It's called Nottingham. Ferment it at 90° F and hold on tight. Blowoff tube recommended.

So you're saying that you use anal plugs?

clearing up the backlog of crap on our DVR, we finally got around to watching the season premiere of Bones (aired 10/1) last night
:smack:
For me, it's "however sometimes it's left in to add cloudiness."
Yeast is left in to add flavor, not cloudiness. The cloudiness just happens to be a result of leaving the yeast in, but is not the desired effect in and of itself... or so I would argue.
Maybe that's nit-picky though.
I think there must be a rule for writers of mass-market TV shows: they are encouraged to make references to cultural phenomena as long as they're at least three years old and the reference is watered down so as to be a caricature of the actual cultural phenomenon referenced. See: every police procedural's inevitable MMORPG (online video game) and hacktivism/internet stalking episodes. Their "cutting-edge" imaginary video games have graphics that would have embarrassed a game designer a decade ago and every investigator infiltrating a shady web forum spends time instant messaging and emailing the forum members, who he then meets living half a mile away from him.
This is just the craft beer/homebrewing version of that. "I'm gonna brew him up an IPA for dinner" is the homebrewing equivalent of "he's been stalking the other players whose characters are more gooder than his by infecting their computer with an IP address wrapped in a keylogger wrapped in a trojan wrapped in a virus that he attaches to a song that they downloaded from Napster. It's really high-technique, frontline cyber-stalking. Social Media. Computers. Floppy Drives. Ultrabook."
Incidentally, spoiler alert, it's always the co-founder of the social networking platform that made the victim rich. You know, the guy who was bullied out before the IPO that turned it into a bloated corporate nightmare instead of the hip underground project the jilted murderer had designed it to be. He's not doing it because of the money, but to preserve the ideal he was chasing when he created the platform in the first place.
Tangent aside, those Bones writers are probably avid homebrewers themselves. They came up with this great episode-long gag about fast-acting sacc. c. and it got cut down and down and down by some QC guy who insists that the viewers wouldn't understand until it was boiled down to a five-liner with the hip word "IPA" in it.
And now rant aside, the best I can do for a topic-relevant post at the moment would be collecting the champagne bottles from last night's Thanksgiving party at our kindergarten for beer or mead (it was bubbly grape and apple juice, in case you're worried about the state of Chinese kindergarten education). My co-worker made sure to give me the (champagne) corks with the bottles, saying, "I'm not really sure how you're supposed to get them back in the bottles, though."
Well actually,
Coopers here had a "roll your Coopers" ad campaign for ales bought in bottles at the bar.
Many people roll their Coopers for the cloudiness.

Seriously, though, what's with this weird quoting everything you've found from years ago thing you're doing?

Hes just catching up on the thread. Its easy to get carried away. I must say though it is kinda interesting seeing the likes on old posts because it reminds me of funny things I said in this thread.
Give it a few more hundred pages and he'll be able to respond to this

I'll take a quick stab at this.
An American Pale Ale is a light(ish) pale colored beer with a notable hop character with American style hops.
Most beers described as an India Pale Ale are hopped to an extreme degree and have a hop profile that smacks you in the face.
An Australian Pale Ale describes any number of cheap swills that are made in Australia. :cross:
So if an ipa isn't pale shouldn't it be called something else. It may not be considered a funny thing I heard about beer, but I think it should be sometimes especially when it's a black India pale ale.
Well actually, Australian pale ales are under the BJC-thingy as Australian Sparkling ales. There are only 2 commercial examples left, Coopers Pale Ale and Coopers Sparkling Ale. Both using Pride of Ringwood as bittering hops with no aroma addition. The Coopers yeast produces pear esters at ale fermentation temperatures so in the Hot Aussie summer a cold Coopers pale or sparkling hits the spot. And it is metric **** ton better than VB, West End or other adjunct swill available at the same price point.
BTW you can buy a Coppers in a bottle and "roll your Coopers" before you pour to help achieve a cloudy ale appearance and not suffer at the thunder box after a session.
Originally, 'pale' meant pale compared with a stout. So a pale ale can actually be "dark" in a BMC drinkers vocabulary.
my in-laws think anything darker than a BL (like a regular Bud) is a dark beer. I don't trust BMC drinkers judgement on beer.
Drinking too many beers may cause blindness.
Jeebus, do I have to do everything around here?
It's "pop" around here in Minnesota, and in South Dakota where my parents live. My first job out of college was in downstate Illinois, not far from St. Louis. Everyone said "soda." But 100 miles north, it was "pop." Once I ordered a hot fudge sundae, pronouncing sundae like "Sunday." I was corrected by the waitress. They say SUN-duh. "Missouri" is muh-ZER-uh. Basically, any word that ends with a vowel gets the schwa sound.
In parts of Wisconsin, the drinking fountain is the "bubbler."

Lighten up, Francis. The guy's been a member here less than a month. He found a (really, really, REALLY) long post that interests him, and has been working his way through it.Seriously, though, what's with this weird quoting everything you've found from years ago thing you're doing?
But, WHY is that?Sure, reviving a long-dead thread with a new reply is typically bad etiquette...
So what if a post from 3 years ago gets quoted?
Is that showing that the South is stupid?
When we were flying back to Australia after 6 years in California my dad asked the hostess (Aussie airline and hostess) for a Soda....... He got a Soda Water.
Not beer related but funny in retrospect.
Let's get this thing back on track.
How about funny quotes on a beer bottle?
A quote from Vanilla Ice.
No, the south is the smartest, and most typical of the bunch. Ever heard of "fedexing" something? That's using the most popular brand as the generic name for the entire industry. How bout xeroxing something. Same thing again. Just google it; there's another one. If you had been in the south for 6 years, he would've asked for a Coke, and gotten something similar to what he intended.
Completely tongue in cheek.
But it seems an odd that if you want a fizzy drink and there is a grape shasta you've got your eye on, you ask for a cola brand.
