Funny things you've overheard about beer

You forgot the 10w-30 motor oil!

 

I'm thinking a nice ~10% RIS would match people's expectations of what they think Guinness is.

 

I have a little bit of a keg of this left

That is what people think Guiness is. Thick. Chewy. Bitter.

...awesome :rockin:

Also, Surly's Blakkr could be a contender.

 

Don't forget the meat, since apparently one of the rumors is that Guinness uses meat in their beer.

Before I miss the train- your CASUAL BEER DRINKER *looks directly down nose, swirling a room temperature RIS* seems to believe Guinness Draught fits the bill of Ten Fidy.

 

I was just going off about this today! the vein in my neck was even popping out a little.

 

I was discussing my homebrew with one of my friends and he says to me, "You should try making a high gravity beer." I told him that I would most likely be brewing a IIPA soon and then he says, "I guess you would have to go up to the mountains to brew it though, so it would be tough." He was dead serious...

 

Gravity higher in the mountains? Your friend is not only stupid, but also wrong! I find that gravity is lower up here. Sometimes I can fly.

Edit: Sorry, should have said what your friend said was "funny" and wrong.

 

Technically it is B)

 

I almost responded the same way, and then it occurred to me that, given the uneven mass and density of the Earth's mantle, that may not be true. Paging a Geophysicist... Bueller... Bueller....

 

Not a Geophysicist but did geodetic surveying - see geoid modelling link below:

This post is not funny or beer related.

 

No worries, so few are these days. @billy-klubb - berry punches, if you please.

 

Tell me more, technically.

 

Gravity is sliiiiiiiightly lower on mountains because you`re farther from the Earth`s center of mass but you`ll get lower gravity going to the equator because the Earth`s spin makes it spread out a bit in the middle like anything else that get spun.

 

Your Mom has an uneven mass and density.

 

That is way too much science to contemplate with a hangover, this early in the morning!

 

Ah, that's the U.S. population's problem. Their not fat, they're SPUN!

 

Physics lesson?

 

Careful talking about mama's and black holes

 

Yo mama so fat, her mass at rest is approximately equal to that of a neutron star traveling at (1-(10^-1000))c.

 

But there's more matter beneath your feet (exerting gravitational pull on you) than there would be at lower elevations. Wouldn't more matter = more gravity?

 

Up on top of the mountain, you're closer to one mountain, but you're farther away from the whole rest of the Earth. The rest of the Earth is a lot more massive than the mile or two of granite that makes up the mountain, so much more massive that being just a fraction of a percent farther from the center of mass weakens the gravitational pull a lot more than the mountain beneath your feet strengthens it.

You would feel less gravity floating at mountaintop height above sea level ground than you would on the mountaintop, but not for long.

 

The force of gravity is proportional to mass, but inversely proportional to the square of the distance separating the two objects (me and earth). If you double the mass, you double the force. If you double the distance, you quarter the force. This doesn't mean much in absolute terms, but may help explain why elevation "outweighs" the increased mass of the mountain.

Anyhow, happy to find that no one has questioned my ability to fly.

Flap on.

 

In other words, your weight matters more than the mountain beneath you, proportionate to the distance from sea level you are as well. Ain't science fun?! Especially with an Old Chub Scotch ale mixin' with Kentucky bourbon!...

 

The mass and density of the rock under the ocean is also much greater than the mass and density of continents. A mountain range is actually relatively light compared to the old and cold rock that makes up a sea bed. All elevations being equal, you would weight more standing on that ocean plate. The oceanic plates are actually so heavy that they sink way into the mantle and buoy the continents further up.


So, technically, any beer in space is a light beer. Astronauts are so lucky they don't have to deal with the calories.

 

Hey hey hey...

Make with the funny. Some of us are trying to waste time at work.

 

I know. This thread is causing me to leave work early.

Funny things I've heard about beer. ....

These guys make good/craft beer?

Does this all mean that if I brewed my pale ale on mount everest it might be a 1.060 og intead of 1.050? Cause then I will brew up there and bring it down for fermentation to get more alcoho. To get wasted.

Bringing it back home...

 

So there's actually some science behind those cartoons where the coyote runs off a cliff and floats there for a few seconds before falling.

 

Bring back the quotes from that old ass brewing book. I don't need physics again.

 

Where's Billy with those berry punches?

* Announcement* Physics is not at all funny and certainly is not directly about beer. Now before I get a 5 page "well actually" I know physics has to do with everything, or everything has to do with physics, or some how that makes sense to some one, but it still isn't funny.

 

Wanna learn some physics?

Take something off your desk

Drop it

Here endeth the lesson

 

So I inquired about Independence Brewing's Lupulust; I was told it was a New Belgian style Duval.......

It's a triple.

 

Man this whole gravity discussion is getting waaaaay too heavy!

 

It has definitely squashed my desire to keep reading this thread.

 

More of this!

 

I take it you guys weren't around for the Great Economics Derail of Two-thousand-and-whatever. Physics is still an improvement.

 

I use bottled chili sauce as a base for one of the best, and my personal favourite, BBQ sauce. It also has beer and molasses in it, so...
