What are you drinking now?

[finsfan]

I've been lurking... Stepped away from the brewery. Sometimes a partnership sounds better in theory than it is in reality. I wish them success though if they ever manage to open. I know quite a few people and will find a better opportunity elsewhere. In the meantime I am going to brew a bunch of experiments I have been planning. Things are gonna get a little weird, just how Billy likes it.

Sorry to hear that man. Sounds like things will be for the better this way though. Keep us updated on those wacky brewing experiments of yours!

 

[finsfan]

I lol'd.

I think @finsfan missed it.


Edit: apparently a few others missed it?

But Gose is extremely thin.

I caught it, I aint think boy! Just trying to figure out why the beer would be thick haha

 

[Ridire]

Did you see that flying overhead? It was Psylocide's semen joke going over the head's of most people here.

 

[Psylocide]

Well, obviously I stand corrected and have not had a good example of the style.

I do live in a craft beer wasteland here, of course, I've had them all at craft beer festivals, so it could have been that I was slightly inebriated or there was something else going on.

Maybe a muddling of styles, IIPA or stout coating my mouth and didn't cleanse. Either way, the only style I dumped other than Wasatch's Black O'lantern. Ugh.

Yeah, I got the joke.

BUT SERIOUSLY THOUGH. :cross:

Or maybe somebody slipped you a "tainted" beer, eh Stifler?

 

[nukebrewer]

hey @nukebrewer - when do you find out what flights you're judging? *nudge, nudge, wink, wink*

Haha, I'll find out tomorrow morning about an hour after the planned start time.

I'm hoping I get to judge a style that's hard to mess up. It always sucks when you get a flight full of awful beer.

Speaking of gose, drew a sample of mine because I'm planning to bottle it this weekend. Westbrook ain't got nothin on me! View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1423255752.247961.jpg

 

[Hello]

I'm getting there. Though I do not drink like i did in college but if i over do it, all day headache but the hair of the dog works

Last Saturday it didn't. I drank so much that hair of the dog felt like I was going to puke. Today it's just a headache and sleepiness. I just drank too much in a short time span. Carry that out over a full night and I would have been golden.

Free day today! Hitting the hard Mt Dew to start

Yay! Good to see you around. You leave us far too often.

Guess I need to try the Westbrook version. Sounds like the top example

Gimme your address again. I want to send porn to your house.


Water.

Tomorrow morning, eh? What happens tonight? The website lists the judging dates as both tonight and tomorrow morning.

Man, that must be tough but best get out while you can if its not right.

Truth. Nothing worse than a full flight of bitters where the highest score is in the mid-20s. It's about flocc this isht o'clock. Have to go drop off dry hops to one of my Iron Brewer teammates and then it's finally beer:30.

 

[nukebrewer]

Tonight is the first flight, for which I will not be present. I will be there for the two flights that are being judged tomorrow.

I judged that flight... at NHC first round last year.

Getting the weekend started right. I will be referring to tonight's drinking as my calibration for tomorrow's judging.

Wasn't the easiest decision ever but better now than after leaving a safe, steady, decent paying job for something uncertain.

 

[Remmy]

So, apparently we get a Crooked Stave in CT. I've had both of these a few times before. Good to know the bottles are nice and dusty at the beer store in my small-ass town.

[Billy-Klubb]

Tell me about it! Ever try making 31lbs of dark candi sugar for a 5bbl batch of Dubbel? Good times as long as you aren't on clean up...

I want to shadow you for a week.

Yo @remmy what does "hello'ing" one self entail?

Man, my damn head hurts. I really should take it easy.

you can take it easy when you're Nizzled.



too soon?

Homebrew from @PatrickGoss ... I think this was the one where a brewery gave everyone wort to brew something. We voted coffee brown and your partners overruled you? Can't remember what style you ended up doing but it tastes like a pale. Hop profile is pretty good, just a bit too far on the malty side for me. <<long sniff>> <<lip smack>>

Pretty beer though - thanks! Did you add this in Untappd by chance?

 

[WesleyS]

What was your process and recipe?

5.75 gallon batch
OG: 1.038
FG: 1.004
IBU: 5
ABV: 4.5%
5 lbs Pilsen
3 lbs Wheat
Mashed at 148F
Boiled an hour
.10 oz Magnum @ 60 minutes
1 oz coarse ground pink Himalayan sea salt and 1 oz toasted coriander freshly ground @ 10 minutes
1 vial of WL lactobacillus delbruecki pitched and allowed to ferment alone for a few days until it starts to sour. Then pitched a packet of rehydrated US05.
It has been 5 months in the fermenter. Not quite as sour as I'd like, but still pretty good. Gose isn't supposed to be overly sour anyways. If I did it again, I'd probably try the sour mash method.

No beechwood aging? Fail #easyway

 

[TheCADJockey]

Leaving early. Funk this. Beer soon.

I carved my fermenter out of beechwood. #hardwayisthebestway

 

[Hello]

Leaving early. Funk this. Beer soon.

YES! Stick it to the man!

I wish someone would jump in on a string of emails and stop the nonsense. Clearly there is a disconnect and I can't say things are good when I'm being told there's no point in fixing something. Sheesh! Maybe I'm the one not understanding crap today. That is likely to be the case actually.


Water...soon beer.

 

[Psylocide]

I haven't had good experiences with beechwood.

Of course, I'm always wearing a speed-o, so that might have something to do with me getting arrested every time I have it.

I've been seeing Crooked Stave in my shops for about the last month or so.

$8.99 here. Not too bad. Buddy in NYC says over $10 per bottle there.
