A friendly place for friends who drink

Mine forgets how to dog when she sleeps. Always awkward. Usually eyes half open and snoring:

 

[Qhrumphf]

@Qhrumphf How far did you go?? I get bloody toes and black nails if I don't keep my nails trimmed or if my shoes are too small/tight. Only chafed nips once in a cold half marathon.

Only 5 miles. I've done that before without issue, so I think it was more the particular shirt than anything else. My feet were just fine.

Shortish workday, huzzah. Home nice and early.

A little Gordon Biersch. Solid, as most TJ's house brand beers are.

I see you played into the stereotype...
Chesty or Winston?

Her name is Roxie. She is my baby.

What are you brewing this time around?

Decoction hopped Raw ale?

Doing a 3 minute no crush, no boil, no chill, decoction puke beer. I anticipate it being a no drink beer too, saving even more time.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Not current, but it is what it is.

This bastard survived a lot (he was rescued, found swimming in New Orleans after Katrina as a puppy), but was finally put down last year. RIP.

Maybe he was just critiquing what you were watching/listening to?







Awesome. Monkey GIFs are so much more entertaining than sheep.

UPS came earlier today! Now I have the necessary adjuncts to do a batch of KBS, perhaps in a couple of weeks (after I brew my lambeec)

My taste is impeccable. Not sure what his deal is.

Here the goofball himself. Five now, probably. Rescue mystery dogs ftw. He's on the right.

I'm ordering that Sumatra today, among others. I won't be buying Kona, probably ever. The Brazilian looks good too though.

I hate to ask... But have you thought about just measuring out your grains and throwing them in the garbage?

Could probably be done in 2 min? I'm sure you've scienced this plenty though.

You're the expert.

Just make sure not to ferment in plastic buckets and it'll turn out alright.

You could've just said lager, we'd have known what you were talking about.

 

[Hello]

What's the game?

Glad you were home, that could have been bad, just goes to show you that you should kill the water, power and gas each time you leave the house

LOL I went through about three lines of creepy answers before I settled on shutting my mouth.

Drinking Pepsi. Not a fan but that's all they had at Panda Express. Fatter.
Smoking bacon. Quite excited.

No. NEEDS MORE SCIENCE!

Friends talk about stuff. It's in the thread title.

 

[BUCKNUTS]

@bucknuts I think I questioned your clean/sour gear "obsession" when you mentioned you had different brewing equipment for sours. I was thinking you meant actual brew day equipment (mash tun, boil kettle, etc). If you only meant hoses, wine thief, carboys, bottling buckets, then I understand and do the same thing. If I had extra rooms, I'd do the same thing you are.

Coff and water.

I only have separate gear on the cold side everything hot side is the same.

I think it's a great idea separating things like that. My only question is this.

Wouldn't it be best to store your lacto encrusted, dusty mill in the infected room. This would seem to be a potential vector of infection in your clean room.

Nit-picking for sure but for someone with separate rooms dedicated to clean/sour beers my guess is you're the kind of person something like that might bother.

That is a good point that I had not considered. I would never grind my grain in there for that very reason. I moved it to the garage.

Still cant see your gifs today CAD. This makes me sad. Mobile and Desktop version, no CAD gifs.

I know. I was deflecting emotions via humour. Truly, sorry for your loss. Kitties and doggies are the best, and as a result, the worst to lose.

Same difference.

Don't be ridiculous.

I ate Chipotle today for the first time since their e coli outbreak. As such, I feel obligated to leave my Last Will and Testament in relations to beer before my health takes a turn for the worse. My Beer-state is assigned as follows:

DC: you are responsible for all fermenting sours, this includes the two barrels I have. I trust your judgement (more than these other fools), dont screw them up!

CAD: you receive all clean beers fermenting and in bottles. Leave behind anything that isnt to your tastes (bone-dry)

Psy: Take the damn equipment and shut the hell up about never upgrading. You're welcome, you now have temp control. No excuses!

Chef: you get all HB and commercial sours. No bad things to say about you.

Gaving: I have three bottles of Oktoberfest left with your name on them. Dont scoff too much when you drink them or I will haunt you every time you science.

All remaining beers should be poured on my grave, one per day, so I can at least enjoy the afterlife.

To everyone else, sorry bout your luck.

Officially official,
Finsfan

Cheers!

 

[Qhrumphf]

There's wild stuff floating all throughout the air. Aside from separate plastic gear, I don't worry about it. Mill is stored on the same shelving unit as all my fermenters and clean bottling gear. I've gotten exactly one infection, ever, and that was getting overzealous and rushing it harvesting from a bottle. For all I know, the wild organism (wild sacch by my guess, flavor wasn't unlike a Hefe strain) may have already been in the beer I was culturing from.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Don't be ridiculous.

It's just semantics. Potato, tomato...

You're now dead to me. I'll drink that Reserve on your grave!

As the nearest friendly friend, I can execute your estate. Send everything to me and I'll work it out.

I'll allow that as long as you pour a little out for me. I was pumped about trying that.

I don't know what any of this means. Can I just have that queer purple t-shirt you posted a pic of the other day? I long to feel so fabulous.
