Did it get stirred up? Something like bottle shock maybe?Just wondering wtf happened to my ipa. Great then 1 day dry hopping it tastes like an ipa hydrometer sample.
Maybe make something from the gators? I seem to remember the skins being worth a fair amount.A Mexican place in the nearby town has the best chilli rellenos I have ever tasted. I haven't been to Mexico. The owner doesn't even speak English, but his kids do, 6 sons and 2 daughters. We hardly ever go out to dinner, but most of the time, if we do, it's to the mexican place.
Anyway, the chickens are laying lots of eggs and the lake is teeming with fish and one alligator, still. They put the bait on the wrong side of the lake but no one will listen to me. Bait it where it lives, not on the other side of the lake. Whatever. When these goof balls fail to catch it, maybe I'll get my say on where to put the bait.
The wife was talking about adding soda to my little keezer just don't know where to add a 13th tap
I couldn't go to bed without testing my stir plate with an actual stir bar. It pulled 3 inches of vortex in a 1 gallon sample, on low. On high it was pulling air down to the stir bar and throwing bubbles all over the place. The only draw back, it's kinda loud. Not the stir plate, the stir bar spinning on the bottom of the container.
Goodnight all.

Well, my brewing schedule just opened up all the way.
The company I worked for is now going in a different direction as far as maintenance is concerned.
Unemployment tomorrow morning, then going to make a Westvleteren clone.
In the middle, or on the sides?Put little o-rings on the stir bar. No more clanking
Nice try.I'm sure you don't need that much striplate LG. You should probably send it to me.
I hope your kid is ok. Something simple like the flu can really do a number on a little kid.My legs are aching. Last night I did 110 flights of stairs (same amount as the World Trade Center had) in full gear. Followed by a busy night with a Rookie.
I just want to go home, have a beer and fall asleep. Unfortunately, the wife just texted and said our youngest threw up and has been crying on and off all night. Looks like a long day ahead.
Oh, and the taps are dry...
That's a good way to look at things. May you find the employment that fills both your heart and your wallet.Well, my brewing schedule just opened up all the way.

Well, at least the turtle is happy.Sorry about your job Beaks!
So, El Paso flooded today. Here are images of my backyard and a street in my neighborhood.

Interesting. Thanks LRB, the noise would be bothersome running it for hours.Both sides.

Yes we do....Looks like a PITA. At least you're not in Colorado. They got hammered.
Sorry about your job Beaks!

You seem happy about it. So I'm guessing it's a good thing?
No, liked the job for the most part the people. Just no real since in bemoaning a fact that I have no control over. So making lemonade or beer in this case. Sent out 6 resumes, I have a really broad skill set so it's just a matter of travel distance and pay.
Hmmm...my sour batch is starting to smell a bit Parmesan-cheesy. Very mild smell so far. Going on a weekend trip so I'll let it ride and check it out Monday. The Brett. batch is fermenting like crazy, nice active ferment. This brew is going to be an adventure for sure.
Cheesy can be a hot vomit precursor.
I put mine together just a few minutes ago. I decided to go ahead and both split the pods and cut them into 1/2" pieces. I figured the extra surface area wouldn't hurt. Cutting the pods into pieces also means that you don't have to worry about removing the beans as you use the extract. I guess it's bad if they stick up above the level of the alcohol.Man, my vanilla extract is already starting to smell very strong of vanilla after only 2 days. I can't wait to use this stuff!

I've got two bottles going. Both are 750ml bottles with 10 pods each. The vodka is Svenka. Not top drawer, but my preference given both the price and flavor. Grey Goose or Stolichnaya are both better, but I like it better then say Smirnoff. The rum is Sailor Jerry. I was going to use Kraken, but I'm just not that big of a fan of dark rum.
Thoughts on storage of these? I know with most spices you want to keep them out of the light. Is that an issue with vanilla extract do you think?
