A friendly place for friends who drink

Will listen for beer.

I got plenty of infections I can share!!

French press. Doctor appointment later to check out this lump on my back. If he removes it I'll snap a pic and show yall.

Hang on doc, my internet friends have GOT to see this!

Just had to turn down a free iPhone 6. Being nice doesn't get you cool stuff. I should probably start spending my karma before it maxes out, not sure how much carries over from the previous year.

Pretty much!

I'm not following, did you get an email from @WesleyS offering a free iPhone?

He just signed over a bunch of money to some broad, so it wouldn't surprise me.

You are visiting the doctor too much but I have to see if he does remove it. Hope its nothing.

But good karma provides +1 Charisma and +15% XP, so there's that.

Nah. A friend got one from work, so he offered me his which was brand new. Turned it down and gave him contact info for someone I know that is in dire need of a new phone and is broke. etc. @wesleys

Doc removed a lump years ago from my back. He was really intrigued with its color and density. He was shocked when I saw it and told him that it was probably welding slag that I did not think went down my shirt at the time. I thought it got caught between my shirt and coveralls...

I know but my deity only allows so much positive alignment before I'm automatically converted.

Hey so, random question, is +100% "apparent" attenuation possible? cause my hydrometer is calibrated and hasn't given me issues before. I figure maybe that's what the "apparent" means?

Its possible with sour bacteria or wine yeast on simple sugars. Ive gotten close to 100% with the belle saison yeast though too. I imagine its possible in the right conditions with sacch. What was the beer?

The brett tripel i bottled last night had 98.8% attenuation from a starting point of 1.086

im guessing itll be coming from Gavin...fin seems to be the only one that actually brews around here, and Gavins tasked with answering all his questions in between irreverent gifs

My last couple saisons have gotten from 1.050ish to a few points below 1.000.

the one i measured last night was 1.052 to 0.998, using a blend of 2 sacch yeasts. it like broke the online calculator i use. guess its time to look for a new one

I know this kind of fun. Firing exercises had a chopper above us simulating an extraction. They were firing blanks maybe 30-40 feet over my head...funny thing about blanks, they still get heated up when discharged and still cause blisters when they roll down your back at a cyclic rate of around 750 RPM
My neck and back looked like I was whipped for hours and hours lol

Uhhh.....rly? This happened?

Seriously though, I would think it'd be difficult to hit 100% without using Brett or sour bugs, or by mashing really low and adding a high percentage of simple sugars.

it is possible. Mead did this for me all the time.

Ok I'll bite.

Yes it's possible and apparent attenutaion can actually exceed 100%. Totally normal with dry meads, wines, cider for the AA to exceed 100%. (FG drops below 1.000)

Just play with this equation and you'll see

[(OG-FG)/(OG-1)] x 100= apparent attenuation.

Actual attentuation will not of course. The yeast can't eat any more fermentables than are actually present.

 

[TheCADJockey]

[(OG-FG)/(OG-1)] x 100= apparent attenuation.

 

[m00ps]

mmk so 104% apparent attenuation, 85% actual

one of these days, im gonna make something so dry there wont be any liquid left in the carboy to take a sample

@WesleyS and @beermeduffman are the only ones in here that don't brew any more.

I happen to have a wife and a kid, so I only get to brew ~2 times a month.

But we all answer plenty of questions... it's like a giant think-tank with an affinity for stupid gifs.

Lol no kidding. Maxing out the deductible in January!

It's nothing serious. Just a fatty lump about the size of a small egg right at my waist line. Should be cool to see it if he does remove it.
