Beer Gods

[bracconiere]

He didn’t....the beer gods did.

time to sacririce a 6pack of seltzers into a storm drain and hope for the best

damn, you sound drunker then me now!

 

[seatazzz]

Let me guess...you’re an extract brewer...sigh

Bite thy tongue. All grain all the way. Although, technically....all-grain brewers are ALSO extract brewers, we just make our own extract.

 

[seatazzz]

i'm osrry if that's not the right reaction.....i hope it wasn't the new youtube channel.......you know they hate to see us smiling! and, lol, you've got to explain how you "melted" your thermometer?

Stupid rookie mistake. It's a magnetic probe thermometer (cheap thank ninkasi) that I left on the brewstand last brewday...of COURSE right next to the burner for the HLT. Surprised it didn't burst into flames. Just got a bit melted on the back, still works, but can't change the battery since the back melted too much. New one winging its way to me tonight, also a new line for the other burner and some more airlocks.

*edit And I've been listening to the new youtube channel all day, can't believe I didn't find this before. It's growing on me.

Happy b-day, Moose! I turned 50 almost 20 years ago, so I kinda, sorta, remember what it was like to be your age.

If you’re keeping score, I’m an all grain brewer, don’t bag hops, and only use dry yeast. I just finished chilling a Brown Ale, but I’ll pause for a moment, before pitching the US-05, to pour a jar of something in honor of your round number. Cheers!

LOL, so you're saying....you stuck your thermometer to your burner? that's a good one....

Jeez, and I thought I had a ghetto quality setup...

last i saw of your setup you were driving a tractor trailor, with two combines? WTF?

I was referring to my brewing rig-it won’t win any prizes in the Shiny New Thing contest. I don’t build breweries, I brew beer. Gear doesn’t make beer.

I challenged the author to say the pic had to be doctor’d....i was complimentary but still politely rejected the authenticity of the pic...
...
...
he pointed out that he did not have a cleat to tie it off so he used the door hinge....
....
....
and just like that I found my beer god

 

[day_trippr]

Gotta say, y'all are a laugh riot from a safe distance tonite
And, yeah, sticking a freakin' hook in the wife's kitchen ceiling is a rookie mistake....and you hate to see that happen...

Cheers!

welcome my friend....leave your DME at the door and come on in!

 

[day_trippr]

If I'm gonna visit a party I gotta get a beer...wait a tick...

Hello, Julius, my old friend....

Cheers!

 

[Moose_MI]

Mmmm..Tank 7.

 

[b-boy]

Well yeah - he's one of those BIAB guys. I'd be pissed too.

 

[Moose_MI]

Have I ever mentioned how much I love beer? I really, really do. I found a list of Beer Gods and I figure, out of that list, I'm going to become a worshipper of Ninkasi, cause not only do I get beer but she also has the power to satisfy human desire. Seems like a win/win to me. Now I just need to convince my employer that as a Ninkasi worshipper I need to maintain a certain level of inebriation.

What Does Labour Have to Lose From a Left Turn? -

..and I’m drinking
...but the OP was poetic..or prolific..or prophetic...
..it started with a pee...

if you're going to bump it, i'd have to refresh my memory...

and i'd have to tag all the admin's, seatazzz. and a few others, to make the joke i want too!

well that got weird....lol

^^^Doesn't it usually?

Anyway, from my perspective, Beer Goddesses is aesthetically appealing. Not too much into the deitys, so them being pleasing to the eye is kind of important if I'm expected to worship them.

speaking of which, angie, send me those stickers! i found more uses for them! i realized, my kegs have them, my taps have one. but my beer glasses are naked!

 

[day_trippr]

Dude! That's looking a bit rude.
There's this thing called a "sponge", and this other stuff called "Formula 409". And then there's "water" - you might have heard about that one...

Cheers!

 

[bracconiere]

Dude! That's looking a bit rude.

you never get skid marks between your taps? or are you just THAT good at kegging and never get gas? lol, i'm still proud the beer gods blessed me with advice on the scale! love that thing..........still!

edit: and those taps have been there for 16 years! you were just documenting having to buy a new one, having to break it in!

 

[day_trippr]

I occasionally get some splashing spots when a novice has been handling the taps and doesn't understand the "open all the way, then close all the way" thing But I swiftly mop up after said adventures.
If you haven't gotten this yet, I'm rather compulsive, and some things just can't be allowed to stand...

Cheers!

 

[bracconiere]

well it's 10pm now and bed time because i gotta get up early to brew, but i'll post a new pic tomorrow. scrubed clean. but i'm not shure how i'd clean the ice cream pick. when i don't have it in there, it scares me because i live in ratle snake country.
