The B Minus Show is looking for an intern! 

http://traffic.libsyn.com/bminusshow/Hiring_a_non_paid_intern_LISTEN.mp3

I am looking for an intern that is wanting hands on experience helping my website / podcast / blog grow.

There is no pay for this internship. I can be used as a reference and will help you build or practice your skills.

The truth is, I can do most of this stuff on my own, but I would like to have a second set of eyes and assistance to get me to the next level or more.

The hours will be flexible. I’m looking for intern assistance in editing, SEO stuff, digital organic marketing, some guest podcast appearances, video edits and recording, and etc.

You must be professional, yet laid back.

I would like to meet in person 1-2 times a month (preferably at my studio, but anywhere if needed) and communicate 1-2 times a week via mobile/email to touch base and check progress.

I anticipate this to take up around 4-8 hours a week via telecommuting (work at home, on the go) and maybe a couple hours in person every two weeks.

Ideally, I would like you as an intern to help for 3 months, but that can be negotiated!

I will take this post down when I find an intern. Thank you for your time.

Please email me. Serious inquiries only.

Updates about stuff. No tags, no SEO, now additional stuff except a couple ads. Hit it!

    Hazy / Murky  / Juicy / New England IPA

Hazy/murky/juicy and New England IPA ‘s are all the hype nowadays and for a good reason – they are very good. The “names” tend to be interchangeable and are the same thing from what I gathered.

These beers tend to have low flocculating yeasts, proteins and/or sediment; giving the beer a cloudy (hazy) appearance. They typically tend to resemble a juice by smell and sight and they taste very tropical with mild bitterness and almost a milky thick texture.

They usually range in the 5-8% range.

Although just recently they were harder to find, you can now find these types of beers a lot quicker. With Samuel Adams and Sierra Nevada releasing their hazy IPA’s, you should be able to access this style with minimal searching.

I highly recommend the Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing if you are into these types of beers. Even non IPA people will enjoy this beer.

As time goes on, the beers are getting more fanciful, for example, branching out. Take a milkshake pineapple double IPA, or even a tropical cloudy pale ale to brighten up your taste buds.

So grab yourself this style of beer. Drink away. Just remember there is actually a decent of amount of alcohol in these…

I have made this beer two times now and I seem to be getting better at it. Below is some information I have gathered from research and practice. Enjoy.

BREWING CONSIDERATIONS:

Some brewing techniques I have learned with this style of beer are as follows (I have brewed two to date):   use a low flocculation yeast such as Vermont Ale yeast or London Ale III yeast.

I gotta be honest, I haven’t tried these yeasts yet so my beers lean towards the less hazy style, but they are still hazy and juicy. I have only used my Safale US 05 two times so far, with intentions to try out the former two yeasts very soon.

enable_page_level_ads: true

});

*Update: I did try the London Ale III recently with large success. It makes a world of a difference.

Late hop additions are very important to gather more aroma characteristics instead of bittering compounds. So usually I will pitch hops with 30-40 minutes left in the boil, then usually either with 10, 5 and/or 0 minutes left in the boil.

Some people add flour but I haven’t found the need to do so. I have heard from other brewers that adding flour isn’t the true way or preferred method of making hazy IPA’s.

Always dry hop to enhance the juicy aroma.  With you hop choices, you may consider using more tropical varieties of hops. Many of these stem from New Zealand, but there are plenty of options.

Knowing your hops can make a huge difference, for example  if you want a spicy peppery flavor with your juiciness or if you want straight tropical, your hop variety will have to adjust accordingly.

 

Similar to your grain bill; focus mostly on two row malts as your main grain. Oats and wheat grains are also utilized, at least by me to help with the haze.

Do not filter your beer and think twice before cold crashing. That will take out the haziness.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

     I think this beer style will rope in a whole new slew of craft beer geeks and enthusiasts. How long will this hype last? Who knows. I have concerns about these beers getting a little out of hand with artwork and marketing. It almost seems that this type of beer is getting more experimental and almost brings the craft beer world into a fad or gimmick, but I stated almost.

Now if bigger corporate America duplicates these styles (or any other popular craft beer styles) it wo...

Our conversation continues and concludes. Thanks for listening.

Here is the status and report of the B Minus Show as of 2-11-18:

http://traffic.libsyn.com/bminusshow/2-10-18_b_minus_report.mp3

Beer: 4 Sierra Nevada Torpedos and 1 B- Golden Strong ale drinken

-made a hazy IPA 6 gallon. Missed gravity by almost a point. Projected ABV 6.8%, should have been 7.5%. I will blame not just myself but my grain mill. Solution: new grain mill or mill at a brew shop.

Golf: Chip game still strong; stiff elbow and wrist on rough or clean ground. WIP (work in progress) for actual game play results.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Self Help: Reinforcing 10 minute rule; or just practice and do what you love atleast 10 minutes a day. I have re invigorated myself with this practice and it has tremendous gains. Playing bass, studying beer, etc.

Music: We are the Mean Muggers, but need to actually do a new logo, post about it, change social media things…we are still probably Monomyth Inception but need to do something to change the name of our band.

-practiced 3 new songs, they should be ready soon…like really soon (a couple months?).

B – Minus Show: Plenty of new content pending to be posted, a few new guests lined up. Still chuggin along.  Posting another rodeo post soon.

So I got another guest on the show, my future sister in law; Micah! This is a two part podcast where I basically interview her on her unique lifestyle.

http://traffic.libsyn.com/bminusshow/micah_1.mp3

All three of her children are almost grown, but they have been avid rodeo performers for most of their lives. Micah’s husband was a professional rider and roper, and he passed his skills down to the kiddos.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Micah has always LOVED the rodeo, and she is like the glue that holds the whole complex living organism of the family’s rodeo life together.

Enjoy our conversation. I think I am getting better at this podcast stuff, hit me up if you want to get on the show. I also do phone interviews.

How to kill it in the office (breaks/lunches, dating at work) part 5 of 5

 

#1 What to do on breaks and lunches

 

Breaks and lunches are often a overlooked part of a work day. If you are driven, you can excel your personal and work life (life in general) by doing productive things during these stretches of time.

You essentially get two 15-minute breaks and a 30 minute to an hour a lunch every day.

This equates to at least an hour or an hour an a half every day that you can do something meaningful with your day.

Here are some examples:

What I do (most of the time) is some form of exercise during one of these breaks. I can walk at least a mile a day. If you have a gym at work, all the better for you!

You can hit a few sets, get your heart rate up, hit a nice jump rope session. It’s all up to you, but you can increase your fitness for sure one way or another.

You can also use this time to make a short errand call or catch up with a friend on your cell phone.

Take a power nap if you are feeling drowsy. You may be able to stay up an extra hour or get up an hour early if you know you can power nap at lunch.

You can meet up with a co worker or anybody at lunch time.

In general, you want to use your  breaks and lunches to do something productive and meaningful to your life.

Do the math and you could essentially save yourself a few hours a week by using them effectively! This can free up more time before or after work to pursue your passions or interests, or even just more time to do anything you want.

#2 Dating at work 

Dating at work can be a hairy thing to get yourself involved with. Be careful if things fall out, especially. The romance can be good, but things may not work out. If they do, what happens?

I know, it is difficult to deny that hunk or babe sitting in close proximity to you. Maybe you are working 12 hours a day and Cupid has hit the arrow on the mark for both of you.

So you both start talking, work your way up to a lunch together, work your way up to dinner.

Then you have a drink, which leads to a relationship. All is well, until you notice other men talking to your lady. It stirs up jealousy. All of a sudden, you are broken up and that guy is still paying visits to your ex, and this guy happens to be one of your buddies.

The above example is just one of many different situations that can happen in the work place. This can lead to bad behavior from someone who feels burned.

It happens quite too often. The bottom line is it affects your attitude at work.

Therefore, I personally, have always made it a point to leave romance out of the work environment (especially the office).

Now sometimes it works out to your advantage. There are plenty of examples of things “working out” with romance in the office. However, I have witnessed many more awkward and bad situations in the office that concluded me to always keep work and dating separate.

To be more positive, I think it is healthy and good to develop a “life” outside of work. You can do this by keeping yourself busy with “to-do’s,” setting up dates with your online dating membership, joining social leagues or just something to be around the opposite sex.

Many of us have kids or significant others, so this article may not apply. But for those who are single, heed caution with dating your coworkers.

Some other things to consider are not only your own emotions, but the office gossip and drama with others. Things get awkward after an office breakup. Some people may even “take sides” with their friend and make things more weird (especially if things ended on a bad note).

You must also consider harassment issues. These allegations can carry over long term and short term; have you been following the news? Things are kind of scary,

This is just an update on what is going on with me aka The B Minus Show. Thank you for your support!
