The Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS Thread

[bob1852]

Never tried making Canadian

The bacon I do is solid but the pancetta... Man... That's the stuff. Carbonara with it? Lawwwwwd

I'm not 1%er enough to pancetta...

 

[Cape Brewing]

Oh I know..

AZ you can call it spaghetti with white gravy. Cmon man, get your white trash on. Embrace the trailer culture

Smoking ribs and brewing the Tallywacker with Spawn 1 and the guy from her group home. The great nonalcoholic beer experiment is today. Got to pas the time till 430 somehow

That sounds great! I really want to hear about the NA beer brewing, because I would like to try it. It wouldn't have to be NA, but even a <1% ABV beer (but not a British mild) would be awesome to have. I'd go with a hoppy beer, of course, for my household and that seems to be even more difficult than I imagined to get right.

Could you ferment out and then slowly raise the temp back up to 180, hold for a few min and then re-chill to evap off the alcohol?

I don't know. I know the boiling point of ethanol is 173ish but my understanding of chemistry is that while the boiling point of ethanol may be lower than that of water, when they are together the boiling point would be somewhere in between. So I'm not sure what temperature would be effective.

Also, I'm afraid of oxidation and loss of hops flavor. I could dryhop after the fact, in the keg, but I'm not sure what sort of flavor I'd end up with. I guess I could do it to 1-3 gallons of regular IPA or APA, and see but I was thinking maybe building a recipe from the ground up to be "neutered" would be the way to go.

I don't have to worry too much about the alcohol since it's not for people with substance abuse issues; it's more than I want to enjoy a few beers and still be able to pick up the grandsons or have them sleep over or to operate a chainsaw without being impaired. To that end, if the only way to make a good drink is by making it, say, 2.5%, I would do that.

When Paul's daughter started talking about the guy who loved beer but needed a non-alcoholic beer to brew, that got my wheels turning here.

 

[paulthenurse]

That's the plan. We brewed a 3.5% abv to start then we'll steam off the ethanol at 180.

We have a new brewer. He had a blast.View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1477265645.317494.jpg

I would think heating it would drive off oxygen no?

Who are the two dudes?

 

[paulthenurse]

******.

Your mom on the right and my daughter on the left.

 

[Cape Brewing]

Haha. Easy big fella. You know I'm jokin'. She's a hottie. I would totally hit that.

I dunno. The hat makes it hard to tell, but if you like it you go for it!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Do I hear the sound of Cape's teeth hitting the floor?

 

[Cape Brewing]

I don't get it

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Do you have a daughter?

 

[Cape Brewing]

Lighten up Francis. Paul and I are long time friends. It's a joke.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Paul and I are long time friends.

Hey Cape, your mutha had that same stupid expression on her face when I slipped her the kielbasa.

Bitch be like, "Oh sweet mystery of life at last I've found you!!!"

Looks like a thinner you Paulie.

I hope the Cubs win the WS. Back in '01 I went out to Chicago for a bachelor party and we went to three of the games at Wrigley between the Red Sox and Cubs. Every Cubs fan we talked to was all about "c'mon!! You guys can win it this year. Break the curse!" While every White Sox fan we met was a flaming douchenozzle. Cubs fans were just super cool and we had a freakin blast sitting out in the bleachers for that series (try that in NY).

I know... "cool story bro!" And no one cares but it's a rare day at the Bog where we don't have 400 things to get done, I'm drinking Burly Blondes and felt like telling people that.

Go Cubbies!

Good thing you have FW and Mighty Matt to carry you.

 

[Cape Brewing]

Please. I'm the only one here.

Come drink beer. I got no where to be until late afternoon

 

[paulthenurse]

Would if I could but I have to work. The curse of the drinking class.

 

[Cape Brewing]

(Eyeroll). Hook up a few catheters and tell everyone you'll be back in a couple hours. What's the problem?

 

[paulthenurse]

I have to send someone to the morgue.

(I suppose I COULD cutout for a few hours. It's not like the outcome would be any different.)

 

[Cape Brewing]

Seeeeee??

I bet that person would be honored if you went somewhere and raised a pint to their memory.

I know I would be.

 

[paulthenurse]

I get all giddy and my heart speeds up at the prospect of hoisting a pint in honor of you checking out. Can we schedule a day?
