Alright the real reason I'm reminiscent of Germany today, one of wife's relatives passed away. Remembering her by drinking pils from one of the two fantastic steins she gave me:

Sorry to hear about the death in the family. Also dissapointing to hear about your invert. I've never made it.

It's really kinda hard to screw up unless you burn it...

Had a Hopslam earlier playing with one of the new cigar molds I got today. Now a little ps4 and some bourbon to wind down now that these are put to rest a bit.

I'd love to have a go at rolling cigars. Looks like a lot of fun. Those look great. I don't somke cigars.

Foam roller.

Hey, care to share your altbier recipe?

@Psylocide beat me to it. It's in the recipe tab under my avatar

Science: I had this conversation in the "real brewing" sections of this forum before but wondered what you buttholes think. As I have not time for a starter now, I'm thinking of using US-05 for my brew tomorrow. I always struggle with this concept. If I make a starter, I go to the yeast pitch calculators, which tell me that even for an OG 1.050 beer, I should be pitching around 195 billion cells for a 5 - 5.5 gallon batch. Now, I read that the dry yeast packs (at least US-05) has 6 Billion cells per gram. The packet is 11.5 grams. They say one packet of yeast is adequate for beers of this size, but that is only 70 Billion cells. By my math, and doing things the way I would when I make a starter, I need about 2.5 packets even for a beer of OG 1.050. Why am I wrong in my thinking?

Cell counts on dry yeasts vary widely depending on who you listen to. I don't know what the right answer is and have wondered about this myself. I have yet to learn of a good clear explanation.

Anecdotally.

For 5.5 gallons at ~1.05 OG 1 pack has never presented any problems for me.

Pics pending...I have to wait for my bosses to flee the scene before I start filming porn.

Condolences on the loss @iijakii

That being said, I wonder if he didn't prematurely dump it... I can imagine boiled down sugar tastes a little like caramelized death, but can't confirm. @Qhrumphf keeps talking about his oat mild and now I probably have to make some invert too eventually. What a jerk.

I learned something today. Canadian's are capable of doing some dastardly stuff. I never would of thought that possible until this story.

His brother must be 'murican. I'd slap the **** out of my brother in that situation. However, he doesn't have kids and lives hundreds of miles away, so it's different.

Drinking some cold coffee. Hope today flies by.

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

See? The coffee he sent to me smells outstanding. I will put my body through some irreparable damage this weekend. Might have peach bu for lunch

LOL

Love that gif.

I'm going to pretend the cat is mispronouncing feck (the gentle Irish way to curse) rendering it a much happier, not-against-the-profanity-rules-cat.

Hope things work out for your brother and his family.

I think we all assumed a dry pack has 200 billion cells, but I see now that fermentis does list it at 6E9 cells/g. So yes, very interesting I wonder if they changed the formulation somehow? Or maybe Jamil is just full of chit.

Maybe someone who read the Yeast book can enlighten us.

That said, I recently used a pack of US-05 on a 1.050 beer and had no problems.

Looks like I missed some drama. @Rhetorik good job being the good brother. I hope they do get some counseling and work it out.

Drinking chai. Today's a half day. I'm gonna bottle up the session IPA and maybe hit up crooked stave.

You guys think you're badass? Did you murder two people, attempt to murder eight more, and then threaten the military...before your 2nd birthday? No? Then sit down...

My crooked stave lunch plans have been shelved until Monday...stupid meeting with the CEO this afternoon...

But she is out of town all next week. If I knew how to make a cat GIF i'd have one playing with beer inserted here.

Nooooooo!
