Drinking some Scotty Karate from a trade, awesome!
Glad you're enjoying it! I hope it lived up to the expectations I put on it for you. Really a solid beer.

BP is at 1.022 from 1.092 in 9 days. Can't complain about that. I'll see how it changes with lagering, but I'm pretty happy with recipe for the first attempt. Might tweak the specialty malts a little next time, but I can see keeping this one around most of the time. Now I just need to figure out where I can lager a third batch.
Is it as dark as it looks? From what I've had from Aviator, I wouldn't be shocked if it was infected or otherwise flawed.
It sounds like an extract flavor to me, not everyone is sensitive to it but I know I am. I would be happy to sample if you want.
Wtf is this?
I need to dig the one you sent me out of the stash and try it.
It was. I polished off the four pack of the stout. Had some Ultimat Vodka. If you ever see that, get it. Good vodka, but the bottle you get is the real prize. All glass, thick and heavy, labels come off.Looks like a good night.
Some jackie o'$ nut brown ale.. might have to brew one soon.
Hope to get a few growlers tomorrow at the mcbc taproom grand opening! ! Super stoked to have a brewery 200 ft from my work.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Home Brew mobile app
Jackie O's is in Athens OH ... a great brewery who unfortunately has a pretty limited distribution area.
I hope he sent some Bomb! and Noir.
Coffee..it's cold here.
(I am certain to be kicked out of the club soon for this BS)
What would you do...buy a basic keg setup with 3 picinic taps until it is a better time to splurge on the fridge shanks and perlicks (I don't think I'll bother with anything else and just do it right the first time) OR get a 2 faucet setup for slightly more knowing that a third faucet can fit & it is what I really want so I can have 3 kegs on tap?
Basically the price difference, because I need the kegs, will be this:
Basic: $217.30 + $140 for two kegs (I have one already)
Faucet setup (2): $282.13 + $70 for the other keg
Faucet setup (3): $377.10 + 140 for the other two kegs
I wanted 3 for variety and/or cider. I would like to never bottle cider again...my luck hasn't been super with that.
I've got a massive lager chamber right now. Just wrap it in your warmer to keep it from freezing in the five degree air and I'll set it right outside the door.
Water and coffee ...

I would go something like a kegging setup with 3 way manifold, or regulator depending on how you want to do things, and 2 taps/shanks. You can always add on a cobra hose for the third or use the third gas out for carbing while waiting for tapping.
Alternately if you are going on the 1 regulator per keg, you can get a dual pressure regulator and buy an add-on regulator for it to make it a 3 when funds allow.
Going to find out tonight after work. Will let you know!
I threw these in the fridge for the after work hump day celebration.

I just understood that the Perlicks weren't just pretty, but they offered some sort of protection against sticking. I'm a one woman show here as I cannot get my dog to drink. Even though I go through motions of drinking far too frequently to not drinking during the week, I just want to be sure I don't end up with stuck faucets.When I switched to kegging I focused more on collecting kegs first to get away from bottling because I hate it with a passion. I used picnic taps for a while and still do at times because I have about twice as many kegs as faucets currently. It all comes down to personal preference. Perlicks don't make the beer taste any better, but dammit are they pretty!!!
On the coffee.
Water. I got my dog food and Petsmart was crazy busy. I have bread, milk, and beer. I should be okay.

I think what I'll do for now are the picnic taps. I have a birthday literally right around the corner and mama is likely going to ask me what I'm interested in as a gift. So I can get the taprite regulator with air distributor and spend the "savings" on two kegs. I've put in an offer on eBay for two kegs that'll save me $25 if accepted but I am doubtful it'll be accepted. I think I dealt with this yahoo before and he was firm on his $45 a piece and $27 shipping. Not far from Kegconnection.
I appreciate all the help.
If that deal doesnt work on Ebay, check out beverage elements. I would trust buying from a retailer like that, then someone off ebay. The quality of keg has a higher chance of being better from beverage elements IMO.
