What are you drinking now?

[Qhrumphf]

Anything like a solera?

I would call it some hybrid of a burton union, krausening, and solera. Except instead of aging for years it's hours or days. The process makes sense but it's different. Basically constant stream of new wort in, constant stream of fresh beer out, with wort brewed and held in a storage tank, with a series of fermentation tanks where varied proportions of fermenting beer, new wort, yeast, and finished beer are pumped to and fro to essentially keep the various fermentation phases all going perpetually and at the same time. That's what I'm getting out of it at least. Fascinating.

Yea,my brain's bunched, long trying day and I get to do it again tomorrow.,
One more, this is still getting better, going to be great when I get to the last bottle,

First you want to be English, now a Kiwi?

 

[Qhrumphf]

First you want to be English, now a Kiwi?

A) The Maori are f***ing BADASSES.

B) The rest of the folks on those islands might as well be British.

C) No.

I realize that the best ipas are brewed right down the road

I agree, but you're on the wrong road .

Just picked up my first 4 pack of 2014....good fresh or better to age?

 

[jak1010]

Jack and coke on a plane.

Side note: I'm on a plane with not one, but two hot stewardesses (or flight attendants for the PC folk). I think I won some kind of lottery. Should a play the real lottery tomorrow?

You go to TX or did DC come to CT?

Good stuff. @finsfan - ever age this stuff?

 

[Qhrumphf]

One more pint of Mild and then going to bed.

 

[mattmmille]

My first Jai Alai. Not disappointing. Glass is one of a set of four tasting glasses from my firstborn daughter and son in-law.

 

[kev211]

You should probably play it tonight and see if one (or both) can help make you more comfortable?

Mile high club?

Unfortunately, both of the hotties were in coach. :-(

I went to TX.

I aged one 8 months last year and the vanilla faded quick. I wont be doing that again, much better fresh.

Drinking coffee and working on a business plan for a new opportunity for me in the rocky mountains.

Heard that... I'm the only sucker in engineering today. In about 5 minutes I will be attacked by the salesman that have been here for 10 years, yet ask the same question every day. This place is like living in Groundhog Day, without Bill funking Murray.

Tim Hortons coffee. Black. Then a lot of water to prepare for tonight. Taking my first keg to a party, likely to embarrass myself.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

This is good. Good. Good.

Love that brewery name - and the beer is great too!

Watered down coke. Need to get home to beer!
Picked up one of these. I'm such a sucker for glassware.

The best birthday gifts are the ones we buy ourselves!

Exactly how much Bieber wrapping paper did your brother buy?!

Having coffee for the first time in three days. Waiting to see how this first cup settles before making another. I need to really push my system to get in shape so I can have at least a beer or two tonight.

Water. Today sucks.

Just remember to bring the keg early so it has time to settle. I'd bleed it a couple of times when you get there and then put it back on gas at serving pressure. Keep it cold, of course. It's going to be great.


Water, a lot of it. Absolutely shat time sleeping last night. We need off switches on our mind. Lots of coffee, three espressos to be exact...and a protein shake. Hoping to get the notice that we can bail early on work. NYE plans fell through yesterday though. Sad face.

 

[Remmy]

Coff.

coffee... not a good end to the year

Why not?

I've never had a New Year's resolution. But I am making a few right now.

1) Drink more.
2) Brew more than 40 batches next year (came close this year at 37).
3) Drink more. Even if it means being fat.

My resolutions will be as follows:
Drink more
Do less exercise
Eat Horribly
Set more realistic goals.

Lies! I think you'd rather be dead than fat.
I pegged you for having brewed more than 37. Do you keg yet or is that something you'll start now that you bought the wife a new fridge?

I never make resolutions, there is no real reason behind that. I'd personally just like to finally have a better year. We shall see!
