Going to brew a few beers this weekend. Dont know yet what to brew..

 

[Zekk]

I recognize people by their avatars. So, who are all you people??

 

[Rhetorik]

My motivation to work has been going down, down, down today. So I've been reading about mash pH, water profiles etc for all grain.

... I'm so confused.

looks like there is a rumor that AB-Inbev is looking to buy Cigar City. I hope not but nothing I can do to stop it lol.

Energy drink before heading back in the lab for some testing.

Vodka redbully?

Not at work lol. Plus i hate vodka. Tasteless

 

[TobyG]

I'd change my avatar, but I can't top this perfection.

I can't change my avatar. Would make it harder for my stalkers to find me.

If I had a dollar for everytime I've heard that rumor, I could outbid ABInbev.

I didnt see that.. Ok never mind. Do not listen to me. Just saw one story and heard before but the attitude of the owner it will not happen.

Goose island said the same thing!

Money talks for example one of the biggest cigar manufacturers said they weren't selling out either and gusse what swisher sweet now Owens them.

 

[finsfan]

More just curious about how they do it in light of the sanitizing thread yesterday.

Just water, dont think its heated. No uv or anything either. They rinse, fill with co2, fill with beer, top with co2, and cap it.

I'm sure Joey, like everybody, has a price. So far, though, this has been rumored several times, and all the bloggers fall all over themselves trying to scoop each other and be the first to post about it. Hasn't happened yet, though, so until CCB announces it, I'll go with the Tampa blog version over the California blog rumor.

A lil DEM on lunch. I feel a bit tipsy. Off of a single sub 4% beer. Cant be right. I think I have a drinking problem. I need to practice and get better.

yeah you do, didnt you make that thing like before thanksgiving?

 

[iijakii]

I did, and then I made another 10 gal because it's 2 gud. This is the final keg and about empty.

 

[iijakii]

Also just tried the Pils and it was still a bit yeasty, so hopefully it changes in another week. Actually, I probably just needed to pull another bit from the keg to clear it. But anyways, had a twang to it that I did not care for. Not sure if it was process or that yeast. We'll see in a few weeks how the Helles with a different lager yeast fares. Probably need to start aerating for lagers.

**** hit the fan at work. Boss on vacation. Time for the little guy to make all the big decisions.
Not sure I'm paid enough to bail them out. Hmm.. what to do.. ?

Same here. I'm the only one capable of working on electronics and I've got some sassy relay logic and an intermittent voltage spike to troubleshoot.

Oh and if I short the wrong connection I'll accidentally sound the building evacuation siren. So its been an interesting day.

Edit: forgot to mention that I'm working off of wiring diagrams from 1977 that haven't been updated. I don't know if its 115vac or 12vdc until I put a meter on it. And by "meter" I mean "finger"... This is the excitement I crave.

In other news, I pulled a sample of my 13 day old Vienna Lager and I think she's ready for the polar plunge. No diacatyl that I can taste, 1.007FG and delicious. I done good.

I'd take that over sitting in this desk for the next 2 hours.

Enjoy the flick.

I sent you no such diagrams and express no warranty as to their accuracy.

 

[TheMadKing]

I can assure you, they are most inaccurate. I don't blame you though, it was a different era.

Was thinking the same thing.

Ba BOOM a zinga!

That's one of my problems today. Sales are trying to take information off a drawing from 2000. The drawing is dreadfully inaccurate. I told them they can't. They don't understand why and want me to "just fix it then", but it is a drawing controlled by an approval agency, so even if I did revise the drawing it would be at the cost of about 6 months and $10k.

So. They are furious with me. Our approval specialist is on vacation. Now they have to be mad at me until the specialist gets back, and reiterates exactly what I told them. Life will go on, all the stress they put me, swept under the rug.

Currently at wits end.

A real man would use his tongue. Or some other protrusion.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

More water while willing this day to end. It's been awfully quiet from @BeerMeDuffMan since he went on his walk. Hope he didn't kill anyone...

Can you say "Yeah, I'll go ahead and update those right away. Just send me written approval from the agency."

Let them spend a month on that and the approvals specialist should be back by then.

Come join the pump world, friend. We wear jeans and nothing's urgent.

Didn't he say he snapped his phone in half? I thought he was mobile most of the time.

That might explain his absence.

I dunno, I'm just a buyer with a penchant for internet detective work.

It's more simple than that... they just don't get it. Approved/controlled drawings can not be touched without consent of the agency, which is only after the specialist writes it up. Simply nothing can be done, at this moment.

Sign me up. About to see if the steakhouse I worked at in college wants the illest dishwasher this side of Lake Erie.

 

[slym2none]

Nice.

BTW. Was there a secret get together recently. A lot of folks here (3 that I've noticed not couting Hunter_LA5 's schizo approach) with new and scary avatars.

I miss the unicorn riding astronaut I have to say. But then I misse dthe 3 lil guys with the straight lines too.

What gives?

Lots of avatar changing last night. Some went back & forth for a while. It was weird.

Oh damn he did. Hope he didn't go Falling Down on his office.
