We were tenters until my wife was pregnant with #3. I now say we don't camp, we RV. It's not camping if there is a microwave, refrigerator and multiple TV's.
That thing is still camping but you don't wake up with a soggy ass like in a tent.
Real beer drinkers can make in the real world with out a glass lol
He is jealous. I'm giving the beer more attention than him at the moment lol
Have gone this. 9 months old right now
Please, son. I'm wicked awesome yo. I improvise like a marther floccer.
i need details. i drive through there every year on the way to Yellowstone, look at the river and say, 'i bet there are a bunch of good fish in that river'. I'll PM you some questions if you don't mind.That's the food cooler. The beer cooler goes in the truck!
Heading to Boysen reservoir. Actually camping in the state park below the dam. Good fishing on the wind river. View attachment 206687
Older photo, but that can be an average fish up there depending on the bite.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Bitter American.
Yes, yes you are a Bitter American.
Coffee. Lots of coffee.
Coffee.
I had a pretty good krausen in my starter this morning. Is that normal (I am usually a dry yeast guy)?

Also, for a relatively big stout, would you bother decanting or just toss the whole thing in there?
I'd think it wasn't normal if I didn't have one haha. Just about all of mine do. Mine ferment at about 70 ambient.
Drinking a protein shake.
You can add it all but I decant because I don't temp control my starters and I don't want to risk off flavors from the liquid.
That was my thinking. This thing was sitting out in ambient temp on a stir plate. 2L of oxidized, warm fermented beer would certainly impact a smaller, lighter beer...not sure about in this imperial stout. I will probably decant. I am pretty geeked about this particular beer but doing so many new things here, I am a little nervous that when I crack a tester around Thanksgiving I'm going to be a bit disappointed. My 2013 Christmas beer was my best brew to date. The people I gave it to as Christmas presents are already asking about if I'm making a 2014 Christmas beer.
