This mornings Catch-All... I'm plugging away on a massive report and look up to see this guy headed straight for my office. He comes in and say "I was looking for something in my sent emails folder, sorted it by date, found it, then went back to look for it again a few minutes later and its...

Very interesting. Good info. Thx. The Dingemans website does mention that their pilsen malt is made from their selection of the finest European 2 row, so in essence, admitting it isn't from the same single crop every year.

The example of moving the stock around wasn't really related to the question. Its just something that lead me to the question "is it possible we get sold the wrong malts?" (Either by mistake or on purpose). This company typically has very good customer service, which is why I decided to keep...

I see the ridiculous purchase price is proportional to their ridiculous beer prices.

So when buying specific malts by the pound in unmarked packaging, how often do you all think we actually get what we ordered? I went to a fairly prominent online vendor the other day looking for Dingemans pils malt. Their website said they were out of stock. I shot them an email inquiring...

We just had harvest season for most of the American varieties, so those are in high demand as fresh hops. Give it a few months and you'll gradually see lower prices on all of them.

that makes me cringe. lazy people love to use & abuse a catch all.

Supervisor just comes into my office and says: "I'm going to give you this document, because I just don't know who it goes to" Epitome of the catch-all mentality. I felt like saying, when I turn in my 2 week notice next week, you are going to Catch-All of my work.

I doubt somebody's arbitrary beer ratings are going to give you much intel about their yeast pitching practices. Not at all. This is where the QC lab comes into play. Doing accurate cell counts & determining healthy yeast or not, along with measuring DO, diacetyl, etc are what makes...

Parkway Brewing, in VA, uses dry US-05. But for a commercial brewery, with a proper laboratory, you really aren't buying new yeast very often, so its very rare you would be pitching dry yeast.

LOL. Can relate. Last time I was out: Me: Can I see an updated tap list? Server: That is the updated tap list (points to our table). Me: Ok, i'll have this saison Server: We are actually out of it. Me: :mad: Server: If I may suggest something, Dales pale ale is "quite fantastic". Me: :(...

What my workplace specializes in. Here is something I'd like to teach them about, in regards to what we specialize in:

its hard for me to get worked up about something like this anymore. I get fed misinformation by bartenders and servers almost every time I am out now. I never correct them. Just par for the course.

The 2 methods produce completely different results. Don't understand the necessity to even compare them. Now, sour mash vs Kettle sour, I can understand.

If I woke up every morning and knitted the same pair of socks all day long, I would be the greatest knitter of that pair of socks the world had ever seen. I would also be so bored with my life I'd be on suicide watch.

This. I only pay retail prices for beer that is fantastic. I'd never pay money for crap beer considering I can make crap beer at my house for a fraction of the cost.

best part was when the ref signaled for a goal kick and Old Trafford cheered because they thought he was pointing at the penalty spot. :D

people are so defensive these days I'd probably just chalk it up as a crappy brewery and not go there again.

I put a bazooka tube in my boil kettle and it has helped some.

I'm usually not crazy about the movie replica masks, but this one dude had the Michael Myers mask/hair, with the full insane asylum jump suit and just stood there in peoples yards staring at the house while his kids trick or treated. Never said a word to anyone. It was super creepy...
