What are you drinking now?

[1977Brewer]

Nah I see it now. There's a beer lover 182 from way back when. I searched his name on reddit and I think the numbers are off. So I'm both the idiot and the *******. ;-) sorry

You're neither of those. You missed a joke, no biggie.

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

Oldest boys last day of grade school. Damn I feel old. My whole body realizes this and decides it wants to hurt today.

 

[TheCADJockey]

Coffee, ice cold water and finally getting some rain. Should be a pretty chill day.

 

[Psylocide]

Yeah... going to be warm here on the plains.

Full Throttle Blue Agave and window open for as long as I can stand.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Coffee. I think I need an iv of it right now.

 

[ChefRex]

As much coffee as possible. All three 'babies' were up through the night and I'm flying solo with momma in the hospital for gall bladder removal.
Cheers

Good luck on both accounts.

Coffee.

 

[1977Brewer]

Coffee. @Psylocide I think it's going to be hotter in SD than in TX today.

 

[CliffMongoloid]

i dont like tuesdays- on the coffee

@remmy sorry about your wife's grandma, prayers for a full recovery

 

[Hello]

Yikes. I hope it goes very well.

Got a dog walk in literally just before the rain hit. I had been inside for about 1 minute before it came piling down.

Water and a sip of my columbus pale ale. Not too shabby, but then again I didn't brew it. Kegged and should be ready for the weekend. I also have to rack my Rye Promise IPA ... golden promise, rye, and simcoe hops all the way. Yum.

Last minute packing and organizing before heading to the airport around lunch time. Coff.

 

[bigmike99]

Thanks....onto the green frothy top of the lake looking shake. There will be beer later or someone's getting smashed.

 

[DrunkleJon]

Thats it, I have decided. I am over today. Completely. In fact, I think I am over this entire week. Can we just call a Mulligan on this whole week and start the weekend now?

 

[BrewinHooligan]

On the coffee. Spent the last three days working my ass off moving and finally got everything moved yesterday. Have to work 4 10's to make up for the day off yesterday and am wiped out. Still have to re-assemble a bunk bed tonight, but may beers will be consumed tonight as I fully intend to get fookie wastee

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

So I'll be in Busch Gardens at the end of the month...totally didn't even know I would be there for THIS!

Mostly commercial imports that are the same as Epcot, but still sounds pretty nice. The food looks really good...nutella crepe? Yep, gonna be uber fat this year.

Win! Love it when that happens.

Drinking water before a Skype interview.

Putting my red rye on the gas today. Can't wait.

 

[wobrien]

thanks a lot! Its un blended so you get the full sour assult. I might start blended it with non sour and subside it a little bit lol

I think blending in a low acidity, or clean beer is a good idea. It was great for the first couple sips, but it was a little much after a while. Going to the dentist today to see if I can get an enamel transplant, haha.

 

[Psylocide]

Question for all you freaks out there, but how terrible does a sour beer smell immediately after fermentation?

I mean, is it less or more terrible than after it has been aged and cooled and served?

I caught some wild stuff in my basement and it took the wort down from 1.053 to 1.004 in ~8 days. I really don't have any interest in pursuing sour brewing, but just wanted to play around.

It smells god-awful, singes the nose something fierce.

 

[TobyG]

Depends on what you caught. Are we talking strong vinegar?

Last cuppa coff.

Yeah, was thinking acetobacter, myself. Maybe too much time out in the open.

Might have to try a more controlled experiment. I don't think I can bring myself to taste it.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Is it that nasty parmesan cheese or vomitlike?

Drinking an energy drink.

 

[TobyG]

Yeah, you can't really save acetobacter infections at that point. The best you could do would be to blend it with something else if the acetic acid would help a different sour.

 

[Psylocide]

Yeah, all of that and vinegar.

Like I said, I don't even like sours, was just messing around to see if I could catch some yeast in my basement. I guess next time I'll leave it open for a day or so, then cap and see if anything happens.

Looks like stout weather to me.

Man bunch of night owls and early birds in here this fine morning. No one can accuse us of being non functioning alchies at least.

Water and iced coffee. Summer is here it's too damn hot outside to drink normal coffee

I just got up if that makes you feel better. It's almost 11 here.

Share some with the neighbor that gave you the Vanilla Porter?

 

[Remmy]

Shared a sour I made with all OEC dregs with Ben at OEC.

Plus I get a lot more out of it. Got a few other sours I might do that if the acid is really high. I enjoy it. Its does not get too much for me but I know it might other people. Guess I need more beer to blend lol.

Maybe I'll dump this in a bottle, top it off with my most recent from the keg, and tell him how awesome it is to return the favor.

hurry up Fedex!! I wouldn't be surprised if the delivery guy is waiting to hurt his back at the end of the day so he can finish his deliveries.

You are a glorious b@stard that is going to NHC, aren't you. .... work made me cancel my plans and return my ticket this year.

Yikes. I hope it goes very well.

That was me on my run this morning - it started raining shortly after I got into the house.

@Remmy, hope the family is doing okay.

Water. Waiting to hear the lab results on the MIL; she is at the hospital since yesterday with a suspected stroke. WTH is going on in this thread over this last bit?
