Holiday Homebrew

Today my husband has a work holiday (Good Friday) so he is at home making beer - an Irish lager.  He has been a homebrewer longer than I have known him.  He has done the 5-7 gallon single batch beers but he is in the middle of making a new brewing contraption that will allow larger batches and has its own heating element (and not take over the kitchen every time).  Anyway, our cat Grady is a BIG fan of malt extract and the wort (he has a sweet tooth).   Today he a got quite a treat when an empty malt bag made it to the floor (my husband took this picture before retrieving the bag to throw it away).
 Grady will hang out in the kitchen and supervise the process and lick any drops that make it on the cabinets or floor. 
 Right now he is guarding the "beer" (wort) while it cools down so the yeast can be added (and napping as he is probably on a sugar crash).
