Re-introduction of Soperbrew

[AnonyBrew]

Hello everyone. I have been a homebrewer for over 2 years now and have recently moved all of my homebrew, equipment, and ingredients to Chandler, Arizona. It's all sitting in a Uhaul outside my hotel room right now.

 

[Schnitzengiggle]

All I can say is, I'm in Tucson, and I consider this pre-sub-hell, you being in Chandler are in sub-hell, and anyone living in the greater PHX area are simply in hell, it doesn't get much worse.

Chilling wort sucks here in pre-sub-hell, I can only imagine it is worse in sub-hell.

Welcome to AZ, and if I'm not mistaken...welcome back to hell.

Loser.....

That's a hell of a welcome back. Why don't you offer to let him borrow your pre-chiller and a bag ice?

All brewing is compromise. You work around the issues.

I'm trying to figure out what AZ did to have Soper as a new issue to deal with.

 

[Saccharomyces]

We didn't order that the first time around. Now again?!

Welcome to hell!

I miss the old Soperbrew. This one sucks.

"AZ" as in "AZ_IPA" or as in "Arizona" ?

maybe its SB1070 retaliation, I dunno...
Anyway, welcome to AZ, I hope to see you around at the monthly ASH meetings, maybe meet up for a pint somewhere. I would invite you out to my place for some homebrew but it would be about a 60 mile round trip for ya.

It's hot here...just sayin'!

Chilling my wort happens to be my biggest challenge.

I have absolutely no issues chilling wort at my place!

yeah, if I wanna pitch at 68F it takes about 40 lbs of ice which is roughly $5.

I roll with 40lb of ice as well, no worries chilling for me, its just part of my regular routine now, summer or winter.

Welcome (back?) from the northwestern section of Hell! ! !

I'm down with 60lbs. of ice and get to 72/74 fairly quickly. Ok, honestly I don't know exactly how long 'cause I'm multi-tasking.

Yeah, I usually rock 40-60lb of ice to get it down.. I played hooky today to brew, and grabbed 60lb of ice. There is some left over for me to ice down a few growlers to take to the pool.

Oh, and yeah.. its forkin HOT out there right now! I need to start brewing at 4am from now on =(

Im hitting the pool after work with a growler or two, I agree about the heat, 112° here at work is damn hot by any standard! well at least the pool is holding at 80 so far

 

[Zen_Brew]

What did you say the address was of that hotel with the free brew equipment in the UHaul was?

 

[mrk305]

..... okay, I'll shut up since we had a cold wave push through. Todays high in Georgia was only 92 and the humidity was only 51% (pleasant, actually). My ground water tonight was 75 degrees and now it only 83 degrees at 9:15 p.m.

I just finished with clean up. After reading your posts from AZ i checked your weather forcasts. &^%$#@! it is flippin hot out there! Ground water 100 degrees & you could fill a hot tub with that!

I have heard it is not the heat, but the humidity..... but I think the heat has a lot to do with it!

1) as for the its the humidity thing, set your oven to low, poke your head in and tell me its the humidity!

2) I actually have a hot tub! its a 35,000 gallon pool version, but if I put the retractable cover on it (for monsoon protection) for a day or two the temp will climb over 100!

3) Give us a feww more weeks and we will be sitting in 118+ heat, then the humidity will climb as the wrath of God Monsoon storms roll through to further add to the hot misery.

Realtors in Arizona have resulted to bl*wing sailors for loose change. Please can't you help the strarving realtors in Arizona, and disregard the irrational posts of native Arizonians like this heat stricken man.

A week ago we set a record for lowest humidity, 2%.

No $hit!

Yup, and it was 112° as well. But I must say, I live here by choice and absolutely love the heat.

At least with that kind of humidity, if the person next to you farts you get a cool breeze.

Agree, I hate the snow, I can tolerate it when we visit family in Boston and Virginia around Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I could not live out a winter there!

That is just great!

Being a native I never knew anything about humidity until spending a year in FLA. That was disgusting! I'm here for the single digits and have no problem with the heat.

Yeah, I spent a summer in Missouri.. I am pretty sure we are spoiled here. It may be hot, but at least you can get wet to cool down!
