I like this time at night on HBT

[Dan]

Looks like the same one on Revvy's ugly junk...I mean his corona mill ugly junk.

10 hours on the bathroom floor with coffee up the backside should require an intervention. Not by me, but just saying.

Not to take this thread off track which is pretty much impossible. The couple has been discouraged practicing this from their family and doctors.

Yuck.

Lets get back to SS pots.. and not think about the porcelain god these two idiot let loose in after their unique coffee high.

Just searched. The 44 quart SS pot they had for $62 dollars isn't even listed now. Should have bought them when I had the chance. Let that be a lesson to you V-Man

I just picked up the 44 QT Steamer Basket last week to use for my jump into BIAB All Grain this weekend. Wish I would have bought them together, but wasn't thinking that far ahead.

The ones on ebay are $109 with free shipping. They're basically the same as the buyou classic.

I wish I could find the diameter of the pots. I am thinking a tall skinny one would limit my boil off rate which I am having to deal with now

Hind sight is indeed 20-20. Look on the bright side. Now you're all set!

I am thinking I would be fine with a 40 qt but the wife is pushing the 60 qt. I wonder what she has in mind

A lot of beeer!!

Well dang I am not going to buy tonight I think. I got more beer than I can drink as it is right now and my keg still works in a pinch. I just hate lugging the keg around loaded up with hot wort. I guess I need to make a brew stand next:rockin:

So out of control. I even built a pulley system to hang from the underside of the deck to lift the steamer basket out to drain and squeeze the grains after mashing. Seven's BIAB tutorial sticky is pretty good.

Sounds to me like good Operational Risk Management. I'd call that smart. Continue to lift a very heavy hot mash basket out by hand. Then maybe you're out of control.

Maybe it's just me. Time to pick up this thread..

Fat Bottomed Girls anybody?




Edit: On a side note. One year I was back home on leave. My dad was down in the dumps. My mom had died about a year earlier. Dad wasn't doing so well himself at this point. Last stages of cancer but he didn't tell anybody about it..it wasn't his first go around with that evil disease and he had no fight left in him after mom passed.

That's beside the point. The two of us took a trip to St Louis together from central Illinois. He slept along the way quite a bit. And then this song. Either I had it on cassette or it came up on the radio. He woke up, perked up! Listened to the whole song and laughed. He asked if it was new... Hell no it wasn't. I told him "Dad, I listened to this as a kid 10 years ago". He asked why he had never heard it. Long story short he got a kick out of it.

Just thought I'd share.

Sam Adams gives me a hangover, even only a couple.
(Not unless you are talking about a "sneak up effect").

But I drink them because they are my favorite bottles.
Had some Sam on the tap for my half-century birthday dinner out tonight and it reminded me of why I liked it in the first place.
But only two 12 ouncers!

My go-to is odd, and seems to have no effect in the morning.
Don't knock until you have tried it:
CANNED Yuengling Lager poured into a traditional glass.
Not the bottle, and not Black & Tan.
Just right, not too heavy and enough flavor to enjoy.

Its not the hangovers...

Well, I bought the Bayou Classic brew kettle in the spring and have been very happy with it for my biab.

They play this on the radio a lot. I kind of like it. I'm really digging this YouTube music. Can't download MP3's anymore, but you can listen to whatever you want on YouTube.

To those wiser folks here I am thinking of getting a new brew pot and found these. 6 mil thick and it seems pretty cheap. Hah I picked a crappy photo so here is a link http://www.samsclub.com/sams/60-qt-aluminum-stock-pot/prod5150480.ip

Very similar to what I'm using.

Of course someone will march in and say "NO!!! Nothing but stainless!"

Styx Come Sail Away

My bride took me to see them at the SC State Fair Sept of 2011.
I was blown away at how good they were.
Lawrence Gowan, the new keyboardist, is outstanding.

DeYoung tried hard to kill that band.
Good riddance!

Up before sunrise again. My supplies get delivered today. Usually UPS runs before noon. Hubby going back to hospital for another procedure today, not going with him this time because it's so tiresome, nephew will haul him up there. Gonna try to brew around 10 gallons but limited to doing 5 gallons at once. So will have to be back-to-back. But first I have to wait for the rest of the world to wake up.

 

[BobbiLynn]

There's a ghost in my closet and he stole my other sock... maybe I'll go out to the shed and look for my poetry while I'm waiting. Or get my dog to go out into the world and start licking everyone's eyes open. He's really good at it.

 

[snaps10]

Good luck with today's session, and to your hubby too. I will say it kind of sucks seeing you sign off before bed, and on in the morning, all in one shift.

Or maybe I'll just sit here and rack up some posts then crown myself queen of this thread. Was thinking about a poem I wrote when feeling really down. Couple of the lines:
It sounds easy to walk when you're going downhill,
But it's harder than you'd think when you've lost all your will.

Don't even remember what I was so depressed about when I wrote it. Couple other lines I remember:
In the mornings I can't hear the birds,
I can't read my paper because I can't see the words.

Title was courage and it ended on a positive note. Something about be brave, be strong, keep your courage otherwise you'll end up lost in this world. Not sure why I'm thinking about that poem today, maybe because hubby going back to the hospital.

Hurry up sun, I need your light to guide me!!!

And how about a random song:
