SYRACUSE NY - ROUND 3 Group Grain Buy

[rustbucket]

true, i will be in rochester this weekend, maybe i can hoax my mom into buying a six pack of different saisons for me at beers of the world.

 

[CidahMastah]

GRAIN IS IN! I am checking the order but so far so good.

 

[jhenderson27]

Sweet deal. Ik great lakes makes one called grass roots. Was not a fan. But i hate that style. Ik ommegang makes a good one.

 

[CidahMastah]

- All is good with the order!

PICKUP when ready.

Remember - bring something to cart away your splits

 

[rustbucket]

jhenderson, you still good with that trade rice huls for c120? im giong to give you 8-10lbs for 2lbs of c120?

yeah dont pull a me and forget everything at home, then ask cidah for trash bags!

 

[CidahMastah]

haha - yeah this time you will be in trouble. The wife bought the febreeze smelling bags.... yummy. Not sure even black patent would taste right after being stored in that haha!

 

[jhenderson27]

Give it time febreeze scented.crystal 120 is gonna be a hit. Yah rust im good with that.

 

[rustbucket]

that is the newest brew style... trashbag flavored/aroma ipa!

ok jhenderson, ill package your lb-age up tonight so i can bring it to cidahs when i head out there this week. what do you prefer? black trashbag, or black trashbag? hahahaa,

ill bring a ziplock baggy for the 2lbs c120 and leave it there. (1 gallon freezer bag)

so there is a discussion on the main general chat that is discussing the saison's right after i asked about it.
they are recommending:
~hennepin form ommegang
~ saison dupont

 

[TwoGunz]

quick question for you guys... im now just interested in a saision... but i dont think that i have ever had one.. so my question of you what is a good commercial one to try before i put forth to making a batch then find out i dont like the style?

I'd recommend Saison Dupont and ommegang Hennepin. It's been awhile since I've had Dupont but I have Hennepin fairly frequently and it's great, although since it's an american it's higher ABV than I think is normal for the classic style.

I'm in Atlanta on business and actually had a dark saison out the other night that was pretty interesting - Stillwater A Saison Darkly.

 

[jhenderson27]

Rust you can take the 2lbs out of my stash. Ill be converting all my stuff to lowes buckets : )

 

[rustbucket]

ok, i wasnt sure how you wanted to do that... those rice hulls take up so much room, i have like 16 lbs or something like that, and it takes up an entire grain bag almost.

One of my favorite things about volleyball is you can drink while playing (well pretty close to playing)

 

[BWN]

I was just reading through this thread. I am in Watertown about an hour north of Syracuse. I may be able to get some kegs around $30 to $35 for ball locks if there was any interest. I think there might be 6-7 available.

works for me

 

[ScottishPete]

Super bummed I missed out on this ... haven't checked HomeBrewTalk in a few months cuz currently I can only brew outdoors and ... well, we live in Syracuse ;-)

I'd love to get in on this next time, maybe someone can PM me if I happen to miss it ... long shot but would be appreciated

So any big brew days scheduled? I didn't know there were this many people from Syracuse on HBT ... would love to get together

its is a good time, i sit there and drink my beer inbetween games, and while i wait my turn to get back in the game (subs)... haha, sadly they have the BMC crap there + labatts to drink while playing, so i opt to pay the extra two bucks to get sierra Nevada PA:fro:

i can already see it, my liver is going to hate me after this summer, since im brewing so much at home, playing volleyball 3 days a week.. the what ever on the weekends

 

[jhenderson27]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a light beer while playing/enjoying sports. I personally do not want to be power drinking a quality home brew to just piss it away. Btw there is nothing wrong with a super cold coors light!

Hey now!! Coors is pushing it! haha

I used to like Coors, but now I can barely drink it. It's not that I am a beer snob either. My "go to" brews for light or similar styles a coors are 1. PBR and 2. Blue/Blue light

As for upcoming brew sessions:
1. AHS Witbier - blue moon clone
2. Killian Styled Irish Red
3. A belgian quad
4. Pilsner Urquell or Spaten clone (if I can find a good one)
5. A new Pale Ale (can't get amarillo hops)

So many brews planned, and so little time. I need a double session to catch up!


One thing to add - at you per beer price you COULD pound quality home brews and save money on what you would pay for labatts or similar - Ha! Viva bulk grain buy! But I agree with you jhenderson

 

[BigBrew54]

Quick question, where do you local guys go to for Co2 fills? Is there anyplace that will fill your own tank or are they all just swaps?

I go to haun - but it is only swaps. I also jumped up to the 20lb tank.

 

[rustbucket]

i can not drink blue for the life of me, i think it taste like a role of nickels plus even one or two blues gives me a terrible headache. ,

i drink pbr in a pinch, and the light beers just dont cut it for me anymore, they just taste straight like water. never cared for coors tho, id rather drink BL over it. but i agree with you on the lighter beers when its warmer out, but since we are stuck in this "rain forest" climate at the moment, heavier beers are working for me!

haun, where i bought my 5lb tank. so they swap it out, sun hydro, refills tho, at least i think if you have a shinny CO2 tank

 

[rustbucket]

cidah, not sure if ill be making it out today, but if not today tomorrow is a def!

 

[CidahMastah]

here you on the rain forest stuff. I cracked into one on my Arrogant clone brews last night - that stuff is pretty tasty. Glad I sort of forgot about it down there haha. Can't wait to do the blind taste test with 4 versions!


no problem on the pick up.

 

[jhenderson27]

I can't say anything bad about coors lite I enjoy it and they sponsor me. Enjoy a coors lite twisted tea or molson canadian. All proud sponsors on my dirt modified

 

[rustbucket]

ok, jhenderson, i gave you 9-10lbs or rice hulls, somewhere in there i think... haha, the trash bag is half full, when i head over to cidahs tomorrow, ill drop that off and put it with your stuff.

i dont mind molson now and then either

 

[jhenderson27]

Just grab your 2lbs of crystal. Ill pick the rest of my share up friday nite. Unless you dont ride with your mom down and can grab mine. Otherwise friday ill be up cidah.

 

[rustbucket]

ill be riding with my ma, to rochester, so i prob wont be able to bring you your stuff..

but sounds good!

 

[CidahMastah]

Sounds good.

Now Molson, I like!
