What are you drinking now?

[TNGabe]

So far my Smoked Black Saison (3 bottles left), a PBR, and a FG sample of my Maris/Willamette SMaSH.

Trying to figure out WTF happened with my brew day yesterday. 45% eff...missed my pre boil by over 2 gallons. Very confused.

So you used two more gallons than needed or less? That's a lot

Second pour.

My pre boil volume was over 2 gallons less.
I looked at the grain when I was done and nothing was dry or clumped. I was getting good flow with the first runnings then after I did my batch sparge. Water amounts were right each time according to Beer Smith as well as the general 1.25 quarts to pounds of grain (I had 13 lbs). I mashed with 4 gallons of water then my sparge water was actually 4.25 gallons. I ended up with 4 gallons of wort and 5 gallons pre-boil.

Even though I ****ed up the temp, I cannot imagine that would have resulted in smaller pre-boil volume. I'm confused and as I sat at work all day thinking about it, I got more annoyed and started to doubt moving to all grain. Sorry for the ramble. I have a thread on my f'ed up mash temp but that doesn't seem to have anything to do with the other issues. Who knows ... I'm just going to drink.

Keep asking your places. They get distributed at different times. Massachusetts had it three weeks ago. We just got it today

I'm going to do some investigating. Even though those kinds of releases hardly ever see time on the shelf here, I doubt I completely missed their release.

How much off on temp? That's weird. The grain might soaked more water water than normal or miss measured. I have my numbers but I'm loosely depended on it. I do all grain and never missed by that much.


Still sipping on the yeti and poured a small pour of Ranger Creek .44 rye whiskey. Yummy and last of the night

 

[InityBrew]

A splash of ranger creek + yeti = poor man's "barrel aged" stout. Delightful.

Meh, not too bad for $6.59 a sixer.

Netflix and hb stout

 

[TNGabe]

I am drinking my hard cider mixed with 'Junior Johnson's Midnight Moon Apple Pie'. There doesn't appear to be a shame emoticon, or I'd use it.

On the bright side the brett I bottled the cider with, or something from the spontaneous fermentation, appears to be making some CO2. CO2 hasn't dissolved and it is still pretty flat, but as long as I don't mix it with anymore terrible schnappshine, it could be pretty decent.

I'm also trying to make applejack on the porch.

It's on the side for now but the last bit will be in the yeti lol


Edit. Couldn't wait. Already did it. You talked me in to it

 

[gometz]

Just sampled my saison again, gravity is at 1.004. It is tasting a bit thin, but that could be because it is warm and flat. Drinking a HB porter now.

Sent from my SGH-I747 using Home Brew mobile app

Edited multiple times because of misspellings on my phone.

Also: I know at 1.004 I should expect thin, but I had hoped WY3711 would give a fuller body even at that FG.

Wouldn't call that ranger creek whiskey a poor mans anything. Not for what they charge for it.

 

[WesleyS]

I agree.
Alright, where's the cone of shame? Whoever has it pass it to Gabe.

 

[BGBC]

How is that one? I just bought one over the holidays and put it in the cellar, should I drink it sooner or later?

Drink it

 

[TNGabe]

I can only like a post once, so I'll quote you. I think I'm on my third, so that's shame to the eighth power.

It's not but damn they are tastey. They are my special whiskey. Still have the first bottle I bought from them. Need to get another rimfire.


I lied. Some apple pie moonshine now

Gabe's drunk.

Warning, this is pedantic:
Shame to third power, 2^3=8, but "shame to the eighth power" would mean (shame)^8

The next to last bottle of an all Amarillo IPA I brewed over the summer. Man is this delicious!!!

 

[MrNic]

Got this in an emaw. Pretty tasty.
