That Special Feeling You Get...

[Kai]

... for that split second as you watch a cube full of cold-conditioned beer fall from bench height to the floor.

Thank the lord it didn't burst or spill, but I think I'm up for another week's cold conditioning <_<

 

[AndrewQLD]

You are one lucky brewer Kai, make sure you savor every last drop of that beer.

Cheers
Andrew

 

[Aaron]

Lucky you had not yet removed the lid

 

[Kai]

I couldn't remember whether or not I'd loosened the lid, it added well to the suspense.

 

[BenH]

Did you vainly try to catch it on the way down, or were you paralysed with horror?

 

[Kai]

Paralysed with a beer glass in one hand

 

[Adamt]

I would have dropped the glass... for the greater good!

Unless it was a very special glass...

 

[BenH]

I would have dropped the glass... for the greater good!

Unless it was a very special glass...

Yeah, but as it turns out, Kai didn't need to, apparently he's got one of those special 'bouncing' cubes...

At least we can laugh about it!

 

[JSB]

Is there anything "no chill" cant do !!!

Cheers
JSB

 

[Kai]

I reckon if I'd had some Glacier in there then the cube would have bounced right back up and the yeast would still be flocced out too!

 

[JSB]

mmmm lemony!!!

Or, in Kai's case, lucky enough had survived sampling from primary to make it into the cube in the first place

That Special feeling you get when.........

You forget the whirlfloc tabs in the boil but the beer clears anyway .

You leave the ballvalve open as you are filling the kettle but your lightning reactions limit the wastage to a tablespoonfulof wort on the concrete .

The beer that tastes like crap out of the fermenter, transforms into the best beer you ever made from the kegs .

Your mate dont like your favourite beer but does like the one that is not so flash .

You have been reading the hydrometer at the incorrect temp and the SG is correct out the kettle, after all that panic .

When you think she hates your hobby SWMBO buys you piece of brewing equipment to your astonishment.

I feel at peace, knowing that there are other brewers who suffer from severe loss of brew from the ferm due to constant sampling

:icon_cheers:

I actually was forced to drink 6 glasses of Saaz Pale Ale from my ferm today waiting for the missus to return home from shopping.

It was the most painfull thing I have had to do since being forced to stay at last years QLd swap meet at Sqyres

 

[Kai]

Duke,

I wouldn't call it "suffering".

 

[randyrob]

are u sure it didnt hop?

got a new name for this brew now kai?

 

[Kai]

Yeah, "$%&ing cloudy ale".

 

[Zwickel]

that very special feeling you get....when your batch, 60l of chilled wort, stands ready to pitch and the 5l-glass balloon with 3l of viscous yeast slips down the table and smashes, the yeast floats between your toes and everywhere.....

so it happened to me yesterday. :angry:

Be careful if you do try to catch it, 20 odd Kg can do some nasty strains to your back, and twists to fingers and wrists, before banging into your shin.

Cheers,
Greg
