What are you drinking now?

[WesleyS]

If you don't break them, you're probably not using them.

Or you're just careful with glass.
Yes, I also still have my original hydrometer. Seven years and no breaks.

 

[Ostomo517]

Heavy Seas Winter Storm Imperial ESB. Man I love the $1 shelf at the bottle shop!

 

[1fast636]

Might want to knock on wood Wes everytime I say something like that it happens next time I use what ever it was I was saying hasn't broke lol. Still drinking the double ipa

 

[dcHokie]

Having a maibock (or 2 or 3) from Legend out of Richmond, really hitting the spot on a rainy humid night.

Thanks for the recommendation. ....Live Oak Hefe

Your welcome lol. One of the greatest Hefe. You can't do no wrong with Live Oak

Exactly... I have 6 tulips and my favorite by far is the one with the drip of epoxy glass adhesive running down the stem.

Have broken my share of beer and wine glasses. For the sake of my marriage, I no longer wash any wine glasses until the morning (read: afternoon) after.

 

[NeighborsBrewingCo]

I think you're winning the thread so far tonight. Maine sure sounds nice.

On to Founders Curmudgeon here. I can see this being quite nice with a little time to calm down.

I love curmudgeon, great brew. If you ever make it to Maine let me know we can hit novere res in portland, great beer bar. It was de struise night tonight.

 

[nukebrewer]

Critical Mass Imperial Red

 

[BrewinHooligan]

A homebrewed centennial blonde (thanks for the recipe BierMuncher!) that is really tasty after moving stuff all day. Followed by a really good local IPA.

Yeah, I know.
I'm always telling my wife that I don't understand how so many people are always breaking hydrometers and carboys.
Because of that, one of these days I'm going to break both in one day.

 

[j1laskey]

More beer I can't get at home

 

[j1laskey]

I think we have some trades in the future!

Did you make it to any breweries this weekend?

 

[DisturbdChemist]

I'm down for some. Sadly live oak doesn't bottle though their over 15yrs old. I'm sure you have stuff I want up in Boston. Lol


Now drinking Brooklyn's 2011 Monster ale. Smooth

 

[coldcrash]

Gonna play with fire for a minute:

I too have never broken a hydrometer or a carboy.

Of course, my brew days usually begin around 7am and are over by 2pm, so I'm not really handling my brew tools and fermentation vessels under the same conditions as my drinking vessels.

I promise I'll post on the "Official Broken Hydrometer Count" thread as soon as I'm able to do so.

Oh btw: Weyerbacher Heresy

I need to talk my wife into letting me(minus family) just take a day trip to Austin to hit a couple breweries.
But I think monkeys would sooner fly out of my carboy before that would ever happen.

Just kicked my keg of HB double two hearted. And don't have a suitable backup ready. Crap.

 

[Ostomo517]

Although trading is a very fun and exciting part of this obsession we have! Speaking of Great Lakes one more Rye of the Tiger

 

[jerryteague]

Having a well deserved glass of HB'ed IPA while winding down from another day at work. After I finish this one, I have to get in bed. I have to be at work for another trip out of town this afternoon. When I get back home from this next trip, I think I need a couple of days off (I haven't been home more than 1/2 day at a time for weeks).

 

[Billy-Klubb]

hot cup of instant ginger drink before a cup of coffee.

Wonderful wonderful place Novare is. I've spent many a paycheck sitting at those old wooden tables.

 

[nedvalton]

Some more IPA , just got back from a brew fest , drank a lot if samples !!! Bought a cool glass too

View attachment 121566

That's the exact glass I shattered the other week. I won't be at brew feat this year to replace it. First year since it started that I will miss

 

[DerCribben]

I'm up in Portland right now. Had a "kegging" party last night with a couple of buddies. Drank copious amounts of a few different IPA's while we kegged up my most recent batch of IIPA.

I have also spent more money than I care to think about at the Res...

 

[liquiditynerd]

Definitely have the equipment. I have a few cultures I keep around such as brett brux trois and conan. I like the particular sourness from that JP La Roja for sure..it is a keeper.

as for the wine barrel. My wife and I are headed to wine country for dinner and some stops at some local wineries/breweries/distillery up along the lake. I will be coming home with a wine barrel if the place I called still has one but will be definitely returning with a used barrel (10 gallon) from the distillery..I am unsure which one I want because they have so many kinds.

now drinking a Siren Noire from Heavy Seas. This is rather sweet from when I remember it last..then again, it was in the back of the fridge long forgotten!

:fro:

Where did you go for the wine barrel? Wifey got the hook up from the distillery, good folks over there. In laws are on Cayuga, freaking love it. Love the new Ithaca brewery.
