What are you drinking now?

[Channel66]

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!! To all us dads. and I may be getting a mash tun for a gift so a quick question why do I see some with two 10 gallon coolers and some with one?

Some use the second as a hot liquor tun. Basically you heat all of your sparge water, and add it to the hlt. Which in a 3 tier is placed above the mlt, with the kettle on the bottom.

Some people use a second kettle and burner for the hlt.

Bad brewery names make me sad

Me too . I am currently drinking a Slumbrew FlowerEnvy Saison, it hasn't even hit the store shelves yet

So would you prefer one or two?

Personally I use a 2 burner set up when I'm brewing at home, I use a keggle for my hlt, fire it up while I'm mashing, I don't like to transfer hot water, or lift it.

With the second burner, I can heat my water to strike temp, open the valve and fill my mlt, while I'm mashing I'm heating up my sparge water without having to transfer it hot. Everyone has their own system though.

French pressed kona blend. Dropping a line out, see if I can snag me a monster fish.

Happy fathers day to those of you who are dad's

Next year I will be able to celebrate, while holding my first(we just found out). But this year my fermenters bought me a card.

Edit: yes I'm fishing off my deck. Go ahead, judge me

I bet Ozzie will be a great 'big brother'.

Ok thanks for the info. Guess I'm undecided on what I want

he will have his nose broken, so will her dog, the porcupine killer. they are both pretty spoiled. But they will be great with the lil one.

Moving on to a chilled glass of sauv blanc. Caught a little bass, but nothing else so far.

I would think about how you want to set it up. Figure out what will work with your space. Another thing to consider would be whether or not you want a second burner. Without it you are better off with a cooler, it will hold the temperature steady.

Not bad, as I seem to do well with porters and stouts. Have no clue why those come out so well.

Coffee & a cig. Tryin to get bright after bottling yesterday,gettin drunk,& waking up to a bit of a mess to clean. Got the grains & all outta the fridge & freezer for that 2nd PM Berlin Wheat kit from midwest (this one was the oopsie on there part). Cleaning the rollers on the grain mill ws a bit tedious. a 1" trim brush alone wouldn't get the grain kernals mashed into them out.
Had to use an exacto knife to get that stuff outta the knurls on the rollers.
Gotta crush some grains & clean it again...

A Father's Day Wookey Jack! I guess I know what I'll be brewing next...:rockin:

Having a G'Knight. Very tasty.

 

[mandasaurus_rex]

one eyed jack robust porter. not bad

 

[tyzippers]

About to mash in on my Blacksheep Vanilla Porter. Maybe a nice cigar while it's mashing if the rain holds off. Oh, and more HB Milk Chocolate Stout. Thank God for Home brew. The cash flow has gone stale. No commercial beer for me for a while.

Anyone know what the 2010 means on a Saint Somewhere bottle? Surely, this wasn't bottled in 2010, right? Holy carbonation on this beer by the way. The nose is quite sour almost stings the nostrils. The taste however doesn't translate that in my opinion. It is a good brew overall and I'm glad I brought it back from Florida.

Typically that's what that means. That's most likely got a few years age on it in the bottle! Nice score!

I found bottles here from 08. At $14, a little overpriced and I haven't been back to see if the others are still there. Based on my experience, your lucky you didn't get your phone knocked out of your hands or a cork in the eye taking that picture.

I'm drinking a 'black farmhouse IPA' or something equally dumb sounding. Not a bad beer, though I am surprised I brewed it. I generally hate both black IPA and black saison, so why I combined the two is beyond me.

Lol! Yeah, with other beers I've fought with the cork. This cork almost rocketed into my face.

My West Yorkshire Session Ale; cool & refreshing on a hot June afternoon.

Now I have the "Cannonball" baseline stuck in my head. Can't remember any of the words though...

Lot's of people don't like that stuff cuz it's "too sweet". That's the whole damn point!! It's supposed to taste like Creme Brulee! It's supposed to be sweet! And if I may say so, that is a great dessert beer! Or anytime beer that you're in the mood for it!! Now I have to go find a bottle!
