It's like I WANT to try it, but really don't NEED to try it....

I'l buy it if you do...

 

[TasunkaWitko]

LOL - that's not helping!

Seriously, though - I think I might give it ago. I may even move it up on the list in order to have it ready in time for Christmas...

IF no one talks me out of it!

Better you than me.

If that doesn't make you think twice, you're too far down the road to stop ;0)

 

[NothingRhymesWithCurtiss]

Do it! It's $15. Not like you're committing to 5 Gallons.

I was going to say that I would also buy it if you do, until I saw the $13 shipping.....

Shipping is usually not a concern, because I would get one for me, and then my son would have me buy one...and then I would get some other mix for my dad for Christmas (he really likes Bruxelles Blonde and Chestnut Brown Ale), so shipping would be free.

But yeah, if it weren't for the "free shipping with purchase of 45$ or more," I would have talked myself out of it by now."

 

[jerbrew]

Do it!

You don't NEED to brew. You WANT to brew.
You need to brew what you want.

Why don't you just eat some peppermint candy while drinking a porter first? That would be a good way to get an idea of whether or not you really want a whole batch on hand?

Well that would take all the fun out of it!

Normally, the BBS recipes are pretty well-balanced when it comes to things like this. I've tried their Chocolate Maple Porter, and the dark malts really did give a chocolate ambience. I expect the same would be the case with this, and that the peppermint would be subtle enough to be present without being over-powering.

You guys are doing a terrible job of talking me out of this - PayDay is Friday!

I don't know I guess I'm weird, I only like beer flavored beer. Candy, fruit, pumpkin, meh, make mine beer flavored.

 

[TasunkaWitko]

Anything's worth trying once ~ I brew enough beer-flavoured beer, and Christmas is coming....

Aw, hell, I think I'm going to get this....

 

[shellsbells]

So... Did you do it?

 

[TasunkaWitko]

Paid the bills, bought gas for the car...and not much left!

I will try to get it though - the sooner the better, so that it can be ready for Christmas.

 

[AkTom]

Is it brewing yet? I'd get 6 of them, but shipping to Alaska is ridiculous. Jest jest, on the 6, not the shipping
Brew on Bro

Last year Fling dog produced a mint stout as a special, that was amazing

So do it, do it.

 

[Homercidal]

Is there no voice of reason in this place??

Plenty! Everyone is saying do it- I can't think of a more reasonable answer.

Local brewery made a mint chocolate stout. As much as I wanted to turn my nose up at it, it was pretty damn good.

life's too short to stick to "normal" boring things forever.
