A friendly place for friends who drink

Somehow I lost the notes for my SG on my maibock from last month. So annoying.

My original mash tun was a 17 gallon rectangular cooler with a bazooka screen. Still have it i just felt like normal 5 gallon batches were too small for that cooler. There was a ton of head space that accounted for a 2-3 degree drop in mash temp on those batches. Ive wanted a 10 gallon cooler for awhile and very glad i finally got one.

New toys are always fun to play with. Sounds like the right tool for the job on those smaller (nonfinsfanmonsterbeer) beers/batches.

Already thinking up ways I might make use of one. Anything north of 1.07 on my current setup is going to be more hassle than its worth I reckon. A 10 gallon cooler +/-FB, valve and cam lock would be a simple workaround. Make one of those big flavorful complex stouts so I can stand with the rest of y'all in the thread.

HB Scottish ale. Some of the esters that were there early on have cleared up with a couple months in the bottle. It's really good now.

Had some straight out of the bottle and it was good (if a tad sweet) then I put some in the French press with Sumatra Gunung Goya coffee and it became sublime. Time to buy a Randall I think.

Flocc, just broke my graduated cylinder for my hydrometer. Did at least get the FG reading for my RIS, 1.032, making it a staggering 10.1% using the alternative formula.

Time to pick up dog poop and mow the lawn.

Yeesh. How many people? 4? Still, it hurts looking at it.

Mosaic Pale and dispensary series DIPA.

4 people. Uuuugh

It happens on and off.

That humour is as subtle as the letter 'b' in 'subtle'.



Got to the LHBS to crush my rye. Those guys were brutal (in a joking way). LOL - they said I should have done everything you guys suggested. I had to explain that I tried all those methods, and failed miserably. Oh well, at least I get to brew tonight! Now, should I start another thread about my third AG batch, just update y'all here, or leave well enough alone & just concentrate on the brew?

Hmm...

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Another mixture.

You need to whip out the dodecahedral die and start changing up the rules lest Hansel and/or Gretel smoke the witch to quickly.



now having a Dirty Bastard with glass.



Truly indebted to the folks of this thread. This is a beer I would otherwise never have looked at twice.View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1458508158.093897.jpg

My Brazilian is not as good as my Mexican unfortunately.

Me too. I had a quick chat with a guy last night
Him: do you speak Portuguese?
Me: no
Him: English?
Me: yes
Him: French?
Me: ??? No. Spanish and English
Him: *turns and walks off*

The "refresh" button on the top right of my app seems to have disappeared. Pretty annoying because it means I need to go back out of the thread and then back in if I want to refresh. Anyone else have that issue?

I'm assuming you don't have any iPhone, but try swiping down.

FTFY (that's what I thought it said at first glance.

Dinner in a few.

Hydro sample of my RIS. Roasty and a little hot, given time it should be good. Added oak and whisky and plan on bottling in 2 weeks. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1458510713.033565.jpg

For clarity - ABGB.

Wow, lots of smoke character still left in this one. I had expected it to be pretty subtle for a 3 year old beer, but it is very much not. Trying hard not to dump it.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Ready for a nap. Instead, about to start making dinner.

Never been. Loos like a hell of a choice.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Had this with dinner. Now have enough of a buzz to finish the weekend. Walking the dog and flurries are falling. At least they've downgraded the storm to be a coating or maybe an inch.

Have not PKUed. Watching bball and drinking a Guinness. Went to the play this afternoon to support my niece but got to leave after the first act. Score. Got a wigsplitter on deck for tonight. Really excited to try that one.
