I can't stand it when BMC drinkers say sh*t like this

[tranceamerica]

I find a lot of people aren't willing to drink some mystery drink out of a bottle with no lable. The weird stuff on the bottom of the bottle is off-putting too.

while their taste buds tell them it's good, they just can't get over their social conditioning that it looks weird.

so, now I only swap beer with those who appreciate it.

Hell, I even had one dumf**k tell me that I "must have a high tolerance for bad beer" since I brew my own. After I finished laughing at him, I told him that I feel my beer is superior to most any beer you can buy in the store.

But he is typical. He views the whole thing with skepticism, yet has never tried a homebrew. (and I'm unlikely to waste any of mine on him).

Unless you do a blind tasting, he will refuse to like your beer. He is predisposed to hate it, and there's nothing you can do about it. You'll almost have to trick him into drinking it without doing a direct side-by-side comparison, since yours will be fairly easy to distinguish against an actual BMC. Pour him one, tell him it's a new Bud product, and see what he says. Come clean later...at the risk of his disbelief.

That would just be cruel!.....Which is why I give that idea a +1

I don't think I could or would but........



How about making an addition to it before recapping.

That is the closest Orfy gets to invoking Evan's law?

As mentioned in the post above I do understand what you mean

but on a related note I was first thinking of throwing in a pinch of sugar which one boos the carbonation back up that you just depleted by recapping it, and also put a layer of yeast sediment on the bottom... at which point I realized that there wouldn't be yeast sediment ever in a bud, filtered and all that crap. so you'd need to add a pinch of notty too, which would then affect other things and be a crapload of work. So I settled on recapping and serving rather quickly to reduce loss of carbonation.

You need to tell him your doing a blind taste test to see which beer he prefers, your cream ale to the budweiser. Then put cream ale in both glasses (or a mug stein if you wanna hide the color). When he points out the one he likes, act hurt and ask him why he likes that particular one.

HAW HAW - then laugh your ass of at him.

DING DING DING - EVEN BETTER IDEA. I LOVE IT!

 

[bad coffee]

so he wants you to make a lager.

you don't have a lager fridge.

tell him if he buys you a lager fridge, you make him lager.

Otherwise tell him to STFU.

Okay, I was a bit harsh earlier. Be nice and do some needlepoint for him:

That statement seems somehow more demure in needlepoint!

 

[jcarson83]

piss into a keg and force carb it, he'll probably like it.

That;s funny s**t

YEAH!!!!!! im going to do that. And everyboy...i have known this guy for 15 years and me and him are really good friends. We just got into one of those fights that get a little out of hand. Everybody has those fights with their best friends and we are always talking and laughing the next day. Stop calling him a dick cuz he is like a brother to me. He just hates it when he is wrong

 

[mysteryberto]

Get a bottle of the new Budweiser ale and fill it with cream ale and cap it!

[Homercidal]

Me too and I agree.

 

[beesy]

Fat X Nub,

Wher did you find the recipe? I listened to the podcast from 12/18/06 ad he gave a similar recipe, but used flaked corn. The one he stated on there for 6 gallons was

5lb pilsner
5lb 2 row
1lb flaked corn
1lb cane suger
1 oz liberty at 60 m.
.5 oz liberty at 1 m.

target og 1.054

Actually, you're on the right track I think, but need to turn up the "evil" dial a little more.

Pour him one, and tell him it's a new Bud product that's not released in this market, and that you have "connections" that'll get more if he likes it. He will, because there's prestige associated with having something nobody can get, and offer to get him the beer. It's expensive, and they haven't designed labels yet, so you know, for 15 dollars a 6 pack, it's ALL HIS. Just don't tell anyone where you got it.

I bet you could keep this going for months and fund an entire year's worth of brewing off of one cream ale batch.

Call it an "idiot tax" and don't feel bad about fleecing your friend

BAH!

Make a DIPA for yourself, and hopbomb the living bejeebus out of it. Pour one for him (if you want to just be cruel bottle it in some bud ale bottles with the label still on) and sit back and watch his mouth implode after the first gulp.

That was where my devious mind was taking me too. Screw malty beers, that's how I keep my friends outta my stash. I just brew hoppier or dark beers and they are not interested.

i brewed that 2 months ago. He said it was to hoppy But after some cold conditioning he says it is ok

 

[Kauai_Kahuna]

Okay, I was a bit harsh earlier. Be nice and do some needlepoint for him:
"Shut your ..... mouth".

I need to have some of those made up for me, maybe a few T-shirts, modified welcome mat....

 

[Bob]

modified welcome mat....

 

[auto]

There's only one way to respond to someone like that: "F--k you, brew your own f--king beer then if you don't like mine".

Pretty much exactly what I would have said.

 

[Kauai_Kahuna]

NICE.
Maybe I can have one of those made up for me while I'm on vacation.

 

[DrinksWellWithOthers]

There's two things I've noticed BMC drinkers might say to me when trying out some of my beers.

The first is "Ugh, what's that taste?" I tell them that I don't know what they're specifically talking about, but its probably just flavor.

The other one is "Yeah, I don't like it... it tastes just like Sam Adams"

"Sam Adams? Um, which Sam Adams?"

"Just Sam Adams"

 

[liquiditynerd]

hah, most peeps toss the bad batches. I bottle them up "SPECIAL". Then everyone of those lushes that suck down all the hard work, most importantly the wait, and they won't touch the real deal. Ya'll had me laughin all the way through this thread!

 

[ChshreCat]

I told a friend I was getting into brewing and he asked if I could make a Bud Lite. I told him I could easily make something just like Bud lite. It wouldn't even take any equipment. I won't say how I make it, but "I make it myself".

 

[niquejim]

I occasionaly get the, "Hey cn you brew me a american lager?" I always respond, "yes" in a calm voice and i do not mind doing it. But it annoys me when the same person says over and over..."Hey can you brew me a nice rice beer I have been wanting you to brew?" Ok as my beer information is swirling around in my head I think...okay he probably likes something like a Bud that uses rice and is crisp and light. I know he loves those Japanese beers that use a lot of rice. So i respond, "I can't brew lagers..


Why do you say yes If you can't lager? And why do you get angry if after you say yes they ask you do brew it?

 

[tdavisii]

i say to piss him off actually bottle and carbonate some urine. Cool it and serve it. Once he drinks it and gets pissed tell him the edge gets taken off when lagered but as you stated before you cant lager.
