Well‽
Crisp, cold, refreshing amber ale. Pleasant hints of orange up front of a light maltiness. Everyone who's tried one agrees that they are good. I've got a milk stout in bottles, now, and a brown ale in the fermenter.

Ice cold half-caff with soy milk and lots of ice cubes for crunching.
Does it count that I buzzed my bud in the coffee grinder last night?

If the Scots had decent whiskey, they'd have been able to kick the English out a long damned time ago.

That actually is the one bad "side-effect". I've noticed that on the days that I "throw back" a case of beer in-stead that I don't have to get up a couple of times during the night to urinate.

Foot-In-Ass has been rambling in-co-herently as usual, Sofie and I have passed most of the days "under the in-fluence", and Choad is still trying to fight city-hall. Oh, and, Fnord "came out" as a fudge-packer. Other than that, you really haven't missed much.

I'm at I believe 4.5 jiggers of tequila and 3.5 bottles of 6% beer.

Store bought mead, good but not as good as my own. I have two carboys waiting to be bottled as soon as the yeast gives up. There is also 28 pounds of Colorado wildflower honey that's been mumbling and hinting at me for several weeks now.

I had a buddy in the local brew club that made the best mead ever from honey off my parents ranch. My mead supply got cut short because he and another friend had health problems and made a murder suicide pact. On Thanksgiving day they went out into the mountains, my buddy shot his cancer ridden friend in the head. The next step was for him to off himself, but he couldn't do it after seeing how much of a mess it made. Poor bastard is locked up now.

Last night I tried the first batch of my cider that I did a secondary fermentation on with raisins, holly honey and grains of paradise. At about 12% it's moderately strong, and the spice flavors were all there, but it's still really young. Ill check back on it in about 6 months.
So I went back to the fridge and grabbed a double chocolate stout and that proved the perfect nightcap.

Yes, I do. Get a bottle of extract and follow the directions. I tried to make it using roota and herbs once, but it was disappointing at best, toxic at worst. If you can find an A&W nearby, suborn a manager and get a carton of concentrate, but handle it carefully as it's mainly phosphoric acid.

Real root beer is made from sassafras root. It provides an organic precursor for MDMA and also causes cancer like the good lord intended.

Sasparilla, sassafras, wild cherry bark, among a host of others more or less noxious.

#185 2011-02-06 12:14:46
I use a combination of both the extract and a good dose of dried sassafrass root bark shavings and fresh cherry bark. It's easy to dig the sassafrass roots as they usually grow in sandy soil. 5 gallons takes about a double handfull of dried root bark shavings. Think carrot peelings.
Use about 2 cups of sugar to ferment and provide carbonation in the final product. Less if you put it in glass, but I serve from a stainless keg and it can take the extra pressure.

In the past I've used a standard beer wort or mead must with either extract or roots and bark added.

See, now that's perfect. I don't have to worry about the 2 packs of ciggies I smoke while drinking. The cancer would come anyway.
