The "Waiting for the Next Giveaway" Speakeasy

[TBC]

Gotta go to bed soon. Got a class tomorrow to learn how to lead people. Seems silly. I've been in leadership positions for almost 30-years and now I'm gonna learn how to do it?

Did you guys have Sigma 6 yet?

 

[harrke]

Alabama is going to have several seconds with the ball!

 

[harrke]

No, I think nuclear is afraid of 6-Sigma.

 

[harrke]

6-seconds. Many laterals to be attempted.

 

[TBC]

Bedtime

 

[allanmorgan]

Couldn't make it to the end of the game. Looks like I missed an awesome ending. Glad that Clemson won though!!

 

[allanmorgan]

Hard to believe but i actually dont like chilli in beer.

I had a Ballast Point IPA that had habanero chilli's. I had one and only one. Way too spicy hot for me.

 

[allanmorgan]

The downside was that it was a sixer. The rest went down the drain.

 

[allanmorgan]

Sad day really.

 

[harrke]

I don't care for the flavor of habanero really, so probably would not enjoy.

 

[harrke]

Started the Not-Yeti on the Pico. Looking and smelling good so far.

 

[harrke]

I'm going to try to set up a plate chiller for my 2.5 gallon Pilsner tomorrow. I've got the hot side. Just need the right hose and connections for the cold side.

 

[harrke]

Using my Tilt with the fermentation fridge and an Ink-bird controller to set the fermentation and lagering schedule.

 

[harrke]

My niece, a sophomore at Clemson had the quote of the night last night. After watching and celebrating the win, she looked at her Mom and said, "darn, I guess that means tuition is going up!" You can't make this stuff up!!

 

[DemonsRun]

Ha!

 

[allanmorgan]

That sir, is funny!

 

[allanmorgan]

Only 664 to 2000.

 

[harrke]

Getting closer to 10,000.

 

[harrke]

Gonna take a stab at an all grain Pilsner. A little worried about water--I'm using RO water to start and with only a 2.5 gallon batch, I'm a little nervous about adding too much Calcium Chloride. Gonna go with 1/4 tsp.

 

[allanmorgan]

Ahh...RO water and the additives. Still haven't got that nailed down yet.

I had a Ballast Point IPA that had habanero chilli's. I had one and only one. Way too spicy hot for me.

the stout I added 12 grams of a meco chili pepper to and you can feel some heat as it enters your belly. Not unbearable though

 

[kenoglass]

Maybe for 10K I could make something up...not set in stone or anything...

 

[kenoglass]

anybody grow any hops??

My HBS gave me a bunch of rhizomes last year and they all took root, but no hops. I think this year they will be incredible!!!

 

[harrke]

If you got good roots, the hops will come. I had some but couldn't take care of them like they needed.

 

[harrke]

Don't forget, I've got a BK for 10,000 to give away!

 

[allanmorgan]

I'm getting there, but still lacking in that area. Once I get it down, should make for better beers...or so they say.

 

[harrke]

Yeah, watch the hops. Give them water and mulch early. Limit the number of bines any one plant supports so that energy will go to producing cones!

 

[harrke]

Usually the second year gives some cones, but the next few years is when you get full production.

 

[allanmorgan]

Don't grow my own hops Keno. Not sure how that would work out in the NE.

 

[kenoglass]

We arent too far. The guy who gave them to my HBS is also a club member and he got over 2 lbs dried of centenial, 3 lbs of cascade and just over a pound of nugget
