HNNNNNGGGG! I'm addicted. I will never bottle again (probably will, but... you know).

I'll display it above the bar at the tasting room of my brewery

Bronze that bad boy and keep it liquid forever! lol that's really a good idea. I have a few bottles of my first batch I planned on hanging onto, just as proof that I did, once upon a time, make something that tasted like ass and gasoline.
 
Water.

Was going to bug out early today but my business partner scheduled a meeting with new clients for 4:30pm....why?!?!?

Don't trip. I have two meetings left on the day from 3-4. One has to do with mandates from the Fed. It's not that serious. :D


Hardest part of today is deciding what beer to take to the tub.

I want to kill my first batch with fire.

Anyone want a watery extract Irish Stout? I went for that green apple and caramelized liquid extract flavor (nailed it by the way).

Ingredients were at least 6 years old, bought new yeast... fermented at about 70°, didn't use enough DME for the recipe, boiled and added it 4 days after fermentation kicked off.

Yeah... pre-HBT days were dark indeed.
 
Hmm... think I just made the mechanical engineer cry, at least his eyes welled up before he walked away from my verbal lashing for not being able to do math to figure out a dimension. How unlike me, I blame @Remmy for getting me fired up.

No more drinks until I can get beer.
 
How does vienna go with mosaic? sweet? dry?

Love Mosaic. I've brewed 4-5 beers with it and it always imparts great aroma and flavor to my beers. For this, specific beer, I feel like it doesn't have enough body. It's only 5.5% ABV. But I like my IPAs with some body. And I mashed at 154F. This is my first time doing an all-Vienna beer. Maris Otter and 2-row (both US and UK) stand up to the hops. Vienna seems to not hold-up as well against the hops.

I sound like @WesleyS with the talking. So, let me pour another ****ing beer. Cheers, mother****ers.
 
If you schedule it for 4:30pm on Friday, should you then supply beer?

Sounds entirely reasonable. I had back to backs from 9am to 2pm, I snuck some toast in during a quick break, flocking hungry.

P.s. is it me or is the star performance in the Sopranos = Steven Van Zandt?

That's actually what mine is, extract Irish stout. I have no idea what it tastes like though.

I cooled it by sticking in the snow in my front yard and stirring it with a wooden spoon. I had just moved in, sure my neighbors were thrilled to see that, haha

The wheat I just did was (minus 60/30 bittering and "flavor" additions) only dry hopped with Citra/Mosaic/Simcoe.

I fooking love Mosaic... this stuff tastes like straight up fruit juice beer, which, incidentally, was what I was going for. Mashed at 152°, about 55/45 Wheat/2-row.

How many IBUs in the IPA? My "pale" is sitting at around 50 @ 6.7%.

I think that 30 min addition was a waste and will only bitter my pales @ 60 min and dry hop for flavor/aroma. It's amazing.

Oh, and back on the water.
 
Checking out early; programs all shut down, only internet explorer with HBT and Outlook are now open. Popped open a HB wheat and into the mug it goes. :D

And so @coldcrash doesn't clip me.

Storming the court is for programs that never win anything. Maryland should know better as it has come out on top in the big dance.
 
Why do I continue to shop here? Every IPA is 3 months old! They just started stocking this beer and it is from October!!! WTF!

Oooh.... gotta check them dates bro.

I grabbed a 4-pack of Tall Grass Ethos off the shelf the other day and there was about a quarter inch of dust on top.

Nope.

That's ok though, Ethos kind of sucks. Not sure why I entertained the thought... guess I was thinking of @finsfan when I was there.
