Fellowship of the Drink XI: Lunar Landings

[TwistedGray]

Gotta make it to Berkeley some time.

I’m not sure how you don’t pop them sons a *******. That’s a lot of beers.

Assign desired aging times to them all, wait for the cells to go green. I try not to hoard for the sake of hoarding, but rather experiment with aging and see what works.

Amateurs. 457, and that’s not even all of them... I never should have started counting...
BeerXchange makes a solid iPhone app for cellar management, if anyone’s interested. Ties in with Untappd, and you can export a .csv with all your pertinent info.

Oh, i'm aware that i'm not that far through the rabbit hole. Some of the cellars that people share are crazy.

I’m afraid to make that information private.

Box from @TBC was delivered and everything looks amazing. Huge thanks for the extras as well!

 

[LoneTreeFarms]

Like a kid at Christmas I woke early to open my spoils from @EcuPirate07. Everything arrived in excellent shape! Can't wait to start sampling!

Hi my name is Ben. And I have a problem, my cellar is below double digits. Mainly because I have no self restraint. Lol

Thanks for the sweet box ecu!!

 

[Boomer]

Thank you, craft beer, for making my alcoholism seem like a fun hobby.

 

[LoneTreeFarms]

Damn forgot the picture. Lol

That guy always sends the best candy [emoji16]

I’m afraid to make that information private.

If your afraid to make it private you mine as well make it public then!!

I’ll be honest that Charleston Ferm sour wasn’t drinking great fresh, but I had one before I put it up for offer and it’s freaking awesome now. Just took a while for the fruit to mesh together! Cheers sir! Lemme know what you think of the beer!

@jimyson - My apple tree is getting buds, too. Mind you, I'm in California...figure that one out.

My family has an Apple business here in NC, they have already blossomed.

 

[LoneTreeFarms]

I just checked mine today. ( while picking up a million sticks) no blooms. Hoping this last three snow storms didn't stunt them as they were starting to bud in march.

 

[CTownBrewer]

Just got bombed by @jimyson! Can’t wait to get into these. My wife is pumped about the coffee too!

 

[Thorrak]

My wife is pumped about the coffee too!

My condolences to your wallet. That's how it starts...

 

[fourfarthing]

This was an Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Dumerso. I roasted it lighter to accentuate the acidity and blueberry notes. Hopefully @orionol73 enjoys that.



I had a weird feeling that would happen. Damn. At least you only lost a bit.

As if this thread and hobby haven’t cost me enough, I just received a twenty dollar bag of Ethiopian coffee in the mail that I will dig into tomorrow (or tonight).

 

[jimyson]

My condolences to your wallet. That's how it starts...

I have about 15 lbs in the basement! I don’t track it in a spreadsheet though so my game could use some improvement.

 

[Br3w4u]

The liquor store that I shop at just got some new arrivals. La Folie is one of them. I have heard it was good but is it $20 good? Jolly pumpkin luciernaga is only $15.

 

[Br3w4u]

After seeing everyone else’s offers I feel like my offer was not generous enough.... I will have to turn up my game next time.

 

[jimyson]

Good God, take me now so that I will no longer live in misery. [emoji24][emoji30][emoji45]

Oh no what happened? That’s way too young for such a nice glass to go!!

This is why we can’t have nice things!

Been there, done that. People in this trade are really solid individuals.

 

[fourfarthing]

La Folie is worth your time.

 

[Br3w4u]

La Folie is worth your time.

Ok thanks. I might grab an extra one then.

 

[fourfarthing]

I still have a couple from last year in my cellar... I may need to have one to celebrate spring now that I think of it.

 

[jimyson]

Oh no what happened? That’s way too young for such a nice glass to go!!

My wife said she put it in the dishwasher and when she shut the rack, it cracked.

 

[jimyson]

It sucks because the Teku from the last exchange broke during shipment and now this.

 

[cegan09]

fancy glasses are cool, but i'm coming back around to study glasses. I have a bunch of pint glasses made by anchor that I bought for custom engraving with a lasor cutter that survive everything. Knocked one off a desk onto concrete and it just bounced. I reach for those now 9 times out of 10 when the option is something like the tree house Teku that feels like I could break just by grasping too hard.
