A friendly place for friends who drink

Here's a QOTD: What beer style have you really wanted to brew, but have been afraid to, for whatever reason (lack of equipment, long process, expense, etc.)?

IPA. All those hops. Eww

 

[BreezyBrew]

QODT: Belgian Dubbel. Which I am brewing next brew day. The recipe is coming from Gordon Strong's book.

 

[Psylocide]

QOTD: I keep putting off brewing an RIS. Just, can't find the motivation to brew something that I know won't be ready to drink for a while.

So, just impatience on that front.

Brett beers. Even though I'm pretty diligent in my sanitation, I'd rather not taint my equipment, and I'm too cheap to buy a dedicated set of fermenting and bottling equipment just for Brett beers.

Baseball sucks.

There I said it.

Liked playing it I suppose. But only cause I'm a competitor at heart. Watching live can be decent depending on who you're with. Tv? No. Just no.

Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad.

Go Jays!

I enjoy watching it if I'm actually physically AT the game. Beer and overpriced hotdogs help enchance the experience. Playing, sure I guess, though I'm not very good.

Watching on TV?I'll be asleep within five minutes.

So do I have all four of the winners here yet?

Intermittently here. At work, and all that.

Anything that takes a long time, especially sours. I love to drink them, but I'm too much of an alcoholic to have to wait that long. I'll just go buy it.

I am around, ish.

QOTD - Kettle sour beers. I have done ciders, big beers, small beers and even long term sours (Flanders, Lambic, etc). Kettle sours kind of scrrrr me for some reason.

This was ****ing funny.

poking the moderators via PM

Dang, did they incorporate this into hbt? Ugh. Lamest thing FB ever had.

But seriously, we are (most of us anyways) sorry for the disturbance in the force. We won't let ourselves be tempted by the dark side again. Right guys and gals?

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

Ok, let's play now if you four are all ok. Can we get the audience to hold their comments and applause until the end?
Let me know when you are ready gang and I'll ask the first question. I have a total of 5 questions, all from the movie, A New Hope. First person to answer correctly wins that question. Best out of five wins the game.

Not funny, not needed, not appreciated, not friendly.

Q's OTD - have not really done a Belgian, I would like to. Like a strong quad or something cool like that.

I have not had a real "fancy" whiskey. Probably like the $49 Jack Daniels is about the best I've had. I like Woodford Reserve and Bulleit Rye a lot. Nice to pour a shot and sip on it. I don't do really cocktails any more, I stick to beer and occasional glass of wine. Got a fresh bottle of Makers Mark at home. Wife wanted a hot toddy when she was sick. Maybe I'll have one tonight.

 

[Helly]

I'm ready.

 

[dad23ds]

ready but my refresh game is lacking.

QOTD: Scotch ale. Not enough burners for a proper decoction.

There is no such thing needed for a good Scotch ale. The secret is a barleywine style mash (~149F for 90-120 minutes with a mashout of 168F water) and a 2 hour full rolling boil. All this decoction nonsense was from a time period where it was more expensive and harder to get a full rolling boil at scale. Since they were basically at a simmering boil, they had to boil longer and used tricks like boiling down some first runnings to get some maillard reactions. With a full rolling boil, you get that in less time.

My answer is lagers in general. I haven't had the time or patience to dig into them. Or maybe meads.

Gotcha.

In that case I'm ready to fight for second-to-last place.
