I'll pull mine up on pc later tonight.

 

[Topher]

Is anyone caffeine sensitive?

Tastes good but I feel like a freakin hummingbird.

 

[barls]

i am. but ill survive.
10 mls of cola is all i need to get the shakes.

 

[Topher]

Should be able to squeeze a few out without coffee out if you prefer.

Ive been tasting coffee all day. And usually cut myself off at 12. Plus the coffee beer tonight has tipped me over some kind of limit.
Probably like 2 or 3 coffees in a longneck. So its either a sharing beer, a breakfast beer or a 'fire up' beer.

Mrs topher has politley suggested i need more (normal) beer to calm down.

EDIT: That's 12 o'clock...not 12 coffees.

 

[barls]

ill survive. on the upside you will get a decent feed back on it.

 

[Topher]

Sweet. The base beer isn't bad....but a little too acrid and roasty for me. Thats the idea of the coffee, tone it down and round it off.

 

[marksy]

The beersmith profile was "The English Extra Special Strong Bitter"
Alc% = Est 5.5
IBU = Est 43
EBC = Est 25

Ready to drink now, it has been bottled for almost 1 month.

I find with all my Long necks, they are best left in the fridge for a minimum of 3 days prior to drinking. I find it really helps bring the flavors out, as opposed to putting them in the fridge the day of wanting to drink.

I also added to the case swap the following for side swaps or drinking on the day:

#30 - Stout x 3 (my oatmeal stout minus the oats)
#33 - Left of Pale Ale x 2 (made from all the left over ingredients I had, Nelson Sav hops in there)
#34 - Tim Taylor Land Lord Clone x 3 (really bloody tasty - but needs the time in the fridge for max malty goodness, excellent head)

Im away with work all weekend, it would have been great to catch up and put a face to all the names. Next time I am requesting the day off, it sounds like its gonna be a ripper!

Thanks to Barls for hosting and letting me drop my case swap over early in the week too!

Enjoy!

Cheers.

Marksy.

[Topher]

I've toned the coffee beer down. It gave me funny dreams and Mrs Topher said I was a bit of a *** pest so I'm not to combine that much coffee and beer again.

I Halved the dose.

lol
thats funny but were you more of one than normal is the big question
ok I've got the ribs from masters and ill put them on when i get up in the morning so they will hopefully be done around 12-1.
I've got the onions in the urn pre cooking. I've got chicken thigh I've got to cut up and put in the marinade.
kegs are all good but will check them again in a sec.
that only leaves the gas bottle and making a potato bake in the morning.
