What are you drinking now?

[Ridire]

No comment on the pre-game technical. Go state! This beer is amazing!

That rule has been around at the High School level forever. Is it new at the NCAA level? They always used to dunk in warmups.

I need a Remmy shirt.

My gf works part time for express....i got us covered

 

[Matthias]

Drinking Deschutes Hop Henge experimental IPA. Too lazy to take a picture and also completely unsure what the hell I'm tasting. I don't hate it, but I can't place this dominant flavor of mouth punching.

 

[BGBC]

Prairie/Evil Twin collab - Bible Belt. Imperial stout aged on vanilla/coffee/chile peppers/cacao nibs.

Sounds great, but is it much different from Bomb?

Drinking DC's coffee oatmeal stout. This is pretty darn tasty. I would buy this.



Liking the coffee flavor. How did you treat it?

If that's just a flannel long sleeve shirt, I was in college during the Pearl Jam/Nirvana era. I've got a whole closet full of those gems.

 

[Ridire]

Yikes, fins. A hot Kentucky is as good as anyone in the nation. Hope you didn't get them on the wrong night.

Although a Calipari v Pitino matchup is intriguing.

No, not much. I was thinking the conversation went like this, "Hey, Evil Twin Brewing, we need a spot to brew bomb!, can we use your spot? If you let us, we'll call it a collaboration."

In all seriousness, it's a bit different but still great.

 

[wobrien]

Ovila Quad with plums. Too sweet, no bueno.

 

[jonmohno]

My German Ipa III.Why? Because its award winning only in my mouth. ipe: ... and its kinda half of my lame supper tonight too. Mmm.. beer calories. Carbs and carbonation = beer. Plus hops and barley and stuff.

Decided to go with a good old fashioned homer beer

BTW, how in the world do you foul a guy shooting a three when you're up four near the buzzer?! Come on!

Gutsy shot. I like it.

I didn't see it. I've heard people call BS on the call...but if there was someone within two feet of the shooter, it serves him right.

He deserved the foul for being stupid

OK, the very last brew day question, I swear.

I have a grain bill of 11 lbs. (all 2 Row for a SMaSH Pale)

I am planning to mash in 3.25 gallons (167F before adding grain)

Sparge will be 5.5 gallons at around 170F

I'm using RO water and adding around 0.5 tsp calcium chloride and 0.25 tsp baking soda to my mash water.

0.75 tsp calcium chloride to the sparge water.

Any glaring problems?

EDIT: goal is 6.25-6.5 gallons pre-boil.

But a team named after the Six Million Dollar Man just advanced to the round of 32. How can you not get excited about that?

I agree with your take on the game Wes, it was totally a fumble

You didn't say what you are drinking now, or what you plan on drinking during the brew .

I don't do anything with water chemistry, so I can't help with that. Water temps and volume seem reasonable. Preheat the mash tun with hot water.

Oh, I'm excited. I'm so excited that I feel like ripping out my brain and dribbling it down the driveway.

Right now, Ruthless Rye. During brew, Final Absolution with a CAO Gold cigar.

EDIT: and water chemistry was even simpler with BIAB because I made the volumes work to even out my mash volume and my "sparge" water.

Glad you liked it. I cold steeped about 4qts of coffee and added it to the keg when I kegged it.

Having an old ipa. It's still tasty. Need to get one fresh

Yet again, the garage failed me not. Might visit it again this evening.

Isn't that a tough style to brew? Most recipes I see call for taking some portion of the first runnings and boiling it separately, etc. Sounds very complicated.

 

[wobrien]

Water.


I'm half in the bag and I've got a big day of drinking tomorrow. Going to the Flyers/Blues game and my fantasy baseball draft.

 

[Ridire]

Recycled picture.

Laughing at my bad parenting moment of the evening. My 5 year old wanted to play Chess. I love Chess but didn't have the energy to play it with a 5 year old tonight. So, I suggested we play some mindless Wii game.
