[BUCKNUTS]

Do you use the outdoor spigot to get water to your chiller during the winter? That is one of the main reasons I rarely brew during the cold months.

God that looks yummy. Never had a RIS though.

Brew day, *******.

Kind of wish I got a pot with a thermometer on it, though I would probably break it somehow.

Washed hands 20 times so far today, massive amounts of water and supplements. Not letting this cold get me.

I use mine, although its not as cold here as it is in your area. I keep my hose inside and only take it out to chill. The spigot has been frozen shut before so I just pour boiling water on it until it unfreezes. I was able to chill 12 gallons of saison the other week to 60 degrees in under 30 minutes. Thats the best part of cold weather brewing IMO.

I feel there is no point to have a thermometer on the boil kettle. The mash yes. just useless..

Probably going to pick up a new boil kettle and possible a conical with the tax return I'm getting

I'm jealous @remmy . Need to brew again. Got a yeast cake than needs a new brew on it. Do not have time to get to the brew shop.

I use mine, but always shut-off the supply in the basement until I need it. That way i don't have any issues when I'm ready to use it (and no busted pipes in the house!)

During the spring and summer months, yes, I do. It's just to the right of that pic. Problem during winter is, I don't keep the hose outside and the line on the chiller I have isn't long enough to reach the faucet. So, I haul the pot into my basement where I have a farmhouse sink with a threaded faucet.

I've done enough explaining. I need another beer.

Dude, you even managed to get pepper on the coffee mug. FML

Oh right, that reminds me... I should probably get one of those digital thermometers that I can drop in the mash to keep an eye on the temp while it sits right?

Hope sinuses clear up so I can drink tonight... man.

Agreed. I take temp after wort is chilled with my bbq thermometer.

Tax returns. Thanks for reminding me. I need a vacation and am throwing the remainder at my kids' 529. Either that or my Roth, but I don't want to be selfish.

You can do that. I usually check it in the beginning and not again. Usually it wont drop maybe a degree or two. I use an igloo cooler so it keeps temp pretty well. I used to wrap my mash tun in an old sleeping bag when i mashed in a pot. Opening often just releases more heat though minimal

I used to think the same and didnt have a thermometer attached to the BK but it is much more convenient when chilling to have a thermometer constantly in contact with the wort, that had been boiled and you know is sanitized. Im glad I got one with my new BK

Wtf is a "tax return?"

You mean that $50 the government gives me back every year in Feb?

Thats 20 more than Remmy has all year and he frequently relieves himself outdoors right before grilling meats for the fam.

Is still get a good chunk back. Nothing outstanding but its nice to get some money back

Negative. I'm no male nurse. But I do wash my hands before I do anything related to food.

There are men and there are boys.

And you are?

 

[TheCADJockey]

Osnap ... eh? Get it? Hahaaaaaa. Yep.

Coffee.

 

[BUCKNUTS]

Remmy probably knows I'm kidding.

 

[Ridire]

@Remmy - I've thought about dragging the BK down to the basement to chill. I foresee very bad things whenever I consider it.

@TaxReturns - if you are getting a big refund, you are doing it wrong.

@Finsfan - Hi, Finsfan.

Things about Old '77 that you should note: I refuse to pay for coffee, yet I love good coffee. Conundrum.

Then again he has demonstrated sensitivity in the past. Elevated estrogen from overconsumption of ethanol?

Checked out a review for Zombie Dust color since I am brewing the clone tomorrow. Found this gem: [ame]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WTeflNpMbyY[/ame] So, is the beer pungent or astringent?

@Finsfan - Hi, Finsfan.

Interesting perceptive.....

I love you all equally. That's how much I give a ****.

I hate it when people at work say "right" at the end of every sentence. And the word "leverage." **** you.


Brew day is over. 92% efficiency. That's at least 90% for my last 4 brews. Not sure what the **** is going on and I don't like it.

 

[TheCADJockey]

I don't get those, unless you are referring to the people that answer your sentence with, "right!?" in order to truncate the equally unpleasant, "I know right!?". There is a special place in the darkest corner of my heart for the hatred of these people.

Was going to drink water, before a sudden, minor nosebleed tinted it a nice Irish red color like that Mio water flavoring garbage. Done. Just done.

 

[mhurst111]

I'm with fins on this one. Nice to have a thermometer on the BK for when you are chilling the wort down. Not needed but nice.

Plus you get to look at the thermometer while waiting to get to a boil and estimate if you have time to run downstairs and get a beer before it really gets boiling.

@TaxReturns - if you are getting a big refund, you are doing it wrong.

Agreed - try to get it within a few hundred either way, owe or get back.

Mine changes so much from week to week that I stay right on top of it. If I'm off by more than $200 I am usually pissed about it.

I don't have a clue what word he was looking for there. Astringent isn't an aroma. It's a mouth sensation.

Water.

No. I'm talking about the ones that try to explain **** and end every point with "right."

He's another one. Very Dar-like with the lip-smacking and quite frankly making **** up about beer aroma and flavor.

 

[Ridire]

No. I'm talking about the ones that try to explain **** and end every point with "right."

But what is the problem with "leverage"? It's a real word with real meaning.

You must not have to suffer its use by people from the marketing department. They can make any word feel like bamboo spikes under the fingernails. ipe:

So is "right." It's just mother****ing annoying. Now, that's a real word.

Anyone a fan of Colin Cowherd? If you are, I'm sorry. Dude got owned by Dan Patrick yesterday. He's a ******, right up there with Jim Rome.

haha yea big fan of dan patrick- it was weird colin brought it up the way he did... didnt even make sense

 

[Ridire]

You must not have to suffer its use by people from the marketing department. They can make any word feel like bamboo spikes under the fingernails. ipe:

Ah, no, I don't deal with marketing people. I get the problem now. You are "leveraging your market share, etc. etc."

I use it all the time because I am negotiating deals. I have discussions with clients about what their negotiating leverage is, given the circumstances, so that they do not overplay or underplay their hand. In that context, I cannot imagine another word to use.
