What's wrong with suede?

Nothing, if we're talking furniture.

Why, I'm wearing suede bell bottoms right now.

And the bevy of mental images that will haunt me unto my death and thereafter takes on another stowaway...

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

I suppose I should have italicized old dudes for the desired affect. Just ribbing ya.

And Sheck, some people can pull off suede bell bottoms, never let anyone tell you you aren't that person.

I think I found an old pic of shecky.... Not too sure though.

Mission accomplished.

IAnd Sheck, some people can pull off suede bell bottoms, never let anyone tell you you aren't that person.

I won't. I'm tall, I'm thin and I'm wearing a rockin' pair of high-heeled boots.

For some reason, Stevie Winwood's voice is in my head. (Take that, you whippersnappers. Bull will get that reference, and maybe even BK).

Slow down there, sonnies. I'm not in the grave yet. And IP, I think I've proved I can go toe-to-toe with the likes of you.

haha, I'm the one trying to keep up. The old man line is just an easy one that's always on stand by. I'm the youngest in my department by at least 10 years so it gets used frequently.

They had a pretty decent cheese fondue. I actually don't remember anything else from their menu, and I used to frequent that place when I lived there.

Guess that proves the shotty menu if you frequented the palce and still don't remember anything.


Man Brownie, No Matter where you go, people (Shecky, Dataz, and I are going to hijack your threads!) Maybe just stick to posting on weeknights past 5 on weekends when we are not going to be brewing/browsing.

WTF?!?!?! And I am not worthy? Dang, I am hurt..... I will have to be more abusive in the future....

Thanks, IP. Real great. Real, real great.

Keep this up and we're gonna get booted into General Chit Chat again.

Personally, I would not bring up that you are relatively young in a business setting. I have never found a time that it is advantageous to be younger than average. The only reason I made the joke here is because Shecky et al. researched my profile to find I was younger and called me out in some other thread.... he had it coming, I just waited a while.

uh oh..... umm ummm ummm naked pictures...errrr I mean barleywine... yea thats it spend your return getting barleywine

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

Wait this thread isn't in the drunken mumblings forum?

oh yeah. You should go with the full boil or ferm control. seriously

 

[shecky]

What, nobody wants to take a run at this one? Wimps.

 

[bernerbrau]

yea spend your return getting barleywine

OK, so I'm thinking $100 on the counterflow, $40 or so worth of barleywines, $10-20 on a 6 gallon Better Bottle, and maybe a 40qt stockpot for full boil, what, another $50-100? Or a small freezer and digital temp controller that I might later be able to turn into a keezer. What would that one run me?

You must just be that much older than me because i dont even know who Stevie Winwood is...... there better now?

Then you have not thought of service jobs that require lots of travel and long hours. These positions are more often filled filled by young guys than older men with established families and home lives.

 

[dataz722]

OK, so I'm thinking $100 on the counterflow, $40 or so worth of barleywines, and maybe an 80qt stockpot for full boil, what, another $50-100? Or a small freezer and digital temp controller. What would that run me?

I really hope you were joking when you said 80qt.

 

[bull8042]

You need to refer to the post right before yours. I was just quicker posting than you. Look here - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/1094436-post63.html

What are you, 12? Bull, help me out here. I'm in a nursery.

 

[bernerbrau]

Yes. For some reason I was thinking my 5gal was a 40qt, not a 20qt.

 

[shecky]

I saw that and knew exactly what it was. Still need help edumacating these youguns on Stevie Winwood (and the high-heeled boots reference).

 

[bernerbrau]

Wahhhhhhh.

 

[bull8042]

What's wrong with that.... He may want to move up to 30 gallon boils someday. Give him credit for thinking ahead.

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

I've heard of Winwood but if you are looking for a specific story or reference I am lost.

Don't think I can help you too much. I am beginning to think my posts are invisible. I think I am going to change my username to bull8042_INVISIBLE and keep LG company for a while.

 

[bernerbrau]

Damn straight. Only thing better than accidentally turning an amber into a barleywine is turning 216 22-oz bottles of amber into barleywine.

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

80 quarts = 20 gallons. That is realistic if you are planning to brew 10 or 15g batches.

Where did you see BB's for 10-20? I vote freezer for fermenting adn future kegging.

Might be difficult in a 20G pot! You see, you need Basic Math 101 as a pre-req for Varsity. That is why you're on JV. hahahaa Shecky on the other hand got in on the grandfather clause.

Dang your speed Kabouter

 

[shecky]

I've heard of Winwood but if you are looking for a specific story or reference I am lost.

I guess I gave you too much credit.

"The Low Spark of High-Heeld Boys" is a 1971 song by Traffic, headed by Windwood, who at the time was in his late teens, I believe.

If you see something that looks like a star
And it’s shooting up out of the ground
And your head is spinning from a loud guitar
And you just can’t escape from the sound
Don’t worry too much, it’ll happen to you
We were children once, playing with toys
And the thing that you’re hearing is only the sound of
The low spark of high-heeled boys

The percentage you’re paying is too high priced
While you’re living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he’s made on your dreams
But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn’t make any noise
But it wasn’t the bullet that laid him to rest was
The low spark of high-heeled boys

If you had just a minute to breathe and they granted you one final wish
Would you ask for something like another chance?
Or something similar as this? Don’t worry too much
It’ll happen to you as sure as your sorrows are joys
And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound of
The low spark of high-heeled boys

If I gave you everything that I owned and asked for nothing in return
Would you do the same for me as I would for you?
Or take me for a ride, and strip me of everything including my pride
But spirit is something that no one destroys
And the sound that I’m hearing is only the sound
The low spark of high-heeled boys
​

Not a bad suggestion, but I'm probably gonna stick to ~5gal batches for the time being.

I had also been thinking of making small, 1-2 gallon all-grain batches using growlers for fermenters, since I'm equipped to partial.
