Brian,
if you really need it immediatley I'll go by Yeagers on my way home from Wawa and bring it over Apparently Yeager isn't allowed out of the house at night and he can't drive the two f'ing miles to your house to bring it back. I didn't even know you had brought it. Thanks. I'll get it to you today

PTN

ps
do me a favor and show Courtney Yeagers posts. Now THAT would be funny! His balls would make her a nice pair if earings.
 
Seriously Brian, if you need it ASAP I am home all day tomorrow with the kids, but can probably bring it by when my wife gets home. It is on my kitchen counter.

And when I said your wife told me you were asking about the stone, I was referring to PTN. :)
 
That stupid for you to make the trip Paul. And no, it's not the end of the world. I brewed this past weekend I could have used it and I had planned on brewing today but, shockingly, it didn't happen. Busy with work stuff and I really need to do some ":Beer housekeeping" anyway. I gave the rig a big time cleaning. I cleaned, sanitizied and filled four kegs and then cleaned all of the carboys.

blah blah blah... anyway... I'm brewing again this weekend so I would like to get it back by then.
 
And when I said your wife told me you were asking about the stone, I was referring to PTN. :)

You f-ing weasle! Actually I take that back, you're a worm, weasles have back bones! Calling you a weasle gives weasles everywhere a bad name! You spineless piece of whale sheet! You were too talking smack about his wife, until you remembered that she could kick your ass with one hand tied behind her back! At that point your vertebrae turned to jello and your balls sucked so far up into your body cavity that you gagged on them! You make me sick! I hope she beats you so hard your mother cries!

PTN

(Dear Mr. Yeager, I read what you wrote and I have
to agree with my dad, you really are a weasle...)

Dear Mr. Yeager,
I'm coming back from skiing with my Dad and he was telling me all about his "special" Internet friends like you and Cape Brewing. I asked
him where you guys came up with your names, as
I know your real name is Chris. He told me you named yourself after Chuck Yeager.


...Are you serious?


I saw "The Right Stuff", Chuck Yeager broke Mach1 with broken ribs. I bet you go home from work sick if you get a papercut. You make J.D. Drew look like Cal Ripkin!

Yeager? What a joke.

Beth aka Spawn
 
And as for you, Mr. Cape Brewing... Captian Tapdatass?!

Really? Let's keep it classy and try not to give in to our juvenille sexual fantacys.

The Spawn

please... that's f'in GOLD.... and the fact that he then apparently asked afterwards why he kept being referred to as "Captain"??

absolute... freakin'... GOLD.

And if you were really the spawn of PTN you'd think that was some funny sh!t too.

... actually... "fantacys" ??? Yup... you're the spawn of PTN.

So what are they actually teaching you out at college in upstate New York???? How to be a dumb hick like your dad? They obviously don't teach spelling or proper grammar. Captian? fantacys? Come on!!!!!!!!!

Oh and one other thing, ANY thread with your father posting is extremely NOT classy. Classless... sure..... but not classy.....
 
I just talked to PTN on the phone and he said his daughter asked him how to spell "fantasies" and he told her it was "fantacys".... All I have to say is the apple really does not fall far from the tree..... Probably the same apple that hit them both on the head....
 
Couple of things...

Yeager promised me he would take a gravity reading today. He said he couldn't do it yesterday because his daughter 'had the poop-sies' and he had 'washed her hieney' in the morning. I need to have my head examined for brewing with this guy.

And as you may have heard, I ended driving Hippie to Ipswich after the boil (sort of like driving to Wyoming only longer) because he was 'napping' in a corner, missed the last train and his phantom 'other option' ride home didn't materialize. What I didn't mention (because it didn't even register at the time) was that we stopped at a 7/11 on the way cause the Hippie said he needed to get a few things. Apparently it was caught on tape [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR28tmVAo-A"]here[/ame].

I REALLY need new friends.

If nothing else tells you just how drunk I was, the beer I tried to buy came in a suitcase:drunk:... The part that you can't enjoy because the audio was dubbed over was Paul in the parking lot leaning on the horn the entire time shout slurring "Beef jerky! Benevolent Napoleon needs beef jerky!" over and over and over. Half of the times I failed to get up was because I was laughing so hard at my idiot driver! Thankfully they know me there or we could have been in some real trouble.

And the reason I didn't catch a ride with Sumo at 4:30ish was Paul's insistence that they would be done by "7 or 8" not 11.
 
SO PTN made me take another gravity reading. He has no frickin patience.... its at 1053 down 0006 points and I added about 2 pounds of maple syrup and two ec1118 champagne yeasts
 
I made you take another gravity reading so we would know what the beer was doing. Or, as I suspected, WASN'T doing. That's why you watch it closely in the beginning. So that when it only drops 6 one thousanths in two weeks you can add some 1188 to kick it in the pants. Just like I seem to need to kick you in the pants to get you to do anything.

Why do I do this to myself?

PTN

How did it taste?

You DID taste it, right? Please tell me you didn't pour out the sample in the hydrometer flask without tasting it.
 
dammitt!dammitt!dammitt!

ours seems to have hung up around 1.080 or so after the first racking on of syrup addition. an o2 infusion this last friday has had no effect on chewing through this bastige. you massholes have any ideas?
 
Ok, well first, don't add any more O2. This will just oxidize your beer at this point. Second go out and get 2 packets of Lavlin ec1118 champagne yeast. rehydrate it in 1 cup of water. stir it. Add 1 cup of your beer/wort. Stir it and let it proof 20-30 minutes. Dumpt it in the batch and give the batch a good stir to rouse the yeast.
 
Throwing in more of the same yeast that has already stalled won't do it. We used the 1118 last year with good results. Be sure to proof it the way Yeager said so it gets sort of acclamitized to the high gravity. It wouldn't hurt to step up the proofing a few times, start with 1/2 and 1/2 until it is foaming away, then add another cup or two of straight wort and let that start to work. Maybe do that two or three times, so that by the time you pitch it into the rest of the batch you are working with mostly wort.

1118 can ferment a dead hooker if you optimize the conditions.

PTN
 
I have never really been a big fan of the 099, I don't believe that it lives up to its hype. Is it good to get to around 10-15 percent? Usually, but Anything over that I have been using ec1118 which can get you easily over 22%

PTN

Believe him when he says this, he has experience with this stuff. He has seen it himself when working in the ER.... Where do you think he gets all the cultures for his sour beers?
