A friendly place for friends who drink

[mcbaumannerb]

I don't get it

The powers that be have named this winter storm Jonas.

 

[Genghis]

A favorite of the night. I'd love to find it. It's one to share for sure though.

On your side of the border, Flying Monkeys has distribution in Michigan, Ohio, and New York. At least that was their initial US deal. Not sure if they've expanded beyond that or not.

Their Smashbomb IPA is one of my favourite brews.

Here's one reviewer with his experience.

Drinking some coffee and reading over a comparison of the candidates tax plans. Good. Lord. Sanders is a crazy SOB. Those tax brackets are ridiculous!

 

[BrewinBromanite]

Morning to all. Coffee first and now a stone milk stout for breakfast. [emoji482]. Took off today to oversee shutters being installed in the house, and of course not missing the opportunity to brew a nice hoppy winter pale ale....or something like that.

Come on now, no politics outside the debate threads. Dont want this place becoming unfriendly for anyone.

How in the world did my job get so busy all of a sudden? I haven't had time to come and hang out with the friendly folks.

New project started, it will be balls to the walls for a month or so then settle back out to my normal schedule.

Don't worry, you're not missing any friendly interactions at the moment Super busy lately too, it's kind of awesome.

 

[BGBC]

Wow. Bossy this morning. Anything ELSE I can do for you today?

Super busy lately too, it's kind of awesome.

Hey. At least it was accurate. Tears were drawn 1:1.

I'm just glad you know who isn't abel to run again. That way we don't have to see 15 threads started each day saying pretty much the same thing:
"Did you know (current president) homebrews? He's handing bottles out on the campaign trail. I didn't know this, so I'm assuming no one knows this already and there haven't already been 20 threads about this exact same thing in the past 10 minutes. Although, he has exactly nothing to do with the brewing, bottling, or anything and his kitchen staff takes care of all of it, he's a homebrewer and this makes me feel good and adds legitimacy to my hobby!"

Racist. #reported

Trump is a BIAB'r, no chills and uses glass carboys. Rumor has it, he doesn't even have temp controls... just wraps his carboys in wet towels with box fans pointed at them. Unbelievable.

Psy?

 

[Psylocide]

Psy?

All accurate.

Except his fact-checker missed the part where I transitioned from glass carboys to buckets so I can just dump the hot wort in.

Probably wouldn't work so well on a 10 gal batch though... need to get a fitting on my kettle.

The preferred term is SVB'er

How horrible of you to lump us in with MIAB'ers

Reported for being insensitive to the vesselly challenged among us.

You see what politics can do. It's tearing at the very fabric of the friendly thread if not our strong voile sacs.

Is it even a debate if it's truth? [emoji6]

I don't use his name either. He's worse than Voldemort in my book.

Just get you one of those fancy wands @galvin c keeps trying to push on you.

Psylo is upgrade-talk immune. I'm shocked to hear him speak of a spigot install. Shocked. I think someone may have gotten access to his HBT.

 

[Psylocide]

Yeah, I need it... I'm tired of dumping the wort in the bucket. It's like, super awkward to handle.

Also, if I had a spigot, I'd just open it up and let it drain into the bucket right after flameout... wasn't really an option with the glass carboys, and my autosiphon can't handle those temps, I'm sure.

Stupid hobby anyway.

 

[iijakii]

Yeah, from when he breaks and tries to admit everything, right? I should watch that again.

 

[TheCADJockey]

Burning the living hell out of my mouth on homemade chicken noodle soup. It's so good.. trying to decide whether or not to fight urges and go home after work or go get shirtfaced with my buddies. Feels too good to be a Thursday.

Oh man, I'm so happy you're finally able to admit this. Really, that whole stick swinging thing has gone on long enough.
Oh.....you weren't talking about that hobby were you...
Nevermind

I might brew a session IPA this weekend, despite hating that name. Is Simcoe, Amarillo, and Nelson a strange and/or disgusting combo? How much Nelson is too much? For whirlpool and dry hop additions I'm think of a Simcoe:Amarillo:Nelson ratio of 2:2:1.
