@beermeduffman

Were you out celebrating the USMC birthday or your own?

Thanks for your service.

Thanks, it was my honor.

Not necessarily on my own, no. There is are a few bars around town that do their own celebrations. The USMC was founded in the city and in a tavern, it only seems appropriate to celebrate that way.

I'm vaguely remembering 'dinner' last night. Jaeger bombs and taco bell. Where the hell were the adults to stop me from doing that?

Jaeger and taco bell? That would be fun when it comes up.

Dang, you are more patient than I am haha. Did you pitch any sacch with it in primary? That may be why it isnt quite as developed as youd like. I know it says there is sacch in the mix, but the few times I skipped pitching additional sacch in primary the results were bland. I've always pitched sacch with ecy20 though, so I cant be for sure thats the case here.

The taste is right and the acidity is right, just a lingering harshness? at the end. So I think it turned out good, just needs some extra time to smooth off the edges maybe.

It's amazing how sours take a crazy long time to go from completely disgusting to almost drinkable.

Great style.

I meant, or celebrating your own birthday, not on your own

Hydro sample of my BCBS (sort of) clone. Went from 1.120 to 1.022 for an ABV of 14.65%. Little hot, but I just brewed it Friday so....

The color is too light, but this is going to be a winner.

Wow.

Did you pitch 2 or 3 packs of 05?

Also, going to secondary for the bourbon or what?

It wouldn't of been the first time and it certainly won't be the last time lol
I'm notorious for buying rounds of shots for people who are clearly in no frame of mind/body for shots

It's interesting how similar in volume the scientific sample and the unscientific whiskely chaser are. Happy coincidence I guess.

4 packs.

Going to split the 8 gallons off into a base beer (3-4 gallons) and some 'variants,' bourbon, coffee, vanilla, etc. still working on that game plan.

That was intended.

(no, it wasn't)

I heard somewhere that the most scientific sample possible is approx. 10 oz.

(no, I didn't)

Nice. I need to get my RIS going. Have a barelywine sitting at 10% right now. Wish it was a little higher but I have a ~6gals (didnt boil enough but ok). The RIS will be higher for sure

Damn! Thats one big beer. I got 12.86% from those numbers though....

Use the alternate formula for big beers, supposed to be more accurate

Doesn't get much fresher than being bottled yesterday. Tastes and smells a lot more floral and fruity than ones I've had that were over a week old.

Interesting. Whats the premise behind that?

Not sure but the alternate one is more complex and is supposedly more accurate for high gravity brews compared to the simple formula. Don't ask me, I just work here.

 

[Psylocide]

They don't even go into detail... they're just all "Not all scientists agree as to which formula is best, Good luck ****face!"

Cooper's gave my IIPA an 8.66%, the regular one in the link gave the same. alternate formula gave 9.27%? OG was 1.082, FG thus far 1.016.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Here's a simple calculator:

Drink 12oz when sober. If you feel drunk afterwards, then ABV >13%; if you feel buzzed, then ABV > 10%; if you feel slightly woozy, ABV > 8%; otherwise you were drinking water.

 

[Qhrumphf]

The longer one is supposed to take real extract into account (actual residual sugar) and real attenuation (actual sugar consumed) and not just apparent extract (FG) or apparent attenuation.

If I recall correctly.

I actually charted the difference once. Don't remember what I did with it, but the they go back and forth up to about 6% and then widen, and above 10% it widens substantially. If you kept the difference between OG and FG the same but raised/lowered (ie 1.060/1.005 and 1.070/1.015) the difference changed as well, but I don't recall it being major.

I'll have to see if I can find my chart. I suppose I could make it again.
