What are you drinking now?

i figured a public appology was in order...

pizza party for lunch for risking our lives in the snow storm to come work... love it

 

I, for one, am sick and tired of all the off-topic banter in this thread!

Here are a couple pics of my backyard damage:

Coff. Half a snow day here so I just woke up a couple hours ago. Gotta go in at 12 and the work day ends at 230. What's the point?

 

Suck but maybe you can parlay that into a brewery build or an insurance-assisted half build.

Aww hugs all around.

More iced coffee. Had dipping eggs with my french bread. Yum.

 

Sure. i'll give you some feed back. We can do a little trade on some HB and local favorites. I think I have a few that are ready

 

You mean, I'm "half joking"
Cup of coffee #2 while watching the snow fall at work.

 

My saison, just what I need after digging out, I'm sure I'll be back out there, the roads a mess and I hope the town isn't calling it quits.

 

Okay, I'll try to get something like that set up. I was thinking a quick turn around of sending HB but I can see about shopping in the next two weeks and get back to you. I'm tight on trades these days because I need to have something major replaced in my house. It's costly and it'll suck a lot of cash so I've been laying low on new trades. But we'll see.

Thanks

Water now.

 

Anybody here into bird watching or figure skating?

 

Sounds like fun. :cross:

I rarely enter comps, but I judge a few times a year. Haven't gotten BJCP certified because it seems like a waste of time and money, but that's a rant all it's own. With a beer like yours, your going to have a hard time getting it in the right category. 23 would be the first choice, but when you list it as a 'vanilla bourbon oak porter' everything is going to have to be in balance, yet distinct, you'll need to state if it's a robust (which I'm assuming it is) or brown porter, and the base beer will need to meet it's category guidelines and not be obscured by the adjuncts. Not to mention catch the right judge at the right point in their flight. Which is my long winded way of saying entering beers like this is a crap shoot at best.

I hate those basement window well. Our outdoor spigot is in the basement well and the damn thing leaks. I need to fix it, but I've been putting it off til I replace everything with PEX.

Half day? That sounds like a third day.

Oolong here. Getting some bread finished up and trying to sneak a run in.

 

No, but what are your favorite winter olympic events?

No rush at all. Longer you wait, the more I have HB wise. Just let me know when you can

 

Having a glass of milk. Almost time to bottle my ESB.

 

So can I send you a bottle and get feedback? You don't have to send me anything.

The entires are due end of March I think. I would love to get some hops to do another beer. I don't think my honey hefe is going to make it.

 

Just enter it anyway. I entered a few that I didnt think it will make it but both got 3rd. What do you have to lose?

 

Of course I would. I just like to hear feedback on my beer. I give it away to people I live near and in turn I get crusty and dirty bottles back. I only just realized that despite asking for feedback, that requires interaction and I get the feeling they're not down for that. It's okay, now that I finally get it. Other home brewers are helpful because we all at least understand some of the process. I wasn't saying that I wouldn't enter unless there wasn't 100% positive feedback. I was just looking for feedback.

 

no but, do you like movies about gladiators?

 

I picked the wrong week to quit drinking...

You could always rethink things and if I was in you shoes I probably would!
Thank you for the reminder on the sump pump, some drunk must have tripped over the cord

 

My simcoe'd & Conan black ale aka The Cool.

 

How did that turn out? I did an all simcoe IPA yesterday and not sure what to expect.

 

Heading back from Hill Farmstead and can't wait to get home and destroy their newest ipa!

 

That was an Airplane! quote. Is never actually quit drinking

And now my heater broke down, so I need to run to HD and pray it's only a thermocouple. I'll be drinking for real tonight!

You mean the WNBA?

About to crack a Wake N Bake before attending a meeting on expanding efficiency and reducing costs in the organization while focusing on talent and strengths of teams and individuals in the workplace.

 

Ready for me to drink tonight?

Turned into a full snow day.

Just finished a post-workout shake and will be moving on to beer when the wife and I get back from the grocery store.

 

'Drinking' pho broth

 

F yeah, let's go.

Hope your PWO shake was a beer. Mine sometimes is - but not when I hammer a workout at my work's gym.

I love that place as no one touches weights there - they all run on the treadmill every day and burn all the muscle off of their already skinny-ass bodies.

I am having a cranberry juice before I get going with more beer. Having a bite to eat.

 

I tend to try and pick and choose who I hand bottles to, and when old tried and true recipes, I hand out to coworkers. I have another group of friends/coworkers that I trust to give more in depth responses. Additionally, my homebrew club has proven invaluable.

I am also more than happy to send feedback on bottles. I am also delighted to get feedback on my beer as well.

 

Nope ... wobrien's picked it up. It was a quote from Airplane

 

Dragonmead Final Absolution clone :3

 

Fixed the heater.
Cleaned up the standing water, still trickling in though.
The trees can wait till the snow melts.
Done work.

Having a nugget nectar. No pic because you've seen it before and I'm too tired/lazy.

 

This stuff is so good!
I'm saving the new ipa until tomorrow.

 

You're close, I'm down for that.

 

Moved a lot of beer and snow today, have too many empty fermenters, I need to get brewing!
On to my Mad Elf.

 

Your new avatar is pretty bad ass!

 

Thanks, I want to ride, this weather sucks. I saw this picture today and it puts the two together and looks like a hell of a lot of fun! Probably will stay till the weather breaks.

 

Sure thing. I can fill out a score sheet if you like. I'll send you my info.
