Pretty sure he spelled "you're" incorrectly. And for that reason, I'm out.

Go Ducks Go.

Grabbed that off the web didnt even notice it wasn't spelled correctly. Them again ad Cardale Jones once famously tweeted.

GO BUCKS!!!

 

[Hello]

If you are planning to use Brett make sure you use cubes and not chips. They take longer to release flavor, which will give the Brett time to work. I usually use medium toast Hungarian or French. Personally, I like white wine like Chardonnay for sours, but if I have to actually the wine prefer a red like cab Sauv or Malbec.

Also, Brett doesn't need fermentables to impart flavor. There is enough other stuff it can chew on.

I have a decent Malbec on hand that I could use. I used chips once and there was some debate over chips, spirals, cubes etc. Turns out that cubes are widely preferred, at least in my limited research. Either way, I intend to boil them to extract color mostly. That sample I pulled is by far the prettiest this beer has been. I don't want to totally change that.

I intend to pitch some more brett dregs. I just need to figure out which beer I can drink or buy and do that. Such a bummer?! haha

Also, I found the infection on 6/4/14. I pitched brett dregs on 10/21/2014 and will pitch again soon. I'm trying to figure out how long I need to let it ride before I can bottle. I intend to bottle and cork. It is at 1.002 now but I assume it may move slightly if I add the cubes and the brett. It is such a fun process and all of this being unintentional.

I still stress out over the process and am lacking a few things that would make it much easier. A propane burner and larger brew pot, specifically... the heavy duty pot I have takes a very, very long time to boil on my kitchen stove. Excuses.

If you want to stay inside, get a heat stick. There are ones you can just put in the pot and they hang over the side or you can drill a hole and go with a weldless fitted one. You can get a 110v heat stick that will simply aide in the boil process. I would get something like an 1800 watt stick and then you should be good.

Not to deter you from propane, but the burner and the pot purchase combined, you may just be fine buying the stick.

Smart gril! edit: then you couldn't sleep, you should have drank!

Haha right? It sucks...the mind is just always on. I hate it.

Ive come to the difficult decision that I will be rooting for your team tonight.

Why would anybody outside of the state of oregon not be rooting for my underdog Buckeyes? Young team with their 3rd string qb playing against a team everybody thought would be there. You would have to be a complete a-hole(Remmy) to root for the ducks tonight.

 

[wyobrewer1]

Brett is slower, so I would probably give it at least a week or more on a stir plate. Maybe a couple weeks if no stir plate.

Obviously there are exceptions based on batch size, OG, yeast viability, etc.

I don't have a stir plate so I'm thinking about starting it today and brewing not this Friday but next. Thanks for the advice.

Haha I am rooting for them, just have to give you a little schit. Jones is a beast for a 3rd string QB who would have been starting on most other teams to begin the season. Should be an entertaining game tonight! :rockin:

Another week in the office. Austin this weekend. Having water and a energy drink. Got great efficiency on my brew yesterday for my sour stout. Was initially a 1.066 but got 1.082

I am rooting for oregon, and I live in pa, I'm a cuse fan so I was rooting against fsu and for Oregon cause I hate Jamesis Winston and they are a Acc rival, I don't hate Ohio state but I don't like urban Meyer and I thought him tressel was a cheat, the organization has turned it around tho, I like Marcus Mariotta and think Oregon has a good program, for those reasons I am rooting for Oregon, a lot of pa residents are rooting for Oregon tho, psu fans hate Ohio state, go figure

Drinking water

 

[PatrickGoss]

Man, I'm excited!



Did you make it to your destination okay?





Coffee & Water. I couldn't sleep so I prepared a stew to go into the slow cooker. It occurred to me that I've never actually made stew before. It smells good already so there is that. There are no mushrooms though @chefrex. I've been wildly productive this morning and all before sunrise. I don't like it.



It is raining hard, flooding the yard and the streets. I didn't bother to pull dog out of bed because it would only stress her out to pee in the rain. Hopefully it eases up soon so she can go.

I made it. Three and a half hours for a two hour drive with enough wheel slippage for the drive to take 11 more miles than normal on the odometer.

Mariotta is a class act and am very glad they took FSU/Winston to the wood shed. I dont really care who wins tonight but hoping for an entertaining game. The only reason I am leaning towards Ohio State is simply because they were not picked preseason to make the playoffs. Oregon is normally always in the mix and its refreshing to see new blood. This is exactly why so many people wanted a playoff system and the fans are getting exactly what they want this year. Flocc Bama!

More coffee after taking the puppy for a walk in the freezing rain to get my son on the bus after a 2-hour delay. Lucky her, she gets to sleep on her pillow now, while I get to work.

More coffee while watching the snow fall. Not feeling like doing work today. At least I showed up haha

Rough Monday so far. I just want to go outside and face plant in the snow bank.

Maybe the last 2 pints were unnecessary last night. Was moving slow as hell this morning.

Yeah man... had those two floccin' pbr's before I quit. If I stopped after the ipa's, I would've been golden.

Finally rehydrated and able to switch to coffee.

Transitioning from coffee to Diet Cherry Pepsi...1 kid home sick and another went in late. A little grocery shopping and a trip to the home project big box store and back home. Kid still asleep. Dreary outside, but not pouring rain anymore.

Thank goodness. The creek is full and so are my neighbor's yards.
Stew in the crockpot makes this dreary day semi worth it.

Around here they won't mark down an old IPA never the less a stout.

Ah yes the old Jim Tressel ran a rogue program excuse to explain why he made the entite Big Ten his bitch. It didnt happen that way at all in fsct the whole "tattoo gate" thing was a sham an ncaa witch hunt. The miami hurricanes players are given Money and drugs and hookers and private parties on yachts and they get no sanction from the NCAA. Ohio State's players trade their own fear for tattoos and we lose an entire season and our coach gets a five-year show cause. What a farce.

he knew and lied about knowing about players receiving improper Benefits, I think if he had not of lied during that press conference the punishment would of been less

Got a New Belgium variety pack on the way home from work this morning. Wow does the 'Abbey' Belgian dubbel taste awful. All I get from it I the wonderful aftertaste of cherry Robitussin.
Pm the other hand, both the Ranger and the Rampant are good.
