...the part about DMS suggests a homebrewer to me.

"On Earth, DMS is only produced by life brewers not boiling long enough"

This opens up more possibilities for Space-x and it's Starship! I knew my Raptor Red would catch on.

 

[DuncB]

I'd also heard life could be brewing on the planet.

Or not chilling fast enough...

Cheers!

Wait, are you suggestig he was abducted by aliens or is an alien? Maybe he just went home, or to visit Elvis. Maybe comes from a planet covered in ethanol, and is just trying to produce a comfortable environment....

Strong possibility, there is DMS on this planet after all, suggesting a homebrewer present on this planet.

Is there oxygen as well? The LODO crowd could head over thataway then and leave us in peace.

How do we know he wasn't the abductor?

Hi Everybody,

I know I haven’t responded to the thread in a while and for that I apologize.

I do have some unfortunate news, after reaching out by mail I finally got a response today. Our dear friend @bracconiere has passed away.

A representative from his family called me this morning and gave me the news. He said a few people had reached out and he was just now getting back to people.

I want to respect his and his families privacy so that’s all I’ll say here. I am shocked and saddened as I’m sure most of you are, he was young (mid 40’s). The representative did let me know that his beer equipment was taken by the new owner of his home and a charitable donation was made in his name from the sale of personal belongings/house per his wishes.

So while I’m not really sure how to conclude but I will say this. I miss my friend and his crazy antics and I hope he’s resting easy drinking the good stuff with the people he loved who passed before him.

 

[Kent88]

Wow. That's unfortunate news. It's also really strange to have this kind of resolution to a HBT friend's disappearance.

 

[mac_1103]

That is very sad news. He will be missed. In fact, he already has been missed as evidenced by this thread.

If you don't think it's too much of an intrusion, do you happen to know the name of the charity? Just in case anyone here might like to memorialize their old buddy in that way.

 

[ba-brewer]

Thank you @Sammy86 for sharing the news even if it was not the kind of news I was hoping to hear about @bracconiere.

Thank you @seatazzz as well for starting this thread.

 

[day_trippr]

Well that's sad right there but tbh it is what I surmised. I could never believe someone with his huge on-line personality here suddenly ghosting the group.

Vaya con Dios, Bracconiere. You moved on to your next astral plane way too soon

 

[Kent88]

 

[BQ&W]

Cheers to Bracconiere! You will be missed.

I wasn’t given that information unfortunately. The representative who contacted me kept it pretty short and to the point.

 

[Konadog]

Thank you @Sammy86 for the unfortunate and sad news. I'm pouring one out for you buddy, RIP!

 

[Pkrd]

Sad news indeed.
I still think witness protection moved him on.

 

[BongoYodeler]

Sorry to hear this. I had hoped he was just taking an extended break, but after this long I started fearing the worst.

 

[AzOr]

Rest in peace, brother.

I’m sure Bracc would appreciate the following clip, based on his frugality. Which I appreciated.

 

[ba-brewer]

 

[Chorgey]

Thank you for the update @Sammy86 and thank you @seatazzz for starting this thread. Prior to the start of the thread, I did notice that @bracconiere was not participating in the forums, which, as you know, was totally out of his character.

I admit, that he drove me crazy at times but he will surely be missed.


Cheers!
Kevin

 

[Kent88]

I admit, that he drove me crazy at times but he is surely missed.

You aren't the only one who feels that way.

 

[wepeeler]

I never had much interaction with him, but very sad news nonetheless. Hope there's a never-ending tap with his name on it

 

[tracer bullet]

Such a cheerful guy, eager to learn and always willing to help. He'll be fondly remembered.

Cheers, Brac!

Somehow a bunch of onion cutting ninjas must have decided to sneak into my house tonight.

He knew how to malt his own barley, long story, lots of messages.
I like the idea that witness protection moved him on much better than this update.
