The Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS Thread

[Melana]

Oh, yeah! They push each other out of the way to get at it. Big treat for them. I almost get as many kisses from them for the spent grain as I do for pretzels or banana peels.

You're welcome to my grain any time!

 

[Melana]

Grrrrr.... Due to a faulty valve on my gas tank I'm out of fuel. BigJohn is the best... He is on his way to the Depot to get me more fuel!

 

[Oginme]

Always good to have someone willing to make the run for you!

 

[Melana]

I was going to go but he insisted.

 

[Oginme]

At the risk of making this seem like a normal conversation, what's the brew of the day?

 

[paulthenurse]

Where are you located? SWMBO loves goat milk and makes great cheese. Her goat farmer stopped selling out the back door.

 

[Oginme]

Mornin' Paul. We are in New Ipswich, NH, right across the border from Ashby/Townsend.

 

[paulthenurse]

Darn. Too far. Move south.

 

[Oginme]

Unfortunately, selling raw milk in MA is a big hurdle. That's one of the reasons I am just over the border. To get anywhere of significance, I have to go through MA. I will ask around of the goat people I know and see if there is someone close to you who sells milk.

 

[paulthenurse]

Cool. Thanks. Gnight all. I'm off to bed. That was one long ass night.

 

[Melana]

It's not selling per se if you trade for something....

Paul... John and I could make a milk run for you sometime....

 

[Melana]

Brown ale per request of the big guy.

Brew Day! SWMBO suggested that maybe I do a winter beer to give away this year. I said, that sounds awesome but I hate the spiced winter beers. So I thought, what about a spiced stout. So Winter Solstice as a concept was born. Now I have to run a couple batches to make sure that it is actually tasty. It will be a cardamom, oatmeal, coffee stout.

Yes, I stole the idea of cardamom from Clown Shoes Bombay Berserker. I had never thought to put it in beer but I really like cardamom in my coffee.

 

[j1laskey]

I am going to the Kinsale tonight for beers before seeing moe. at the orpheum. Anyone know if Bog Water is still on tap or did they go out of business yet?

 

[revelation]

I think Kinsale is still around.

 

[j1laskey]

The Kinsale is.....I was referring to the resident pro brewer and his beer?

 

[revelation]

Oh, well they are expanding so I assume that it means they are still in business and actually doing well. According to the "I went Pro" thread, they are making a profit and doing quite well, so I assume that he is not lying in a desparate attempt to make it seem that they are afloat instead of sinking quickly...

 

[paulthenurse]

I was there this week and had lunch with the pro himself. The blonde was on tap then. Three gills of Burley Blond, straight from the hogshead.

 

[j1laskey]

I hate to admit it but......Bog Stinger is pretty good

 

[Melana]

Yeah, it's ok to admit it.... Did you have to admit it in public?

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Mornin' Paul. We are in New Ipswich, NH, right across the border from Ashby/Townsend.

I live half way between New Ipswich and the Attleboro. I've been meaning to try out cheesemaking. If you want me to make a run I could do it. PTN may want socks for his fetish tho.

 

[paulthenurse]

You say fetish like its s bad thing.


If you are thinking about making a trip I know SWMBO would want a carboys worth of goat milk. She works in Attleboro at the Durty Sturdy so an exchange could be easily arranged. Thanks for the thought.

 

[j1laskey]

Yeah, it's ok to admit it.... Did you have to admit it in public?

I didn't order a second one

I have carboys coming out of my arse so we wouldn't have to worry about handing those back and forth. It's all up to oginme's ladies.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Holy cr-! The sox are smacking around the Rays again. Sipping on a Julio's/Smuttynose Fashionably Old Ale. It's a twist on an whiskey barrel aged ale. Does taste like an old fashioned.

 

[Melana]

Sox? The B's are on... Sox...pfft.

 

[Oginme]

You will just need to let me know when and how much you want to pick up. I generally keep about 2 to 3 gal on hand at any one time but can have plenty more if needed.

You'd also want some way to keep it cool for the trip.

 

[Melana]

Oh! Add me to the list for some too please.

Is there anything we could bring you in trade?

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Yea. Throw out a wishlist. I'm between contracts and my taps are low so I was going to do a couple of brewday marathons before the holidays. I may not be able to handover homebrews but I'll find something plus piles of grains for da goats. Too bad I was up at Lull Farm in Milford just last weekend.

 

[day_trippr]

Sox? The B's are on... Sox...pfft.

It was a clicker-fest, but totally worth watching both games. Sox rocked Price for a rare win against him, with Ortiz launching a couple of bombs...and the B's are showing the Wings who owns this house...and was that Chara goal a thing of beauty or what?

Yup, a fine sports night in New England...

Cheers!

 

[ComcastWineRookie]

Habs Win, Habs Win!

 

[revelation]

Homebrewing, raising goats, making your own cheese, and trading farm goods, when did I enter an episode of Portlandia and start dreaming of the 1890s...

 

[yeager1977]

Hell I was at Plymouth plantation today and was like "this is the masshole thread"

 

[Melana]

We're the animals afraid?

 

[paulthenurse]

That's a silly question. Think about it. You're a goat, tethered to a fence at Plymouth Plantation and Yeager comes strolling down the lane. You bet your soon to be violated arse you're afraid..

 

[Cape Brewing]

Ah damn it... I should have put out a note to folks letting them know I was going to be at the Bog early today. I'm doing what is called a "step mash".... it's kind of a complicated process and not something I think you guys would do with your Mr Beer kits. I could have shown someone how to do it.

damn...

next time

Open for fills?

 

[Cape Brewing]

for you... sure.

Seriously... do you ever sleep? I'm starting to think you're a vampire

 

[Melana]

Not as much as I should.

 

[Cape Brewing]

I think I'm going to 'officially' open from 11-1 (can't sell before 11) but if someone like yourself happened to swing by any time I was here.... (I am really hopinh to catch the kickoff at home... which is a 3 minute drive away)
