I hope I'm not the only person that shamelessly drinks the contents of their gravity testing tubes.... 🤣

I'll get in on 2021 if all this COVID madness is over in time!

Yep! You should totally get a little extra vanilla custard for puffing on. It' sooooo good! https://www.pipesandcigars.com/p/sutliff-vanilla-custard-pipe-tobacco/1472588/ I named it Derangement for a reason! In addition to only 40ish% base malt, there's like ghost peppers and tobacco and...

Update. After 2 weeks of aging, the pepper hotness is noticeably calmed down. I still think I want to leave the pepper reduction that I made to the original recipe, but I'm betting that it will come out just about perfect. Guys, I gotta say, I'm a stout snob, and I'm happy with this recipe...

Congrats!

Wait... that sounded wrong... yknow what.. nevermind lol

Thanks. Rabbit holes are my thing.

Obviously I'm just learning about this, but question. So by the time your water has reached strike temp, you're pretty sure all the bread yeast is dead, so there's 0 chance it can start eating things while you're mashing? Reading that bread yeast dies at 140. Do you wait a few minutes at temp...

Learn something every day! Had no idea oxygen was bad to have in mash. Thanks!

Forgive my ignorance if this is a stupid question, but don't we want oxygen at this stage for pitching yeast? Like.. I intentionally add it. :)

This pretty well describes my pre-to-post Corona lockdown transition...

Gotta echo the SB kudos. I love my Spike+ brew kettle with tri-clamps probably more than I should. Can't wait till it's time to upgrade! Always had good customer service experiences as well. Recommended.

Me too! Love it!!

Kegged and sampled today. I think flavors are good, except for too much pepper. I may cut the ghost pepper bourbon tincture down both in volume and intensity. I suppose it may mellow out a bit over the next month while it sits too. I'm going to make a 2nd run of this in the next few days to...

Transferred to secondary and added all those crazy adjuncts! Gravity is where I expected based on OG. Tried a little sip. I think this is a good grain bill to work from. It’s gonna sit for a week with all the adjuncts and then will closed transfer to a keg for another month of aging. Can’t wait...

Pro tip - My ******* accidentally touched a 425 oven rack. Immediately dunked the finger in a cup of apple cider vinegar and held it in there for like 20 mins. No pain, no real blister. It’s magic.

I’m realizing everything I need to know about life I learned from the Metallica black album.. 😁

Yes! Nice! One thing that is always true about technology is that we all stand upon the shoulders of those who came before us! /respect 🙂

Cheers!! 😁

Since I can’t go to bars anymore, y’all will have to be my drinking buddies tonight. I passed my AWS certified solutions architect exam today! 😁 Somebody raise a glass with me! Cheers!
