Correlation between dissolved oxygen and humour tolerance

[divrack]

I've noticed a certain relationship between proponents of the subject of lodo brewing and a general excitement and intolerance of opposing views, again having my relevant but slightly irreverent suggestions of brewing in space or having fish in the mash to scrub O2 deleted as off topic, which they obviously weren't, notwithstanding the quality or otherwise of the "jokes". But on previous occasions when perusing that thread I did notice a certain intolerance of dissent. I wonder if traditional German brewing practice can be correlated with extreme opinions and intolerance?...

I usually just dunk my head in the brewing water I am going to use and breathe the dissolved 02 to turn it into c02, two birds one stone.

I've found that my IPAs have brighter hop aroma when I play Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries on replay throughout fermentation. Just one man's opinion, but don't knock it till you try it.

That's a good idea, it might be faster than my usual method of putting a straw and blowing into my chilled wort to oxygenate it before pitching.

I only get infected brew 50% of the time so that's pretty good. I'm wondering if gargling undiluted star san would be more effective than listerine? I could improve my efficiency if I only have to dump 25% of my batches instead of half.

You're wrong.

Wagner will enhance the maltiness in a dopplebock or vienna lager.

Dump out your IPAs. Rebrew and play some Jimi Hendrix for them. Maybe Aerosmith or Phish.

Aerosmith is definitely going to oxidize your beer. There's a graph somewhere, google it.

You can't claim to make a NEIPA to style if you're not using New England music. Study the BJCP guidelines for fermentation music before you post nonsense like that here.

I have a similar ritual. If I want my bitterness to be more aggressive I play something like Metallica during fermentation, if I want it to be a little more smooth I will put on some Kenny G, and if I want it to be sweet I might play some R.Kelley.

NEIPA is so last year. SEIPA is the cool thing now. Wagner.

What would be New England music?

 

[Andrew Hodgson]

Boston.

I find r Kelly gives a bit too much of a sexual criminal flavour to my beer personally.

Yeah kinda gives it a hint of urine too.....

 

[divrack]

My German ale is loosing it's spritz and illusive procedural magic by it's proximity to all this so called "humour".
So so inefficient!

 

[divrack]

More suited to an American light lager like Coors

Dropkick Murphys

Cat Stevens and R. Kelly make a pretty good combo.

 

[Br3w4u]

Dropkick Murphys

I was going to say that but aren’t they Irish?

they're from Quincy Mass

I kind of equate LODO enthusiasts with Jehova Withesses. It's like a religion, or is it a cult? I know, I know, no politics or religion, but I didn't even mention bleeding heart liberal snowflakes. Doesn't that count for something?

Well, rewind a few posts...

Yeah I missed that. Sorry.

What about telling you that you've been doing everything wrong, with a largely unreferenced pile of literature, while offering the Solutions with some products only you can provide and being unwilling to listen to opposing arguments reminds you of the Church of Jehovahs witnesses precisely???

 

[divrack]

I suppose Germans always did lead the way on intolerance in brewing, what with their rihngottsgebloombloom law, which I'm pretty sure I spelled rite... There was that other thing that happened a while back, so who knows, maybe it is a real thing.

I guess opinions are no less relevant than cult doctrines.

 

[divrack]

The firmness with which a man holds a belief is directly proportional to the effort and sacrifice he has made coming to or defending that belief. I think I have that with my insistence on hand kneading pizza dough... But then I've never handed my wife and kids over to a messianic cult leader or triple boiled my sparge water in a nitrogen purged environment, so I'm still pretty agnostic in general.

No... Humour is only used for English Ales.

American Ales are based on a good sense of humor.

And the Germans like lagers because they eschew fruity "humor" of all kinds. They are a practical people.

I practice HIDO brewing.

It'll be the next big thing, substantiated by blogs and graphs made in excel.

I think dissing LoDo supporters is a bit much. LoDo is a great neighborhood in Denver and has many good breweries. For example, https://greatdivide.com. I play oompah music when brewing an Oktoberfest beer .

My beers often inspire laughter.

Either with their presentation or consumption.
