Maybe possums descended from trolls.

Are you saying I am hunting my offspring?

That depends ... are you a troll?

 

[BobbiLynn]

I started this troll thread!! What does that make me?

 

[Varmintman]

Confused about trolls

 

[BobbiLynn]

Confused about trolls

Oh, yeah, that's how it started. But now I am even more confused.

I hope I don't use up all the "confused guy icons" on HBT, so will stop there.

Given the tongue in cheek way you started this thread, I'd say you are as anti-troll as you are anti-'possum!

Now I am confused. She lets the possum send emails calling her dog a cat and she pardoned it. Say I think Bobbi likes trolls ipe:

Hehe detective smiley

 

[mcbaumannerb]

ipe:

Hehe detective smiley

That's actually how I would picture detective Dan. Sitting in his rhyming chair of course!

I hate to change the subject but my beer smells funny. Kind of like dead possum. Should I toss it?

 

[mcbaumannerb]

heck no! ... first go visit the troll thread. If you don't find your answer there, I'm sure Revy's thread will help!

 

[Varmintman]

Sheesh beer came out my nose reading that. Now my beer smells like boggers and my boggers smell like beer. Should I dump the beer and eat the boggers

 

[BobbiLynn]

Probably the beer is just playing opossum and the airlock will start bubbling any minute now. Just keep watching it to be sure.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

just don't blink! you might miss it!

 

[Vigo_Carpathian]

Banana bread. I need banana bread.

 

[Varmintman]

Banana bread. I need banana bread.

The troll will be along shortly to take your order

 

[mcbaumannerb]

The troll will be along shortly to take your order

Unless he's playing possum in which case you might have to wait...

 

[Varmintman]

Unless he's playing possum in which case you might have to wait...

And of course it will be even longer if he is Pm Dan talking smack about Bobbi's dog again.

 

[Vigo_Carpathian]

Banana Bread.

There was an epic thread started by a guy who asked whether 5 gallon soda kegs could possibly be used to keg home brew. He was clueless not trolling. Anyways the mods destroyed that thread. The thread was super funny and I was bummed to lose the hysterical responses. Any one see it?

 

[BobbiLynn]

If you stare at an airlock for too long, you will go blind, at least in one eye. Happened to me and I never did find the airlock after it bounced off my forehead. Now I can't see out of my left eye but luckily I have extra airlocks.

I bottled my BMC clone in clear millers draught bottles. Do I need to expose them to light to get the genuine BMC flavour?

Not just any light. Sunlight. Otherwise you will end up with non-skunky beer.

I just came up with a super space saving idea. I was bending my blow-off tube to stick in my jar of sanitizer and i thought to myself "Myself you have a whole bucket of sanitary fluid right there!" So I bent my blow-off tube right around and stuck the loose end right back into my fermenting beer and its bubbling away nicely. You can thank me later for such good advice.

 

[FourSeasonAngler]

Trolls like my bear.

well DUH - if the beer was dry-possumed, it's supposed to smell that way! just don't forget to filter out the dead possums before you bottle/keg.

I'm not sure I agree with this. As long as you started with fresh possums, not road kill, then it should not have an offensive odor. Now if you started with road kill that had been sitting in the sun and decaying for a while, then yes, it will have an odor. If you are going to dry-possum, you must start with fresh kill!!!

So tired of newbies saying "oh, my beer smells funny" then dig deeper and find out they started with week old road kill!!! Always use fresh ingredients!!! How many times does this have to be repeated?????

 

[numr17]

32 times. Repeat it 32 times.

I personally find dry possuming kills my head retention, too greasy. Will have to try squirrel tea on the next batch.

 

[jtd_419]

I don't think squirrel will give you what your after.... i find gopher to have a much cleaner, more earthy flavor

I think you'll need to just use the squirrel nuts. Don't try to over do it

And remember to always avoid Lemmings!

They are almost impossible to control volume-wise. Put one in, and 12 more take the plunge!

Hey Im going to try this joke again. First time it got met with crickets. I was new then.

A jar of honey is walking down the street in a seedy part of town. A bag of 2-row approaches and says "hey Honey, want a date?" The honey is aghast! "Hey man, what do you think I am?? Some sort of braggot?!"

 

[sweetcell]

i don't get it. how do the crickets fit in?

 

[WesleyS]

i don't get it. how do the crickets fit in?

If your crickets won't fit in your carboy, get some smaller ones. The bigger the cricket the gamier the flavor as well.
