Yeah but look how many pizza's he's pulling out of that basket. Besides. Shopping carts are for chicks. You're not a chick... are you?

*defeated glance at feet*

although I am supremely stubborn about thinking I can get away with a basket and always cram stuff in it until the handles start to bend and my shoulder starts yelling at me. I broke one of them once but that apparently isnt enough to teach my ******* a lesson

You realize this is digital evidence of your lack of concern for these shoes right?
 
Damn @BGBC - glad you made it safely but that is the most stressful kind of driving.

Question for all you friendly friends - has anyone ever used the Coopers carbonation drops? I had more beer than would fit in my keg and rather than mix up sugar and fill five or six bottles, I put it in a growler and threw four tablets in. I'm wondering how long it should take to carb before I throw it in the fridge?

Taking a walk after lunch. Mostly to avoid my boss who wants to continue a discussion from our hour long meeting this morning and before our hour long meeting this afternoon. SMH.

Aren't they basically just sugar?

Nah, but I have just put a spoon of sugar in each bottle once. Took a week to carb up, for the ones that did.

I used them for my first 2-3 beers. They are just sugar. 1 drop is supposed to give avg carbonation (maybe 2.3-2.4 vol co2?) to 12oz of beer. They do take a bit longer to carb since it takes like 2 days for them to fully dissolve. Id turn the bottles upside down once or twice a day if you want to speed things up

My first batch ever used the cooper's tablets. I used two per bottle per the instructions, some were over carbed, some were not carbed at all.

I've used them for small batches, when I'm feeling lazy, etc. 1 tab per bottle has gotten a reasonable carb level.

Any concerns about carbonating in a growler though? Not being rated to handle the pressure, etc.
 
I've carbed in growlers a couple times. No bombs, but that sure doesn't mean it isn't possible. I also carbed fairly low (~2.3vol)

Thanks for all the replies.

It's a heavy flip-top growler so I think it will hold okay. But maybe I'll move it to the sink tomorrow to be safe.

Not a Tired Hands flip top, is it? Those things seem to have a terrible track record, if I remember correctly.

I used some NB brand ones and every time I tried using them I got gushers. 1 per bottle and still crazy carbed. Scared me off all carb drops for good. I think I got a bad batch as I've heard lots of people use them no problem.
 
Fat Tire isnt bad, but it's nothing good. It was commonly the only non-BMC beer at places in Texas 5 years ago and I'd happily drink it.
 
yay!!! The waffle food truck is here today. Pulled chicken with bbq and honey on a Belgian waffle was had. Not as good as the Korean pork belly from a few weeks ago, but certainly more then serviceable
 
I think I had a fat tire on Monday, actually. Wife was on an amber kick so we just rolled through the store and got singles of anything brown.
