Sweden is a pretty sweet place to be right now for beer, outside of the US and maybe Belgium from time to time...

Good deal. Ya, bombers are ridiculous sans recession buster Lagunitas beers... I hate how some bombers cost more per oz than 4ers or 6ers. Maths does not compute.

That's pretty epic

Apparently it's the 2nd largest collection in the world at like 8500 unique bottles?

How did you get your hands on a Westy? Mirin hard

My best bro gave it to me, he got two from his parents and didn't love the first one, and he knew I was into neat beers so we both shared it.

That was the shyt that came to the states legally for the first and only time. It wasn't that good.

Ya, that's like $425 in deposits here.

The 5 or 6 year aged one you sent me was exquisite

[icetrauma]

Cyde, did you pop open that Westy I sent ya and if so, how was it?

[thefleshlight]

The 5 or 6 year aged one you sent me was exquisite

Ya, 09 batch I think.

[MrMakAttack]

Idk what you guys were tasting; this shyt overrated as always and still tastes exactly the same to me... Aka overpriced to fark.

GD man, you are a hard sell!

Congrats brother.

Hopslam backlog... Kinda just meh for me...

I wouldn't say "meh"...but I also wouldn't say that it lived up to all the hype it has received. But I do think it is pretty tasty for the price. I have had some brews that are much worse and cost 2x as much.

Another great Pizza Port IPA



Edit: Well maybe not great, but very very drinkable

Heard about Pizza Port Brewing for the first time the other day on some show on TV....Brew Dogs maybe? Need to check out some of the beers...but don't think I have seen them around here.

That is INSANE. Mad jealous. I would never leave the place and would keep an extra large bottle of Ibuprofen on the shelf



In other news...did you see the Newcastle pseudo Superbowl commercial? Good stuff. Their beer is decent at best, but their commercials are top notch in my opinion.

You are a motherfukker

[cyde]

Cyde, did you pop open that Westy I sent ya and if so, how was it?

It held up very well and no oxidation. Like most quads, it took on plum wine and brandy flavors over time. Thanks for sharing, bro, it was a real treat. Whenever my wife and I get around to taking a Euro trip, I'm definitely going to try some fresh Westy 12.

For the record,I bubble wrapped the hell out of everything. Janky can verify

[janky]

USPS is gettin wreckless with the boxes. Big ol gash in the side and stickered up with "received damaged" stickers.

aint even mad though. beyond stoked about trying the rest of those

[swingracex]

Debating on trading a chez monus for king Henry. Chez is the best sour I've had and its value is still going up. Not sure what do

how many chez left?

Idk what you guys were tasting; this shyt overrated as always and still tastes exactly the same to me... Aka overpriced to fark.

At least you have 23 more bottles for it to grow on you.

trolololololol

I wish I couldn't gotten my hands on some Chez.

i wish i couldve gotten my hands on some Chez.

Chez was a one time thing as far as I know...I'd be so excited if they were making it again. Where did you hear that?

When I was down filling my growlers last weekend I was talking to one of the guys there for awhile. He said they for sure plan on more Chez. He wouldn't tell me when, but he sounded pretty confident it would be back. I sure hope it's true.

theres hope for me yet...

Got dat dere job I applied for a while back.

Had a hundred yard dash, hopslam and finished off with a kalamazoo to celebrate.

gratz

Grats. I got mines fingers crossed for one in Cleveland area; no bcbs but lots cooler shyt, including Deschutes, Fat Heads and Revolution. Good company, epic pay, epic benefits/stocks/401k (lulz since I don't plan to live past 50), etc.

deschutes is cooler than bcbs? hmmmm...also will me your 401k

Yo homebrewers, what's the most likely reason for beer to not start fermentation? Extreme temp? Chitty yeast?

[thefleshlight]

Yo homebrewers, what's the most likely reason for beer to not start fermentation? Extreme temp? Chitty yeast?

Either A. no sugars, 2. dead yeast, D. temp too cold

Did you make a starter? Smackpack? Dry yeast? Liquid? Are you sure it's even beer?

These.
If you didn't properly steep your grains or mash or use an extract or SOMETHING to get wort, then the yeast has nothing to ferment.
If the temperature was way outisde the window for that particular strain, it'll cook/freeze it to death before it has a chance to ferment.
Or if it's a pH issue...

those would be my guesses; how do you know it's not fermenting though? Have you taken several hydrometer readings?

[MrMakAttack]

Am I the only one who found this commercial amusing?????? Or old news perhaps????

Followed directions word for word, but it was like 60 F when i added dry yeast to the wort and now it's been 4 days with no bubbles in the airlock and no krausen
Is it likely i'll run into more complications if i add more yeast tomorrow, given it's been a few days already?

[thefleshlight]

Dry yeast to wort... that's likely the issue. You should have made a starter first to make sure the yeast was up and going before pitching.

A big shout to Waff, thanks bro
