MD spring brew day

[Ryan_PA]

Looking at the pics again, for a brew day, we sit down a lot.

 

[Madman]

hehehehe yeah, there was some sitting going on, thought my feet hurt like hell from all the standing I did when there were no cameras around.

No worries about bailing, it's not like you live a million miles away if you want to hang some other time

Great pics from the brewday. Really enjoyed the low key atmosphere this past time 'round.

Ok, we know there's a good brewday happening when:

1) More bottles than you can count are lying around the garage. Plus side: I got more wine bottles and 22oz for mead. Minus: I'm now stockpiling 12oz for whoever wants to pick them up next brew day.

2) I inherited more clothes than when I started.
a. Sweatshirt in the garage -- Ryan called and claimed this one
b. Pair of shoes in the basement -- Ben claimed those
c. Single white sock left on a chair in the dining room -- yet unclaimed

On a bright note - we did some damage to the lemonade mead keg. it was about 4g when we started, but Mike thinks there's barely a gallon or so left.

lemonade MEADE!!!!

 

[Ryan_PA]

I think I may have put a hurting on the applewine too. I really think that is what got me drunk.

That lemonade mead was awesome mixed with the pale ale. But I also think it was why I went home and zoned out on the couch for 4 hours.

I didn't even try the applewine but I did have too many lemonade meads

zoned out huh....

 

[jmulligan]

zoned out huh....

Yup. I put Willy Wonka on in the background and just kind of laid there.

 

[Ryan_PA]

If by zoned out, you mean passed out in your own filth, then I zoned out hardcore when I got home.

 

[Madman]

We wound up stopping at the Waffle House on the way home.

MMMmmmm.... hasbrowns and crud!

 

[claphamsa]

anyone need some Trappist ale yeast? you can come scrap it off the ceiling in my basement

 

[jmulligan]

Yeah, mine clogged the airlock twice before I hooked up a blowoff tube. Doing fine now, actually not bubbling very vigorously, although that could be because my blowoff tube is like 4 feet long.

 

[claphamsa]

moved mine upstairs for moar heat!

 

[JetSmooth]

Man, I'm so pissed I was out of town when y'all did this. I'm just in Forest Hill.

Oh well. Next year.

 

[Madman]

We do these fairly often, Jet. Check the forum for the summer one.

 

[JetSmooth]

:rockin: Excellent!

Hey if anyone is still checking this thread, here's some fyi: Allagash brewmaster Rob Tod will be at Frisco Cantina & Grill in Columbia, MD this Wednesday for Pint Night.

I used to live out in Clarksville. I didn't know this place existed. Is it in the old Hard Times Cafe location? It looks like it's at least in that strip. I prob won't make it out tomorrow, but I will definitely put it at the top of the list for next time I'm out that way. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Sedge]

Not sure about Hard Times, but its in the same strip as Pub Dog. I found it randomly with the Find Craft Beer iphone app. I was hungry on my way from Gaithersburg to Philly and found Pub Dog to be too loud and obnoxious. The app pointed me to Frisco and it was awesome. Good enchilada, great beer.

 

[adx]

The old Hard Times was turned into Pub Dog, but Frisco is in the same location. Frisco is much better than Pub Dog.

 

[claphamsa]

so........ whose ready for brewday?

 

[Yunus]

This brewday already happened.

 

[claphamsa]

can it happen again?

 

[Yunus]

can it happen again?

Yes but we will need 2 things. First is 1.21 gigawatt of power. Second is you need to trade in the Mustang for a vehicle that can go 88 MPH. :rockin:

 

[claphamsa]

your words wound me......

 

[jmulligan]

Yes but we will need 2 things. First is 1.21 gigawatt of power. Second is you need to trade in the Mustang for a vehicle that can go 88 MPH. :rockin:

My car's from 1993 but it probably can't go 88 mph...does that even out?
