I like this time at night on HBT

What a Ride!

Cool pic. The only sub I've been in is one parked off the wharf in San Francisco.

I think about the human powered subs the confederates built during the civil war. That must have been interesting.

Totally agree, those Civil War boats were something else, basically semi-submerged torpedo boats. Sneak up close to the enemy and attach an explosive, back off a bit and detonate it.
Does not sound like a good time to me.

It really shouldn't take that long. Bunch it up, hold it at the further point back, let go, repeat

Finally got it. And got it put together and wanting to brew. Have to wait a few days though to get a empty fermenter

 

[Airborneguy]

I need to get on visiting the Intrepid finally. Maybe in the spring I'll take my daughters there. There is a sub parked right next to it. As an added bonus, we have a space shuttle there now too.

I am a horribly impulse online shopper when on Ambien. A box arrived for me the other day from Amazon containing a cookbook, a hardhat, and a pair of toe socks. And that isn't just me trying to be humorous.

God that is bad.. At least the stuff I buy is sort of remotely useful. The cookbook isn't so weird. Unless is was a Greek Vegan cookbook or something like that.

 

[BobbiLynn]

Does anyone here know what happened to my trub? I had fruitflies from not carrying out the compost soon enough, a blown airlock and 2.5 gallons of dark ale in the 3 gallon glass carboy. I looked after 2 weeks, with lots of active fermenting early on, no trub, no yeast anywhere. Clear as can be. Tasted it and it was vinegar. So the vinegar ate the yeast?

It was actually a really nice cookbook for a steal, so all in all it wasn't too bad. Definitely one of the strangest boxes I've ever had show up though.

Wish the socks would have been the Smart Wool ones, at least. Probably would have been if I knew what to buy out of the thousands of kinds they apparently make.

Which yeast strain?

A guy I worked with claimed he was on the sub with the highest tonnage sunk in peace time. Apparently somewhere near the straights of Gibralter, the captain thought he got hung up in a fishermens net and dove the sub to break away, when in fact is was a submerged tow line between a salvaged ship and its tow boat. By the time they were done they pulled both under.

Same guy (Chuck) brought in a nice photo album of his time on Subs to show all of us during a staff meeting another coworker (Dave abt 27yo) who was also on a sub. The Dave flipped thru the album and finally looked at Chuck and asked "who's navy were you in again?" Chuck replied "The US Navy same as you", Dave then asked "who are all these ratty looking guys with beards and shaggy hair?" The room busted up laughing. Chuck then had to explain that for most of submarine history, you were not required to shave when at sea, and that the rule had changed right as he was finishing up his last tour. Then Chuck had one of those oh my gosh, I'm old moments.

Safale us-05 I think it's called. Just the basic thing the kit came with.

Ha! Makes sense. IIRC, requiring men to be clean shaven was originally enacted as a response to chemical warfare, so that gas masks would get a proper seal. I'd imagine that it's not too much of a concern on a submarine.

I though he said it was lack of drinking water issue. Subsailor might be able to clarify.

 

[BobbiLynn]

I'd love that. I'd seriously consider coming up. I used to do some great canoe trips on the Suwanee.

I'm closer. You can stay down the road at my best friends house then we can hang out and go kayaking or something. You must understand, I can't invite men as overnight guests like you guys can with each other. Knock on the front door and if mother likes you, you can stay and fish in the lake. I'm sure she'd like you.

 

[Varmintman]

OK I heated some mash water and filled it up with enough to do a 6 gallon batch accounting for the water absorption. Going to see how much temp I lose over a hour.

Yay no batch sparging for me now. But I have to learn a new set up

I hope you don't lose much temp. Any back up plan if it goes too low?

 

[Varmintman]

I will find out in a few minutes. Not to worried though. My last cooler the insulation got wet and it lost heat fast. This one is big enough I can do no sparge mashes

 

[Varmintman]

2 degrees over a hour with water and no grain. I think if I put a blanket on the lid it will keep 1 degree over a hour.

Whoot no sparge for me any more

Now that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me here. I really wish I could take you up on that offer.

So the possum is back to his old antics, terrorizing my dog. The dog is sniffing under the house, into the crawl space, that's where the possum lives. The thing comes running out, they almost knocked each other in the foreheads. My dog yelped, ran to me and hid behind my legs. The possum ran across the yard, looked back and I saw his big eyes glowing, then climbed over the fence. Did not realize opossums could climb like that. Going to reset the trap, much better this time, and cut down some of his favorite foliage to camouflage it. My dog is pissed and said I must do this.

Maybe one day it will work out that you can.

What happened to music for tonight? I hope no one is waiting for me to select something.

 

[bottlebomber]

Thug Life

 

[BobbiLynn]

That's beautiful, BB. :cross:

 

[Airplanedoc]

Looks pretty OG to me.

 

[bottlebomber]

Haha it's my wife's.. Had you guys fooled all along. I've got my Brony Gear My Little Pony case coming in a few days.

Late great Billy Thorpe. Great for late night when my eyes get blurry.

 

[BobbiLynn]

Okay, a song to start us off "this time of night", who doesn't love old time rock and roll? The kind of music that soothes your soul. :fro:

 

[BobbiLynn]

Late great Billy Thorpe. Great for late night when my eyes get blurry.

See, me and you on the same wavelength, posting "first" song of night at the same time, well within one minute. Will listen to yours now.

 

[Airborneguy]

Bottlebomber, in that pic you look exactly like someone I was in the Army with. Like to the point of being related.
