A friendly place for friends who drink

[BGBC]

If I remember right, it was certainly open karaoke on a cruise ship. and that I ruined the rest of her week

So she wasn't your ex at the time, I take it.

That, or you have really bad luck to wind up in the same cruise ship karaoke bar as your ex.

 

[Psylocide]

That's sounds OK. I'm not changing my answer. You still get fried chicken, right?

Yeah... but it's the feet.

RyePA sample, post dryhop. I feel like psy taking all these samples.

Is it infected?! What the esters in my beer?! Should i dump it?! Nah, ill drink it. Maybe not? Is it the hops? Those damn buckets funked the beer, it wasn't me! I quit!!

****. You.

I've never thought any of my beers were infected... save for 1 bottle that had some goofy **** in it, but that was the bottle's fault. Not mine.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Downloaded and played BattleFront till 1:30...once it found a map with anyone else playing. Needless to say..Coffee.

 

[finsfan]

The blame game is strong in this one.

So you're telling me the bottle didn't clean itself well enough? That bastard!

She broke it off with me a few weeks prior, as she was having difficulty keeping all the guys she was banging on the side separate from me. I paid for the damn thing, I was still going.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Are probably trying to offload the recall bottles. Are they charging extra for the pre-aging?

Nope, only 2015 is regular. The others are 13/14. Cost isn't too outrageous, but there's some markup.

Quick poll among friends...Karaoke is:
A: Amazing! I have my own karaoke machine!
B: The 9th circle of hell

A mix of both. I have my own karaoke machine hooked up to the AV system in the garage. My wife and I met at a karaoke bar. We don't do it much anymore, although we did Gong Show Karaoke on the Monsters of Rock Cruise last year. I'm pretty much into singing Zeppelin, Scorpions, Priest, and that sort of stuff. But I really don't have the time for a band at this point in my life.

But, it can be painful to hear people sing bad songs badly.

I sent it to Gavin too... lololol.

Was my cream ale, he said the bottle had some funky growth in it... all the others were good as gold. So, I had sent him two bottles of cream ale, one that I had Coronaized™ and the other was untouched.

He didn't get to try the non-lightstruck version, so it was pretty disappointing.

Points for not having to find the infected bottle yourself haha

I need a vacation.

I agree with this message. Luckily vacation starts next Wed.

Quick poll among friends...Karaoke is:

I don't know if 9th circle of hell is far enough down. Dante clearly never experienced karaoke or there would have been at least one more level...

The only acceptable karaoke is when my daughter and her friends do it, and I am not in the house where it is happening.

 

[BreezyBrew]

My vote: A about 5% of the time. Good/entertaining places can be fun. So, usually it's B... the people are just painful to listen to. I'd rater go somewhere else and listen to live music.

 

[BGBC]

I tried keeping track of the poll results, but lost count immediately. Karaoke is the worst.

Skipped a work team outing for karaoke/bday celebration last night. Went to an earlier dinner at a brewery with the bday boy (bday older man sounds weird) instead.

 

[DisturbdChemist]

More coffee. Need to hit the LHBS for some bottles. Need to brew again, plus need to drink my kegs down.

Feel free to send me some if you need help getting rid of it... I'll send your empty bottles back.

I'll even dump the sours for you.

hey if you want to trade some HB/local goodies I'm down. Got a few sours still in the fermenter. They need to hurry the F up

Yeah... sounds great, as soon as I figure out how to brew again.

Just told the wife about the two ****ed up batches last night and she told me I had better get brewing for the diaper keg then.

'Yes dear.'

Just give them time. Usually time helps. Make sure you do not repeat it next time. I have had a few bad batches but luckily its been rare.

No ****... lol. I've had 3 'bad' batches ever, my first and these 2 that might get better with some age.

Next brew I'm doing a full on swamp cooler with frozen bottles and ****. Never going to make that stupid mistake again. I'm still blaming the plastic though.

Eh, diaper keg? Are we all invited?

Also, another idea for your IIPA. Throw some oak in it, let it age a while longer and start calling it a barleywine.

I mainly used plastic. Only have 2 glass. Must have fermented too high for the fussel alcohols. Any who, I can have beer tomorrow. Want one now though

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Watching some snow fall. Don't feel like working today, but have tons of work to do.

Of course... if anyone from HBT wants to drive/fly to SF, you're welcome to come over.

Well, except for a few that I find extremely annoying.

Yes. The plastic is bad at conducting heat, rendered my standard temp control for the glass carboys worthless. That and I shouldn't have let the temp strip get up to 66°. PKU.



Also, where's @WesleyS

 

[TheCADJockey]

Heh.. friend at work opened his mouth to the wrong person about me, and it got to the head engineer. **** will either hit the fan and roflfunk everyone, or it will get swept under the rug. Either way. The day is mine.

Probably promote you to owner before the day is out.

So you're saying it was a justified stabbing?

 

[TheCADJockey]

Yes. Thanks for understanding.
Then I'll bulldoze the place down and build a couch fort that only cool people can hang out in.

Very.

The Coronaized™ version was really good. (Never knew what it was about Corona I liked, a light lager with some sort of flavor i guess). Psy's was a beefed up skunkier version. Really crisp dry and refreshing.

Next brew I'm doing a full on swamp cooler with frozen bottles and ****. .

I know they are popular but the swamp cooler has always stuck me as a total ball-ache. Plus they take up square footage that could otherwise be used to fit an itty bitty chest freezer + controller. (Sorry to beat that dead horse Psy but it's the best ~$200 you or any homebrewer will ever spend on beer or beer kit)

My next brewing purchase is a chest freezer so I can switch to kegging. Really excited to make that move. Now, is it possible to use the keezer for my draught set-up as well as a ferm chamber? Because if not, then I do not have space in my apartment for both.
