i may be upset

[Schlomo]

If the world ends tonight, i have 3 beers fermenting that i've not had even a glass of yet!

Im tempted to pull a sample of them each and try them in the 0.00001% chance the world does end..

Anyone else in my situation?

 

[lumpher]

yep. an american brown, an american premium lager, and an extra stout

 

[Schlomo]

Irish Red, Blonde and my own first recipe APA..

I'll have to pull a sample.. not too sure how they'll taste since i've already had quite a few of my porter and IPA tonight.. Oh well, it'll be worth it.

an american premium lager

Corn and rice? I've an American standard lager going now.

It is worth considering the same question as my friends pondered at Y2K and the end-of-the-world prophecies then:

Is the end of the world going to be in Eastern Time, or is it a rolling rapture - as each time zone clicks over to midnight, *poof*.

In theory, the apocalypse would probably use zulu time - in which case, it's already like 3 AM. Methinks you're going to get to enjoy your beer...

Ha oh i have no doubt i will be enjoying my beer, but i just wanted to make conversation. Plus, i may be drunk, im not sure.

Just wanted to see who had stuff fermenting away who had not tasted their final products.

just rice solids. no corn. getting 1 of these ready for new year's eve for the non-drinkers

Even worse here. I've got 30 lbs of malt + hops and yeast I picked up today that hasn't even made it that far. I suppose if the world ends I'll die scooping handfuls of grains and hops into my mouth. Maybe I'll drink the yeast too. Close enough, no?

 

[Golddiggie]

Time to pull a pint of my mocha porter and wave my private parts in the general direction of the Mayan's...

I have a big barleywine fermenting, an ESB ready to be kegged and batches of mead in different points of the process. I also have at least 100# of base malt and other assorted malts on hand. So even if the world does go to the crapper, I'm good.

Nobody wants to hear about your Bud Light clone..

I have 4 fermenters full, just dropped a keg, and have a recipe in the printer tray waiting. 1 beer is in secondary and ready for that keg. 1 cider made over the weekend. 1 popcorn pilsner about done with primary. 1 beer with an OG of 1.17 still going, need secondary, and then into oak barrel for a couple months.

Well, the day's not out yet, but it looks promising. If the world does end, that's 98# grain, 16 (almost 17)# hops and enough yeast for at least 10 - 20 batches right down the drain. Unfortunately I am not in a position to scoop handfuls of grain and hops into my mouth as I am about 1500 miles from said grain and hops.

 

[Homercidal]

Nope. All my beer is packaged and ready to drink, even if it is a bit young.

Wife indicated that it would be preferred if I got my brewing stuff done before the house was put in order to host holiday parties. And I agreed.

I'm not even thinking about my next batch.

 

[JonM]

I have an English bitter in the fermenter and ingredients for an English barleywine, which I'm going to throw onto the bitter's cake. AND I got some new fittings to try a cool new chilling trick.

 

[Schlomo]

Well that was anti-climactic. Survived the apocalypse and all i got was this lousy hangover!

Guess i'll be enjoying my fermenting brews

 

[CreamyGoodness]

So are we technically out of the woods?

This will be the fourth end of the world I have lived through, if not more that I have forgotten.

 

[Golddiggie]

Damned hippies and their Mayan calendars!! Might as well have been those damned Mongolians at my wall!

 

[Revvy]

It's beer's fault we're in this mess anyway.

Yep, that's how I want the aliens to find me in 10,000 years when they come discover our planet and see how life ended--in my basement, mouth full of hop rhizomes and maris otter, an overturned vial of WLP007 on the floor next to me. There'll be a smile on my face!

I'm counting on the my time off at home to get a bunch of brewing done. Need to bottle an APA and brew a stout and either a cream ale or an IPA. Well, I need to brew both, but probably won't get that done before the New Year. But maybe?

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I just want to remind everyone that if they fear meeting their maker with an abundance of beer in their possession, that I am happy to receive it in the mail for proper and rapid disposal.

 

[jerrodm]

Nope, I worship the ancient deity Saccharomyces--I don't doubt but that I will be welcomed into his yeasty embrace if and when the veil of this life is torn asunder...consider my stash an offering unto him, poured out (into my mouth) in remembrance of all the little guys who made its deliciousness possible.
