The temperature hit 32&deg F today. There was a mixture of snow, ice and rain for most of the day. This means slippery sidewalks and a colder household.

One downside to not turning on the heat, is that its taking longer for our beer to ferment. In an attempt to further reduce the amount of packaging that enters our house in the form of beer, we are making out own beer and using the bottles we drunk from before to eventually bottle the fermented beer. But since the house is cold, the yeast isn’t working as fast as they normally would.

Spending all day in bed is an option that looks very inviting these days.
