Just got in from picking up a 125 lbs of grain and a few other things and got a free $25 gift card , win,win!
This is meh, should have rejected it because it has no date on the can or case, is it meh because it's old or just subpar, I'll never know. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1431728654.809494.jpg

Good to hear on that one. Hawgwild sent me one I'm looking forward to it.

 

[BreezyBrew]

Comparing the last two stouts I made. The British malts and 1272 win over the German malts and 007 dry ale yeast. The dry yeast really pushes it into the robust porter category. I want my British brew back!

[SandstoneCityBrew]

Water. There is about to be a lot of beer consumed tonight though.

Begin long rant:

I came home early from a super easy day at work today in a great mood, until I went down to the basement.

Flashback 2 weeks ago. There was a local brewing competition held. It was called Iron Brewer. Everyone showed up with their homebrew setup, we all draw a random ingredient, have one hour to formulate a recipe, and start brewing. I ended up with licorice root. I brewed up a Belgian Dubbel. Brew day went super smooth, hit all my numbers, wort was tasting fantastic.

Back to today. I have one of those SS Brew Tech Brew Buckets with the FTS temp control system. For those not familiar, it's basically a metal coil that sits down in the wort. Then I have a cooler full of water next to it. I either add ice, or a fish tank heater to it, depending if I need to cool or heat the wort to keep it at the desired temp. This has been working fantastic for the past couple months.

They recently came out with "extensions" for it, to make the coil sit farther down into the fermenter to get more accurate heating and cooling. I purchased those, and installed them before I added the wort I made for this competition. Well, apparently, I didn't tighten them down enough and they became loose. Today, while it was heating up, it decided to leak, and it sucked all 8 gallons of water I had in the cooler, and placed it inside the fermenter, causing the fermenter to overflow, and spill all over the table and the ground! Not the way I wanted to spend my evening.

End rant

Short version... Batch of beer is shot. Don't have enough time to re-brew for the competition judging. F*ck this week.

That sucks man.

It's called the Rancor burger. And it's every bit as delicious and messy as it looks. Big patty, cheese, thick bacon and a perfectly cooked egg on top. So frikkin good.

Very tart. Really good, but as with all other goses I've had, Westbrook it is not.
