A friendly place for friends who drink

Irish food- don't get me started. Growing up I never once ate corned beef and cabbage. Plenty of Irish stew, champ ( a dish consisting of mashed potato and scallions) and pork chops and frequent servings of soda farl and potato bread with Clonakilty black pudding and sausages. Oh, and mince cobbler. My granny would try and feed me bags of dried seaweed culled dulce instead of crisps and my mum will still serve a side dish of potatoes with EVERY MEAL ( "Mum it's chilli and rice tonight."- "yes but it's not right without some mashed potatoes- the pinks are just coming into season too") Guinness and bushmills whiskey are probably the tastiest things we produce.

 

Too hungry to make it home tonight. Good thing it's Tuesday!
Tuesday that is!

OK you rye peeps, got any good rye pale ale recipes, or any RyePAs that I can turn into a pale ale?

I've got citra, amarillo, sorachi ace, and hbc 429. I want to use these up. Whatcha think? I'm not big on spicy hops, but I could see a bit of malt spiciness going well with some citrusy stuffs.

 

Nice. I've got taco meat marinating now.

 

Who needs stained glass?



Repent ye sins and thy verily shall be awash in helles.

 

Red Breast is better than Bushmills

 

Mmm...E. coli is my favorite taco fixin, too.

 

Finally got home. 7-8hr of driving. That drive completely sucked because it added 2+hrs to it. I was near the border and read a article that the west bound was still opened. So i took the risk to see if it is. Nope. Got 4 miles from the border and was force to turn around and go another 100+ miles to cross the border further south through 2 lane road. Luckily i didnt get stuck behind slow a holes. On top of that. I hit Houston rush hour.. Beer and whiskey will be flowing

 

And the worst thing is that 7-8 dr was just ****ty Texas "scenery". If you were somewhere pretty it's at least comforting.

 

A lot of Louisianas too. Should have been a 5hr drive

 

Finally caught up through 365 posts,... And now I have nothing interesting to say.

Damn it!

 

My next hb is going to be a helles- which recipe did you use? That looks fantastic

 

I used m'lord GavinC's.

Round 2:

 

Never heard of that yeast.....................It must be stupid...........................!!!!!!!! Brew an obnoxiously named Dunkel

That is some killer lacing. It matters to me so it does.

I think you should up your carbonation a smidgen. You need a creamy white head on that beautifully golden looking beer. ETA: Disregard. Looks creamy above.

 

Hard to capture the underside of pup's mouth, but from the bottom he looks like the cross between Predator and a crocodile.

 

I do need to up the carb a tad, but also mainly just had the flow-control faucet too slow I think. Round 2 poured better once I turned it up.

 

I'm too cheap right now for dual regs so I just went for middle of the road. DEM too carbonated, Pils not carbonated enough. Whateverrrrr

Heck, here's that recipe, easy enough to convert the extract to grains...

Weird Alice Rye Pale Ale *
------------------------------------------

2.4G batch

1.0# 2-row
0.5# Rye
0.5# white wheat
Mashed at 150 F for 75 minutes

If I were to make this as an AG brew, I'd up the rye amount in place of some of the 2-row, and go with a different mix of hops instead of an all-Cascade boil & hop-stand. But that's just me.

 

Are those S&P shakers that are designed to look like owls on the table?

 

Yes.

 

That funky monkey.

Chub.

I'd like to get some OB beers that they make at both plants & taste them side-by-side. Just to see if there's any differences.

 

Takin' an old chub in the can, are ya?

 

cleanse - quickest way to drop 10 pounds!

 

Outstanding work. One session with all that color?

 

Can to mouth. Delicious. :fro:

 

@finsfan can probably chime in with some good rye ideas for you

 

This crap

Soon to be 3. April 20th grand opening here in Austin. I'd be curious with the buy out, if I'll have access to Cigar City stuff soon..

 

I've done some rye saisons, but I have a rye pale going now. I think it was 9# 2 row, 3# rye, and 3 oz Crystal 120 for color.

OG 1.063 used a combo of simcoe/Columbus and didn't add any hops until 15 min left in the boil. ~35-40 IBU. I did a 15 / 5 / flameout schedule.

Pitched 1 pack notty.

Gravity sample was good, and finished at 1.011.

Dry hopped with 1 oz ea simcoe/Columbus

Kegging Friday

 

HB. Dag wants some.

Yep about 3.5 hours.

This kid is going to make a name for himself. He finished his apprenticeship last year, he is going to be a amazing in a few years.

 

Having a hb ipa. Kid had hockey game, and I had a scout parent meeting and then pack meeting. I hate these busy days.

 

I feel you, baseball is starting on Thursday. We have finished our scout requirements because so many kids miss due to baseball games and practice. WE have to meet at least 1 time a month to meet the pack requirements.

 

Having this while waiting for some of my haul from tampa to cool.

@geoffey this is one outstanding brew. It reminds me of Russian River supplication. Good s**t.
