A friendly place for friends who drink

The last two are so damn funny. I thought I was going to piss myself.

The last one did me in. "He's gonna get through this oneawwww dammit."

Is this why the carbonation calculators ask the temperature of the beer at time of bottling?

Thats one of the things thats always confused me. Not that you need to know the temperature to dial in the target CO2 levels, but the whole warmest temperature thing.

My saisons get a bit past 90F, but I bring them down to room temps (around 66 this time of year) for a number of days before bottling. Ive always just used 66 in the calculators cause if I use 90F, it seems to drastically affect the amount of sugar it tells me to add. I havent changed what ive been doing since it seems to be working fine

Is the beer like slowly equalizing back at 66 or something?

I'd imagine so, if there's any yeast activity at all they're producing CO2.

'He played it just right! What incredible instincts to crawl away from the goal like that!'

I get that, but it's not relaxing when you are healing your body.



I gave them up once I found out they were high in cholesterol.

Water, soup and listening in to results. I know he'll hold out talk on bonus until the end since everyone will tune out. At least I finally boxed up the two trades this morning - will drop them off in a bit. You should have a good weekend @BeerMeDuffMan !

WhoooHooo! Awesome man, thanks!
I have one heading out myself today.
Just spent 60 bucks on SMS at 5 bucks a bottle :/

Gavin, I ignore most of what he says about brewing and well, everything else. Most barely makes sense, can't imagine reading one of those books.

I try to ignore it too. I am usually successful in that but not that time I guess.

Anyone ever get some degree of carbonation in the fermentor? I have a brett saison sitting at 0.996 thats about ready to bottle. The sample I pulled yesterday felt like it was slightly carbonated. Saw bubbles fizzing up in the sample tube too

You'll always get some. How much is dictated by Henry's law. Good ol' Henry.

Maximum temperature and the pressure in the vessel are the factors in play.

Lowest pressure while at the warmest temperature assuming fermentation is complete.

"They brought him a chair. Brilliant move by the manager!"

An inspired tactical move.

Great video. Pawn posted it in another thread if I recall.

You've got curly white hair on your jeans. Dog or elderly relative's/ coworker's most likely.

Is the dog doing anything gif-worthy?

I'm no Sherlock Holmes, but if my deductive powers are working correctly I'd say @finsfan 's mom is over. Netflix + alcohol + white curly hair on his pants + look of jealousy and sadness on dog's face.

Suns out. Nice quick walk. Tweaked knee preventing myself from taking a spill on some black ice. I give up on life today.

Sitting in the Min/St Paul airport having a burger and a beer waiting for my connecting flight to Atlanta. Cheers to any twin cities folks!

Only a few more hours until beer time! Look at the positives! And I still haven't been in Parkside despite driving past it so many damn times. Planning a trip there some day soon.

More running around town, hoping to get out on time today.

Pow!!!

Don't do anything interesting for a while. I have a few things that need to get done today and I'm procrastinating so far.

Definitely dag hair. He rubbed up against me... dude is worse than a cat.

No worries, we haven't done anything interesting yet today.

Sometimes you just can't help scratch that itch though.

Damn dude... keep fighting the good fight, lol.

Damn dude...

Hey. Just so you know.

Waiting outside the hbs to open. Its in a not so good part of town. Seen some interesting people walk by.

Hey, you don't achieve that coveted Amazon sales rank of 1,822,378 by being a terrible author...

This made me appreciate everything you do for us @gavincience

Just gelatined the Helles. All your fault, Gavin. Cant wait to post a liter of it in my Hofbrau mug in your recipe thread, tell you that. Also, gelatine stinks. Never touched the stuff before.

On the topic of actually brewing beer (yes, I am going to brew beer...shocking) if I rush my beer to be ready for St. Patrick's Day, what besides whilfloc can I do to clear this stuff quickly? Cold crashing is out, as I will only have 7 days of total fermenter time, and I'm not bringing the temps down below active yeast temps for any part of that 7 days.

You bottle, right? Chuck it all in the fridge on 3/12. I've seen massive differences in clarity from 1 day to three days in the fridge.

Also I don't give a flip about clarity so ask someone who does.
