A friendly place for friends who drink

Alternating between Old Rasputins and Oskar Blues IPAs.

It's a good thing. (TM)

Gotta hydrate somehow.

This place seems awfully quiet tonight, and weird stuff being discussed about wood piles in other "friendly" places. Hopefully I'll wake up tomorrow and be 30k posts behind as usual, and all will be back to normal...

Marzen. Tasty

My strongest lager to date. Recipe needs some edits but a tasty beer.

FTFY; arrogants.

That is the lest sense you've ever made.

Thought you meant about drinking my beer on draft. Planned BBQ and all that. Exact date pending. You're invited. Had you forgotten?

Crash-cooled my IPA when I got home. It will be kegged in 3-4 days, ready to drink in ~5 days.

Taiwanese BBQ is great. Like TX BBQ only with more squid, blood sausage and a different marinade.

Sorry I guess I was going off half cocked. Bullet points are usually my friend to translate the hubbub in my head to cogent text.

I think you may be somewhat refreshed. Steak toastered if you will.

Time for another beer.

Marzen again

And Big Bang Theory I see. Need someone on my side to convince @Hunter_la5 to do rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock..

BTW and IMHO, series been going downhill last couple seasons since they introduced all this relationship crap.

Morning friends. Having some coffee. Had some OddSide Troll Tolls last night. Nice new beer. Coffee now. Headed to church for my nephew's baptism in a few. Snow on the ground, really ready for this to be done.

 

[joshesmusica]

started cold crashing my rye pale ale today. been in the fermenter for 3 weeks. not gonna use gelatin. being super chill with this one. will be dumping the rest of the ESB (definitely convinced it was tannins, and I can't finish a glass now), and kegging this one. maybe do that on friday. can't wait. hopefully will be carbed enough to get a sample after our first game on saturday.

I feel weird posting here and posting over there. Like I don't want to just post the same things twice, but if I don't there will be people who miss out. And my life is so exciting people will not wanna miss out.

@gavinC I can't remember if I posted this here, but that's not a pils do you have any other nice lager recipe that I could use 34/70 on and do a decoction with? I mean is it gonna pair well with pretty much any malt forward beer (the decoction)?

 

[Dave1096]

Tired Hands Secret Poncho with breakfast...because why not?

BTW - haven't been on in a long time. Am I just not used to the updated website layout, or is it as bad as my initial reaction leads me to believe it is?

Totally agree. It is slowly dying as the writers; as they often do in these shows, try to correct the characters foibles and revert to type. Why not leave them as the single nerds they were?

Marriage, kids, relationship troubles. FFS. Big Bang Theory is not the fresh hilarity it once was.

My Dunkel involved a single decoction. I used WLP833 but 34/70 or probably any solid lager yeast could be used. I'd reduce the "Carafa III special" a touch in it. The decoction seemed to magnify the coloration. 1-2% of the grist would be plenty.

Here is a bit on my Vienna which I'm still finalizing. Tasty beer though. Bronze medal

Those both look great. Now I'm gonna have a tough time deciding which one to go with. Might let the wife decide. So should I only do the one decoction then? I was thinking of trying it again up to mash out temps. So it would be infusion to beta rest, decoction to alpha rest, decoction to mash out, batch sparge.

Also, what water profile did you shoot for on the vienna?

 

[Zekk]

Coffee. Love me some coffee. I even put creamer in it for a treat.

Baby took his first steps yesterday. Pretty excited.

Ok, the wife chose the dunkel. Next brew after this one will be the vienna lager, though. She liked the dark lagers we had in prague, so I'm guessing she'll like this one.

That's awesome! Mine's not quite there yet. Pulls up on everything, and scoots around furniture, and will walk while pushing stuff, but not without holding onto something. He stands free handed not realizing it for ~ 5-10 seconds, then realizes he's not holding onto something and plops down. Lol. Goes by too fast!

Shift work. Sun-Tues/every other wed. Of course when I'm laying in the pool in early afternoon on a Wednesday day off, life isn't so bad. 😀

My oldest, who will be 8 later this month, got so excited after walking about 3 steps into mommy's arms, he puked all over her. Wasn't sick, just really happy and puke all over mom. Wish I would have gotten a picture of it.
