What you can buy for a Hundred Billion Dollars in Zimbabwe.

I'll bid 50 billion dollars,,,
That landscape picture really isn't worth a Hundred Billion.

I went out to dinner with my fiance, sister and parents for their 30th wedding anniversary last night, and as I was describing different temperatures of mash and their effects on wort fermentability (classic dinner conversation), my mum persisted in saying that fermentability was not a real word.

She also claims that she used to be an english teacher...

Just guessing but have you noticed a drop off in dinner invitations since you took up brewing?

Yea, i wasn't even invited to this one as per usual. I just sort've show up now, with a list of conversation topics, and just watch excitement disappear from peoples faces once beer/brewing is mentioned.

I'm a little excited for the uninvited christmas period...

Yep. You know you have your delivery just about perfect when their eyes start to glaze over before you even start to speak...

I didn't want to jump straight into that and lose their concentration early on.

I was planning to ease them into mash pH with a little history of the production of malted barley to begin with. From there, it'll be a glorious journey from grain to brain.

When friends grace us with their presence at our gatherings, I enjoy showing off my perle vine, graciously draped over the pool fence, saying "you know, poor people in england used to go on summer holidays to pick this ****!"
Wows them every time.

I hate friends or gatherings. Family is an even rarer occasion. :icon_chickcheers:

Bathroom light in my motel is blinking on and off. And on and off.

What makes it worse is that the taps and shower head have these disco flashing lights in them that come on when you turn the taps on.
They flash red, blue green neon colours.

It's like being in a disco by yourself.


At five o'clock in the morning.



Naked.





Sober

Just put another dollar in the vibrating bed, you'll be right.

I just slapped myself a few times to wake back the **** up.

 

[Bribie G]

slapped or spanked? There's a subtle difference.

Hooley Dooley.

I've been at a mate's for a few hand pumps (nothing suss) and then making my way through some case swap beers...

26 litres of strike water in the mash tun, about to mash in. Lucky I checked as the falsie wasn't hooked up. Drained tun, try again.

Go to mash in, mash paddle (ok, cheap-arsed spoon) is missing. Closest thing on hand is a piece of left over copper pipe from my manifold.

Burnt my hands and feet.

Strike temp out by 4 degrees.

Will not be in bed 'til 2 am.

Good times.

Is it too late for chat?

No self spankings.. ty.. lol. Merry Christmas

Very happy. 5 months without having the time to do an AG beer. Filled in time with FWK and partials etc. Just sipping my first AG beer(s) in ages...a french saison and a dark ale type thing that I've been messing around with. Bloody beautiful after a long, hot day. I feel like cancelling the party I've got tonight so I don't have to share the kegs with anyone else haha.

Huge thanks to Vic45 for putting me out of my misery and carbonating the kegs for me (yep, even 1 week old these beers kick the posterior of all the other things I was ******* around with).

Props to the tickler of men for wording me up on Ding pils... gives the saison a huge malty backbone even at 1.006.

Went to Bunnings this afternoon to get a proper brass garden tap hose fitting so I can use my RO machine - the plastic tap connectors are shyte and spray little-boy-pissing sprays.

There was a sausage sizzle happening at the front door so I got a sausage (butterflied) in a sandwich with a good mound of fried onions and a squirt of BBQ sauce. First sausage I've had for about six months and it shat all over a Maccas. :icon_cheers:

Not so suprising Bribie, Unlike Macca's, the average aussie snag will contain at least 25% real meat!

Nil happenings. Move on, nothing to see here.

Amber Ale and Brown Porters chilled in the fridge, ready for Beerisyummy's arrival shortly with his mrs, our daughter dear.

Bought 4 good sized fresh lobsters at the Co-op this morning.
Bought 5 dozen unshucked Sydney Rock Oysters this arvo.
Mitchell 2002 Riesling, and McWilliams Elizabeth 2002 Semillon just extracted from the cellar.

We're heading for some good times.

And the plan is to brew a Hefeweizen on Boxing Day.

If he asks for any "advice" on kettle construction just smile politely and change the subject.

Have a good one, Warra.
