Homebrew Beer - Chemical Free Yeast Starter



I have been starting yeast this way for years, I don't like to use any kind of chemical when culturing yeast. I do use alcohol to sterilize my hands and the outside of the yeast container but other than that it is just heat. I am getting really good results every time. Working with burning hot liquid is a little tricky but hey, if you are a true homebrewer you must be used to that

Waikiki Sunset

I went down last night to catch the sunset, I watched it at the Kapahulu Groin next to the volleyball girls. There were lots of people checking it out and it was quite nice. My camera placement is bad and I moved it around a couple times so it didn't really work too well. It is still quite nice and I am learning. Enjoy!

Disney Aulani at Ko'olina

Aloha, e komo mai, welcome to my blog "HKA96815". I am new to blogging but ready to try it out. I am happy to share information about my home with you, I hope you can come visit the islands and enjoy some paradise. I stayed at the Disney Aulani Hotel last week and had a nice time there. Unfortunately the hotel is under some construction in the pool area so it is a bit noisy this week. I think they must be working to make an even more enjoyable pool area. I had a great time in the lazy river and the beach was quite enjoyable. The water is not real clear so snorkeling was not good but the hotel offers a snorkeling experience in a reef pool. I stayed in a villa and the amenities are great with a full kitchen and a large Jacuzzi tub. There is a mall going up directly across the street where you can shop at the mini mart now (ABC) and more stores are coming. There is also a nice little taco shop with great tacos. This mall area is withing walking distance from Aulani. You could stock your kitchen pretty well by walking across the street. The have some good Sierra Nevada & Rogue beers over there too. I think Disney Aulani is a great family resort, everyone was very friendly.
