Perfect night for beer drinking camped out in front of the big screen with clicker in hand. Bruins at Tampa @7 and Tigers at Fenway @8, both games DVRed so nothing big gets missed.

Hope to see caps and t-shirts handed out tonight, but Buch has me a bit un-relaxed. Six kegs on line should fix that eventually...

Cheers! And GO SAWX!

Brew day tomorrow. Everything is out and ready for 4am.

I have a brewing question, I am planning on making a KBS clone, here is my recipe:

KBS CLONE


5 US Gallons

13.25 lbs pale malt
1.5 lbs flaked oats
.75 lb roasted barley
.75 lb Belgian choc. malt
.50 lb Belgian debittered black malt
.5 lb 120L crystal malt

Hops

1.0 oz Nugget 13% aa (60 mins)
1.25 oz Willamette 5% aa (25 mins)
1.75 oz Willamette 5% aa (10 mins)

2.5 oz Belgian bittersweet chocolate (15 mins)
1.5 oz unsweetened cocoa nibs (15 mins)
2.0 oz ground Sumatran coffee (flameout)
2.0 oz cold-brewed Kona coffee (secondary)

American or California Ale yeast

Boil Time 90 mins
IBU. 73
SRM 60
Specific gravity 1.092
Assumed Efficiency 75%

Infusion Mash at 155F for 60 mins. Add Hops, chocolate, and coffee as specified. Ferment for 2 weeks at 65F. Soak .25 oz French Oak chips in one cup Kentucky Bourbon for 2 days. Soak ground kona coffee in 1 cup boiled, cooled water and leave overnight, covered in refrigeratro. Strain out grounds and add cold coffee and bourbon, with wood chips to secondary. Rack fermented stout into this mixture and condition in secondary at 55-60F for 2-6 mos.


Can I split up the grain bill, mash 2 times and combine to get the neccessary wort or does it all have to be done at once? Thanks

It depends on your equipment. I've done a 22# BIAB in my 15 gallon kettle using a tote to drop the bag into. If you are a 3Ver, sure, go ahead and do two mashes and combine, you may want to shoot for a bigger volume and boil longer to concentrate your wort. Better yet, see if you can borrow someone's mash rig so you can do the halves simultaneously to shorten the brew day.

[Bulls Beers]

What an absolutely bullshyte call.

 

[yeager1977]

What an absolutely bullshyte call.

Yup

 

[Cape Brewing]

bah.... if the Pats hadn't completely gagged up about 27 third-and-longs all freakin' day to the Jets offense, the call wouldn't have mattered. The Pats looked horrible yesterday and deserved to lose that game.

We don't have THAT much to whine about. They're still 5-2 (although that ratio will surely equilibrate.). The Red Sox are in the World Series, the B's were 17 seconds away from forcing a game 7 last year and look good so far. Hell, even the Revolution might make the playoffs. And the Green should be so farkin' bad they're in the lottery.

It could be a LOT worse. We could be NY.

Jim Leyland retired today. Classy of him to hold off on the official announcement for a couple of days so that the news stories would be about the Sox making it to the World Series, rather than his departure.

Gotta love this guy:

I've always liked Leyland - old school manager but with more class than might be expected. But given Detroit's mood right now, I suspect the retirement was at the point of a gun...

Cheers!

If there is a mob chasing you out of town calling it a parade in your honor is just a difference of opinion.

This one is for all you insecure Massholes in the crowd (yeah, I'm looking at you PTN)

 

[Melana]

I'm not insecure.... Wait, do you think I am?

Well that was three minutes of my life I'll never get back. Fortunately I've been dropping a deuce while watching so it wasn't a total waste of time. Excuse me while I flush.
