A friendly place for friends who drink

Relaxing brew morning. Having a break as the wort boils.

Late additions all prepped

View attachment 345470

Having tea while my pre boil sample cools. Want to see how closely it matches my refractometer. Have used it in over a year.

Who the Flocc taught Gavin how to make ipas???
Maybe he can science me a good water profile. God knows I'm not willing to take a crack at that

PKUing on the rest. Going bar hopping with SWMBO tomorrow. Hopefully no more bets will be lost where I have to post a picture of her choosing.

 

[Qhrumphf]

On to my Irish Red. Almost gone. I'm gassed.

 

[Helly]

I just had some Chinese take-out. Orange chicken w/fried rice. So bad for me. Tastes so good though.

I took it from the freezer and put it in the pan. Wasn't quite as good as takeout but it was good.

 

[smurfjuice]

Garbage pizza with another Dale's pale ... i kinda like it ...

I don't recommend this.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to crush rye at home without a mill? (Hint: neither blender nor food pro did the job.)

Why didn't the blender work? Mix with some 2 row and hit smoothie. Walk away.

Playing forbidden island with the kid. At least that's what she thinks.

I already have the other grains crushed (Red X) and my blender is a POS. Barely over a cup, for a few minutes, 90% still whole, and the kitchen smelled like ozone. It would blow up before I got through all 1.75 pounds.

I am pretty much resigned to have to wait until tomorrow night to brew, so I can go to my LHBS tomorrow afternoon and have them crush it. Not a big deal, really, just had my whole mind-set geared up for tonight.

 

[geoffey]

Well, harsh tannins might be pretty noticeable.

Tried the hydro sample and nothing really stood out. To be honest though, I don't know what harsh tannins taste like. Probably similar to Biff Tannen.

Celebrating getting a new job this. Drinking green tea mojitos and eating pizzas. Life is good.

Ah, you need to put more in.

It would be really astringent... Dry your mouth out.



Also... KAKAROT! Epic nerding going on in here.

Lastest..
m00ps brett IPA, my first of the kind. Surprisingly nice! 8%? It was too easy to drink.

A free drink after, thanks to the kids.

Last, buddy brought from a California trip. Nice IPA. Antibiotics are working, proper tastes coming back.

DIPA..never give never surrender. First known good recipe using Brew'n water from EZ.

Think of the bitterness really good (read: strong) black tea has.

 

[slym2none]

As well as a better blender. This thing is as old as Disturbed Chemist - not new enough to be good, and not old enough to be indestructible.

Hmmm... Don't know that taste. It did taste pretty bitter. But most hydro samples do.

Dessert/breakfast. This is fantastic.

I am jelly of that pack. It probably has less coff than Steak Toaster, and I'm out after two, plus several other beers.

Icy bay IPA at the bar. Too lazy to cook tonight after Palm Sunday mass.

Where'd you find it? I have a plan to usurp Hunter as CAD's favorite.

 

[slym2none]

Awesome use of the word "usurp". That's one that isn't used enough, I say.
