i can open it up and add more yeast. but the problem is, i dont have anymore beer yeast and i really dont wanna make a 3 hour trip to pick up a $.99 packet of yeast. if it hasnt started fermenting by this evening, im gonna do an emergency operation and add bread yeast. but it cant be the rapid rise kind... and i dunno jack about bread yeasts or brands or which ones what....

The kind of yeast I use for baking is Fleischmann's Active Dry yeast. They do make a "Rapid Rise" version but it's clearly labeled and I NEVER use it. Too fussy. And for Gods' sake, man! If you have to drive 3 hours to get beer yeast, buy $20 worth at a time! And restock when you start to get low so you won't be in this situation again!

i always make sure i get extra yeast when im buying the stuff. but RD was getting it and i was at home and i forgot to mention it to her... but yes, next time i go we're gonna buy plenty of extras!! RD just called back and she knows about bread yeast stuff so shes gonna pick up a packet for me on her way home from work. i just hope it works about like beer yeast....

Sounds like you are a man with a plan.
For me, tomorrow will consist of getting up and sending Skywise to work. He'll be getting home at 3:15 am -- if there is no OT -- and leaving here again at 1:30 pm.
After that, if I'm reasonably coherent, I'll continue working on Chapter 2. My.. ahem... "male lead" and I posted some ... interesting.... stuff that needs to be edited and fleshed out. His dialog in one section is a bit stilted, he was trying for "formal" and I need to tidy that up too without losing the flavor of his words, so I'm going to be taking my time with it.

Subject: Re: Spit it out!! Fri Dec 04, 2009 12:15 am

LOL Rudas. You have no resistance where beer is concerned, do you?

Yeah, I have my work cut out for me especially since I can't really grab the knucklehead by the shirt front and drag him off into a corner for a writers' consultation!
Someday. Soon. I hope.. but not right now... Sad

So I have heard! No direct experience though.

Subject: Re: Spit it out!! Fri Dec 04, 2009 1:11 am

omm....

i spose since ive gotta get up early to take RD to work i should prolly attempt to sleep.
looking forward to brewing some more!
and stuff...

hif...

still tipsy but lost the tiredness. lol

Subject: Re: Spit it out!! Fri Dec 04, 2009 1:13 am

Getting or trying to get some sleep is probably a good idea. You have a lot planned for tomorrow and you need to be sharp when you get home with all your beer brewing goodies 'cause you KNOW you aren't going to want to take a nap before you start cookin'!
