Masstoberfest 2014

[Bulls Beers]

I wish I could make this. It sounds like a blast.

Eh, it's ok...

If I wasn't washing my car that day I would totally consider coming.

I don't think any of those pictures are real.

A clean car is important.

 

[nhwrecker]

Wow. You're welcome. If it wasn't for me rebuilding the cup last year none of those pictures would have been possible.

I think I might have a picture of it sitting in the shed behind the lawn furniture and under the bike. Right next to the shovel and bag of lime.

 

[paulthenurse]

If you hadn't dropped it you wouldn't have had to fix it. Just sayin'

So you were the one who put the pile of manure on the inside of the cup...yes, for my addition I had to take it apart. It is together again and only about 10 extra screws leftover when I was done. It should be good.

Hey, where's that milk stout recipe of yours? That was tasty.

You, sir, are just jealous that I was able to harness the awesome power of the Masstoberfest Cup and you couldn't.

Got some nice seats to the game by letting the cheerleaders touch it. Now if they would stop stinking up the field.

Oops, you left it down there one the sidelines Paulie...

 

[paulthenurse]

Giselle asked me to leave it, she wanted to stand next to it for a while. She doesn't get a chance to hang out with something as cool and sexy as the Masstoberfest Cup every day you know.

[Daddymem]

The haters gonna hate, but we can't hear them over the noise at the after party, can we Paul?

Paul? Where did you go?

 

[Bulls Beers]

Cape, Pictures don't lie... Jesus, that cups been everywhere. Paul, maybe you can have Gisele make an appearance at Masstoberfest??

 

[Daddymem]

Sorry, didn't catch that last one....dropped my phone in the pool. Paul said he would dive down and get it. Uh, Paul, that's not where I dropped it.

Umm, Paul.... That doesn't look like the lovely Alice.

 

[paulthenurse]

She does from where I'm looking.

 

[Melana]

Agreed. Mort... recipe please?

 

[nhwrecker]

Hey all,
here's the recipe I used - a slightly tweaked version of Yooper's famous Oatmeal Stout. Below was cut and pasted from BeerSmith, so please let me know if anyone needs/wants additional info.

And sorry to clog up a thread started by PTN with Facts. So, in advance, GFY.

I love Yoops oatmeal stout.

 

[nhwrecker]

Hmm. now that I think about it, you asked about the milk stout, not the oatmeal stout. I had forgotten that I brewed both within a few weeks of each other, and stopped looking for recipes when I found the one for the other stout. Here's the recipe for the milk stout - based on a clone recipe for Left Hand Brewings Milk stout. I thought it a little sweet, and would probably scale back a bit on the lactose during the next batch.

[Melana]

Mort do you always use the 0.2 oz or do you round to the nearest half?

 

[smurfjuice]

Ha!!!

 

[paulthenurse]

Wouldn't that be rounding to the nearest quarter oz?

Grassyass Herr Wrecker.

Who has the Damn Drinkable IPA recipe? That was really good too. Oh and that different version of Graff that showed up late?

 

[Melana]

Who has the Damn Drinkable IPA recipe?

Either PTN, PTO, or Yeager has it.

 

[nhwrecker]

Hi All,
those numbers came out like that when I scaled the 5 gallon batch recipe up to 11 gallons in Beer Smith and I never bothered redoing the numbers, but I scaled them up or down to the nearest oz, or pound, such as the lactose. I used 2 #, but thought that was too much.

I checked my notes too, and used Wyeast 1028 London Ale on 5 gallons, and 1084 Irish yeast on the other 5. The beer I brought last year was with the London Ale yeast, and was a bit sweeter than the Irish ale yeast.

 

[Melana]

Thanks Mort!

 

[paulthenurse]

Hey AZ,
I just checked for you. Only $474 round trip from Phoenix to Boston. You should have bought your ticket earlier and saved some bucks. That's OK, you can stay at Brian's place and save money that way.

 

[Krieger]

Hey what time is this thing starting?

 

[ComcastWineRookie]

some people show up around 6AM

 

[Krieger]

Yeah... I'm pretty sure my wife would try to kill me if I left that early because I'd be leaving her with my 5 month old, and 7 year old neither of which had woken up yet. Good to know that it's pretty much show up whenever.

On the plus side I convinced her to bake something for you guys. She has chosen Guinness Brownies from scratch. Should be really good.
