What are you drinking now?

Started early with the wife because on brew day it’s always 5 o’clock lol. NEIPA with 2019 Comet, Galaxy, and Nelson.

Quick pit stop in Portsmouth before stopping by Tod and Martha’s place for a pull of MTL

No head retention what so ever but flavor is really good

I’m thinking about trying peanut butter the next time I brew my imperial chocolate milk stout. I remember someone on this thread recommending a specific pb powder but I can remember who it was?

Good day to pick up beer completely different weather from yesterday. Yesterday the weather was beautiful. Plus the biggest reduction in wait was people just giving up and leaving. No ones gonna wait in this heavy rain and temps. Guarantee there'll be hardly any wait.

I think the syrup kills the head retention. But that’s just my opinion with no real experience. Tasty though for the beer and what they wanted.

My guess is it’s the lower ph from the Lacto and fruit. Certainly is delish though

Delish.

Onto Tributary Hop Harvest before heading home to hunker down with football and beer!

i’ve made a peanut butter porter in the past and used PB2 powder.

How much and when did you add it?

All good, problem with a statin affecting liver numbers. Doctor said not to drink for 2 weeks before blood test so he can narrow it down. I offered to stop the statin and only drink beer before the test, I take it he doesn't drink from his look. Don't know if I trust someone who doesn't drink, how else would you cope with pressures of live, take a drug with side effects?

Listen to your Dr. Give your liver a break, it and your life will thank you! You can survive 2 weeks without alcohol. Pretty sure you can't survive 2 weeks without your liver! I'm a retired cardio-thoracic nurse...just saying.

This Celestron 11in is MUCH lighter then the 10in Meade I had for years. Like you, in my 50s so every little bit helps. Nice to see another enthusiast!

OT..Subway unsweetened tea.

Well I'm 55 now. Skin is getting thin, legs hurt more now a days, can't stand the cold here like when I started stargazing with my 1st 60mm Alt-AZ back in the 70's. Getting harder to lug this stuff out. I used to be out for 5-6 hours 10°. Viewing is always better without the heat shimmer but this old veteran just can't do that anymore!!

 

[Abrayton]

My parents came through!

 

[GnenieGone]

I think the players from the state of Nebraska didn't help neither! [emoji6]

The schools from the state of IN were not kind to the Huskers today.

 

[aharri1]

Hot outside brewing an motueka IPA today for a beer festival with my club.

 

[seanjwalker1]

Delish!

More than Dlish! One of the best beers on the planet! First time I had one as a 19 y/o soldier in Germany 1984 I was weirded out! I thought "these people are crazy! This is fermented ham juice!". By the time I left 2 years later, Rauchbier and Aventinus Doppelbock was all I was drinking. Took me years to even look at an American beer! I would walk 2 miles to the nearest Piggly Wiggly at Ft.Hood Texas just to buy a Hofbrau!

They didn’t suck the entire game.

Thumbs up on the Founders...for past love of their brews. Gonna have to give up my fave Scotch ale and find another brand till Founders cleans up their act.

 

[seanjwalker1]

Don’t stop there, they’re all stupid Maybe not boxing. I wouldn’t know about it, accept for the hubby watching, what I get for marrying a husker.

My momma always said Husker is, is Husker does! Midwest Big10! It's all good! Michigan, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin! The American heartland!

The weather seems to be telling me it's stout season.

I used to have an Orion 10 inch DOB mounted on an old CG5 head on a pier and a Celestron ASGT GOTO. It was the size of a cannon and weighed a ton! Got rid of it and the ASGT after 3 years, kept the CG5 mount head and pier. Wish I'd kept the ASGT though. Much better than my Nexstar 8se mount I use now.

You need to read about Founders being sued. Nothing wrong with their Dirty Bastard. Being who I am, I can't support a company who tolerates racism.

so looking at my notes. I added 1 jar at flameout and then racked it onto another jar and cocoa nibs

Interesting but in today’s day and age we have to let things have due process. Will follow this one and hope it was a person and not an institutional thing

So do I. Hate to give up my go to Scotch ale! Though Bells Scotch ale would be a decent replacement!

 

[pshankstar]

Thanks @TheEagleRising!

 

[jimyson]

Getting there. Primed and added a skim coat to finish. I’m pretty happy with the results with it being my first time doing drywall work.

Time to add another coat to the door from hell.

 

[smurfjuice]

Miserable day today but the weef made a pot o' chilli, and i put up 2 cases of relish. garden is done so time for beer and feetball.

@JCasey1992

Use the brewers best pb extract. You get a lot of loss due to absorption from the powder plus I've heard the flavor doesn't even last long. I use a whole bottle of extract per 5 gallon keg and get a strong peanut butter flavor.
