The Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS Thread

[Dland]

Introducing batch 4 of 4; Dland 2018 Summer Ale. Last weeks batch down the drive(hope it does not kill the Magnolia tree). Pallet ruining before and after taste of vomit. Did not receive immersion cooler yet and tubing yet, so I baked the cooler and fittings & boiled the hoses.

At this point, I figure decent chance this batch, hit my mash target spot on today.

Whoa. I just hit dead nuts 152 also!?!?

Well.....I guess I still have room to dial in to south shore standards

Dead...

Nuts...

What the f*ck's all this talk about making beer? Who has the damn time for that? Just go to the store and buy it, idiots.

 

[paulthenurse]

That’s what Cape does.

Any suggestions on a good, not hop forward, not sessions lager?

Coorsweiser.

does not qualify as good

Says you. Personally I agree, but some dude came up here from SW Buttfark and apparently spent 20 large drinking the stuff.

(No wonder he turned into Mr Crankypants.)

Pretty sure that dude was Bill Gates.

We established that

Trillium made another IPA. A triple IPA. I bought some today. I’m having it next

If I spent 20 large, or even two, visiting this overrun tish hole in the summer, I'd be a little cranky too.

On the beer note, (even though almost 'off topic' on this tread) when I speced not hop forward, should have said hop/malt balanced, plenty o flavor and maybe a little taste of alcohol.

Actually want recommendations, as have to buy beer since I ruined last 4 batches. Ale good too, but tired of the 'how much hops can we jam in' types. Freggin store stuff, makes me sad when I have a small ration of my remaining spring lager. Couple of contenders for OK are 6 point 'crisp pilz' and banded's wicked bueno. Suspect both could used a little more pre can conditioning, and, on the med and low side of ABV.

Get on Untapped and enter some commercial brews you like. They do "if you like this you might like this"

Have you tried Maine Beer Company? They have a couple not overly hopped ales.

Black beer matters.

I’m discovering I have a sulfa allergy. I’m sick as a dog, my skin is on fire and bright red and I’m alternating between freezing and sweating.

This sux.

 

[bob1852]

Put some ice on it.

 

[paulthenurse]

Not bad advice.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

I get the same symptoms on the ride home from Masstoberfest

Beer is starting to happen in Marlboro...

If I was not nuts before, I'm well on my way now. Dumped another batch down the driveway from last week, #s 37-42 bad. Hope toady's#43 is not crittered. "pickled" the hot spots from stainless fabrication on kettles, in case it was metal contamination, which it sometimes tasted like. Everything broken down and cleaned again.

Darn immersion cooler takes forever. Will set up a water recycling tank as soon as make room for the ole army "water buffalo" tank trailer near brew site. In cooler weather I can pump colder than well water though, until I have to worry about freezing it.

May also rehabilitate plate cooler. Running some SaniClean dairy tank cleaner though the system now, kind of like PBW, but with a strong chlorine type chemical in it too.

At this point, will not be surprised if next batch is bad too. Are the gods trying to get me to switch to whisky? If so, I won't be around too long.

Come to Masstoberfest and learn how to do it right.

How to pour batches of beer down the driveway correctly?
