SWEET BABY JESUS GET IN MY MOUTH
Oh man. The Group needs to know about this game. And play it. Frequently.
omg that’d be glorious
I actually play this with friends at home. Tom! Jess! Reblog!
Jason is why we can’t have nice things.
I dry hopped my Maris Otter/centennial SMaSH with 2oz of whole leaf Centennial hops. I’m going to give it a week with these hops, rack to a carboy, cold crash it, and keg it up. I sampled the beer when I opened it to add the hops, and it’s fantastic. It’s really balanced and refreshing, and the aroma’s going to be amazing once it’s had a week of dry hopping.
“When you talk about guns you always hear a lot about the Second Amendment and the Founding Fathers, and what they would say if they were here. Well, I for one think that if the Founding Fathers were here today, they would be super freaked out by cars. You can talk to them all you want about the Second Amendment, and they would just yell, ‘What are all these metal beasts doing rolling down the thoroughfare?’ And you’d tell them, ‘Those are cars’. And then you’d try to talk to them about militias and they would scream, ‘How can you speak of militias when steel dragons fly through the sky?’ And you’d say, ‘Those are airplanes.’ But even if they could wrap their heads around that they would eventually ask, ‘Why are all the slaves out?’ And they would think that. You can groan all you want, but they would think that.
And yes, the Founding Fathers wanted you to have the right to bear arms, but the guys who wrote that would pee through all eight layers of their pants if they saw what guns are now. In 1787 shooting a bullet was slightly faster than throwing one. If you wanted to be bulletproof in 1787 you put on a heavy coat. So with that in mind, I’m all about Americans having guns as long as they’re the muskets from 1787 that take forever to load.”
FUCKING THIS!
Exactly this. Eeeeeeexactly this.
But seriously folks.
I brewed my first batch of all-grain beer last night. It’s a SMaSH IPA made with 10lbs of Maris Otter malt and 5oz of Centennial hops (an ounce each at 60, 15, and 5, and 1 week of dryhopping with the remaining 2oz) My mash tun is a bottling bucket I wrapped in foil insulation, and it worked really well. There was a bit more temperature loss than I anticipated, but I still hit my target gravity (1.051). I also used a wort chiller and auto siphon for the first time, and I’m not sure how I ever lived without those two things. It should be ready to keg/bottle in 3 weeks or so.
Not The Onion of the Day: This is a screengrab from today’s Fox Nation story on President Obama’s support of gay marriage. It has since been changed to read: “Obama flip flops on gay marriage.” Still a fail.
I left for the war on marriage a boy.
I came back a monster.
I’m finally switching to all-grain brewing! I insulated my bottling bucket with Reflectix foil to use as a mash tun, built a homemade wort chiller, and I cleaned, organized, and stored all of my homebrewing equipment. All in, switching to all-grain cost me just over $60.
Oh yeah and I worked on my paper a bit.
