The funk.

Yeah honestly the DEM I did last time, I think pretty much based on yours but tweaked a tad more pale chocolate and less crystal, I absolutely love. Don't even know if it's worth changing :p. Definitely gonna dick around with it though.
 
Don't you know you're supposed to #pourhard?
Ugh....I need a beer. Been 4 days. If I could just keep the nausea away.
Sometime I read no good.
I've been making it 4 pounds at a time in a 3 gallon stock pot, large enough that I'm not concerned about bubbles.


Four pounds starting weight? I assume there is some loss.
Plan on making some, need to get brave but I'm getting there, going to rack a dirty dozen brett onto 8 lbs of mangos tonight:rockin:
 
No, but I'm going to guess it's overpriced for what it is


Well yeah. Most beer is. $8 a bottle. It is 17% though. Someone told me they couldn't detect the pizza at all. I'm picturing them using the frozen square pizza we used to get in school.

Four pounds starting sugar, water boils off almost entirely, end up with ~4.5 pounds of finished invert, minus a tiny bit of syrup left in the kettle that doesn't make it into jars. I forget the math I did to determine it, but it works out pretty consistently with the 45-46ppg sugar extract contribution vs. the 36ppg invert extract contribution. Basically the sugar content stays the whole time, the difference is the tiny bit of water content needed to turn solid sugar cyrstals into syrup (and if done correctly, it stays as a syrup, with darker being thicker than lighter).

Only loss is water. Sugar weight stays the same since it doesn't boil off.

Yesss, fruit that dirty b.

Pass. Randall some DiGiorno's with some Founder's imperial to detect the pizza.

What about throwing some tomatoes in the boil, using bread yeast, and using reallllly old hops?

Seriously, that beer is either a) a fkuk up that they are trying to sell. Or b) want to laugh at hipsters because there's not actually any pizza in it.

It's Evil Twin, so option b.
 
Next pin tapped. Oat Mild. Nom.

Cask > bottle for sure.

#3, Sinamar, and a little chocolate malt. Perfect combo for a nice nearly black color with only a tiny bit of roastiness. All-malt this would be roasty as hell.

Yeah, that actually sounds and looks pretty good. Box up a polypin and send it my way. ;)

What temp do you keep those at? I saw something from US plastics on a thread here and they were like 2 bucks a piece. Thought about buying a few for my next mild brew.

I try and keep them about 55F. They usually end up closer to 60F, which is not ideal, but it is what it is.

And yes, they're dirt cheap and very, very easy. Plus a lot faster than bottling. I get mine from US Plastics for about that price. Use em for a few batches (PBW and Star San in between), and then replace them.

Cool... I'll look into it. Suppose I could condition, chill overnight, then take it out the day before or so to hit that temp.
 
I don't know about you guys, but this is funking hilarious. My kind of prank... easy, no one gets hurt, complete mind ****.

Okay. I actually laughed
Hard enough the 6yo can't to check up on me. Stupid, but appeals to me for some reason.




I do english good. I done grew up in south. Proud :D


Ftfg.





Yeah, need to watch those at some point.

Good to see the Qhrumphf survived and is once again dosing the wisdom of the isles. My Extremely Mild (°TM) was a good start to the night when playing with sharp objects.

Day #3 with ice on the back at the end of the day.

This earlier. Not bad, kinda like a lightly tangy sour belgian dubbel.

Pandora and a book on tap before the young'ns bed time.

This time of year, bedroom with windows open is my thing. Between an overpowered radiator and cold outside, it works out to 53-57F in my bedroom. A) perfect temp for my wife and I B) perfect temp for both cask conditioning as well as my sours.

If I wanted to kill us all, I'd leave the Windows open at night.

Also... Is it just cheesy as **** that iPhones automatically capitalize 'Windows' like I couldn't actually be talking about ****ing Windows in the normal sense, but I'm talking about the OS 24/7?

What a joke.
