The Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS Thread

[Cape Brewing]

Hey have any of you Nancys ever brewed a non-alcoholic beer? My daughter (the most recent winner of The Most Coveted Prize in Home Brewing) manages a group home for developmentally delayed adults. Most of these folks have pretty significant physical and cognitive impairment but not all. One of the guys is relatively high functioning, has a job at the local Goodwill, can read and write at a low level, etc. (Think of Hoppy but with a better personality.)

Anyways, this guy like beer. They are all about inclusion in the community with these folks so every once in a while Sheila will take him to a local pub and they'll have a pizza and a beer. He only gets one and only on special occasions. So she is telling him about Masstoberfest and he gets all excited and wants to make his own batch of beer. I'm perfectly willing to do it with them but haven't ever brewed a non-alcohol brew before. I understand that you bere a regular beer then heat it to the point where the ethanol evaporates, the add new yeast and bottle.

Anyone ever do it? Advice? Recipes? Crude comments?

Never done it because it would be stupid

Never done it... Cause there's ODules in the store. But if you heat off the ETOH, then bottle prime you will have some small alcohol content, of course. I suppose doing an extract brew without enhancement would result in low gravity wort and around 3% ABV. I just made a batch for in laws visiting that like Bud light... Yeah, but turns out the beer drinker did like my other home brews. No accounting for taste, right? LOL

He should just brew a beer and then tell the guy it's a NA beer with his own spin on it...

Blech

You're stupid.

And your face is stupid.

You're as stupid as a self igniting cell phone.

And stupid people have voted overwhelmingly to stop being stupid because they don't want to be like you.

You big stupid head.

Ya. Cape is so stupid nuclear annihilation makes sense, if only to get away from his nuclear stupid-ness-ocity-paloozza-ness.

And he doesn't line baseball.

Man, he's stupid.

 

[paulthenurse]

Coco Crisp?

We should get a guy like that...

Wait... What???????

 

[day_trippr]

Gasps of life, but still it's not...looking...good.

Tonight may be the night to say "Good Bye" to Big Papi...and Farrell...

 

[paulthenurse]

Dave?? Dave??? Mr Roberts? Where ARE you?

 

[paulthenurse]

Nice friggin' play by the third baseman.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Ramirez has made a couple of good plays

 

[day_trippr]

Cleveland pitcher walks Ortiz on four pitches.
Wimp or savvy, doesn't matter, still sucks.

Things remain interesting...

 

[paulthenurse]

This kids sh!tting his pants like Yeager at a debutante ball.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Paulie you try that Dinner IPA?

 

[paulthenurse]

Faaaaaak

 

[paulthenurse]

Schrumpdiddlyishous.

Thank you. It was great.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Polishing off the final bottles here.

 

[Yooper]

Paulie you try that Dinner IPA?

GREAT beer. Thank you. I had Dinner with :important people: and it was wonderful.

I know you were talking to Paulie (too) but I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed it.

I was wondering- do you ever wear pants?

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Lol I'm sitting here thinking: why are these people wearing gloves at the baseball game? Embarrassing! Shorts are better than no pants at all

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Now, now todd, we all can't make kate the Great ya know ...

Separated at birth?

Well that sucked!!!

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Cleveland played a good series. Congrats to Tito. I always liked that guy.

 

[day_trippr]

I'd just say "Wait'll NEXT Year!" but with no Ortiz my heart's not in it right now...

Boston will always be his city...

Cheers!

 

[paulthenurse]

Congrats to TF and Cleveland. They were the better team and Tito out managed Farrell at every opportunity.

I don't expect they'll go much further and the Chi Sox are going to slaughter whomever they play anyways.

Only good part of the day is that the public ball gargling of Ortiz is finally over. Hey, I love the guy too, but just go away already.

 

[day_trippr]

You're dead to me.

 

[HoppyDaze]

Big Papi was one of my favorite players. I was a big fan when he was in Minnesota. He got a bit too Massholy in his twilight years though the guy smashed, had fun and made teams better.

The only way to be out managed in baseball is to make poor pitching changes in late innings. Maybe not trying to swipe a bag or two when it fits...

Also, Cleveland looks the part; but Toronto is hot.

Chi Sox though? C'mon
