Probably not much cooler, despite their reputation.

Plums (5 varieties)from the windbreak across the field, planted by the village. Even with high temps and almost no rain, the plum tree branches are hanging low with all the fruit. And this fall there will be a massive hazelnut harvest also. These are community assets, anyone can help themselves.

We started our obx trip last week with rain our first day, beautiful the rest of the week, then we finished it with a quick storm, this pic was from the evening of our last day there.

We used to vacation out on the OBX, up in Corolla. It had just been built out at the time, with the road dead-ending just above. If it's like everywhere else development has likely pushed quite a ways further north by now.

 

[bailey mountain brewer]

We go south though I've heard good things about Corolla.. we started around nags head but got to congested, we've been going down to Avon for the past several years, much more chill, less busy, but still close enough to markets and whatnot.

And "Cunning Chemistry" would be a great name for a Norse Death Metal rock band.

Perhaps a mead.

Medieval Flashbangs ain't bad either.

We've planted some fruit trees this spring and summer, including a plum variety developed in Russia said to be able to deal with our winters.

I for one, will welcome the arrival of General Winter...

That's much hotter than here, if I'm reading it correctly. We are around 30 in the afternoon, 22 in the evening.

 

[Erik the Anglophile]

It's a land of contrasts up here. When it's cold, it's REALLY cold and when it's hot it's REALLY hot...

Never seen a recipe on a beer can/bottle before - much less one that is more detailed than many that are published as "complete" recipes (although there is a typo in the recipe.)

Brew on

Sadly, you lost me at two hr mash and 70m boil, not to mention 8-9% ABV.

It’s a new Czech hop.

 

[corkybstewart]

Please tell me you're drinking some outstanding beer there.

This was my favorite in Brugge.

I missed that one, so there are at least two typos. I was looking at the "1.08" (1.080) on the FG range

Edit: ... and they just keep coming, the more I look: "Mt. Mood" hops??? Also, gotta wonder why they added amylase enzymes to a mash that should have more than enough diastatic power. And, 158°F is too low for a mash-out.

Brew on

At the start 10-12 gallons!

Did I say it was a “good recipe “? Hmmm?

Corrrrriander!

If I'd known the correct spelling of "coriander", I probably would have picked up on that one as well.

Is that an actual photograph of real cans, or is it actually an AI concoction?
I can't tell but I'm leaning towards AI concoction...

You could be right, IDK. There’s probably more about the recipe and the brewer on the Spike website, they’ve been sharing these sorts of images for a few years now.

Knowing that 99% of their customers have never once seen an actual beer recipe this may just be their way of having a little fun.

"Use a handful of dirt instead of yeast"
"Add drywall"

[Brockness Monster]

Since we are picking it apart, Wyeast should be capitalized as well as HERMS since it is an acronym. So many unnecessary things going on with that recipe aside from the errors.

Despite being a lousy band they still went ahead and released a live concert video I happen to have:

I thought their concerts started off pretty cleanly, but they got filthy towards the end of their career and Mom threw the whole mess out after she saw some Tipper Gore thing on CSPAN.

Yeah...my understanding was that they tried to capitalize on the early 'digital revolution' and after a subtle name change, released a single...but they couldn't afford a CD burner;

...the masses were only buying computers then for free porn and free music so they never made any money.
