Flicka på besøg

Vi har gået besøg af denne dejlige hund i nogle dage. Hun har været rigtigt sød og opført sig pænt. Hun har fået Thaimad her til aften og det har taget hårdt på hende :-)

Grill hos K

Det er altid hyggeligt og dejligt at besøge K og Rie :-D

Havet i øresund

På Fur!

Igen i år er vi på Fur i pinsen. Igen går vi turen rundt om knuden og ender på Fur bryghus til en god frokost og en dejlig øl:-) Glædelig pinse!

Venter på toget

Efter en kanon aften med Headshooters er det alligevel lidt hyggeligt at falde til ro på en station mens man venter på toget...

Raket test og test af video kamera

Det var en stor dag idag...endelig lykkedes det mig at komme med til en af de store raket tests fra Copenhagen Suborbitalts (www.copenhagensuborbitals.com)

Historien bag dem er af de vil sende en person i rummet...ja, jeg ved det godt..kan man nu det.
Inden man opgiver tanken skal man tænke på at rummet starter ved 100kms højde og satelitter render rundt ved ca. 350 kms højde, så chancen for sammenstød skulle være minimal.
Så i princippet er det ikke andet end en balistisk bane, så man skal "bare" sætte en kraftig nok raket i bunden af en "pod" og så er den hjemme.
Hvad så med re-entry? Man ser jo på film og alt muligt andet at ting brænder op på vej ind igennem atmosfæren. Igen skal man tænke sig om. I de tilfælde kommer de med ca. 25-30.000 Km/t og denne "pod" kommer med 200-300 Km/t.

Selve dagen oprendt og der var samlet mange mennesker ude på pladsen. Sikkerhedsfolk sikrede at folk ikke kom for tæt på og der var i det hele taget en god og spændt stemning.

Under forberedelserne og forsinkelsen (ca 1,5 time) kom der løbende informationer til publikum der gjorde ventetiden meget overkommelig og underholdende.



Denne dag brugte jeg for første gang et videokamera og mit spejrefleks. Det gav visse planmæssige udfordringer da jeg gerne ville filme med panorering samtidig med at jeg tog billeder, men det gav sig selv til sidst.

Selve testen gik godt - dvs den brændte og lyden var også en god oplevelse...men sikken et brag!

Efter testen kunne man gå op til raketten og kigge nærmere


Alt i alt en rigtig god dag...ser meget frem til flere tests.

New baby celebration

A Very dear friend of had his baby boy baptized. A great deal of sun joined us for a great day:-D

PADI Advanced Open Water completed

Finally, after a years delay due to weather and injure to my shoulder, am I able to add the AOW certificate to my diving skills.

Cant wait for some great dives :D

Fur Brewery

Everytime we go to Fur we visit the Fur brewery. Before I started brewing my own beer I thought these beers were really good, but I must admit that they have lost their glamour.
I tried their Easter brew and was disappointed - It just didn't offer anything...

Trip to Fur

Every spring we go to Fur. Its a small island in Denmark that has some great nature.

New beers in progress & Submarine in the water

Its been a long time since my post, but I have been very busy brewing beers and building submarines...

Since last I have brewed "Easter Brew" and "Lager" which are both on bottle. In progress I have a "BunnyBeer" (Pilsner) more and an "Elderflower Ale".

This past weekend I joined in launching the worlds largest privately build submarine.

Beer tasting roundup

Until now I have brewed Christmas Beer, Ale, IPA & Steam Beer.
Christmas Beer: It tastes rather well, but not like Christmas.
Ale: Tastes very good! A success!
IPA: First taste was a bit disappointing, but second taste was much better. A success!
Steam Beer: First taste was promising...

Pilsner (Steam beer) on track

Iv wanted to brew a beer for my wife ever since I started, so im gonna have a try with a golden "Pilsner" beer. But im doing it a bit different. Normally you use a yeast that works at 5-10 C, but I cant duplicate that temperature, so im going to use a yeast for 20 C. Its not "correct" to do it this way, but its worth a try.

Recipes can be found at http://www.haandbryg.dk/cgi-bin/beercalc.cgi - search for "Becks" in the "name" field.

New beer on bottle!

It was so much fun brewing the Christmas beer, that I brewed a new one with my neighbor.
We went for an Ale and it was really funny.

Tasting only 10 days after bottling demonstrated a fresh but dark beer - easy to enjoy!

The beers just keeps on coming

My wife gave me a present for our wedding anniversary....a brewing course and I attended it today. It was GREAT fun and a great learning experience into the bio and chemical things at work when you brew beer.

Getting the look for the beer right

Ok, so iv brewed the beer, but it needs to have a finished look.

How do I do that? With the correct label!

Christmas beer brew started!

OK...after 2 hours of hard work, the brew is all done and is sitting in the tank to cool down from boiling for 1 hour.

If its a success I will post the details of how I did it.

I expect to bottle in 2 weeks.

Brewing beer

I have for a while thought about brewing beer for myself.
The regular beers you buy in the stores doesn't really excite me anymore. They are just not interesting any more, so if want something really good you have to pay about 5,5 $ (30 DKKR) pr bottle and thats a bit steep.

A guy I know is really good at it and after trying out a few of hes beers I have decided to give it a go. Its not that expensive to get the equipment and it's rather easy to brew a good beer.



I bought my equipment here: http://brygladen.dk/ and will start my Christmas beer as soon as I get the stuff.

My wife also picked up on my interest and got me a gift certificate for a beerbrewing course for our 2 year anniversary - looking forward to that!

Ill keep you posted on how it goes!
