I usually set my clock to "Dublin Time" so it's never to early here on the East Coast.

Heheh, I have to do the same thing! Lol!
Oh look, if I just move this into secondary for a week I can clear my beer a bit more AND brew another batch today... Ok, got me!

I thought the same way when I ordered the Barley Crusher grain mill. But when it came in,I had it sitting on top of the box just put together,she walked in. Oook,here we go,I though. She smiled when she saw it,walked up closer,scrutinizing it intensely. She asked "what is it?" & before I could speak she looked at the roller base where the name was. "Ooooh,it's a grain mill!" with a big smile on her face.
To be honest,I'm still a bit apprehensively baffled on this one. Idk,maybe she's thinking this purchase will keep me on the road to PM on up & saving $$ on brewdays. She was a bit miffed at the Government for passing more stringent laws on spring water that jacked up the price from 10c to 25c per gallon.

It's 104* outside. It never gets over 90 here in the mountains so no AC. WTF made me think today would be a good day to brew?

"Who are these 'everything must go' guys shedding all their brewing equipment? I'm sure they are just upgrading. It's not because they had kids because that is when one would need beer the most."

My girlfriend is moving just across state lines for grad school, so far I have had several thoughts on this:
"Oh, Virginia gets lots of beer that I can't get here!"
"If she's moving into an apartment that covers utilities, but doesn't have a balcony, then I will need an electric system for when I visit."
"If I'm going to go through the trouble of building an electric system, perhaps I should make it ten gallons and move away from these five gallon batches."
And "I bet I could head over to the under-grad campus on Saturdays and pick up a bunch of bottles when I start to run low."

They may all be cans and BMC twist offs.

That's ok, I'm still sitting on about 7 empty cases from a HBT member (plus all the beer I've been drinking). But I do have 2 batches in primaries and 2 planned to try to fill them up!

Bah! I have three kids under 6 and I still find time to brew about one 10-gallon batch a month.
Who needs sleep, anyway?

I couldn't find a thread titled "Things a homebrewer hears" so I'm just going to insert the story here.
Last week I picked up a small chest freezer to use as a fermentation chamber. As I'm sitting on the garage floor wiring the controller in, my girlfriend pulls up with her 5-year old grandson and he asked me what I was doing. Rather than go into the details, I just said, "Beer stuff." His response, "Andy, why are you always turning stuff into beer stuff?"
Ha! Kids.

There's a thread called "Funny things you've overheard about beer". It's just as good as this thread. I'm subscribed to both.
'I should go to sleep... but this growler is still half full.'
Not that I'm thinking this right now or anything.

You spend 2/3 of your life sleeping, and such a small amount of time drinking beer. Finish the growler, you can sleep anytime.
2/3 of your life sleeping? 1/3 maybe, unless your a bear!

Yeah, 1/3, that's what I said. My argument still stands: Drink up!
:d:d
Those were supposed to be big smiles cause it was funny.

Hey,I still have to do field research on different beer styles while my latest ferments.
"Either I'm making great beer, or I have a crappy palate. Either way, I win!"
I am currently thinking this in astonishment as I taste a 5-day-old altbier that I unintentionally fermented in 2 days at 80*. Somehow it actually tastes kinda like it's supposed to. "Either way, I win!"

I need to either add on, or buy a bigger house. I am running out of room to store my brew/equipment/grains!

Oh they have that in a mini cask? I should buy that rather than a few bottles as I can probably harvest the yeast, (£7 if i buy wyeast/white labs) and reuse the keg (£7) as an easy gallon to take to party's! And it's only £18 total so it's £4 for all the beer really, silly not to!

Yes, field research.
SWMBO: "Didn't you just brew 5 gallons of the same thing"
ME: "I need this for the basis of comparison."
While bottling: "49, 50, 51, 52, 53... 54?... yep... 55?... ... nope, not quite, gotta drink that one."

That's how I feel all the time. Sierra Nevada Stubbies and the new Kona bottles are winners in my book!

Can't see the detailing the bottle but they have the Hawaiian islands in the glass! Being a home brewer in Hawaii that makes it all that much better when I ship bottles to friends on the mainland!
I love cool,unusual bottles like that. Like the Wernesgruner pils I get at aldi's. It has a crest with hop bines around it on the neck of the bottle. And the words "original German beer" around the shoulder. Or the older Paulaner bottles with the bearded Salvatoran monks around the shoulder of their bottles...gone now darn it.

Any embossed bottles are pretty cool normally!
On another note:
Is it bad to want a beer at 5am? It's 5 right?
