garage and let it sit out there, open with no top, for two days while I waited on the starter to get going. I let it ferment open in the garage for about a week. Then covered it and it stayed out there the rest of the winter. I didn't take any gravity readings at all, at any point. Zap did tell me what his readings were but we were in the parking lot of a bagel shop and my son was jabbering on about how odd looking Zap was, so I didn't really catch anything he was saying. Anyway, the brew smells really good and I'll let it dry hop for 3 or 4 weeks before getting the energy to bottle again
