hah, totally meant cooking. Woops.

Ha, I totally missed that. There are a few, but I can't vouch for any of them.
Super helpful, I know.

With coffee malt? A porter with coffee malt would be great right now for sure. If I had a porter right now, I'd hope it was made with coffee malt.

I bet I'd like actual coffee in it better.

Ermegerd that would be amazing with Nugget at 60m. Make with the saison!

That would be a great cheesy hop to incorporate.

Cheesy hops are never good. Nor are cat piss hops.

If your hops are cheesy, you either aged em too long, didn't age em enough, or didn't age em right. Me personally, I won't bother with aged hops. I just do a very small addition of very low alpha noble hops at the very end of the boil.

If I have to judge one more cheesy sour beer at a comp...

Putting "cheese beer" in the Con column of my pro/con list for BJCP.

The "pro" list is just "free beer". That's it.

Unless we're talking about a HH saison. With HH, more cheese is better good.

Most of the time I get cheesy sours at comps, they're badly sour mashed Berliner Weisse. Which is that lovely isovaleric/butyric acid combo of rotten parmesan and vomit. Usually the cheesy hop problem isn't quite as pronounced. A fault, but not an undrinkable fault. But bad sour mashes will usually get the worst scores I've given (only time I've ever gone as far as the courtesy score).

If you say "saison" 3 times @iijakii gets tossed out of the thread until a new cat gif breaks the spell

Didn't know they were canning that now. I've only had it in bombers.

Quick question. For a five gallon batch what do you think the average PSI going through the Airlock/Blow off tube would be?

I have a senior design class asking and I have never worried with such info.

Probably not much. I'd say <2-3 PSI, probably well below that.

Thanks, they are working on a controller and have a presentation and wanted a number.

I bought aged hops for a sour, smelt them and couldn't bring myself to do it.
If I'm spending a year on a beer I sure as hell don't want it to smell like that.
Long ass day over, probably a short night.

My numbers are based on homebrew-level conicals being able to withstand 3 PSI, maybe 5 max. It's probably well below that actually produced unless the fermenter is actually sealed. Commercial unitanks can withstand higher than that when used for spunding.

What's the diameter of the tube? That's going to affect the pressure but I'm sure it's not much.

Whoa, we're smelting hops now? I can't PKU with all this science.

It's a high temp hop decoction. PKU

Touché.

Why should I not turn a 15 gal sanke keg into a bottom drain mash tun?
Anything I am missing besides no direct firing?

Catching up on the days missed posts so I am not sorry if I miss something or post something someone else does.

Coffee.

I've been watching HBOGo on my Amazon FireTV stick for the past 4-5 days. I noticed this weekend that after watching a good 5 episodes of something that I will get a lot of "buffering" attempts. It seems like it happens around 8 pm on Friday/Saturday/Sunday. Normally I'm not laying around on the couch for that amount of time, but I had to. That said, I've had to reset my modem and router each time to get out of it. Almost as though I need to empty the cache or something. Has anyone ever experienced this? I know my connection was "repaired" not too long ago. It was mangled outside and TimeWarner fixed it and gave me a new modem.

The modem is actually not a terrible model. It is the Arris Motorola SURFboard SB6121. I have "extreme" internet which I think is supposed to be 50 MBPS, maybe. It was doubled or some junk like that. I decided to buy a modem since TW is charging me $10 a month to lease their's. I got the Arris Motorola SURFboard SB6141, which handles higher speeds. I'm hoping that maybe that helps my issue. I don't think I'm being throttled. Internet usage for this month is about 40% lighter than the previous months, oddly.

I decided to try to get a slightly better modem. If that helps then I save that $10 a month. If it doesn't then I question whether I should go to the next level of internet for $10 more. I am paying TimeWarner $70 a month for internet today. A bundle may save me but I'm not leaving DirecTV.

Unfortunately that is peak internet hours. Cable internets kinda pool the bandwidth and when all of your neighbors are watching their porn you will notice slower networking because they are using it all.

Thanks man, the new job is shipping nuclear fuel logistics and engineering. So I'll be learning a lot of new skills and traveling all over the world. I had to make the exit from this job amicable because I'll still be in the same circle as my current bosses, and I may have to work with them again. New bosses are pretty laid back so I may be able to check in more than I think, but I need to bust my a** to make sure they are happy with their new hire haha

I hope the south isn't too bad, at least up up in the foothills of the App mtns and 1 hr from the AT trailhead.

Congrats. And sorry. Couldn't help myself.

nukular fuel logistics, that sounds fun, can you get me a job? I'm good with excel, pumps and seinfeld gifs.

See above Youtube.

It's pronounced nucular

Gah, beat me to it. I will not partake in the Purple Koala Uprising. You PKU.
