A friendly place for friends who drink

I dint know I see this thing ending around 1400 hrs central. Once Cad gets done checking emails we'll see cat gifs flying at there normal pace.
Man I'm more excited about this than the powerball a few months ago.
Water about to get my day started.

Oh, alright then.. just going off personal experiences where adding sugar seemingly had zero perceived effect.

Yeah... and may be true for the lighter/hoppier ales, depending on the recipe, a half pound isn't going to do much.

But I think with the stout, if it's too dry, that roasty flavor can almost turn to a acrid/burnt flavor with zero sweetness to counter.

Think in terms of the anti-sweetness properties of inline mash steaktoaster decoctions.

Mroing. Gonna make coffee and then head to work and hit 20k.

I already clear to drive, ********.

Unless we're talking about my car that's on a donut right now and then yes.

Are we there yet?

I definitely don't want acrid.. are you in the 'add crystal' boat too then, or just keep sugar out?

If you want it really dry and roasty, no... I'd just keep the sugar out.

Well, that was the last chance for you holdouts to join.

[hunter_le five]

So, what beers are y'all sending me?

 

[DrunkleJon]

That's going to be a lot of boxes showing up for the winner. I like it

 

[Hello]

@TheCADJockey why add the wheat? Just curious.

Drinking water...overdid the beer last night...belly wrecked.

 

[TheCADJockey]

So, what beers are y'all sending me?

Budweiser, Bud Light, Bud Light Lime, Budweiser Select and this picture in the original frame I won by throwing darts at balloons at a fair in '92.

 

[geoffey]

Not sure I can get anything done today until we hit 20k.

 

[BGBC]

So, what beers are y'all sending me?

Empty bottles, crushed cans, used caps, packed with styrofoam peanuts

 

[TheCADJockey]

@TheCADJockey why add the wheat? Just curious.

The only reason I originally wanted to make a stout, was because I wanted to use midnight wheat when I saw it at the store. It just drew me in. Don't know what it will do, but that is the one item that is non-negotiable.. even if it will ruin the beer.

Do you think it's a bad addition?

Looks like you got a bunch of accidents and road work along the way. Still bet youd beat me though

That's a helluva lot better than what I was going to send you, so thanks.

Colt 45

Nah, midnight wheat is awesome. Maybe not my first choice for a stout, but it does have a smooth slightly roasty flavor. I keep 2-3lbs on hand at all times in case I feel the need for a black IPA or saison

 

[hunter_le five]

Empty bottles, crushed cans, used caps, packed with styrofoam peanuts

It's the thought that counts.

 

[hunter_le five]

Colt 45

That'd better come with two zig-zags.

I'm more of an Olde English guy anyway.

How about gettin crazy and make a black wheat beer

Nope. Just wondered was all.

 

[iijakii]

Put a piece of silicone on the end of my faucet and turned it down, filled a growler last night with very little foam. Think I'll feel safe sending out bottles like that. We'll see. Probably should let one sit for a week at room temp first to test? Don't want to send any of you nasty oxidized beer. Eh, at least it'd be better than a saison.

 

[TheCADJockey]

You's guys freaking me out with this recipe, I should just forget the stout and make more IPAs forever.

 

[sompls]

Yikes! You guys are off to a blistering pace so far!
