I think you're overanalyzing it, as new brewers tend to do. If it's not bubbling, it hasn't started (but it most likely will) or it's done. If you aren't sure, wait a few days. The yeast will settle, the beer will clarify considerably, and your beer will be better having waited.

It's rare to let a beer sit for too long, but lots of new folks tend to jump the gun and drink beer green.

As for the airlock or blow tube, both get ruined if they get all full of sticky foam, so it's mostly a cost issue. Best thing is to ferment in a vessel large enough that you don't have blow-off, and then just use an airlock.

Is this because of the discussion on taco spice?

Racist.

Why is Guinness so funny? No matter the circumstance, Guinness is the punchline.

Because, like it was discussed a few pages back, the public's perception of Guinness (heavy, high alcohol, viscous, tons of calories) vs. the reality (thin-bodied, sessionable, relatively low-calorie) are polar opposites of one another. That's funny.

Wait, we can get this thread closed?!?!! Game on!!

No snow recently. Beginning to harvest asparagus.

There's a snow post? Sounds exciting!!

No, "Snow" thread.

I wish I could contribute something funny heard about beer, but my social group doesn't dwell to much on their favorites. We all respect choices. A few Lite drinkers, Sierra Nevada, Fat Tire, and Spotted cow.

There was a new one on tap. Something like Docklehaus. Maybe it's funny that I can 't remember the spelling.

Other conversations can get lively.

That is funny! I can't tell you how many times I've heard, "I can't drink that...too strong...milkshake...calories...high alcohol...!"

I love this thread. It oscillates between asinine, boring, hilarious, and almost closed unlike any other.

Whoo boy, like when Mabel and Marge got into the Cottage cheese vs. curds war back in '98. That was a doozy.

Crap now we will have to drink less Sierra Nevada and New Belgium because they are the new "Light".

Our son in-law asked me if I'd make him a batch, I said sure.
The wife insisted that I tell him to keep quiet about where he got it, that she didn't want anyone breaking in our house to steal beer.

I'd say that qualifies as high praise. :rockin:

Or a terrible indictment of the neighborhood.

"I don't drink beer because I'm a vegan. Beer has animal ingredients in it." - Dude 1 (Sipping a Moscow Mule)

"That's not true. Beer MAKES you an animal!" - Dude 2 (Double-fisting 22's)

My local course is very blue collar. The beer cart stocks all the BMC lites, Heineken, Labbat and Genny White label. The most craft beer at the bar is Sam Adams Summer Ale, or LongHammer IPA
Once, I mean once last year, I found a SN Pale Ale (can) in the beer kart.
I did a snoopy dance !!!!

Now everytime the Cart Girl sees me she tells me she has no "special" beer. I tell her it is not "special" it is "good beer"!
Now she just calls me "special".
I am not sure if that is a compliment!

 

[unionrdr]

She sounds kinda like the Church Lady from Church Chat!

He ought to get an insurance rider on it!

Just recently made my 1000th post! Took me the better part of 3 years to do it, but I'm here...

 

[Alpotun]

But she dislikes beer altogether so she wouldn't know, and the neighborhood's fine and he's not a hoodlum or anything.
I think she just doesn't want me spending my time brewing for someone else...

Yeah... especially for an infected bottle.

There's an STD joke in there somewhere, but I ain't touchin' it.

I heard beer was hanging out with Gretchen under the bleachers after school. Ewwww!

Gretchen is so gross.
