What are you drinking now?

[jperry]

Having the last two pints, from a Lagunitas Sucks sixer. Sad to see it go...

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Way to keep things in perspective. I needed that

Yep. It can always be worse. Bad team and run out of what turned into a good beer. Next on tap tomorrow will be apfelwein aka "keg of bad idea". Damn pipeline is running thin with only 1 beer fermenting that still needs to be dry hopped and 2 ciders. Uh oh. At least I have a whole bunch of random beers bottled already...

 

[wburns]

Made it to Wegman's tonight. Been a good night!

You mean pint and cup? Or did you find sucks in tall boy cans? That would be awesome.

I was considering doing a 5 gal batch of apfelwein. Is this a bad idea?

Even though this bad boy showed up frozen due to everyone's polar tundra weather, still was great. thanks FermentNEthinG

 

[BrewinHooligan]

4th and last pour of my Nelson/Galaxy/Simcoe IPA tonight with a nice pipe. It's the perfect 65 degree night for it

 

[Nagorg]

Eagle Rare!

 

[day_trippr]

Triple Chocolate Double Imperial Stout.

It's my bedtime snack and a simply wonderful soporific...

Cheers!

 

[mrgstiffler]

Drinking this little guy. Not quite as good as previous years but still one of the best available.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Water and soon coffee. Just shoveled for the 4th time and about to hit the road to CT. This ought to be fun...

 

[Schlenkerla]

Gatorade and popping Tylenol. Got the flu....

 

[CliffMongoloid]

-2 here... coffee

 

[coldcrash]

Green tea while I try to thaw out after shoveling

 

[Remmy]

1F here. Coff.

 

[DisturbdChemist]

Pipesandcigars.com has some of the best prices I have found. Get some mason jars to store it in. Tabacco ages very well... I have about 300 cigars napping in spanish cedar too

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Home Brew mobile app

I get their emails. I got a few but not that many cigars. Mainly just my expensive/special ones. I usually buy/smoke the same day.

Not pint house. Quickie Pickie. Small place on E 11th. Close to the hotel, solid food and nice tap list, come here at least once a week.

Guess I do not know Austin that well. Looks like that place has a good tap selection. Wish more places like that are over in Houston, especially the north side

 

[MrNickVT]

with a wind chill of -30 to -40 today. FML no mountain for me today. Having some vitamin water.

It's good. Dispensing by keg makes it a little too easy to drink, leading to overconsumption and resulting in a massive hangover. I know from experience haha

More coffee since it's 3° out

 

[jak1010]

Gotcha. Thanks for the warning.

That is the purpose of the coronita bottles; small amounts that make it easier to consume in... Limited quantities.

Try aging apfelwein on fruit. Makes it even easier to consume.

Coffee, was a balmy 7° this morning. Sure the trapped mouse appreciated the release in the park.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Coffee, coffee and more coffee. It is cold out there!

 

[BrewinHooligan]

2nd mug o' coffee, still trying hard to wake up

 

[finsfan]

Not at all! I have already made and bottled two 5 gallons batches. They go quick as a lot of people enjoy them

Coffee, coffee and more coffee. It is cold out there!

Safe travels. I think the emaw package is stuck in snow, although it still says friday. We will see

 

[Remmy]

More Coff. Luckily, the snow is very light.

Good to know. I've heard people say they pitch and then bottle in 3-4 weeks. Others say 3-4 months. I'm going to try both.

Both of mine were in primary for 5 weeks. Both were more than drinkable at bottling.

I've made about 10 batches or so. First few were montrachet yeast and followed edwort's recipe to a T, and I have a 6 gallon batch using Nottingham going right now at about 2 months in. Will likely try a sample tonight and bottle that batch in the near future. All have sat for at least 6 weeks or so, and my currently kegged batch was done at 3 months. I try to have at least 2 going at the same time as it goes fast. Trying different additions of brown sugar and cinnamon sticks on my current versions.

More coffee!

 

[jak1010]

Thanks for the replies!

Coke with lunch. guess who got sent home due to weather...

Roads were fine and traffic non-existent so I made god time. I don't think they will update the delivery date until they actually get the package from the drop-off location (which still hasn't happened.). I'm guessing that will be today and maybe they will deliver on Saturday.

I was hoping for saturday, I dont think I can wait until Tuesday!

 

[DisturbdChemist]

Some ginger ale with lunch and just thinking what to do today.

Sounds like you should throw some Sailor Jerry in that Coke then :rockin:

Guess who is jealous. Then again, if I was able to drive in to work at 6am in a rear wheel drive sportier car than anyone should be able to get in. It is a shame people do not know how to drive when there is moisture within about 5 miles of them.

Made a batch over a year ago, 6 week primary then bottle. Super hot, just now drinkable. Should have secondaried or primary for longer. I'll stick to straight juice no sugar in the future.

I never give it less than 3 months, preferably 6 months, then transfer to a keg and will even toss another batch on the lees of the previous one (I will sometimes top off with fresh yeast too though). Never had a hot batch with the traditional 5 gallons (almost) juice and 2 lbs sugar.

 

[Remmy]

Having a Snake Dog IPA with lunch.





Just saw a beast on a tree limb. These birds are amazing killers.

I think I'll have a beer. I already drank the coke before I read this. but those little 7.5oz cans I get are just the right size for my booze & coke glasses! my Aussie BIL used to pour the big bottle of Coke into a keg & add rum to taste so he could have rum & Coke on tap. he said he over did it with Bundeburg OP in the keg once. I imagine it was pretty rough until he could add more Coke.

I personally like the longer primary; have one that I have been to lazy to bottle; it has been almost 2 years.

My normal primary is 4 months, with the occasional secondary on fruit.

Water, stuck in the weekly staff meeting.

That sounds like a helluva good time.... Until the next day
