Notes - Sat, May 3, 2014

Early in the morning, I shopped at "The Andersons":http://www.andersonsstore.com/ on Talmadge.

After shopping, I assembled a pizza dough. My pizza threads:

* [[Making Pizza]]
* [[Homemade Neapolitan-style pizza]]

I incorporated spelt flour into the dough recipe by milling spelt berries in our Vitamix. I bought the spelt berries at the "Phoenix Earth Food Co-op,":http://phoenixearthfoodco-op.com/ which is one of my favorite local stores. The addition of the spelt flour adds great flavor to the crust. 

From my Field Notes notebook:

bq. 11:50 a.m. Nice weather today. Mostly Cloudy to cloudy, breezy, temps 55 to 60 degrees. Perfect for me. May has always been my favorite weather month for running, cycling, fishing, birdwatching, and storm watching.

DD and I spent the morning house cleaning and readying our beer brewing equipment, including another cleaning of empty bottles.

Today we "bottled":http://jothut.com/cgi-bin/junco.pl/blogpost/38028/13May2014/Bottling-our-Imperial-Stout our "first home brew beer,":http://jothut.com/cgi-bin/junco.pl/blogpost/34523/31Mar2014/Beer-Recipe-Number-One-March-2014 which we brewed on Sun, Mar 30. So we bottled one day before a five-week fermentation. We could have bottled after four weeks. 

I planned to bake pizza during our afternoon bottling process. Local home brewer guru JP came to our house around 12:30 - 1:00 p.m.
