What are you drinking now?

A mixture of both. I'm having a beer after picking up a new(to me) washing machine this evening. Some very generous friends of mine gave us their newish washing mashing because they're moving into a furnished place and needed to get rid of it. Now, I just need to get the room it's going in rebuilt.

 

I don't get too caught up in style guidelines...too many questions with different answers depending on who you talk to. Where is the line drawn between a standard IPA and a double IPA? Is it ABV? 7.5% or 8%...is Ruination still a double IPA by today's standards? Is there such thing as a triple IPA? If there is does that make 120 minute IPA a quadruple IPA? All I know is Green Bullet isn't that good, and I'm kinda pissed I dropped $15 on 4 bottles of it tonight. Maybe if I drink them all tonight and then open up my cellar for a night cap I'll feel like I got my $$$'s worth.

 

I meant to make sure I tried some Knee Deep brews when I went back home to CA to visit in August but didn't. How is there stuff, generally? One of my friends back there swears Simtra is one of the best IPAs he's had.

Now some of my Edinburgh Session.

 

Try this again. Just finished this.

 

Niiice glass for a non homer glass :-D

Niiiiice rack brah!

 

Wow thats a crazy price, Im in Michigan and dont pay that much for Green Flash and its new here!

 

How much is Green Bullet there? This is alot more for a 4-pack than Green Flash's other stuff.

 

I guess it'll do.

Thanks man! Season is coming up. Getting the itch!

 

Apparently I don't know how to quote someone

 

Like this? Lol


Im a little addicted. Hopefully I can find some more of this.

 

Like that

 

Drinking a HB red

 

Finishing my second glass of Milk Stout, then going to bed. It's been a very long day.

 

I wanna say $10.50 but maybe it was mispriced in which case I should go get it lol

 

I drank too much tonight but its the mid week weekend. Tonight I'm sleeping well tonight.

 

Nah

 

A couple Guinness and a couple Sammy As octoberfest. Not too exciting but good beer to drink while watching the game.

 

Lagunitan lucky 13' forgot how good this Is..... feeling like a.Lagunitas kind of night

 

I just picked up a bottle of that last week and promptly drank it and enjoyed the hell out of it!! Life's short. Drink it now. It could probably do well with some time, but why wait. I mean, at that price, but three. Drink one now, age one a few mo this and then lay the third down for a year or two. See what happens! I think mine was about $8+change as well. Good price for how good it is!

I smashed my last Dark Truth Stout while watching the baseball game and learning the intricacies of the 737-800NGX hydraulic system. Some good light reading! I recommend it!

 

Hop Stoopid Ale. Blasted by hoppy goodnes right when I popped the top off. Is good as it smells, I had to suffer through a 12 pack sampler of sam adams before going out and getting a sampler group of my own choosing. Looking for ideas for my next brew.

 

Nice! I have a 2011 and a 2012 down in the cellar from one of my MAWs. So far I've resisted temptation to crack one open

You should have blended it with some Hell or High Watermelon.

I'm at the point where I think that Green Flash in general is overpriced for the beer you get. It isn't swill, but not worth what they charge.


And onto coffee on this very brisk fall morning!

 

Coffee and wondering when my shipment from Hops Direct will come in. Anyone have any experience with shipping times from them?

 

Me too. I have a clone aging up a little, and just picked up a 1/4 keg on Tuesday. First couple glasses off of it last night. Delicious.

 

Thought I was gonna work 12, turns out the damn contractor I was working with lied. First: Dead Guy, Now: Bell's 2 hearted, Next: Glenlivet.

 

Coffee. It's cold this morning & I was just getting to sleep good when it was time to jump & run again...

 

Coffee while I complain about being up since 5 am for no good reason.

 

5:30AM for me,2 hours later than when I was still working. I'm getting too old for this shizz.

 

Do you work outside? I would be sad if I had to work outside in freezing temps. Though it's not quite freezing yet, it's 36F.

And can we talk about how my search for "how to use a plate chiller" (I know, it's stupid that I didn't know) results in the related searches to the right? HAHA

 

What did you used to do for a living union?

I'm drinking green tea while I make coffee, teaching a class today, I suppose I shouldn't put whiskey in my coffee.

 

I think it becomes ingrained in you after so long. My uncle has been retired for probably 25 + years and he still gets up between 430 and 5 every morning.

 

You cut yourself down too much miss mam. Not a single one of us here knew exactly what a plate chiller was or how it worked until we either looked it up or happened upon the answer on accident.

That said you know you clicked on a few of those other links

 

For the moment. lol Temp job that pays a lot more than my regular one does. (Firewatch for a refinery turnaround) Probably gonna get laid off and go back to my regular gig in the next week or 2.

 

Whatcha teachin? Something microbiological?

Drinkin more water. Just under a half gallon in already. Will be finally making my new brew kettle 15 gallon with half inch ball valve sight glass blichmann brewmometer. Finally going to brew like a brewer should.

 

Since I'm sure you read it, how do you use a colon?!

 

Coofffeeee!
