    Who poops at work?

    Why is talking in the men's bathroom acceptable behavior? Not only is it echoing and I can't hear what people are saying, but if I'm peeing at the urinal I literally have my penis in hand and talking to a man at the same time is unsettling. I poop at work all the time. I'm a man now I'm 40 I...

    Best Drunkfood

    Raw onions on a good salad is ok, but I can't think of ANYTHING raw onions are better on that having some caramelized onions do better. Cooked onions are always superior. Anything from am Asian country is good drunk food. Big bowl of pho with all the fixins, some masaman curry with a bunch...

    [SPOILERS] Star Wars - The Force Awakens / Rogue One

    It makes you wonder though if those non-affiliated factions of force users factor into the "balance" of the force. Or because we've only ever been shown the Jedi vs. Sith conflict does that mean they're the only ones who truly matter? I really hope we meet some new force users in 8-9 simply so...

    [SPOILERS] Star Wars - The Force Awakens / Rogue One

    I hope they deal with that concept in the coming movies. Some super old master-stroke by the original Jedi or some Sith Lord who infiltrated the original Jedi to create a prophecy of "The One who will bring balance", or leave out the Sith Lord and the original Jedi masters realized that true...

    [SPOILERS] Star Wars - The Force Awakens / Rogue One

    27ages of discussion so I hope this hasn't been mentioned. Has the idea of Rey being a force baby been discussed? Ala Anakin immaculate conception via midichlorians. I just don't want to think JJ went with Luke being her father, I guess the force-baby route feels contrived as well but I...

    The 2016 Minnesota Mashout has begun

    I would never think 2000 bottles of beer could be sorted in 2 hours. That's astounding to me. Even if everyone properly labeled their entries. How many volunteers were there? Either way, hats off to the volunteers and stewards.

    Has brewing finally jumped the shark?

    I'm gonna use my home state Wisconsin and New Glarus as an example. Little over 4 million people in Wisconsin and we have a ton of little breweries (I have 4 now in my home town of only 60,000 people). So far 2 of the breweries are doing fantastic and 2 of them are too new and we are only...

    HELP STOUT LOVERS. Need Stout Recipe.

    I just finished a sweet stout thats ready for the bottle. The flavor will continue to evolve since its a dark beer but right now, its got a huge bittersweet chocolate character with lots of malty chewiness. 3#Munich 10L 3#Pilsner (I ran out of pale ale malt and didnt want to wait to brew...

    Black ipa help

    I think that belgian candi sugar makes for a good compromise between the two camps (dry vs. Crystal). Since you are already probably going into the 40 SRM range using a super dark candi sugar will give some unfermentable sugars that leave some dark fruit and caramel character without being...

    Black ipa help

    Your amounts of dark roasted grains are probably fine. Though I don't like roasted barley unless I am making a dry stout, I would use more Carafa or replace it with a huskless/de bittered roast malt in lieu of roasted barley. That's just like, my opinion, though so take it with a grain of salt...

    Three Distinct Farmhouse Ales

    You could keep a general theme. I am working on a series of three beers with the same Hefeweizen yeast and the only thing I'm going to change in the grain bill is 50% of the grain bill will be rye, wheat, or oats. (Roggenbier with lots or rye malts and flaked rye, dunkelweizen with wheat malt...

    The 2016 Minnesota Mashout has begun

    Amazingly I have all of those ingredients on hand other than I only have 1214 abbey yeast, I can't remember the dry yeast equivalents. Just got the email over 2,000 bottles of beer, my black IPA is going to be swimming in a sea of entries.

    White IPA Recipe Discussion

    Looks like a lemon, tastes a little like a lime grapefruit cross. It's different than most citrus you've tried. I might cut the sugar by half and use honey instead. The Sichuan thankfully isn't as spicy hot as one would think it's definitely more like a punchier coriander. I hope it...

    White IPA Recipe Discussion

    So with the addition of the white IPA category in the 2015 guidelines I've been curious to give this style a try. I have a good idea on how I want to hop this beer with citra and centennial to get that ripe tropical fruit and grapefruit citrus character. My issue is grain bill, spices/citrus...

    What's your next brew? Why?

    Flanders Red Raspberry Lambic Why? I have a packet of roselare in the fridge, also a starter of Oude tart dregs that soured up nice in a week, also some jolly pumpkin and a cuvée Renee are waiting to have their dregs harvested so I will hopefully start the beer with a massive bacteria pitch...

    The 2016 Minnesota Mashout has begun

    I am looking at doing a series of Belgian beers since I ran out of pale ale malt and only have Pilsner left. What did your enkel recipe look like?

    The 2016 Minnesota Mashout has begun

    Dropping off my three entries tomorrow. I wussed out and didn't enter my weird imperial dark hefe-saison-weizen frankenbeer. I did toss in a entry into British Brown Ale (attempted clone of rogue hazelnut nectar, the hazelnuts isn't come out strong so didn't do clone). Rhubarb strawberry...

    Buying a new Pistol

    I've always been curious how a .22 would perform as a defensive weapon. Most of the idea of "stopping power" is outdated(when it comes to hitting vital/semi-vital areas). Mostly I'd just curious about the effect of follow up shots vs. first shot kill. I would think in a frantic situation...

    Best compliment you've received?

    Made a roggenbier with a recipe of my own design after never having had a roggenbier, entered it into competition and a master judge gave it a 43 (to balance this my other beers did horrible at the same competition). To me right now at my level of brewing is a really high compliment. Not...
