My parents like Simon and Garfunkel. Even still, thanks for the post.

How do we embed videos from YouTube anyway?

You had this video embedded properly just a couple minutes ago:



Just copy and paste the url. Remove the "s" from https: if you were logged into to youtube at the time.

 

[Rotor_Head]

Well ****. Must be the beer. To be fair, that was my intent but never posted on my screen as I intended it. FML.

 

[LabRatBrewer]

BTW, I like the cars in the video you had posted. And the women's style of the 1920's/1930's is the best.

 

[Rotor_Head]

I just read you're on the Board of Directors for Ca Homebrewers!? Wow. That is COOL! I barely got a bucket with some crap in it! I just hope it doesn't taste like dirty socks when it comes out. I guess you've been at it a while?

 

[LabRatBrewer]

Nothing wrong with brewing in a bucket. I started in 1986. Doesn't seem so long ago, but I guess it has been awhile.

I really hope I can learn this trade to a fairly well and put out some good hooch. Quite frankly, I really hope to be able keg ever 2 weeks. While I am far from that goal, the resources are in place but I need move soon so I'm limited to a smaller bottling operation. We'll see what it gives us and I can't wait to see what comes out.

 

[LabRatBrewer]

What do have brewing now?

 

[Rotor_Head]

What do have brewing now?

Right now I used an LME red ale kit, added a pureed @ 170 for 9 min 3lb pack of blackberries to a 2ndary after 5 days of primary. I CAN'T WAIT for bottling and result. Unfortunately, it's gonna take another month to drink due to bottling..... I can't wait to keg again....

 

[LabRatBrewer]

That sounds intresting. What was pureed at 170?

 

[Rotor_Head]

That sounds intresting. What was pureed at 170?

Yes, sir it was. 170 for 9 minutes and mashed in the pot with both pot and masher sanitized. I'm crazy about sanitizing and still learning to not fear the foam. It still seems counter intuitive to mix any sanitizer with a mixture designed to grow microorganisms. Still, all I'm left with is I'm gonna have to see how it urns out. I fermented the red ale LME kit as advertised for 5 days and moved it to secondary. That's when I did the blackberries. Now I'll set it for 2 more weeks then bottle for 2 weeks and we'll see what we have. I hope.

Thanks to both of you! The smoke is tricking you by hiding my ugly. I love cigars. I just spent more than I should have on an order online.

So, I'm having one of those lazy Saturdays, where I can't seem to motivate for anything. I did take my dog on a really long one hour walk this morning, but I've been glued to the recliner ever since. I didn't even work the second half of the week, so I'm not so sure why I feel so lazy. Maybe my B12 and coffee will kick in, and I'll get off my butt. And then again, maybe I won't...

Saturday Nite!

Woot! HBT is still STRONG! Our forum is blossoming. What a great place to spend a few minutes. Do you guys/gals know we have 198,500 members? Man, that's a lot of homebrewers.

Hymn to Freedom, 1962. How can any red-blooded American not be attracted to a song with that title. For your late nite soundtrack, let freedom ring with the jazzy piano of Oscar Peterson. (anybody else think this sounds just like Vince Guaraldi?)

BTW, I interviewed Charlie Papazian yesterday. I posted a transcription of the interview to the forum's home page. Check it out!

Excellent work. Charlie ' s book got me started back in the 80's. I remember building a Zapap. Thanks for the interview.

Edit: did you do the interview on the phone or in person?

 

[Rotor_Head]

Damn it I got drunk! Purely by accident, of course. I blame the Shock Top Pretzel Wheat and Newcastle Blonde.

Wow! I think it was around 50k when I first signed up. Pretty soon we wont be able to buy beer in stores anymore

Did you notice that you were posting in "Drunken Ramblings and Mindless Mumbling"? I have posted many stupid things under that category. You seemed well in control to me. Try again sometime when you are more drunker.

I had a relatively productive weekend. I got some firewood for the shop that should get me through until spring. Did some tile and fit in drinking a few beers. Also ate too much. I am supposed to be not working but I have nearly a full week coming up.

Kids have a 2-hour delay for school tomorrow because of the cold. It seems like it may be the end of sub-zero temps in a few days judging by the extended forecast. I'm not gettin' out the flip-flops yet but 20's and 30's would be nice.

Cheers all

Hey late nighters. If you are an AHA member then remember voting is open even late at night. VOTE YOOPER.! (Lorena Evans).

I did notice. Next time I'll double down on the suds and then just start writing a strict stream of consciousness. Challenge Accepted!

As long as your consciousness is mostly nonsenseousness you'll be in the right place. At least I might understand you

Were I not working tomorrow, I would already be working on that! Ceste la vie. Next weekend though. Maybe you should give us an example to go off of. Hell raising is encouraged, as per your avatar.

By phone. When I contacted him, he said he was travelling that week and couldn't talk. Turns out he was within a mile of me at the time. His father lives near me. We could have met if I had mentioned where I was calling from.

Yeah, I'm working tomorrow too. I have my own business so I have no problem going in drunk No. Seriously, I never go to work drunk. I start drinking when I get there. It's a write-off then. But to be completely honest, I don't even drink.

You know where my avatar is from right?

The new firewood is great! It's 93 degrees in my shop and I'm about to boil 20 gallons of water that I keep on top the wood stove for some humidity. That will be like a 120 degree temperature change when I head for the house. Hope I survive it...

So close. I've the fortune and misfortune to work with many celebrities and even past US Presidents. Charlie - I would have been star stuck.

I don't know where the avatar is from though I expect I should.... That's great you have your own place. I'd like to own my own business some day. I think that would be great to run your own program. Good on you for being able to take care of your own business on your own.

That's a bummer. I'm sure he will be back to visit his father again. Maybe a second "live on HBT" interview is in order. Or just kidnap his father...
