Water for now. Maybe coffee later. Maybe so some work today. Maybe not
Mark's Vanilla Pumpkin Porter. I'm afraid I got an infected bottle :-/
Also had his saison which was very good, really enjoyed that one.
At least the power is on, right?
Oolong here. Going to help a friend bottle some beer this morning.
Sorry about the infection - nothing added post-boil other than the vodka soaked vanilla so it must have been the bottle
Yes. Other than a momentary flicker on Wednesday morning we've had it, so in that regard we are lucky. I just hope the FedEx Office has it and is open today so I can ship out an eMAW.

Drinking water while going blind staring at spreadsheets on a computer screen.
^ how i it?

I'm on the water as well.
Perhaps a guided meditation would help you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jyy0ra2WcQQ :rockin:
Hahahaha, thank you for that. But it would appear that BGBC may need it more than me at this point...
That is awesome! I wish I had something like that local here, I will be setting up a commercial account with a lab in Colorado soon for the brewery since I'm the house "yeast/brewing science" nerd.Earl Grey for me. Just finished setting up account with a new yeast lab here in MI. Ill only be brewing with fresh lab grown strains only days old from now on. The first two I ordered ( will be ready at end of next week) Conan and a Belgian saison
Coffee and oatmeal for breakfast.
Looks like Inbev just bought Blue Point. Guess that is their plan. Buy craft breweries instead of making better beer.
That kind of stuff pisses me off! What self-respecting craft brewer would sell out to InBev? The exact reason most people decide to drink homebrew is because BMC beers are crap. I don't have much confidence that operations will stay the same. They'll find a way to ruin the new brand too.
I'd rather go out of business and sell off my equipment than take a helping hand from InBev. *****ebags!
Whew - FedEx finally updated the package status to show that it was on the truck for delivery. I was getting worried !
I agree with you regarding going out of business vs. selling out to InBev. One can hope they won't change recipes or processes. It's hard to give them the benefit of the doubt, but they continue to brew "flawed" beer with Rolling Rock in order to stay true to the brand.
Water with lunch!
Guess I should have said coffee, then went on a rant! haha
Its gonna be cutbacks to brew cheaper but stay "crafty"
Aside from the recipes and process (which I agree they will find ways to cut costs on those) there is also the very real possibility they will move production. Is AB In-Bev going to leave a production facility halfway out Long Island when they have a massive plants across the US? Two of their best ways to increase profits are to maximize plant utilization at their existing facilities and cut transportation costs...I agree with you regarding going out of business vs. selling out to InBev.

Barrel-aged Austoner Weisse with cherries. Mildly tart. Haven't had many good cherry beers, but this is nice.

I hope they do too and get your package delivered today! Just got the coffee pot going. Almost out of the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. Come payday I'm ordering a roaster and a bunch of green coffee.

Anyone gonna be at Russian River tonight/tomorrow morning for some Younger/Beatification drafts?
water. been sick for a few days & dehydrated.
I think it was the batch. Mine was gushy /weird also.
Popcorn pooper or actual roaster? If the latter, what did you spring for?
Got a sample of Spent Planet Fermentation's Brown Flag. Local nano apparently. Never heard of them, but was offered a sample by Deepak at Whip In, and who am I to turn it down.
Excellent sour brown. Must investigate further.

I haven't ordered yet. Was going to start with a popcorn popper to get my feet wet before dropping $200+ on an actual roaster. All input is welcome on brands/models...
I don't know anything about actual roasters. I do small batches with a popper and larger ones with a heat gun in a bread machine. Do you know what kind of popper to get? You want the kind that has a slots rather than a screen. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, there should be lots of info you if you search.
Same symptom but different beer. The one you had was a FBS clone and I think the chocolate did that in. This one I'm not sure, it is a bit over-carbed but I haven't seen any gush like that.
