Things a Homebrewer Thinks

[unionrdr]

Does Starsaning a pair of robogrip pliers count?

 

[Keith66]

You betcha, welcome to the club!

I must be doing something wrong, never needed tools to open a white labs vial.

 

[unionrdr]

I also use the robogrip pliers on the spigot in my Microbrew fermenter from Cooper's. It has a hex lug on it,so it has to be tight.

I had one spray all over me and the top of the carboy once (most of it went in the carboy), but haven't needed a wrench yet......... yet.

Obviously you haven't yet made a Rusty-Wrench Rye.

T'was the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring, what a great time to brew!

 

[grasshopperfirestarter]

ha! ...and a wire coat hanger to fish a rubber stopper out of a full carboy just after pitching!

Just thought of another thing a homebrew thinks: "there's brewing supplies under that christmas tree, can't we just open them now?!"

 

[rocketsan22]

Wondering what's in that stocking

 

[Keith66]

Give it the ol' shake, squeeze and sniff!

Yea ... something wrong ... . if the pressure ain't high enough to lock up the cap threads, you clearly haven't let your yeast out of the fridge long enough! (Disclaimer: I'm dumb ... Don't actually do that)

Here's another good one:
"Man, that yeast is WAY too expensive, and I'm not gonna pay the packie $20 for a bottle just to culture it. I know ... I'll fly out to the brewery!"

Since the doctor put me on antibiotics to kill this sinus infection, do you think I should substitute home brews and other unfiltered unpasturized beers for the probiotics and see if I can get myself a case of Auto-brewery Syndrome?

Don't ferment and drive?

Hey. Now that's my kind of party!!!

HB is much easier hen you just eat the ingredients - no mashing, no boil, no cleanup (unless you ferment too much - make sure to have a blow-off tube handy).

 

[BadDeacon]

The in laws are planning stuff to do with the kids today.

The dishwasher is finally employ after all the holiday meals.

Looks like I have a good window of time to bottle the brew that has been cold crashing in the freezing garage!!!!!

 

[DrunkleJon]

Don't ferment and drive?

Haha. Driving under the influence of Carbs. The only shame is if I were to go for this, I seem to have lost my sense of smell and taste almost completely. When I tried to drink a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on Christmas it tasted like a very bitter Coors Light. It would almost be a waste to drink good beer during this and I have no flawed HB to polish off.

 

[jrgtr42]

I have too many empty bottles. Think it's time for another brew.

 

[unionrdr]

4 cases of brew left. Need to get three batches of hybrid lager going while I keep writing my book.

 

[dx6x]

hmm bottling day was to day Must brew more tomorrow.

 

[high5apparatus]

Only shopping for a few things, oh pressed apple juice is on sale. Time to make more cider.

 

[Black Island Brewer]

"Hmmm, I wonder if those Harbor Freight rare earth magnets would work for making a stir plate...?"

"Oh, look, 1-gallon jugs! What!?! 10 bucks each?!? Hell, I can buy the jug AND the crap wine for less than that!"

The timing was perfect for me.

UPS showed up with my new EdelMetall just as the site went down.

Kept me busy until it was up again.

pb --- glad I'm one with the brew gods!!!

 

[Chadwick]

I can schedule my kids hair cut appointments around my brew day. It can be done. I just need the UPS guy to show up before 9am.

Just far enough to back the car out so you can brew.

 

[skitter]

Ok so no matter how I turned it on my camera it didn't here, anyways...

First look thought it was beer..

turn it 90 degrees counterclockwise (top of phone to the left). Seems to work best for me.

 

[skitter]

Oooh it goes by "camera orientation" not phone

 

[luke_d]

At the ER with my wife, and when she mentions an EKG, I was confused...East Kent Goldings at the hospital? Why?

 

[badlee]

Lol
Luke d, I got the opposite from my mum.
She id a nurse and I asked her to bring me some EKG: she freaked and thought I had heart problems!

"Hmmm, maybe I could make that dorm fridge by the side of the road into a fermentation chamber for my STARTERS!"

 

[Black Island Brewer]

"Since I haven't WON a conical fermentor, maybe I should just BUY one. $775 BUCKS!?!?! Man I love my carboys!"
