Second gumballhead of the evening. Got to meet my new nephew tonight.

Mowed lawn. Soaking bottles to scrub labels for first time. Hope doesn't suck as bad as everyone says.

Yup, it does ... water ( bud lite )

Oo question...you aren't using twist off bottles with standard caps, right?

Nah I throw out the coors and won't buy again. The red hook bottles wiped off with just water so that was nice.

Was going to be done but apparently coors tastes way better in 100 degree water on a cooler night. Last one.

Starting to look like a room again.

Have to remind my wife once in a while...with HB RIS.

Finished cleaning bottles

Refilled a bucket with the remaining empties + soaked the 4 dirty growlers. So now a reward,

Hop Stinger, special rye-lease

Are you using 12.oz bottles? if so, i would go to 22.oz bombers. lot less cleaning,
and you get 24+ per 5 gallons. a little easier to handle ... just my $.02

 

[Psylocide]

If this cream doesn't kick tonight, it will tomorrow. Guess a week and a half was a good run, need more than 2 beers on tap.

Got a lot done. Ready to package harvest IPA which I'm super pumped for and had beers. A good night. Cheers dudes. Be safe.

Tank 7. It's dark, no pic. Probably going to sell my motorcycle to one of my tenants. Need to figure out my replacement bike before that happens. I like my Honda Shadow, but I'm through with my starter bike, it's time for something I can really love. Weirdly I am not sold on Harleys and am tempted to go for a larger Honda. Maybe even another Shadow.

Feel free to pick my brain on bikes, I do know a couple things about HDs if you find yourself leaning that way.
Plenty of variety out there these days

More stout

It's fresh. Benefit of have 60,000+ beer geeks descending on your home town once a year is the breweries bring the good stuff. Downside is 60,000+ beer geeks.

#Truth.

72% went there to smoke.

I wish. At least beer lines would be shorter.

That's fine with us. I'm sure they smoke back home, we just get to tax it here.

Until we give it back in a refund.

Drinking water. Sobering up from the all the tasters I drank. No pics, probably just my imagination

Solid beer. I see a lot of these in my future.

SNPA. Church went well. Crazy guy didn't go off the deep end, and isn't supposed to be leading right now anyway.

There's a 1 day sample of the Rye/Mosaic Hoppy Saison With No Name In The Freezer.

 

[Clankenbrew]

Fruit flies!!!

Second pour of galaxy white ipa. Really impressed how the Brett helps keep hops from fading. Curious on the bottle date though, Oct 2014?

 

[PatrickGoss]

I spared you all pics of my bmc extravaganza.... Well, and the cell service is so bad that I couldn't see your pics either. It's been a fun night. Time for pizza delivery and bed.

Good point. I assume they are selling out of all their bottles so no point stopping by mid-day? View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1443061807.758646.jpg

Heading to the hot tub with this. LtD helluva Caucasian stout.

I was drinking at Hops & Pie. Got there at 5:30 and it was a 30 minute wait.

There was a bit of a line at CS. It wouldn't surprise me if they sold out even though the bottle limits were high.

Gigantic Hoppy Saison.


Glad it's not too bitter. It just has mosaic nose and flavor like whoa.

Named after the Pixies song because I'm not naming beers after body parts any more. Or am I?

 

[BigPerm]

HB "Black" wit. Only bottle in existence since I didn't like the beer coming out of primary and decided to sour it.

Oo question...you aren't using twist off bottles with standard caps, right?

Are you using something in your soaking water? I use Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda (powder). It comes in a yellow box in the laundry detergent aisle. I add about 1/3 to 1/2 cup to a 5 gallon bucket of hot water. It helps clean the bottles and breaks down the glue on the labels. There's a few beer companies that use labels/glue that are particularly tough to remove, but most slip right off.

Drinking Dr. Pepper 10 and kombucha with squirt-in flavors tonight. Time to get a little sleep...unlike last night. *yawn*

Black Butte.

Anybody else watching Public Morals? Damn fine gangland drama.

Water. Been studying for the BJCP written exam all night. <1 month, figure it's time to get to work.

 

[Zekk]

Bottled up my pumpkin ale, came out a little higher than I wanted, I'm attributing it to pitching 2nd generation 05 that was still cold into warm wort. Whatever, still smells good.

Having milk before bed.

You mean written, as in qualifying for National or better, correct?

I highly recommend that you practice physically writing out your answers to sample questions, and doing so with a stopwatch/timer. Try to get it so you can write out a legible and complete answer that hits all the points in 10 minutes, although 8 minutes is much better from a time management perspective. Do this over and over again until you can answer all the sample questions at a master level (that means, you cover all the points in the question, supply additional details, etc.) within that time limit.

Went to BJs restaurant and had Hopstorm with 2 Piranhas. Hopstorm was off, cloudy, had that "Home Brew" flavor, fermentation too high?? Anyway, pointed out to manager who later agreed, surly I wasn't the first..

 

[BrewinHooligan]

This is as awful as it sounds. Mrs Hooligan has been fired from beer buying.

I've had a grand total of two BJ's beers and they were both terrible.

They changed to a brewery in Temple. After that, Hopstorm was awesome! Dryer with tangerines, lots of hoppy favor. WTF with this last visit??...kind of like my DIPAs! HA!
