I like this time at night on HBT

[BobbiLynn]

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.

Dang, yeah, you been at work all this time. Time must go by very slowly....

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

And that is the way I am leaning right now. 150 bucks delivered is not bad I think

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!

First concert I went to in a dome was Styx back in the day. I have been a fan ever since

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.

There is a thread here about getting old and I think it fits me perfect. My sleep patterns kind of suck.

I'll have to go read that one. In bed by 9 and up before the sun? Nap in the afternoon. I feel like I'm staying young most of the time, hell, I've been 39 for years. Once tried putting duct tape on my face to clear up some wrinkles, is that a sign?

Daylight now and drizzling rain. Supposed to rain most of the day. Not gonna stop me from brewing though. Already have one fermenter ready to go and about to free up another one.

Yup I do the nap thing as well but I wake at 2 or 3 in the morning. I really do not need to brew anytime soon since I got cases piled up about everywhere. Still if I get that 60 quart pot I could do 10 gallon batches. Can you imagine bottling a 100 bottles in one day. Whew

 

[snaps10]

I brew 12 gal at a time and hate bottling. I kegged 20 gallons of two different beers about a month ago and still haven't bottled the remaining beer yet. I like having the 20 or so beers bottled for times when I let the pipeline close.

I love brewing in the rain BL. There's something about it that just seems right.

 

[BobbiLynn]

Alright, time to suck it up, don the rain gear and get outside to start cleaning my equipment. I've got cases of beer piling up now too. Gonna transfer my corn flake brew after just 4 days, fermentation was extremely active within hours of finishing it and looks to have really died down now. Like I can really mess it up, 2-row, grits, rice and corn flakes, a little bittering hops. Fermentation was active almost immediately and really died down now. Need that fermenter for some real beer. Just hoping I'll get the usual morning delivery by UPS. Package weighs 60 pounds(on truck for delivery) and trying to remember what all I bought!!!

I bought a freezer to turn into a keezer but my wife thought it more important to keep silly things like food in it:cross: But once I start kegging I will go to ten gallon batches I think.

I do not mind bottling the 6 gallon batches I do now but I think doubling it would just suck

Cant wait to see how the cornflake beer turns out.

Send him an example and he might add it, you never know.

Think he dreams up all these emoticons on his own? ipe:

Visions of coffee enemas as I slept motivated me this morning!

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Janet Jackson used to get them regularly. She claimed they got rid of her "sad cells".

 

[Varmintman]

Yuck.

 

[BobbiLynn]

I tasted the corn flake brew while transferring and tastes like breakfast of champions!! Actually, hard to describe, tastes like beer for the most part. Forgot I put honey in there too.

UPS finally got here to and first mash of the day going. It's going to be late tonight before I finish trying to do 2 batches back-to-back. Hopefully I won't fall asleep during a crucial point, like the boil. No time for a nap today. No rest for the weary. Still raining but just a light drizzle, enough to leave spots on my glasses.

Have you tried some rainex?

 

[Airplanedoc]

Bobbilynn must move pretty fast if Rainex will clear her glasses. Should be no problem brewing a double batch.

Should just bead and roll right off. You don't have to be moving 60 mph. Gravity is still in effect, no? It was just a joke anyway. Sometimes I just like to argue.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Yeah well you're wrong.

Who asked you? Don't you have something weird to go cook.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Teehee... hard to argue with someone who refuses to argue

 

[Airplanedoc]

I just had a random thought. I rainex safe on whatever the plastic is they make glasses out of these days?

Don't know.
But you need to do something.
You're dropping random "s" characters somewhere on the floor.

Watch out, they are slippery!

 

[Cygnus_X1]

Speaking of chemical reactions.
I did it, I had a boilover and the 70's vintage linoleum is sticky, sticky no matter what we use.
What's the best wort remover for floors and appliances?

 

[BBL_Brewer]

I don't think it will hurt the plastic itself. However, I have a bottle of rainex anti-fog. It says not to apply to anything that has a scratch resistant coating, so that rules out most plastic glasses right there.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say....water

I'd guess you probably don't have a problem with wort residue but the linoleum melted a bit from the hot wort. Time for some ceramic tile?

It was a fleeting moment.

 

[BobbiLynn]

Don't panic!!! We are back in business here! Double brew day was bad idea but going for it... rain finally stopped, maybe next time the rain-ex. Gotta go... things happening....
