What are you drinking now?

[TNGabe]

Fellow brewers HELP!

I know this is off topic but I can't get any replies elsewhere. Question:


I think I screwed up my starter. It's been sitting on a stir plate for two days. I was going to brew yesterday but didn't and forgot to throw the starter in the fridge. Now I'm cooling my wort. Should I just throw all two liters in the fermenter?

Is constant stirring after the wort is fermented bad for the yeast?

I do have a packet of Notty but I really don't want to use it unless you think I ruined the other yeast

There is no off topic in this thread. Pitching the entire starter at high krausen is usually best. I don't know what the right thing for you to do is. Personally, I'd throw the beer in the ferm chamber and the starter in the fridge overnight and then decant and pitch in the a.m. If you've got good sanitation, 12 hrs before pitching is nothing to worry about.

Jackie O's on the left & Tired Hands on the left. For the same recipe they have quite a bit of difference. Jackie O's is clearer with more aroma while Tired Hands has a little more body and finish. Still,obviously the same beer and both great.

Then what's in the glass on the right?

Keep your shenanigans in the obnoxious football thread.

Is that a fake mannequin hand or are you a vampire!? Holy schnikies If you ever open a brewery it should be called pale hands

Sounds like a good beer enjoy

Left Handed PA? Nope ... apparently that's my brain on the right.

Autumn saison I pitched 96 hrs ago.



3726 is every bit the beast 3711 is, but it actually makes a tasty beer. 1.050 to 1.002 in 96 hrs. 96% apparent attenuation. I'll let it clean up for another 48 hrs before I crash it. Grain to glass in 3 weeks for a bottle conditioned saison isn't bad.

Bourbon barrel aged oerbier inspired Homebrew I got with a trade this week.

My 12.5% barrel aged beer loving fair skinned lady friend may have man hands, but her ivory cans are beyond mannequin size so I look past it. My hands look like leather, one on the camera and one doing inappropriate things under the table. jsyk

Affligem Blond. The guy at the specialty beer store suggest it, along with several others. Spent way too much in there last night.

Pretty good beer.

Yes, but in a good way.
It's very good. This is probably the thickest stout I've ever had. It's a shame this isn't available here, I would pick one of these up weekly.

My Bitter. Couldn't get a working stream past the first couple minutes of Breaking Bad (overloaded servers and such). I should be able to find one tomorrow. I hope.

 

[Leadgolem]

Rum and rootbeer. I'm waiting for the homebrew to chill.

I've enjoyed the kopi luwak beers I've had, but after De Struisse posted this, i won't be drinking any in the future.

This is what Mikkeller says about the coffee they use.

BEER GEEK BRUNCH WEASEL

September 19, 2013 / General Info

With the last days talk (http://korturl.dk/6b3) about crual treatment of Kopi Luwak producing civets it is important for us to say this:
We do not use Kopi Luwak from Indonesia in Beer Geek brunch Weasel. We use the Vietnamese variety cà phê Chồn.

We have been aware since we started using cà phê Chồn in 2008 that not all civet coffee world wide is produced with the best care and respect of the cats. Therefor we searched for and found one supplier of cà phê Chồn that treats the animals with respect and dignity.

This is a link to our producer, whom we have been in close contact with since we started working with them: http://choncoffee.com/

We use cà phê Chồn mainly or it’s special flavour (no bitterness) that complients the beer greatly. With that said we might look into using a natural enzyme simulated version in the future.

I give them huge props for even thinking about that before sourcing a ingredient like that

I actually posted the wrong article, but the gist is the same. Good to know Mikkeller thinks the producer is humane, but if that's the case, I wonder why he's considering switching?

Price?

True. It would also be interesting to know if what they got was actually kopi luwak. 50 times the amount produced is reported as being sold.
