What are you drinking now?

[Psylocide]

Bad news for you then. The king quad is a dumper. Something happened in the past few months and its become infected. I dumped the last case of it all last week.

Thought you liked 'em infected?

Full Thrattle, come on 5:00.

Looks like it'll be a beautiful day for hunting tomorrow. Errrrr....

That would be a good way to get shot in the face. Just pheasant again.

But yeah, send me some fins sours so I can be a hipster too.

Brother, we all know you live in a conflict free corn field. Get to pickin'.

Coffee. Office thanksgiving lunch today. 170 employees, plus guests. I'm feeding 250 people. Don't wanna.

WHAT ABOUT THE GLUTEN!!!! You should really switch to gluten free soy based pickled brussel sprouts for your barrel sour project. But only if the barrel has been used for certified free trade cold brew coffee previously, or you aren't doing it right.

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

Also, don't forget to serve it in mason jars with paper straws, served on a tray of reclaimed barn wood

 

[blizzard]

Came in a trade from my boy Rich in CA. Only one I had or I'd send you one. Happy birthday CAD!

On topic: cup o' Joe and our buyers want us to make up the whole difference cause by the crappy appraisal. Wish I could have a beer right now.

Depending on what the market is like by you, I'd give the buyers the finger. If they really want to buy it, they'll work with you. If not, someone else will buy it and will get it appraised higher. Appraisers are pretty much the worst.

You can also ask the buyer to switch lenders. That's the only way they can get a new appraisal. The appraisal appeals process is pretty worthless IMO.

Brewing up a Mosaic IPA.

Nice. Mosaic is probably the best hop of all time... of all time.

Lol. It fought hard, lost hard.

Brett B. Red. Dry hopping was the right decision.

 

[TheCADJockey]

Lol. It fought hard, lost hard.

It just doesn't give up. I swear. Every time I brew:

Nug: Im ready to go in Coach, just give me a chance!
Me: No way Nugget, you ruined my last beer.
Nug: Its all psychological, you just got to stay in a positive frame of mind.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Yes, Nugget is awful. I made a 100% Nugget beer once. That was a....mistake. I don't mind the combo of Nugget and Galena, but it's not for everyone.

 

[mhurst111]

I only have 1. In your opinion should I drink it or age it?

Drink that one, Pm me and we can set up a trade for more if you want. BBB flows like water around here.

NOOOO! Don't say that. Its been staring at me since forever ago. It was going to be my first beer at the new office.

I have one in the cellar as well. @finsfan - can I let it ride or will bottle bombs ensue?

OT - office coffee. Future me is drinking a beer.

Thanks for the encouragement. We're gonna make 'em sweat and call their bluff. We have our new house already so it's only money if we have to make dual payments for a bit. They have nowhere to go. Only two comparable houses for sale near us and ours is by far the nicest of the 3.

I would dump it. No point in letting it ride as I can only imagine it getting worse. Not sure what happened but they all had a huge amount of sediment in the bottle that starts mingling aggressively when you open it which leads to gushing. Taste is terrible.

Water before more coffee. Not a lot of motivation today but might put together a couple recipes to brew next weekend.

Hey, speaking of beer and being off topic... I managed to achieve the most pillowy mouthfeel I've ever done with that Buffalo Sweat clone. I don't know if it's the water additions or the oats or both, but I take a 'normal' sized drink and it feels like too much, before giving way to a crisp finish (no doubt due to the low abv).

Is this your experience with this brew or did I finally nail down my water profile? Having never brewed it, I don't really have a comparison.

Good call. You're in a good position, all things considered.

Flaked oat does wonders for mouthfeel. not sure what sort of water profile you are working with, but it may be a one-two punch, but oats for sure would be a large factor in that.

I'll stick in the fridge tonight and attempt drinking this weekend, but will plan on dumping...bummer.

My mother actually has a gluten intolerance (not the fake kind, like cant breathe if she eats too much of it) and I've considered making a gluten free beer for her to try, but I enjoy my integrity too much to do such a thing.

Exactly what duffman said. Oats help but water profile also encourages better mouthfeel. I havent been satisfied with how mine how turned out in that aspect, just knowing how the real buff sweat tastes, and I think I will use a yeast with less attenuation next time I brew it. did you use 1098?

Yeah I wasn't too excited about having to dump them all. I dont remember ever having that much sediment in the bottle but if that was the case, I imagine that too much yeast autolysis caused it.

Yeah, I figured as much... But it's different than Tallgrass's version. I would describe it as fluffy almost.

Ca 52
Mg 4.9
Na 11
SO4 34
Cl 85
Bicarbonate 23

Targeted 5.3 mash pH

S04... So basically, yes. Finished right at 1.019

Using the new formula, I think it finished at 13%... Old formula says 5.3% though.

Maybe you should let them know that it may be a good thing that it just came up low. That should affect their personal property taxes.

Sucks. I'll take some of that carbonation for mine. Just opened up a 6 pack of quad last weekend and reyeasted in the bottles with some 1118 as a last ditch effort. It's like drinking some kind of sweet 11% tea beverage now without any carb...

Damn. Looks better than my sad room temp pizza...

Hope it's not a rumble seat. Those suck. I was the jumper for my brother when I started... man we had a blast. Not to mention we would complete our route and be home by noon.
