My other hobby:

Meat is murder. Tasty, tasty murder.

Sockeye or Walleye if I remember right. Tipped at 55lbs.

Ugh...seems ridiculous to charge for a single-platform version. Been debating whether its worth risking dropping my iPad while brewing over having BA available on it.

Not my own, but my ma caught this bad boy on the Smith River near Oregon last month. :o

Yep-that's what has me interested at this point: whether or not a somewhat lower ABV barleywine with a standard metal cap can stand up to a higher ABV that was corked. 1 of each currently chilling, planning on Saturday night for la degustación final!

Interestingly enough, I got the attention of the SA Facebook moderators asking for tasting notes. I also just re-read that flyer & noticed that it was cork-preserved... :/

Wondering if the Crusty has held up over time. It was found in a fairly stable cellar, around 60F year-round, so I'll possibly try it out this weekend. The Sam Adams probably fared better considering that whopping 17.5% ABV... And here's a scan of the article:

Had to brag about this one: so my dad & step-mom moved into a new house about a year ago. Apparently, along with a few bottles of extremely well-aged wines, they found these bad boys and gifted them to me today! 1993 Rogue-XS Old Crustacean Barleywine (2 bottles) 1994 Sam Adams Triple Bock (3...

Got a 8-gallon conical fermenter from my uncle!

Admit it: the holidays wouldn't be the same without some epic holiday muzak, would they? Divvy up yer favorites: Mannheim Steamroller - Stille Nacht - YouTube Christmas Collection: Nat King cole - The Christmas song! - YouTube

Who cares about hair in various places when your hand is ready to fall off?! Futs: I salute thee and thine balls of steel.

Stealing for Facebook purposes. Gracias. :D

Never had one myself. :) *goes off to pray the Beer Godz didn't hear that*

Sweaters & vests are always in style.

The only 2 times I've brewed sober, I have: -Accidentally disconnected my transfer tube in the middle of transferring a Belgian Saison to secondary -Broke my thermometer (with the little black pellet thingies) into my entire batch of cooling imperial stout Consuming beer + brewing more beer =...

And I thought my kitteh was fat.

I only recognize the Rochefort & the St. Bernardus...think I need to brush up on my brewery know-how.... Happy birthday, by the way! :mug:

MFL: Barb: It's mostly a preference thing. I've found that MFL's are a pain to disconnect if your keg system (for me, kegerator) is cramped for space and you have to swivel the entire line in order to disconnect it. For me, it's just easier to use barb fittings with screw clamps & call it good.

For your question about cold kegging, you're right that cold brew absorbs CO2 faster than room temp. As long as you keep it under pressure, the likelihood of something nasty getting into your beer is fairly slim (unless you're a complete slob and don't clean/sanitize your beer lines between...
