I’ve been thinking about putting up an RIS because I really like a big, malty beer. My problems are twofold however. First, I need to actually make my BIAB bag. Second, my pipeline is still a bit narrow for the level of consumption being engaged in. I brewed what probably qualifies as a Blonde Ale…
So it’s been a little over twelve hours since I deactivated my Facebook account. Other than a low grade itch to check on folks’ statuses, I’m doing okay. One benefit should be more frequent posting here…so I’ve got that going for me…which is nice. It wasn’t any one thing that pushed me over the edge,…
Here’s the end result. 2012B01 A.K.A. Black Squirrel Nutter. She’s lovely, brown, and crisp/sweet with a moderate nuttiness. Stats: OG: 1.051 FG: 1.016 ABV: 4.7% Bottles remaining: 21 as of right now. Yikes! Between gifts, graft, and personal consumption, that’s half the batch in less than a week. Time to make more beer! Maybe this…
Slight correction to the label information. ABV is 4.7% instead of the advertised 5.5%. More stats and pour pikkie on the way. I promise.
It’s been a bit of a wait, but the first reviews of Black Squirrel “Nutter” have been favorable. This is the second ever batch brewed by Circle Bar Brewery, which is a fancy way of saying me and my compatriots. Special thanks to Dan, Doug, and Gavin who stopped by and helped while away the…
Ran across this on the HomeBrewTalk forums. Absolutely love this. Some guy is brewing beer with an Ovaltine base. The video is pretty cute even if the audio suffers from clipping here and there.
Holy crap. The degree of dislike I have for Windows Installer service is already kind of pegged. An object lesson in overengineering for very little gain. Well, it could work awesomely if it wasn’t a backwater in Microsoftland and if the Microsoft supported authoring framework wasn’t an “open source” initiative that is completely understaffed. Then…
EA: Do we want to use this value? Isn’t it excessive? Shouldn’t we be given a UI to change this value on a per client basis? Dev: The value isn’t excessive. Some progress was made but we still need a long timeout. EA: But if we need to change this value, we don’t have a…
If you’re going to mash up the Beatles, or Queen, you better hope it is quality. If you’re going to mash them up together, it better be phenomenal. This attempt gets pretty close to the mark. There’s really only one awkward moment in what is otherwise a pretty snappy mashup. Pulling in video makes it…
It’s that kind of week already. Logged into iChat in case Elz was lurking and was immediately chatted up by awesomecoleyxo3 who is, allegedly, a 27F. I don’t remember that MOS but the Internet says that 27F is a Vulcan Repairer. So that’s cool, I guess. Anyway awesomecoleyxo3 might need some better off-duty hobbies. Here…
