The things that transpired last night
Despite temperatures that had to be measured in degrees Kelvin, we had a pretty good turnout last night. Thanks to all who participated. For once, the focus was actually the beer we were brewing ? primarily because it was boiling, and, therefore, warmest place to be.
The beer cooled just as fast as we could pump it for once. As it cooled, it started making some bizarre patterns… it looked like an Etch-A-Sketch as you’re turning it over and shaking it (I’m trying to make this simpler for Travis to understand). Which is ironic, since we did the equivalent of turning it over and shaking it by pumping it with oxygen (Travis, “oxygen” is part of the “air.” People like you and me need it to survive.).
And for those of you curious as to how our oxygen aeration has been working, we’ve had very good success getting our attenuation up. The fermentations are also muy quick… the impact on taste has yet to be determined.
So no more air humping the bottle? There goes your social life.
Zing! That might be the case if I didn’t live in a metropolitan area, but I do. You central New Yorkers (or should that be singular?) have to take all the interaction you can get. I’m pretty sure that’s why you started the Iroquois League.
The ‘Cuse was a City while you folks in Atlanta were still cutting your tooth in founding a village. Just because our population has dwindled recently doesn’t mean we don’t have history. Plus who wants all that traffic anyways.
I never said you didn’t have history. I just said that your history sucked. Congratulations on steady population declines since the 1950s! That must make real estate pretty cheap. Do you guys still use wampum and glass beads to buy stuff?
As a matter of fact property IS really inexpensive. This means we don’t have to live in trailers like our neighbors to the south. As far as population decline, good riddance! We were just dumping all our problems onto another area…enjoy! Though we don’t use wampum or glass beads, I have been known to use homebrew as currency. How about you guys? How is that confederacy working out for ya? I haven’t seen that Robert E. Lee dollars floating around anywhere up here.
And on the subject, speaking of “history that sucks” how about yours? Enslave much?
So if property is so inexpensive, how do you explain your homebrewing setup? I would think you’d have enough money left over to buy at least a serviceable system. I guess not.
