A friendly place for friends who drink

finally home.

[Work Rant] Spent the last two hour of work, plus the 45 min drive home trying to convince our hosted email filter Tier 3 support that every email we send from our company is not spam. They changed their algorithm last night and all day today we kept getting bounce back from them saying couldn't deliver, customers and vendors saying they were not getting emails. Finally figured out they were quarantining about 50% of the email we sent as spam, based on ?!??![/Work Rant]

on a positive note, stopped at got a 4 pack of these. The other 3 will be making appearances later in this thread tonight , even though I am working tomorrow.

Well, against all odds, our cat was found. He spent about 20 hours outside and had to get a bath for his troubles, but he's home safe and sound.

Have some feeling a few young females have a broken heart. Ready for 20 grandkitties?

Second stoopid pour. So good.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Last of the Nebraska tour. Similar to 50ft Brunette. What's the difference between an 11% brown and a 12% Barleywine? Any beer aficionados around?

He's a 17 year old cat who was fixed long ago. No worries there!

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Sorry..

Dead to me. As the de facto king of beer mountain, dead to the rest of you.

Uh...I think you're letting this whole 20k winnings thing go to your head. That was 10k posts ago. It's almost April. PKU. Move on.

 

[blizzard]

I have that. Blizz sent it to me. I should probably let it sit.

I can't remember if I sent you 2011 or 2014 (it has a date code), but I pre-aged it for ya.

Nope, work tomorrow and Monday. Work for a Jewish place...

Congrats on 30k. You still win nothing.

We made 30k in 24 days. What will April bring?

Scratch one off my three-sheets bucket list.

Glad your cat is back @mcbaumannerb

Drinking The Trooper out of a handled mug. Because I can. 0.5L, close enough to a stein.

He's still king to me...

So just a thought on my bitter, astringent, imperial stout issue. If it's dark malt tannin related, thinking about grinding darks separate from base grains, then do a rinse of the dust prior to mashing. Any thoughts?

Sounds like work. I have way too much vacation time and not enough money to actually take a vacation. Go figure. Thank God for visiting family to use vacation time on.

Congrats on 30k

Thanks. I'm sure my job will offer me some compensation for it haha

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Thanks for the well wishes for the cat. After his bath he's been cycling between food, water and litter box. Like he was never gone.

Dude if we did that every 10 k we would all be broke.

Untaggable Vienna.

If you poured this and told me it was Modelo ***** I wouldn't bat an eye. Damn near perfect.

Looks tasty.

Glad you like it. Sorry there was only 1 left to send. 1 Vienna is not really enough.

I've never done that but in theory I view it as a bad idea, particularly for a stout. Late additions of dark malts mean you need to be tailoring your mash pH for earlier on in the mash when you have no H+ contribution from the dark malts and the bulk of the enzymatic activity is occurring.

Late additions of dark malts will have an impact primarily on the subsequent kettle pH bringing it lower still.

What impact will that have on the beer's final flavor/mouthfeel? I don't know, but mash pH for stouts are often higher than for lighter beers to give a smoother mouthfeel I believe. Could be totally wrong here.

I've looked at this idea a couple of times and read up a bit on it and it seems there are very rare instances/beer styles where it is useful. I can't see a need to do it ever when simpler work-arounds exist. Seems to me to be a needless over complication.

TL,DR. Nope

 

[1977Brewer]

Aww sharts. My Brooklyn Chocolate Stout didn't load. Got back to my phone and assumed an app normalcy. Nope.

Still drinking that. About to get effing plowed because my wife is kissed that I don't know two people from church who I have no business knowing. She's in bed pouting now.

Sump time.

 

[Helly]

Had some of this and some of that. Watching some bball. Will probably doze off before halftime.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Gavin, I was actually thinking about adding all grains at same time. Just rinsing the grain dust off darks prior, in case any astringent off flavors are from there. I've switched to brew'n water which others say is on the nose ph wise with various styles. This last ris was at 5.4, ended at 1.027 and does seem thin to me at least. Suggesting a higher ph for a creamer feel is new to me.

Not really sure what you mean by rinsing off dust I'm afraid.

How do you know the astringent flavors are from dust?

How are you measuring mash pH? When are you measuring it?
