Decided to pour banesong's ESB while watching the smoker and relaxing on the back porch.

Jealous. I told myself I'd smoke a few racks of ribs today and I was too tired after coming back from the lake. Next weekend, that's my first priority. Post some pics when they're done so I can salivate.
 
Call me crazy but lately I'm looking at brewing and smoking things as more of a burden than anything. I'm considering just buying my drinks and ordering food from restaurants.

Am I losing it or just going through a phase? Is there a way to "take some time off?" or is this a path of no return?
 
My Harvester of Sorrow DIPA. Bottling my oaked cherry quad.

It hasn't been on oak that long? A week?


Few days. My RIS was in it for 4 days and the oak was powerful. This is only the second beer I've dumped in here. Next is an IPA (for a mild oak) and it's turning into my sour barrel.

You're done. I'll take your equipment, smoker, and any beers. :D

Got rained out of the park. It's either nap time or beer time...
 
That's only 2 reasons there, Billy. ;-) Also, how the hell does SD sell beer on Sundays but MN doesn't? Your state is screwed up. But your state also has Surly and Lakefront, so it's not that bad.

math is for suckers, yo. yeah, you take the good, you take the bad and there you have the facts of life.

Fresh oak or chared?
Guess at first it up front then it will fade. My quad been in for a month and took a sample last night and it was awesome. I don't know if I should let it go longer or bottle/ keg now. (it's 15 gals :D)

Charred (medium toast). ****'s powerful, though.
 
Another HB Amarillo IPA.

Buzzed. You should be, too.

GO HUSKIES! Suck it for another year!

nuke, I said almost the same thing you said about the Two Roads session. Great aroma and doesn't taste like a sessiony (made that up) beer. It's solid.

Cheers.

I need to get you some of the new beers from the newest brewery in town. No IPAs or anything like that. Lots of sours. They opened yesterday and the beer nerds were out in full force documenting every smell and sip of beer. ****ing annoying bastards.

I saw you post about that yesterday, definitely want to try them sometime.

I am buzzed. Getting ready to start in on my four pack of Gandhi.
 
Weihenstephaner Original while bottling a 3 gallon batch of what hopefully turns out to be my house bitter. Never had a Vienna lager before (mostly Grolsch and Sam Smith and then Oktoberfest stuff). It's the kind of excellence I expect from Weihenstephaner.

When you're in the Ox, you will definitely have an assortment courtesy of Remmy. Your MPG is better than mine. :D
 
To Wesley:

I hate you.






:)

Rye of the tiger now, had an Oarsman before as I clean the basement.


WooHoo!!!! You don't know how long I've been waiting for someone to hate me. I've hated quite a few people on here, but to finally be hated means a lot. :D
