[mcbaumannerb]

Chocolate bacon stout is on my list of future brews. Why not chicken?

How about chicken and biscuit blonde?

Fat tire in a can. Got another can of it in a chickens butt on the grill

Drink the beer and refill the can with water. You won't know the difference.

On beer #3: my Noble Old Baldy Pale Ale (really ended up being more of a hoppy blond ale, oh well)

Beers 1 and 2 of the day were my Sculpture IPA and Josef's Helles. Was going to bottle up Sculpture IPA #3, but got caught up doing more important things. Everything is cleaned already, so I'll give it all a quick rinse with starsan in the morning. (But brewing has been pushed to Sunday as well!)

Actually it does make a difference to the taste of the meat. Not a lot but there is some.

I usually drink a little over half the beer and add some juice and herbs.

While I don't necessarily think the SA glass is the perfect pint, I've got to say it sure does make beer look fantastic. This is a Rye, Aye Captain.

The only good thing about the "Great Jai Alai shortage of 2013" is that when you do find it, it's only 2 days old. Massive difference between 2 and 30 days, this beer is t!ts!!! And t!ts is good.

Big ol' glass of Oatmeal Stout.

Question for y'all. I think I'm going to pick up something special for myself for Monday. Will be 6 months since I quit smoking, the furthest I've made it before. Don't want to pull something out of my stash (maybe after a year smoke free I will though), but not sure what to go for. Recommendations?

If good beer is a trigger for smoking, get a fat bottle of red wine. Or liquor. First time I quit (lasted 12 yrs) I was double fisting it til the craving passed. 2nd time did Chantix, and that doesn't blend with alcohol well at all.

 

[BUCKNUTS]

Fatheads Spooky Tooth Imperial Pumkin Ale. Delicious

 

[ricewing]

Apple Pie Moonshine

 

[WesleyS]

This, and all of it.

Meh, you can have it.
I do like that growler though.

 

[BrewYoke]

Sculpin. From a can!

[dcHokie]

Just popped this Blaugies Biere Darbyste, and I'll get some 3726 dregs for my trouble

Rendered chicken skin in the secondary? Marris 90%, Munich 5%, Biscuit 5%? Not quite blonde, and how would you hop it? Low amt perle in the boil?

Every other time I've tried I've tried to go macho and do it cold turkey. I made it almost 6 months one time (when a friend quit with me, we both failed). This time I went Nicorette which made it so much easier. But I also had a case of pneumonia as a motivator. It's very rare I get a craving any more, and that's usually when I smell it, rarely out of the blue.

In any event...

There's something wrong with me when we go to a South African chicken place for dinner, and I only get their "extra hot" peri-peri marinaded chicken (the one where the description includes the words "reckless bravado") because I'm not feeling like something that spicy (as opposed to the 3X hot sauce they have with the prominent warning label that isn't on the menu anywhere that's still on the milder side but closer to my taste).

Wasn't feeling super spicy earlier, but here I am having a double pour of my Jalapeno/Serrano/Habanero/Ghost Chili Smoked Porter. Probably going to regret this. It's intense even for me.

Drinking a soda and wishing these were cold enough to drink already. UPS delivered way too late and they just went in the fridge about an hour ago.

That's what I am doing now, cold turkey. I've tried the gum, I've tried the patch and I've tried tapering. This is the longest I've made it in 10 years because of cold turkey. I hear chantix works well, but since I work on submarines I am not allowed to take it.

Another freshie.

Would that be because of the CRAZY dreams it's supposed to give you?

My old boss quit with Chantix. Said he had the most terrifying and vivid nightmares ever because of that stuff.

I found a recipe on the interweb for an Irish Red Ale. It's been in the bottle 3 weeks and 2 days (the last 2 days were in the fridge). It tastes OK but it isn't red it's brown. When you hold it up to the light there is a (really)faint red tint. Having said that the beer isn't clear. Maybe if it was the color would be lighter (redder?). I'm going to leave this another couple of weeks before trying it again.

This is my second all grain batch. The first was BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde. That one tastes great too but gets hazy after a little while in the fridge. I think I am going to have start taking steps to get clearer beer (fining agents, cold crashing).
