A friendly place for friends who drink

[TheCADJockey]

Nah, DC is 4'5", 365lbs....not unlike @finsfan 's mom.

On that note... time to go spend too much money on beer. Good luck and drive safe all you people that are getting a dusting of snow.

 

[Qhrumphf]

I have no idea what's going on.

So I'll just post this instead.

Milling grain. I love these simple grain bills.

 

[TheCADJockey]

I seriously could watch it all day

Oh man.. I can get down with some beers and watching curling but that doesn't mean I know what the hell is going on haha. Then again, I could be convinced to watch nearly anything as long as beer is involved.

 

[iijakii]

Just needs 24 hours of aging I'd suggest.

Shoulda made my recipe I guess.

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

Lol at the new snow estimates. 17 to 23 inches for my area. Fun.

My next kegged beer is either going to be a 60 schilling or an ordinary bitter. Based solely on your recommendation. Aaaaaand go!

BIL's marshmallow cream RIS. Even at a year old it's pretty boozy (14%), but it's one of his better efforts.

Oooooh forgot about that option. Good call.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Well sh**. We're on the cusp of the 18-24" and 24-30" range. DC itself (which might as well include me) is expected to get 24" according to NWS. Seems like every time I read the story it changes.

Coffee. Because I can. And delivery dinner. Because we can.

We are in the same boat. sUpposed to get blasted with about 18" or more.

Plenty of beer. Plenty of food in the fridge. No problem.

Just not looking forward to all that shoveling.

Just opened up a big BDSA. Should help.

 

[WesleyS]

Forecast: 0% chance of snow, 100% chance of DGAF.

Curling.

The US women's team is pretty easy watching.

I'm still researching this before I can agree.

Much work needed

It's all about Rachel Homan!

I've got tickets to the championship weekend of this year's Brier Tournament. Going to be a great time.

We're right on the edge of the storm. If it swings a little bit to the north or south, we could get 6", or we could get a dusting. Judging by the weak flurries all afternoon, it's looking like the latter.

Sounds like it might make a nice blend.

A brew buddy is looking for an adapter to connect an IC to his kitchen sink. Need to go from 3/4" female garden hose to 3/8 female NPT. I've found a way to do it in two steps (male GH-to-3/8 female adapter, then a 3/8 nipple), but haven't found a single adapter that makes that step. Anyone have any advice?

It is, having one now, dog walk coming up, might be the last one for a few.

Got a little something headed for the oven, was going to smoke it but was playing Destiny with my son.

Nice little local session IPA

Duchesse De Bourgogne, which he described as "one of the more 'accessible' sours for sour noobs."
.

Definitely not would I would call an accessible sour.

Three schools of thought. There's the completely American ESB that is basically just an American Amber minus the big late hops, lots of crystal malts. There's the American interpretation of an English ESB (based on the few that are exported) that are strong, and again lots of crystal malts and lots of specialty grains and not much for hops. Then there's the actually authentic Strong Bitter, which is usually fairly simple and gets most of the "malt" character from invert sugar, not specialty grains.

So does Fuller's fit into category 2?

Dont think I'll brew this weekend after all, but will get setup I believe. Want to make a Flanders Red and another sour. Brew a double batch and split the wort. What should I do for the second, brosephs?

Dry hopped golden sour.

Just got home. Car washed. Dogs walked. Beer soon.

My bosses boss doesn't want to pay to move my work internet etc to my new place since I'm supposed to be in one location a year before moving. Not like I wanted to have a mold infested apartment with asthmatic children.... Corporate America can kiss my hairy beanbag. I wanna go hang out with this dinosaur

Time for lots of booze

 

[iijakii]

Definitely not.

I need to be proved wrong apparently, but was talking to @finsfan (wherever the funk he is... we showed up together and I'm not leaving this party without him) about my first and only sour experience with Duchesse De Bourgogne, which he described as "one of the more 'accessible' sours for sour noobs."

I thought it tasted like balsamic vinegar, moldy ketchup and Worcestershire sauce.

But yeah, give me a little time to get a few more varieties going and I'd be down.

I love Duchesse! Your opinion is wrong and you should feel bad.

Yes. I believe Fullers may be all malt now, but most English beers (the category 2 ones included) include invert sugar, and derive a lot of flavor from the invert (much like Westvleteren 12 is allegedly 100% base malt and gets its color and flavor from candi syrup). Most American brewers (homebrewers, craft brewers, even people in the know like Jamil Zainasheff) end up doing them all-malt with specialty grains instead.
