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.

Thanks. This is my first starter. I thought maybe there would be no krausen because of the low OG of the starter. I have built this yeast up from dregs and I never had krausen with the 100ML - 200ML "starters" I used to build it up to the point where I felt comfortable making a real starter. Last night, I put 2L of wort on the stir plate and today I've got krausen. Also, my beaker markings are WAY off. I measured out 2L of water to boil, using a measuring cup, and I only ended up with wort to about the 1.6L mark on my beaker.

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.

If you wouldn't do it in a light beer, don't do it in a dark beer :fro:

Not going to comment on the camper/tent convo...
We have three kids and tent camp. Ok, I did comment.

Drinking coffee. Horrible night's sleep.

I have never decanted a started, never temperature control my starters, and have never had any issues. I always use liquid yeast too. I wouldnt decant but that is just my personal preference.

My god am i hungover. We went to the bars last night because a buddy is moving today. I had way too many shots. Chugging water like its my job.

 

[Remmy]

More Coff. Golf day.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Coffee. Why did I hang out with SWMBO'S brother until after 2 last night/this morning? 4 hours of sleep just isn't enough. Hurting...

I still would with the 3 kids but with the RV, we go a lot more frequently than I think we would with the tent. It is not unusual for us to go 10+ times in a season. We're getting a late start this year.

Now we go in this:

I would say that I feel for you, but I would be lying. Instead I will offer these words of wisdom: bwahaha! Sucks to be you!

Water while working.
I think I cracked a rib while squeezing through an opening I had no business trying to get through. Stupid job. Don't mind me, I'll just be over here in the corner crying and bleeding internally.

Found this yesterday @ Food Lion. Not bad, 7.2%

My fiancé got elbowed playing a pickup basketball game. She had to go in and it took 2 weeks to heal. They gave her a support band which she said helped. I was surprised at how serious it ended up being... Couldn't run or lift anything over 5 lbs for that amount of time.

Drinking water.

is their much they do for a broken rib? do they just wrap it and say "yup its broke... sleep in a recliner for a couple weeks"

but seriously feel better bud- hope it heals quick.

Yeah I find I need to add a extra 4-500ML to make up for evaporation. 2L boils down quick

I would love to travel in an rv, but there's nothing like listening to it rain while you're sleeping in a tent. My kids are all young though (6, 3 and 10 months).

You're about 4 years behind me. I've got them at 10 years, 8 years and 6 years.

I separated my ribs about 8+ years ago. They had me on oxytocin. I was a zombie and not a fan. More coffee while waiting for the little man to get out of a tooth extraction. Lucky guy got put under.

Friday, heck yah!

Water after copious coffee.

Prepped grains and water last night... Brew time when I get home today.

The lil man trying to be like daddy?

Poor kid. At least he was sedated for it. Now you will learn if he is the type to get stoned off the sedation. Be sure and record blackmail if he turns out to be one of them.

On to water until this evening when I can drink a beer.

Sounds brutal.

Yeah, there probably isn't much that can be done. Kinda like when I broke my collarbone about 13 years ago. They just gave me a sling for my arm and pain medicine and told me not to use my arm for two months.
I doubt that I actually cracked a rib, but there's definitely something bothering me in my ribcage area after hat I did. Oh well, just working through it and now on to a nice carbonated and caffeinated beverage.

Oxytocin or OxyContin? OxyContin makes more sense....unless of course you were also in labor and needed your uterus to contract!

Billy.....is there something you need to tell us?

OxyContin. Why do they call these "smart phones"?

Afternoon coffee with an Advil chaser.
My knee is killing me from a barely run / c25k day three on *Tuesday.*. I guess running is not for me . I could barely sleep last night it hurt so bad.
I'm pretty pissed because I was actually enjoying it.
