Here's a funny joke I heard today:

When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive....

So, I took her to a gas station.....


And then the fight started....

 

[ShortSnoutBrewing]

Like I need more distractions...I'm watching of course.

 

[Desert_Sky]

[BigKahuna]

[DUCCCC]

Dang it, I've been away from the desktop here for a few, what'd I miss?

Is he heating sparge water or doing a decoction?

Just what the heck is he brewin' anyway, and do we get to watch him play PacMan during the boil?

 

[the_bird]

Alright, I'm watching on one monitor. Doesn't look like it'll let me connect to chat, though. What's brewing?

EDIT: Err, duh... Colby House Porter.

[gp125racer]

Can't connect to chat, but this is an awesome idea!

 

[Saccharomyces]

Awesome to show up for a brew session. Kona clone was fab, and thanks for sharing the Maharaja... liquid gold!!

I gotta do one of these over at my place...

 

[eschatz]

that session is awsome! good to chat with ya!

 

[DeathBrewer]

i'm pausing necrophagist...this better be good

 

[beerthirty]

We need more sessions like this.

 

[Saccharomyces]

Agreed. I'm gonna try to brewcast my Saturday brewday when I do my Christmas ale. I think I've caught the bug.

 

[DeathBrewer]

so when are you going to be in the bay area?

i'm gonna have to do this, too. maybe get some crazy multi camera setup to get all angles and get better advice and whatnot.

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

I enjoyed it LOTS!.....I even learned a few things that I didn't expect to. Mainly that I don't need to worry about building a huge assed fancy rig!!!

Thanks Soper. I am in your debt!!

 

[beerthirty]

It's not the size of your rig, It's how you use it.

 

[AnonyBrew]

Funny you ask, i have a friend moving there this week. I lived in the bay area for 18 months once, I'll be back someday to visit.


BTW, I'm not a big CA fan, but I like to visit.

I'll post some pics of my rig. It's uglier than Soper's, but not quite BierMuncher ugly.

 

[Saccharomyces]

so when are you going to be in the bay area?

I'm not sure when I'll be out there again. I work for a bay area company so I travel out there 5-6x a year.

There sure are a lot of nice brewpubs in the bay area.

 

[Saccharomyces]

I cant get into the chat, it wont connect. no firewall problem. is this an open chat?

 

[AnonyBrew]

I'm watching, but the chat isn't loading up for me either....do you have it disabled? or is the site just slow getting us up online?

 

[AnonyBrew]

Sacc,

If you read this today before you're done brewing, PM me your phone number & directions & I'll come over for a beer.

 

[beerthirty]

Nothing different then when I was watching yours. Where are the options? All I can seem to find is fullscreen, menu, volume and on/off.

 

[AnonyBrew]

Sacc must have the chat disabled. I'm on HBT's chat & watching his brewcast.
