I like this time at night on HBT

[CreamyGoodness]

I didnt. I think before I do my next brew I am going to have to watch a video on hydrometer 101, because I have been brewing all this time without one.

Weird tale but a common one I am sure. When I first started brewing I was forever taking samples to see where I was in the fermentation. Then once I got a system down I quit taking them before bottling and only to check my starting gravity. Then one day I dropped it and then for months I never checked at all.

Now for some reason I am checking sg and fg and recording them in a brew log. Is the beer any better well no but I still do it.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

By the way, bottling from a pot with an autosyphon is a PITA but a lot of fun.

Adam: "pump more! no hold on! a little more! ack, it got excited."

I definitely got some primed stout foam on my nose that way.

Long story with too much explaining necessary for this type of conversation. Basically I gave her a break on something a few days ago and today she was willing to let it bite me in the ass with one of my bosses. From now on, she's doing everything correctly, which is what I had to tell her in a raised, stern voice. I actually stopped a LT from talking when I started getting pissed. He told me later he was very pleased with what I said and how I handled it.

No good deed goes unpunished

I love some good solid confrontation at work.

Of course you do, you're 6'13...

I never use my size to intimidate people here.. I just kick their asses with mind bullets

Everytime I go to Walmart they're out of mind bullets.

 

[Subsailor]

Would that be for a bolt action, semi-auto or assualt type mind? What is the capacity of the mental magazine? How quick can you quip?

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I would say I have a mind flintlock. Usually the quip comes a few seconds after the hammer has already come down and stuck the flashpan spark.

You sure aren't going to find a mental bullet at Walmart here, Challenge yes, bullets no.

 

[Obliviousbrew]

I have a mental machine gun.... unfortunately I ran out of ammo in the late 90´s (those were some crazy times).

I stole them. I have deep pockets in my favorite dark hoodie.

 

[BobbiLynn]

That bastard!!! WTH? I'm not even trying to catch you right now, call yourself the opossum! I called you possum! You don't deserve the extra o!! Trap is not even set, just something to tease you with food inside and you can't get to it, mister opossum! Just wait until I allow you access with a trail of food you can't resist! You are mine, just plain possum.

I'd say my mind weapon is more of a pen gun. It fires easily, without warning, sometimes prematurely, and hits it's target occasionally.

At my age, my mind tends to be more like a pen. Leaks ink in my pocket, doesn't quite write what I think I'm saying and then leads to one massive vowel movement.

So that's what I have to look forward to. Great....

Just dawned on me. Tomorrow my free premium membership starts. Got an article published. I was going to use a dancing banana to show how excited I am, but TohperM seems to have used them all up.

How does one go about getting a free premium membership without prostituting your wife on the Internet?

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I thought about posting m'self in boneyard after my boxers exploded. Figured someone somewhere would enjoy it. The wife disapproved.

It's a premium membership, not a Lifetime Supporter membership. Hence, no ****ies required. Haven't you seen the article submission announcement? You could do one on how not to break a hydrometer.

No, I haven't! I could definitely do a write up on that

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Or how to accessorize your brew day emerald green dress!

 

[BBL_Brewer]

I had just finished a write up when they made the announcement. Worked out great for me. I forgot to include pics though, and I was pretty sure they wouldn't approve it. Then I got a little surprise in my inbox one day. Free beer is good, but I likey free HBT. Hey, looks like we got some more bananas in "Awwright" - Quagmire.

Does anyone play around with airsoft stuff? This vest is marketed for airsoft, but I'm considering it for other reasons. Anyone have one or something similar?
