BrewBrain Sports Investing

Wow!  Now I know what those emailers were talking about.  It seems I haven’t blogged for a while and left some loose ends, well, loose.  I apologize, and I’ll try to keep on top of things a bit better.

The fact of the matter is, I haven’t been brewing lately.  Not because I haven’t wanted to, but because i don’t have anywhere to put it!  I’m chalk full in the keezer with two kegs full and waiting for a spot.  I’ve had friends over a couple times to help me plow through the inventory, but still the old beer flows.

This is not all bad, mind you.  I happen to thing three of the four beers on tap are excellent to extremely excellent.  The other, a stout, is too sweet because I mashed way too high.  Lesson learned, the next one will be much better - same recipe, different mash temp.  The flavor is still fine, just too sweet and not roasty enough.

I’ve also been drinking a bit less beer lately because I’ve been working on my horse racing project.  I’ve managed to automate as much of the handicapping process as possible and have been testing my approach at Golden Gate fields for the past month.  The result is a +37%  ROI over the month.  This is more than excellent.  I wish it was sustainable, but I have serious doubts.  I was hoping against hope for 10%.  37% makes no sense at all to me.  Who knows, maybe I’m on to something:)
