Woo! Another comment I can see! (faints). Your system of loose pages inside a folder reminds me very much of the Everbook system. How do you handle pages you're filing away? What do you store them in?
Also:
I wholeheartedly approve of this. Cheers!
It actually is heavily inspired off of the everbook system. However I don't do a lot of the bullet journallying parts. I keep calanders more than to do lists.
As for handling the pages I put them in folders besed on what they are under. One of these days I want to bind my journals into a books.
Drinking journal is fun. Everytime I have a new entry I put a drop of what I'm drinking on the page. The thick cotton pages hold water well and drive fast. Theres a lot of complexities to the flavors when homebrewing so it's helpful to document whatever I can.
That's awesome. I don't homebrew (yet???) but I do enjoy real ale, and Scotch, and my partner is getting me into gin too. The flavour profiles vary so much from one to another (I've learned that pale ales made with Citra hops are my absolute favourites; if I see Citra on a beer label I know for sure that I will like it. They remind me of grapefruit). When it comes to Scotch, I like the Speyside malts best, they're rich, sweet and fruity. I had (a very expensive) one that tasted literally like Christmas pudding. Gin.... I don't really know enough about yet but I'm starting to find flavour profiles that I like and dislike. I like the spicier ones and dislike the more floral ones, I think. I have a gin in my pantry right now that's infused with Earl Grey tea, and it's divine.
And... now I need to find Lemmy subs about booze, lol.
Ive always loved ales and scotches as well. I recently just finished off a Speyside (Glenfiddich) the otherday with some friends. however we have been stuck on Islay region scotches for a while. I had a friend get me into gin recently as well. Especially traditional gin martinis. A recommend would be Aviation gin from Portland. Ryan Reynolds owns it so that is a plus or a minus depending on who you talk to but it actually is very smooth for a gin.
You are right though we really could use a good classy drinking channel.
Don't think I'll be able to get a gin from Portland here, I'm in the UK. And with Ryan Reynolds' name on it, an import would probably cost like £1000 or more. Islay scotch... I'm not a fan.
