I just got done with my weekend long brew. All I had to do tonight was boil and chill. Ended up taking three fukcing hours!! The oil went fine until it was time to chill. My hop filter clogged about four damn times. Then I ended up with a gallon less than what I was supposed to at 1.140. So I diluted to 5 gallons and ended up at 1.072. Too low. Whatever. I still have some dextrose to add, so I may hit my OG anyway. This brew day (weekend) sucked.

Yeah no kidding. Didn't you have a mishap with your hops too earlier Ty?

Yeah. I lost them. If this brew turns out half as good as last time, I'll be happy.

Drinking more of my cider.

Seriously. What a fantastic beer. Big Eddy's Russian Imperial Stout. This is by far the best Leinenkugel beer I've ever had. But at $14 a four pack I would hope so. This is a must have for anyone that likes stouts. I'm partial to my Dragons Milk (I live two minutes from New Holland Brewery.) but this beer is ranking #1 for stouts. Until I try my very own Chocolate Milk Stout that is.

Havent had that one but been way less than impressed with that "brewery"

+1. Never had anything from them that's anything more than "meh", usually not even that far. Although if it's really that good, I might have to give it a shot.

Was at the bottle shop yesterday, and they were pouring samples of Leinenkugel Oktoberfest, and my wife the non-beer-drinker thought it was better than I did. (Ended up grabbing a bottle of Weyerbacher Riserva 2012 that I'll treat myself to tomorrow night for my 6 month smoke free reward).

Pouring myself one of my Milds, and then it's off to bed.

For the record, I'm not here to defend Leinenkugels. They make cheap beer. This isn't labeled as Leinenkugels. Like the brand or not, if you can at least find it in a single bottle, it's worth the few bucks to try it.

Coffee, I'm supposed to be working but windows 8/samsung decided now is a good time for bios updates.

Windows 8-hell, windows in general can suck my left nut.

On the coff as well. Found out my two month stint in OK begins Saturday evening and the five of us will be sharing an apartment. At least we're flying out and not driving.

No choice here. It's Windows or bust if I expect work to buy the computer. They keep me in a brand new ultra book so I'm not going to complain too much. But Windows 8 is a serious step backwards.

Windows 8 sucks so bad! I'd rather have XP back. Hell, I'd take 3.1 over 8. My most recent laptop has 8 installed on it. Worst OS ever!

At least your stoutbomination will get two months in primary to continue living up to it's name.

It's not Windows' fault. You sux at the internets! :off: :D

Having a glass of water before I go smack some trees out back.
 
Gabe did you get my PM?

I did. Was just getting ready to send you one back. I was in a pretty thick fog yesterday and didn't want to try and put anything more coherent the FF trash talking together.
 
I generally avoid the domestic craft beers and pseudo craft beers, but I decided to buy Hale to Nothing, brewed by Brutal Brewing (owned by Spendrups). 4.5% ABV, nice colour. Very clean, in fact it's so damn clean you can only taste the hops. Nothing else, which could've been a good thing but they didn't manage to pull it off. The American and English hops in this beer do not blend very well.

Sort of tastes like a pilsner, even though it's supposed to be an English Pale Ale.

Haha I hear ya, I had a pretty banging headache this morning myself. I never remember to hydrate after a few quads.

True dat! I pitched three packs of S-33 last night and this morning it was going crazy!

I was lucky when I got my new work computer. They let me piece it together myself because I need a beast to run the SolidWorks Computational Flow Dynamics software. I was able to get Windoze 7 for it. My laptop too...though instead of getting me a real computer, they got me an Acer. It sukz. I hear Windoze 8 is like an overgrown phone on steroids.:drunk:
