A friendly place for friends who drink

Taco bell last night?

For my AOTD, Red Wheat/Huell Melon SMaSH, prob ferment with TYB Amalgamation (Brett blend), cuz why the funk not.

 

Geeky enough that we stopped at Austin Homebrew. Holy flock, that is a bloody huuuge store!

HEB is next on the tour. Blue owl recked me yesterday. Sour stomach and 8 12 oz pours (SWMBO was driving, I got most of her samples). They had a bit of an active fermentation going.

It was $100, but I used a 20% off coupon so 80 plus the $89 flat rate shipping. Cheaper than the Blichmann gun for sure.

 

Cane sugar and saison yeast. No hops

Suck it, world

 

My youngest boy just got back from Cusco last week. Besides a bunch of other things, he did get up to Machu Picchu. He said it was awesome (everything, including the mountain citadel). I was jealous!

 

I tried a variation of that. Are you saying there should be headspace?

I ended up just sticking a grommet onto my picnic tap, and held the frozen bottle at an angle so that the beer ran down the side. I pushed down, but not so hard the the pressure couldn't release a bit. It worked great. I might just start doing that from now on. No yeast on the bottom, don't have to wait three weeks for it to carb! 'Twas nice!

 

Yeah... That's awesome.

I was basically filling it to the brim, thinking it would hold better that way. I was wrong.

Now when I pull the wand out, I just cap right away instead of trying to top off.

Honestly don't know why I was doing it that way.

 

You guys hyped for that MCBS release this week? I know I am.



I'm also really, really, really bored..

 

You're all so fancy with your legs and whatnot.

After we buy a house, and like the $10k worth of stuff my wife has decided we need once we buy the house. I would rather buy everything to keg than replace the dinner table set. Plus it's cheaper

 

Fantastic work.

 

That webhost is blocked at my work.

 

I take mine for granted, but they do come in handy.

 

****ing autocorrect! I changed it to kegs like 3 times and must have missed it. I make plenty of typos so it helps, until it doesn't.

 

No, but stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, so now I'm Mike Holmes reincarnate..

 

Glad you had a nice trip. T'was a nice weekend. Noticed you didn't make it north, possibly next time?

 

This is my beer. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My beer is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life. My beer, without me, is useless. Without my beer, I am useless.

Cool pic.

 

Glad it went well! I for one think you'll enjoy the rye.

Speaking of brewing with rye, I ended up 8 points low on my brew. Had to have been the ****ty rye crush, as the stuff from the other HBS was awesome. Oh well, it'll still be beer.

I can't even get there. My access to the secret sub-forum has been totally revoked, not just the Tap Room. Well, at least I know now one of the mods has it out for me.

 

finsfan 's vanilla buffalo stout recipe. last bottle..while brewing another batch

 

I really like nugget. I always wondered why more places didn't use it

 

I dunno about nugget. Don't think I mind it.

Fuggles is like dingleberries though.

 

My dudes! That's what I'm talking about.. hey um.. you's guys need some Nugget?? I've got a freezer full and my wife hates me for it!!

 

The only nugget beers I've had were all using homegrown roflnuggetz, so I'm not even sure I can have a stance on it yet.

Maybe I'll brew up a 1 gal nugget smash, let it ferment out, then pour it on the driveway.

 

Havta ferment it at a temp of 94 degrees. That's important

 

Hey come on... now... I used nugget pellets in Shredder.

OT:

Going to go ahead and assume this is NSFW -

 

Red X & Amarillo. The malt makes very pretty wort and I like Amarillo.

 

Stop trolling CAD. It's not nice to play with his emotions.

 

Same guy

Who would have thunk it

 

Haha. Just isn't the typical American hop flavor/aroma I've grown to love so much.

Also, A+ spalling there.

 

So i guess we're stuck with you?

I didn't read the history behind the post. While still not reading it, shall I now assume we're talking about nugz and not hops? Cuz then yeah, ship me some along with some HBs.

 

Living dangerously there chef.

 

wat?

No. I have a freezer full of vac sealed hops.
Going to start using them as padding in beer boxes.

 

Need to pull some dry hops soon...

 

Danger's my middle name.

 

No doubt. That gave me the anxieties.

Makes you sound more like a dinosaur
