How did your beers manage to get so hot? You live in a frozen wasteland.

Literally the only thing I changed is that I switched from glass fermenters to plastic buckets.

That's it. I kept them 'cool' (or so I thought) the same way as I always did with my glass carboys. Temp strip read between 64-66° at the absolute peak, which is the same as always.

I'm just livid.

That's assuming a lot, I'm way more resilient than my emotions. Unless the weather is anywhere around the same temperature that @psylocide ferments at, in that case I'd likely melt.

If anyone else knows someone who needs things drawed, I'm good at drawing all the things and am putting myself back on the market. Resume & portfolio available upon request.


Most of the CAD folks I worked with in environmental consulting kind of sucked and probably weren't paid well. So that's an option.

Edit: uh, not saying you suck. Just saying the bar is low for entry into that industry.
 
Not to split hairs but it is your manifold that you made from @finsfan 's mother's hoisery. Credit where it is due. Your mash-tun is still made of science albeit not as potent as that contained in a blue pastic one.

Aluminium has less science per gram than blue plastic. To put in science terms. Your mash-tun has a lower coefficient of derp.


This is why I keep coming to HBT - so much valuable knowledge!
 
W00t, NHC application window open, for any of you AHA-aligned, competition-minded folk (or for those of you who actually brew beer, @WesleyS , thermometer-reading ability preferred, but not necessarily required @Psylocide )
 
Quick confession: I bought four thermo strips in June, used two of them through the summer, they stopped sticking, and the other two haven't seen use yet. So, like six batches with zero idea what my ferm temp was at all.
 
Inspired by yes but the medium I work in is bread so is it a pasty? I guess not but I'm happy and fat:DView attachment 334622


Well, now I'm hungry. Going for no carbs this week (including no alcohol). Wish me luck, and more self control! Breakfast and lunch today are so far a success. The no booze thing in the evenings might be tough. I'll just live vicariously through all you alchies this week!

Yes please!

Feckin heck Chef. Those look great.



Love me a good meat pie/pastie. Can't get them here. Australia is the land of meat pies. Miss them terribly from my time there.


We spent two weeks in Australia for our honeymoon, we lived off those things and became quite the conures of them.

This is one of the better NB beers I've had in a while. I could easily crush the 6-pack without a second thought.


Agreed. I've picked up a couple of sixers and it's really a pretty solid beer. Was grooving on NB so much that I thought I'd pick up a variety pack...ranger is still a solid IPA but the rest were so so.
