A friendly place for friends who drink

[mcbaumannerb]

Off home.

No work tomorrow.

Beer soon.

Huzzah!

Hey - whatever happened to that gif you were working on? Not enough science behind it to bother finishing it?!

 

[finsfan]

Thanks cad! Your saison isnt quite settled yet. Plus some is leaking out. Looks like the bottle is slowly melting. How acidic is it?!

Man I don't know. I don't have those fancy refractophometer things like @gavincrofltag has. You might as well just pour it in a bowl for your cats. That's one ugly coozy bud.

 

[Brizzo]

Off to gym. One more dry night. Sucks. NEED BEER.

These dry weeks at least convince me that I either am or am not an alcoholic, can't figure out which

+1 dude- I hit gym hard every morning and y'all alcoholics make me want a beer every night which is not a good thing for my training regiment

 

[Fedora]

Twelve oz. curls.

It's called compromise.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

@TheCADjockey - you can do good things with nugget. If you've never tried this, let me know and I can hook you up.

Being sick sucks ass, I wanna drink one but it would be a waste. That your first time for Flower Power?

Yeah, I'm not a fan of their new labels. I think they were brainwashed by some marketing wonks.

I'm not too sure how much nugget is actually in that one... Tastes too good to have a significant amount.

I love NN, speaking of. I need to set something up for some.

Well get your nasty ass feeling better soon and you can have one. And no ive had a handful of flower powers probably. Always good!

That is a great brew. My local watering hole always has it on tap.

Before I had a kid, I was sick like... 5 times ever.

After? Every 6 months.

Sucks man. Worth it, but really sucks hard.

Yeah I've heard good things, excited for it.

I use a Hach Pro+

Both it and the Miliawakee mention by Qhrumphf pass all the selection criteria given by the folks in the know

• 2 point calibration
• Manual calibration (you decide not the device when to grap the calibration pt.)
• Replacable electrode
• Reading stability
• Resolution 0.01
• Accuracy +/-0.01 (Not quite true as accuracy is typically measured in RMS values)

All pH meters adjust for temperature. Temperature is one of the factors which affects pH and the device can't spit out a pH value without measuring the sample temperature. All ATC means is that it will give the pH at a given temperature. It's like saying my car came with an engine.

Typically pH readings should be recorded and compared at room temperature. That is the convention but it is not followed by all authors.

Temperature extremes are not good for a pH meter's probe. Best to cool the little sample for sake of probe longevity and reproducibility of data.

My meter, buffer pillows and cleaning soln. (don't need storage soln with the Hach Pro+)

I swear it's not my fault. Fins keeps goading me in.

Interesting that you don't need storage solution. I'll have to look into that.

 

[iijakii]

Don't a lot of meters recommend just a drop or two of liquid in the cap to keep it a bit humid, but that you don't want it submerged as it shortens the probe's lifespan?

 

[banesong]

Feeling sad I got left out of the mass mentioning. I guess I need to slink back to the old thread to be really friendly again.

After today, a liter of my mild, followed by a Texan brew. Thanks Clint!

Yeah, looks like a kid drew it. Not impressed.

Speaking of trades anyone have some Pliny that they want to trade for a heady topper?

No, but I'd totally be ok with you just sending me some Heady Topper :fro:

Ouch. Core. Bag, jump ropes, box jumps. Definitely making the bag a regular thing. Might pull a @Psylocide and get into combat sports. My "swing blindly with a steel toed boot and throw wildy aimless punches" style of fighting works well enough when my opponent is drunk and we outnumber him 5 to 1, but uhh...I need to learn. Always wanted to try krav maga. Plus a buddy is a pro jiu jitsu fighter (in that "technically gets paid" but very much undercard in local bouts, but he's a decent record) I'd love to be able to drop him if I wanted :rockin:

Maybe you're just a Mild alchy?

Hb ipa #2 almost finished. I agree that those Troegs labels are hidious. The last nugget nectar I had was one that was almost a year old that I returned the 6er to the store for a refund. I love that beer when it's fresh, but old and overpriced makes me unfriendly.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Seltzer water. Sucks. Less ABV than my 60/-, and that's impressive.

You're not cross fitting r u?

 

[Qhrumphf]

You're not cross fitting r u?

Nope. Not in good enough shape yet. But getting there. I'd probably enjoy it, being all competitive and whatnot.
