So, I spent my morning doing math and dealing with numbers and letters in a way that made my eyes go a little crazy and made me feel like I was back in Pre-Calculus wondering when the pain would be over.
This time though, it's going to end with me having some beer. I hope.
It's maple season here, and that means K & I do our yearly figurin' of what the sugar content of the maple sap we will brew with should be. Now, we could just use sap, which would give no maple flavor unless we invite a sommelier over for dinner but would raise the OG, or we could use just a bit of maple syrup which would negligibly raise the OG, but it would give the bierre a maple flavor.
Choices choices.
Now you see the dilemma. Where is the line? How far from one edge will be right without being too far? As you can see, this idea could apply to all sorts of areas, not just my drinking habit.
My mother and I had a talk today. She wants me to trust her to use her own judgement with the little guy. But, if I give her free reign, who knows what sort of crazy she'll do (probably none, I turned out fairly normal). But, if I don't give her more autonomy, she'll not want to babysit. For free. Whenever I ask.
Where's the line?
Well, for now, it's at 10% sap. Bring on the beer.
