Funny things you've overheard about beer

[Pyg]

Hmmmm doing some brainstorming...
-Get a wheat yeast strain with high low attenuation to leave a lot of sugars in. Having yeast in suspension makes it thicker. Anf othef stuff can overpower the wheat yeast taste.
-Enough base malt to get to 10% or so ABV.
-Every trick in the book to get thicker beer. Oats etc. etc.
-Enough roased malts to get it midnight black.
-Big handful of magnum bittering hops to blance out all the above. Some European hops of some sort for late addition.

Hmmmmmm....

You forgot the 10w-30 motor oil!

Wow reading back through the old pages it`s amazing how many myths get attached to Guinness. It`d be interesting to brew a beer that really is what many people believe Guinness to be.

I'm thinking a nice ~10% RIS would match people's expectations of what they think Guinness is.

That is what people think Guiness is. Thick. Chewy. Bitter.

...awesome :rockin:

Also, Surly's Blakkr could be a contender.

Don't forget the meat, since apparently one of the rumors is that Guinness uses meat in their beer.

Before I miss the train- your CASUAL BEER DRINKER *looks directly down nose, swirling a room temperature RIS* seems to believe Guinness Draught fits the bill of Ten Fidy.

I was just going off about this today! the vein in my neck was even popping out a little.

I was discussing my homebrew with one of my friends and he says to me, "You should try making a high gravity beer." I told him that I would most likely be brewing a IIPA soon and then he says, "I guess you would have to go up to the mountains to brew it though, so it would be tough." He was dead serious...

Gravity higher in the mountains? Your friend is not only stupid, but also wrong! I find that gravity is lower up here. Sometimes I can fly.

Edit: Sorry, should have said what your friend said was "funny" and wrong.

Technically it is B)

I almost responded the same way, and then it occurred to me that, given the uneven mass and density of the Earth's mantle, that may not be true. Paging a Geophysicist... Bueller... Bueller....

Gravity is sliiiiiiiightly lower on mountains because you`re farther from the Earth`s center of mass but you`ll get lower gravity going to the equator because the Earth`s spin makes it spread out a bit in the middle like anything else that get spun.

 

[Barley_Bob]

Your Mom has an uneven mass and density.

That is way too much science to contemplate with a hangover, this early in the morning!

Ah, that's the U.S. population's problem. Their not fat, they're SPUN!

Yo mama so fat, her mass at rest is approximately equal to that of a neutron star traveling at (1-(10^-1000))c.

But there's more matter beneath your feet (exerting gravitational pull on you) than there would be at lower elevations. Wouldn't more matter = more gravity?

 

[feinbera]

Up on top of the mountain, you're closer to one mountain, but you're farther away from the whole rest of the Earth. The rest of the Earth is a lot more massive than the mile or two of granite that makes up the mountain, so much more massive that being just a fraction of a percent farther from the center of mass weakens the gravitational pull a lot more than the mountain beneath your feet strengthens it.

You would feel less gravity floating at mountaintop height above sea level ground than you would on the mountaintop, but not for long.

 

[Singletrack]

The force of gravity is proportional to mass, but inversely proportional to the square of the distance separating the two objects (me and earth). If you double the mass, you double the force. If you double the distance, you quarter the force. This doesn't mean much in absolute terms, but may help explain why elevation "outweighs" the increased mass of the mountain.

Anyhow, happy to find that no one has questioned my ability to fly.

Flap on.

 

[unionrdr]

In other words, your weight matters more than the mountain beneath you, proportionate to the distance from sea level you are as well. Ain't science fun?! Especially with an Old Chub Scotch ale mixin' with Kentucky bourbon!...

The mass and density of the rock under the ocean is also much greater than the mass and density of continents. A mountain range is actually relatively light compared to the old and cold rock that makes up a sea bed. All elevations being equal, you would weight more standing on that ocean plate. The oceanic plates are actually so heavy that they sink way into the mantle and buoy the continents further up.


So, technically, any beer in space is a light beer. Astronauts are so lucky they don't have to deal with the calories.

Does this all mean that if I brewed my pale ale on mount everest it might be a 1.060 og intead of 1.050? Cause then I will brew up there and bring it down for fermentation to get more alcoho. To get wasted.

Bringing it back home...
