Nitrogen narcosis all day, ethanol narcosis all night. Win. Win.

... and I think you forgot "flatulence narcosis every minute you're in a confined space with PTN".

It drives the ladies wild.


I think it has something to do with the hemoglobin/oxygen disassociation curve. Get just a little bit below 90% and weird things start happening.

Hey Mort,

Advance notice here of a trip I'm going to organize for next fall. We're going to leave Boston for a week of diving somewhere in the Med (Crete?) or the Aegean (Greece) then stop in Munich at Octoberfest on the way home. Me & Al, Scott & Sarah, Kim & Maryann . You & Pat?
The girls may want to come, too. I would like to do a live aboard for the week but Maryann gets seasick at the dock so that might not fly. What ya think?

Morning Paul, and all others (cue sound track to the Waltons.....)
That dive trip and Munich sounds pretty cool - so definitely keep us in the loop on the planning - right now I don't have any big trips planned for work. I know Pat's been talking up both Crete and Greece - I'll check in with some of our friends and contacts about what the best locations and values may be right now. I know a guy at Woods Hole that was in charge of several u/w archaeological projects off of Greece - and he's got some great contacts.

Thought we were going to see you on the pub crawl last Saturday. I had some IPA's to give you as rent for letting us brew on your system at Masstoberfest. My first all grain beer came out awesome, and I'll be glad when I get my system up and running so I can brew all grain at home and stop brewing extract stuff in the kitchen.

That rig worked and made a good beer? Wow hope it was a dark beer so you avoided any discoloration from the rust

Leeanne let you get on the computer last night?


Well, she ought to let you get on something from time to time.

PTN told me that that's how you make an amber. Do you have to do other things too?

 

[Cape Brewing]

... yeah. Add blueberries

 

[paulthenurse]

Zing.

That's it?????? You text me "Hahaha. I kill myself!" for THAT?

You are so farking lame. I'm embarrassed for you.


Killing yourself is probably a good idea. I know I'd do it if I were you.

While we were in Dublin we went through the Guinness factory. You could put your name into a data base they have and find if you have family members who have worked there. There were 11 guys with my last name who have worked for Arthur. I'm claiming them all as long lost relatives.

I'm betting that at least one of them got fired for excessive consumption of the product.

Wow another genealogy post.... Thought he learned his lesson from he first one

Looked at yours the other day...ran all the way back to a massive blueberry farm

Everyone knows that Yeagers family tree is a blueberry bush.

Great beer article about big vs small breweries.

Does anyone know if you get bereavement leave when Twinkies pass away?

 

[bluemoose]

Luckily I have a drawer full. They should last about 75 years if I play my cards right.

 

[yeager1977]

Does anyone know if you get bereavement leave when Twinkies pass away?

This is probably a turning point in your weight loss and physical well being isn't it?

Does anyone know if you get bereavement leave when Twinkies pass away?

How is it even possible that, less than two weeks after Colorado and Washington legalize weed, that Hostess goes out of business?

 

[paulthenurse]

Yeager?????

Did you really come up with that on your own? Very good, lad. That was actually funny. Well played, son! Very well played indeed!

anyone headed to the pats game tomorrow? my wife and I got tickets and would be nice to tailgate with people we know

So the local farmstand seems to have a good price on local raw honey. Any advice on what to do with it? I'm guessing a mead. Never done it and figured I'd give it a try. Since, I've never done it before whats a good classic? I'm thinking one or more of the following: raisins, maple syrup (another place just down the road), cranberries or cherries. I'm not sold on doing a mead. Just figured I'd give it a try.

 

[Cape Brewing]

What would they want for 100 lbs?

You can make a braggot (why I am asking for a price)

 

[ComcastWineRookie]

as PTN has stated earlier "Beer talk doesn't belong in this thread. Take it outside." so I assume that goes for mead, wine, soda, etc

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

You forgot blueberry flavored girly drinks.

I got 5lbs for $22. Not that great of a deal as it's similar to NB. However, in the next YuppyTown over it's twice that much from the same apiary. The farm wasn't the direct source of the honey so maybe if you go directly you could get cheaper. It is also just down the road.

Braggot may be the way to go. I think I was half hearted wanting to do a wine kit. I have a couple pounds of Northern Brewer and noble hops that I need to use. I did an awesome Imperial Doppelbock a couple of years ago and I'm sure the final growlers will be done by Christmas.

Maybe I'll do a double brew and blend half of one with maple syrup and the other with the honey to keep the aroma. I'm not a recipe guru so I have to do more research. Maybe find a German variation somewhere. Plus find out if I need to do nutrients. I've read you don't want to boil the honey so blending or adding it at the end of fermentation is what I'll experiment with to keep the flavor/aroma.
