Whats your favorite drinking glass?
Of all my household options, Ive got several glasses that I choose to use on a regular basis. One for beer, one for wine and one for cordials but I must say, nothing gives me more emotions and feelings than when I drink from the plastic hydrometer tube. Thats why I consider it my favorite.
Let me explain
Whether its checking the original gravity just before pitching the yeast, checking the gravity for fermentation status, racking or bottling I would say 99 out of 100 times, I taste whats brewing from the tall thin plastic tube in which I test in. Heck, if I find that it tastes good I end up drinking the entire tube.
I find that it brings with it a mix of emotions. There are times when I go into Mad Scientist mode and get the feeling like Im creating something out of a laboratory setting. Especially when there are others in the room and Im passing it out saying Youve got to try this. There are other times I get the Redneck feeling like when watching the TV show Moonshiners while theyre in the woods testing their brew. Either way, I always get the feeling of nostalgia knowing that there probably have been thousands of people (maybe more) who have done this before and for tens or hundreds of years and Im just following along in their path.
If you can relate, you know what Im saying and Id like to hear from you. If not, then I sound crazy and Id still like to hear from you.
Do you have a favorite drinking glass? What is it and why is it your favorite? Do you drink from the hydrometer tube?
