The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

I'll go with 96 if it isn't already taken. Thanks for the chance!

 

That's been my impression (haven't had it personally), but the production process is pretty cool and definitely unique.

 

Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black

 

The same can be said for you.

 

Y'all be double dippin'

I don't think you said that at NG, in fact it was more along the lines of "SWTFYW is the best group of guys, and gal."

 

And here he was trying to get out of retaliation for giving @mklisz my name for a LIF ninja redirect. True colors indeed!

 

Everyone knows you can't trust a mod... LYMI Justin

*Edit I will say that whoever I'm drinking with at the time becomes my temporary new best friend.

 

Hmmm. Suddenly I lost your address

I'll take 51 if it is gone make it 15. Cheers and thanks for the chance

 

this likely will be against the code

 

Lets see.. no reason to be paranoid, if you sanitation is up to par.

However, wouldn't hurt to have a second set of cold side plastics. Meaning.. thief, tubing, siphon, filters, yadda yadda. If you are inclined, even a carboy if it's plastic.

I brew sours and keep my stuff separate, just bought new for the clean beers. Kegs I don't both with, but I do keep one tap line sour only as I'm too lazy to change/clean the line that often.

Brett works slow, so a week each is too fast, IMO. Depending on recipe, FG and brett will get down to 1.006 and below, and at that point, you want to check it until there is no gravity drop, and it's consistent for 2-3 days.

Fuck a secondary unless you are adding messy stuff. Hops? Add to the primary unless you want to save/reuse the cake and slurry for another batch, or bank it. Otherwise, toss 'em in!

Brewing with Brett is a learn as you go, and learn with each strain. Not all are equal, and not all will get funky. They tend to like warmer temps, so I'd start at the low end of fermentation temp range for the strain, and allow it to free rise to the middle temp, and hold for atleast a week, or until it appears the bulk of fermentation is done. Allow to free rise to whatever temp it will get too, or even warm it slightly to help finish and get the brett to do it's work.

Once gravity is stable, package it. Brett will evolve differently under pressure as well, so it will change as it goes.

 

Ugh, tell me about it! Don't worry...no sours/lambics. Maybe I can trade an adjunct stout for a growler?

 

Your profile says you don't like hops; I assure you the hop content of the anniversary ale is negligible.

 

It's unfortunately worth it... Thought FBD was pretty damn good

 

66 Thanks!

 

So my target is playing coy, like the dog he is!

Final tally of stats I'll post before the actual fun starts:

22 BA wants hit assuming I can get the two beers locally from @Mipper and @JNForsyth and the one beer I'm waiting for from the NE.
17 stickers which was a wish list want
1 wish list brewery hit
Multiple local growlers which was a wish list want
4 wish list beers hit

12 day box is packed up and will begin its journey tomorrow. Mild weather this weekend so I'm not concerned. One beer that doesn't fit a styro shipper will be sent later. I actually feel a little bad that multiple days you'll only be required to drink 12.68 ounces.

There is one more box of extras that'll go out tomorrow or Monday. It's currently got 230.5 ounces but there will be more added along with swag.

Enjoy, cowboy!

Wrong thread, fuck it, he posts in here too

 

Impact in Boston... @UcDru killed the AA round for sure.

First the dark stuff:

• KBS - Permawant
• Prairie Apple Brandy Noir - Want
• Jackie O's Dark Apparition - Jackie O's was my surprise brewery at EBF and I've liked everything I've had since. Although Rum Barrel Oil of Aphrodite came out a lot worse than it went in
• Clown Shoes Ohio Unidragon - We've officially entered the Locals Matrix. Brewed in Mass but sold only in Ohio.
• Ken Schmidt Chocolate Mint Stout - Not sure why a picture of @Dave_Treat is on the bottle.
• Moody Tongue Churro Chocolate Porter - Sounds interesting too. Never heard of the brewery.

Next the hoppy stuff:

• FFF Apocalypse Cow - One of the few hoppy breweries that can compete with my locals
• Trinity Super Juice Solution Sour IPA - No idea what a sour IPA is...
• Trinity Red Swingline - But I'll have two chances to find out
• Millersburg French Ridge IPA - Another true local

And lastly the other stuff:

• Jackie O's Wood Ya Honey (see above)
• 2013 Rivertown Ojos Negros - Looks amazing
• #DATGLASS!!!!

Drew, you're the man. Super excited about every one of these beers. Thanks!

 

Sounds like a lucky sombitch......
