A friendly place for friends who drink

Also Q if you have time, I'd be grateful for any input on this.

I've never tried the doing roast malts separate bit. But chemically if you were to do it this is the style.

The problem with steeping the roast grains separately is that when you drop down the pH into range for the non-roast mash, once you add your roast malts in you still get the acidity from them and drive the pH of the whole beer down. It impacts the balance. Now a sharper, acidic finish in that style I could see working, but it's fine without.

If full volume mashing including your roasted grains puts you at pH 5.5 with the soft water, that is what I would do.

Thanks Q. Pretty much echoing my own thoughts. Really value your opinion nonetheless. Very much appreciated.

Meine deutsch ist geflunked ich bin afraid. Got the guten Abend bit but das ist alles. Something about not listening to Hunter's potato?

That's more than I got. My german is pretty much limited to the names of certain food and bier items.

JAOM sure can be good. It really needs some age on it in my limited experience.

JAOM is good. Definitely needs aging to be good, though, contrary to what some people say ime. At least a year to really shine.

Agreed. 1 year plus and it's really fantastic

More grilling fun

 

[ChefRex]

Hola.

 

[mcspanner]

Dia dhuit (hi)

 

[Qhrumphf]

Dia dhuit (hi)

That's Scots Gaelic? That's what Google Translate says. I tried briefly learning Irish, but ran into the same problem I did with French and Italian, where I simply couldn't get the basic pronunciations down, and abandoned it quickly. Spanish and German are the only languages I've had success with aside from English (and I didn't continue pursuing Spanish).

 

[applescrap]

@gavin love the loaded grill looks good, what is the meat?

While you all have been sprecking zie deutshe. I have been tearing out floor with 20 pound demo hammer. Lol had 200 nails in it. That job sucked, will put in floor and wainscot next

Just Irish Q.

Roughly pronounced "Dee ah ghwit"

 

[bob1852]

Howdy friendly friends.

Ran out of propane during my boil today. Luckily, I heard it coming, so just altered the finishing hop times...

50 minute boil with hops at 5 and 0 instead of 10 and 0. Doubt the bittering addition of 50 minutes instead of 60 will make much difference....

 

[Qhrumphf]

See, my problem with French (and to a lesser extent Italian) is that the letters are pronounced in a sensible manner, but half of them aren't pronounced. The Celtic languages, they're all pronounced wrong

Part of the reason for that is that there is a much smaller alphabet.

No j k q v w x y z in the Irish alphabet.

Couple of examples
bh=v (Siobhan, pronounced shiv-awn)
sh sound is inferred by the vowel after the S
(Sean, Siobhan, Sinead)

Class has ended. Have a beer.

 

[Qhrumphf]

I got about as far as "Bean", "Fear" and "Uisce" before I gave up. Neat sounding language but not one I think I'll ever care enough to learn. As much as I try, I am not a polyglot.

It's ironic since the Gauls were actually the same people as the Celts (Gaul was the Roman word for Celt). Hence the term Romance languages. Fooking Italians took over everything.

This. There is no justification for that pronunciation.

Aoife = ee-fah

I remember high school and translating Caesar (I actually was quite adept at Latin, because like Spanish, the pronunciation is pretty straightforward and standard, and the u/v and i/j hurdles are not hard to overcome). Not that it's relevant. Just a lot of accounts of the various wars against the Gauls. Of course, all my Latin knowledge is lost to years of drugs and alcohol. But perhaps that's why I've been able to understand what little of Romance languages I can. I can read far more than I could hear, write, or speak.

My understanding was that the Celts and the Gauls were different. Rome conquered the Gauls. They never truly conquered the Celts. However, the Saxons descended from the Gauls DID conquer the Celts.

Me neither. I've taken more spanish classes than I care to admit to, and still sound like a retard when trying to speak it.

I've enough of a hard time with my native tongue as it is.

Lienenkoogle ... sorry, thats all i got ...

Flingen Poopen!

Sorry, only studied Spanish (well, French in kindergarten and 1st grade while in Louisiana).

 

[mcspanner]

I only know a few words and phrases. What I do know is that if you see an "M" and an "F" on the toilet doors in a pub in the Gaeltacht - M means Ladies (Mńa) and F means men (Fir). You'll only make that mistake once.

I once met a man called Derick Herning; a hyperglot on Shetland. He held the Guinness World Record for most languages spoken at the time. He also won Polyglot of Europe after being interviewed by native speakers in 22 languages in one day. Interesting chap.

I've have entire conversations with Turkish and Czechoslovakian friends on goolge translate. Close enough.

Top of the morning to friendlies. Hope your day goes smooth and peaceful...I'll thrown in profitable too. 😊
