Service Station: March 2011
http://byersdesign.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 29, 2011. The Charleston Hops Project (update). So far we're looking at 90% success for the rhizomes. 2 Cascade, 3 Willamette, 4 Nugget. It appears that one cascade doesn't want to take part in the experiment. The fastest starter is a Cascade and the second fastest is a Willamette. I think the weather these last few days has them thinking that they're back home in the Willamette Valley (which looks like zone 8a on the usda map. But OSU says is zone 5. Posted by L.Z.J. Empty primary ferment...

Service Station: Homebrewing (1 of ?)
http://byersdesign.blogspot.com/2011/03/homebrewing-extract.html
Monday, March 14, 2011. I'm going to do a few articles about this. Where to start, where to start? To make beer you dissolve the sugar in the malt into water, boil it with hops, cool it down and then add yeast. That's beer. Pretty simple. These are the recipes:. Wagoner Terrace's Finest: L10 IPA. Wagoner Terrace's Finest: Pale Ale. Here are some pictures:. Crushed malted grains going into hot water to steep (mashing). As a rule you must drink beer when making beer. Homebrewed beer is preferred. Michael k...

Service Station: Limestone Jesus is Coming Soon
http://byersdesign.blogspot.com/2009/09/limestone-jesus-is-coming-soon.html
Thursday, September 3, 2009. Limestone Jesus is Coming Soon. An integral part of our design for the Meditation and Healing Garden at Bon Secours St. Francis Xavier Hospital is the statue of Christ. Located in a sacred space in the garden, the statue is a life-sized depiction of a contemplative adult Christ with both arms outstretched. The statue is being cut from a solid 3’x3’x7’ (5 ton) block of Indiana Limestone by master stone cutter Timothy Doyle in his studio in New Haven, Indiana.

Service Station: October 2009
http://byersdesign.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 26, 2009. Well, here's something that I just learned:. It's not hard to make cheese. We're lucky to be blessed with a terrific array of local farms providing all kinds of produce, and one of them is Jeremiah Farm. The internet provided the know-how (har har). The rest is all fresh, rich, smooth cheese. This is the story of Feta Cheese:. You need a goat. And a Grade A Dairy facility. But after all of that you just add a few ingredients (3 total). After a few hours you have curds. Curds.

Tuesday, September 14, 2010. This is not an Abstract Painting. Today was cleaning day in the studio, and we're all very excited about the Christopher Murphy show tomorrow.

Tuesday, November 3, 2009. Sustainable Site: Harvesting and Milling Lumber. WARNING: this one's going to be long and picture-heavy). SO, we are fortunate enough to be involved in a spectacular project in the Charleston area in which we are tasked with designing a small single-family residence on a large, heavily wooded site and instructed to preserve the pristine quality of the site, design a house which works within the site and be as green as possible throughout the process. That's the backstory. Locat...

Service Station: The Class of 2011 (garden)
http://byersdesign.blogspot.com/2011/03/class-of-2011-garden.html
Sunday, March 20, 2011. The Class of 2011 (garden). They're about a month old now and doing very well. We're hoping to put them in the ground in mid-April to avoid the sneaky late frost. In the ground now are carrots, snow peas and mesclun lettuces. It looks like I'm going to have some plants to share (I can't stand thinning the little guys so I keep transplanting the extra shoots, I think we'll have 216 in the graduating class and we just can't hire them all) so leave me a comment and I'll share.

Service Station: Peas and Beans
http://byersdesign.blogspot.com/2009/05/peas-and-beans_08.html
Friday, May 8, 2009. I've never really paid an attention to the clinging mechanism of beans and peas before this year. Now I'm fascinated by it. It tells a story about the difference between a pea and a bean. It breaks down like this:. A pea would get beat up by a bean for getting all the questions right on Jeopardy. A bean would make fun of a pea for not ever being able to make up its mind on what to order at a restaurant. Here's what I mean:. But they're very different. Are you a pea or a bean?
