Finally.

There you go.

 

[Hello]

Still cheaper than the bottle I randomly opened on a Thursday morning

You're slightly obsessed with that Sam Adam's, huh?

Okay baller.

How do you figure I am obsessed with Sam Adams? Point me in the direction where you could have come to that conclusion. I'll start...there is a lack of beers that I drink of their's and move onto a lack of beers I have of theirs. If you paid attention though, which I kind of think you don't, you'd know I brewed a gallon batch for a friend and needed the beer to compare ergo, my ISO. Hardly call that obsessed. I guess if that is obsessed then you're pretty obsessed with making sure people know that you're drinking in the morning because you work third shift.

Not saying I don't like SA but I can name 25 beers I'd rather drink. Brewing a clone has indeed made me focus on one of their now discontinued beers but even so, who cares if I do like SA? We can't all drink $30+ bottles of beers in the morning for show.


Drinking HB SA Imperial White clone with SA Imperial White & a sample of a 2 month old supposed stout that I cannot decide if I should dump or keep. I have 9.5 gallons of it. I think I nearly nailed the SA attempt. No real recipe online so this is all me.

I said -THAT- Sam Adam's. Meaning imperial white. I think you need a hot shower??

 

[Hopinista]

I think you took me all wrong, no offense was meant.

 

[Hopinista]

And I do pay attention, which is why I noticed several posts about the white. Hence my comment.

I'm good on my end. It was just a weird statement to make. I'm okay with being obessed with a brewery that has turned into a bit of an icon. But if you ever brew an actual clone, being interested in nailing it may make more sense. I brewed it for a friend and truth be told, if he is pleased then it will certainly please me.

Several is about 5 if you include my ISO. But tell you what, you're awesome and a winner...that should settle this, right?



Drinking water. I don't think 1.5 10% beers on an empty stomach was a good idea.

 

[Hopinista]

hb biere de garde, I don't drink for show, I drink to drink

 

[Remmy]

God damnit with all this floccing rambling.

I'm not trying to win I think I'm somehow in a fight I had no idea I entered. I'm not trying to be confrontational. sorry if you're taking things that way

 

[Hello]

We're not in a fight, go drink your drink.

 

[Ridire]

God damnit with all this floccing rambling.

I thought it was way over my head when I first downloaded that spreadsheet, and it takes me a while to remember how to use it each time, but it's not as bad as it initially looks.

I start with RO water and set Bru'n Water to 100% dilution. As I said before, I just take the spreadsheet's word for the fact that my grain bill and my water additions are hitting the pH that the spreadsheet tells me. I am interested to see how close I really get.

Do you keep some baking soda and some sort of calcium chloride right by your mash so you can adjust the pH on the fly?

I use calcium chloride and gypsum usually. You can use baking soda, but too much and you will start detecting the salt in your beer.

 

[Hopinista]

We're not in a fight, go drink your drink.

I did, thank you

 

[Ridire]

Thanks. So, gypsum to drop the pH and Calcium Chloride to increase the pH.

Learning Ph was the hardest part of brewing for me to be honest.

Slapping this beer while I play Tetris on the 8-bit during my last meeting of the week.

Can I work where you work? I have my bachelor's...

Not this. This is literally the 3rd infected bottle I've had from Knee Deep. It's sad because I really like this beer.

 

[MrNickVT]

Speaking of being a Baller, I'm so tired of these waxed bottles.
1.) it's a bitch to open
2.) it's one more step between me and the beer
3.) robble robble mayor

My main issue is scraping the wax off to reuse

 

[Remmy]

Tasty.

Meeting is almost over.

Excitebike is on. Boom.

Are you trying to start a fight with me too?

More wax, more non homer beer.

Lol maybe, will you accuse me of balling?

 

[mcbaumannerb]

If the wax is too much of a bother, then pack up all of them and send them to me. I don't mind!

 

[Hello]

ha-ha jerk face.

I'm about to go try and fill a growler from my keg and have a glass of HB blonde ale. Sorry it's not SA.

Lol maybe, will you accuse me of balling?

Go drink your drink. You know your comment was that of a supposed baller.

"I randomly opened a bottle more expensive than that." [sic]

 

[Remmy]

I hope you guys don't piss-off women in your spare time. Especially in Vegas. It won't get you anywhere there.

Personally, I took a solemn vow to piss off only one woman for the rest of my life...

lol take it however you want. I think you're far too serious. I'm far from a baller. And I was just saying, I didn't even buy that bottle

This is only my 2nd time having a Founder's beer. I like.

 

[Remmy]

I love having meeting from the cellar/basement. Beers are cool enough to drink and they are 40 feet away from the couch. I just got another meeting request that will run me through 5:30. FML. At least there's beer here. Time to get scorched.

 

[Ridire]

Pft...then what's with the Tazo in the background?

Lol you caught me

 

[mewithstewpid]

Thanks. So, gypsum to drop the pH and Calcium Chloride to increase the pH.

gypsum adds hardness, calcium chloride lowers pH, calcium carbonate raises pH.

 

[coldcrash]

Water. Traffic sucks.

Hoping they still have bottles next weekend.

Was not a fan of Hell or High Watermelon, or watermelon in general really, but I suspect this will be a different story.
