What are you drinking now?

[ChefRex]

Water. F***ing dihydrogen monoxide.

I'm on vacation with SWMBO, and somehow (thanks to her excellent planning) we've ended up staying several days in a dry county.

Somebody please overnight me some beer, pronto.

Sounds like grounds for divorce!

Still on my IPA.

I love that opener. What caliber shell is that, 30-06?

EDIT: I'm not much of a gun guy but that looks 30-06 shells I've seen while shooting with my uncle.

Thanks, man.

Nope. It's a .50 cal shell. Faster than a 30-06. The 30-60 is more efficient fwiw but the .50 gets there faster with a lot more grain.

 

[Ridire]

Ridire is my idol. I'm still puffing after washing my cars and mom's SUV.

You guys heard it. Remmy's idol. That takes some sort of messed up to achieve, doesn't it?

From my limited experience with a 30-06, what it hits ceased to exist any longer, on any dimensional plane. I think old photographs of the target even disappear.

 

[Ridire]

Still killing the fish. Should I feel guilty for ignoring my family, who are all holed up in the A/C, or annoyed that they're wasting this beautiful day inside?

.50 does the same thing. I wouldn't want to get hit!

That's friggin hilarious.

Hell to the nah. Mom is visiting and she and SWMBO are on the screened-in porch with the kids. I'm on the front porch blasting this gar and more home brew. Enjoy the gar without worrying.

 

[drainbamage]

Madtree Sol Drifter (strawberry blonde ale). I'm not really a fan of fruit-flavored beers and this is no exception.

Anyone else having server issues today?

 

[Remmy]

Nothing like home brew. Nothing.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

hydro sample of my 8 gallons of Helles Bock that didn't take off. old yeast & didn't make sure the starter was solid. pitched a Brett blend TNGabe sent me and some Pedio. sitting at 9% right now & getting funky!

You talked me into another THA. Hell, I'll be camping with all those people again starting Tuesday, anyway. Then they won't be able to hide from the outdoors and this incredible Michigan summer.

 

[Remmy]

I feel higher like a lion in Zion.

 

[coldcrash]

Back on the Floccin crawfleh

 

[jimmerz]

Grabbed a 4 pack of Sierra Nevada's Big foot. I've never had a barley wine... I'm excited!

 

[Ridire]

Went down to the basement to get another beer. I haven't cleaned my fermenter or bottling bucket from yesterday yet. It smells like chocolatey, vanilla, stout awesomeness down there. My wife tasted the beer going into the bottles, flat and green, and said she would drink a few of these as are. It's going to be a long wait to Christmas this year.

 

[plath]

Water before I start hitting the beer. Need to wait until dinner as I just realized I forgot to eat lunch today.

Anything in it other than chocolate and vanilla? Not that that isn't enough but you called it a Christmas stout so just curious if that title is a reference to when you will be consuming it or does it have holiday related flavors. I want to do a holiday beer and I'm over pumpkin beer, a stout might be the way to go.

Nothing really makes it a "Christmas" beer other than the timing and its intended use as gifts. It is the Oatmeal Porter from the recipe database here, with a lot more grain, a bit more chocolate, more vanilla and a pound of lactose.

EDIT: took a recipe I know works and turned into a Bad Sass original. That Oatmeal Porter was damn good as is.

 

[Ridire]

Still on the fish. Kids are now out here with their friends ... and our crazy dogs. Why did I want them out here? I forget.

gotcha. Thanks I'll go look at recipes

 

[Ridire]

I should have added more base. I was thinking this would be an imperial stout based on the OG. I forgot that the other grains and lactose were going to get me a FG of around 1.030. OG was 1.080, which only gets the ABV to 6.5% - 7%.

Sounds like a good stout to me. Plenty of residual sugar left and lactose for body/mouthfeel. I like chocolate stouts a lot. A couple years ago I made a mint chocolate stout that was horrible. It sounded good on paper that combo of flavors works well together but my application of the flavors sucked and so did the beer.

Yeah, I was going to add coffee to this but decided I'd experimented enough as is. This is also my first starter, which was yeast harvested from Bells Porter.

my Scrote-ish Ale. it ain't home brew unless you dip yer berries in before fermentation.

I think that's how gose gets its saltiness.

Lemonade pairs great with the following:

fellow beer drinkers of HBT, you're welcome. anyone wanny try my extra salty Gose?

 

[Ridire]

Getting in something light while wife is on a pizza run. No judging and beer counting...

Apfelwein question: stuff was "brewed" 3-4 weeks ago. There is still visual signs of fermentation. When do you bottle this stuff

 

[tripplehazzard]

On that note. Im drinking my tequila lime brett saison.

Yesterday was IPA and English pale ale day. Today I'm enjoying my own version of California Common. Damn the wlp810 did a great job!

Pretty good IPA - thanks fins!

I bottle when it drops crystal clear and there isn't any sign of active fermentation.

Made jerk pork with Walkerswood jerk sauce. Sweet mother of God is that stuff hot. Putting out the flames with a Centennial Blonde.
