Tell me I'm not the only one...

Dad always told me beards are for ugly people.

 

Negative, not the same hombre. But he does have a wicked beard (as someone who's not allowed to grow a beard per policy, I have a tendency to be jealous of all beards and those who don't have brass getting onto them about face stubble).

iijakii - My dad always told me I had a face for radio

 

I just took a whiff out of my blowoff hose and nearly fell over. Yay high kräusen!!

 

.

 

I thought you and I were the same person... dang!

I have to sort out whose voice I am hearing in my head at any given moment.

 

I am ugly as hell, so he might have been on to something.

 

I can't be the only one that wants to smack the hell out of that guy. First, the glasses aren't prescription...

 

Nothing worse than seeing all these kids/young adults out there trying to look like lumber jacks who've never even had calluses on their hands, with their brand new, shiny boots, and clean clothes.

Flannel Shirts should have saw dust in the pockets, maybe a bit of grizzly blood, and bacon grease!

All kidding aside, I do get a kick out of seeing folks dressing like they know work and have never done an ounce of it, but all well lol.

 

I have been using a stop watch to time the burps and track metabolism. I only wish I had the patience to record it to a spreadsheet and make graphs to log witht the recipes.

 

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day....

Flannel, often. Sniffing airlocks, you bet! And listening to the bloop bloop, especially when there's more than one thing brewing, love it.

Facial hair, well HWMO seems to not like that on me so much...
C'est la vie.

 

Guilty.......

 

Nothing like swinging past the fermenter in the morning and getting a good whiff of yeast farts before I head into work.

 

Guilty. I'll check my fermenter to see how fast the bubbles are coming out of the airlock, and catch a whiff. I jokingly tell my wife that I'm checking for 'yeast farts'. to which she replies (ever the smartass) "I know, they've been farting it up in here all day!"

 

For true, it's terrifying how many millennials are completely helpless when it comes to basic labor or everyday tasks.

Also I sniff airlocks because it's like nothing else you've ever smelled (before homebrewing) and after 11 years its still exciting

 

Couldn't agree more guys. As mine slows down, brewed almost a week ago, I'm still getting the occasional bubble. I found myself literally over it today for what seemed like a few minutes. Thinking to myself, damn it, if I pull my nose away now I'll miss it! I have to say, it's crazy how the smell changes ever so slightly throughout the fermentation, love it!

 

Dude yes. I spent all day Sunday splitting and sawing wood so this rings true to men like ourselves whom bust our butts. Dang hipsters... Lol

 

This does not quite resemble your avatar...




And I'll admit to owning some red flannel...

 

So, if someone used George Clooney as their av, you'd expect them to be George Clooney?



FTR - my av is of Mr. Gone, from The Maxx comic book.

 

Sniff test every time I walk by. Record videos and now with the new iPhone 6s live photo background!

 

After going through this thread i stuffed my face into my chest freezer and took a big whiff. It was painfull!!!!!

 

lol, erick06019, I guess it's not for everyone. I keep smelling my New Castle Clone and it's crazy how it's changed over the time it's been fermenting.

 

Yup...

 

Guilty as charged! I am a sniffer..Also sometimes wear red plaid(PJ pants count, right?) and I have a beard...Damn, triple guilty!LOL

 

Haha dont get me wrong i love me some airlock sniffing, just not when i get a nose full of co2 oucwrongAlso this current batch smells like farts...

 

*edit*

 

I sniff every fermentation via the airlock. My very 1st fermentation I stuck my face down into the bucket & had a BIG sniff...
Learned an important lesson that time.
And yes, I own flannel shirts & sheets; they give me a warm fuzzy.
And I have a beard. :beard:
Regards, GF.

 

I stick my head down in the bucket to determine alcohol content on how bad my nose burns

 

Haha awesome! I'm yet to take the lid off my latest beer. It's only my 4th batch. But I figured I'd just leave that bad boy alone for 3 weeks then deal with it. Maybe 4 depending on when I am ready to wash my yeast.

I gotta find me some decent flannels that don't cost an arm and a leg. It's hard to find them that fit the shoulders and arm length without them being a big enough in the mid section to cover two of me.

 

Yep, still doing this with every batch I've made so far. Every time I walk by my fermentor I gotta get a sniff lol

 

Just took a sniff of mine when I got home tonight! ....

And if someone were to read that and NOT know what we were discussing...get your minds outta the gutter!..LMAO

 

Should I design an airlock burp sensor and program a raspberry pi to record it for dumping to windows?

 

All I have to do is open the fermenting fridge... other day even my cats left the room from the fart smell. Phat Tyre was in high krausen and reeked! Now it is smelling like beer. Innkeeper Ale is just cruising to bottling Wed if the FG is good.

 

I have had 2 supermarket kits fermenting in my office for the last 3 weeks and there's been hardly any smell.

Then I put down my first all-grain on the weekend with 28g of Cascade at the end for the aroma and everything changed. I walk in this morning, don't have to go anywhere near the airlock to get hit with that hoppy blast. Been working in here all day and I'm adjusted to it now, actually kinda like it.
