More water. Can't wait until 4 for beer.
Anyone know if a brand new, never opened gallon of paint is good after it has sat for 3 years in a garage? I bought 2 gallons, never used them and never opened them. I assume I should take them to Home Depot when I buy the foyer paint and have them shaken well.

I think if it's well sealed/never opened, it would be fine. Having it shaken would probably be a good idea. I bet they would open it and check it for you too.

I'm headed to a comic book convention this weekend and won't be around here to drink. Hopefully, SWMBO won't give me a hard time about having one or two at the hotel. But I wanted to check on my McQuinn's Robust Porter and see if it's ready to share with some locals. So I grabbed one to open...didn't chill it first...it's cool, but not cold. I opened the bottle and put my nose at the top for a sniff and I got a nostril full of bubbles. Dang...a gusher. Is it going to do that when it's cold? The carb calculator I've been using for the last few batches has been pretty reliable. Anyway...fizzy, but no head at room temp. Color is dark, like a cola and has good clarity. Malt and a little alcohol in the aroma. Flavor is smooth with a some malt, but not a lot of roased grain or hops bitterness. The carb may be a little too much for a robust porter, but it's easy to drink. A little alcohol warmth rises back up in the chest and sinuses, but it's not "hot" or harsh. I'm not thinking this is a competition worthy example, but I'll happily drink it!

Better late then never!



Mwahahaha. I think that batch is one of the best in years. I have hopes for it going forward. There was also an undated release for last year that isn't the same, but haven't got confirmation it's got anything to do with B United importing bulk and packaging here like they do with some other stuff. Have you made it out to OEC yet? Any chance you're giving tired hands $3k?:D


I saw the post on FB right before I lady to come home. I tried to talk myself into re 1K level but can't do it.

Home Sweet Beer!
