A friendly place for friends who drink

@la_hunter5

how's married life treating you? no ragrets?

 

Gonna make some burgers in a bit, and decided to make my mom's potato croquettes as a side. Citrusinensis #2 on a completely empty stomach. I hate missing lunch, but at least I'll be buzzed shortly.

 

Why did you skip lunch? That's unacceptable for me.

 

Back to back Dr appointments with no time in between.

 

My life is a constant stream of ragrets. This is just par for the course. If my left hand weren't slightly heavier, I'm not sure I'd even notice.

 

No nooo you don't have to do that. I'm an emotional mess most days. Today was just an ultimate wreck. Thank you though, appreciate it.

 

You need a sammich pocket.

 

Or a growler of DEM?

If only work didn't frown upon drinking on the clock...

Ftfy

You can always retreat to over here if you need to!

 

Depends. Are you that guy that likes non alcoholic alcohol and over compensates for something with a monster sized dog?

 

I don't think you're supposed to snort it.

 

Same beer...took a gravity (1.004) sample today and it tastes great. I know you mentioned maybe splitting and dry hopping half when I asked about dry hopping...stewing about that since I make small batches (3 gal) so not sure if it's worth it. If I did I would probably go with mosaic since I have it and I like it
Thoughts everybody? dry hop or no? And another question, I usually cold crash, can I do that with this as well or should I rack it first and then cold crash? Or no cold crash at all?

softball league...I was joking about that....sort of...it's a church softball league. Some of the teams can get pretty competitive, ours not so much. We have 3 teams in our church and they used to be sort of ranked best to social. Then they made them all fairly even (we all stunk) but I think there is a push from some of the more competitive guys to make them less social this year. I tend to lean towards social

 

I had 3 gallons of peach sour - split off 1 gal for separate dry hopping. Ended up liking the plain version more, so maybe not the best example of my point, but nothing wrong with 1 gallon batches. I'd say dry hop the whole thing though.

I don't typically cold crash, so that would be my vote.

Last question (maybe not), I usually dry hop in primary, can I do that here or should I dry hop in secondary?
And thanks again for your help!

You made me take a look at my DD saison that I racked on mangoes, smells amazing.

Drinking a less then stellar porter. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1458169550.617186.jpg

 

Ok.

That looks pretty...

 

Are we talking about a saison? If yes, then dry hop = yes.

Drinking some new CS beers. Blueberry serenata (good, not amazing) and raspberry origins (better than it was previously).

After this I'm off to walk the dag and then a short run.

 

Drinking my kitchen sink Tripel. First evening this week I don't have a metric sh**ton (technical term) to do. Need to do a *quick* gym session later tonight (brief warmup and then blast my shoulders for 20 minutes), but that's it.

I suppose I should make dinner.

 

I've have access to amazing beer, but it's hard not to feel jealous of your beer when you post the photos. Enjoy!

 

Yep, go for primary, no reason for secondary, unless you decide to split the batch (rack off the first gallon for dry hop, then the rest to bottling bucket).

Off to HB club meeting - bringing peach sour and brett saison

 

MMMMM those sound good.

 

I could go for a peach sour.

 

Yikes. That does seem high. How long is the riding season up there?

Woke up feeling great this morningish. About an hour later my lower back started hurting. I did not even do anything to hurt it besides get out of bed and make coffee. How does someone hurt their back making coffee?!?



What he said. At least from 15-18 seconds.. Not the rest. I swear!

 

Drinking the "white ipa" while starting the rye pale ale recipe.

 

Welp, after a new set of cleats I'm officially broke as flocc.

 

Thanks everybody for your help. Going with the mosaic in primary.
Cool stuff!

Keep your fingers crossed one of the teams needs a sub .200 hitting mediocre right fielder!

 

Ahhh. Red Sox on tv. Life is good
