We are loading everything in a truck in June and putting it in storage through July while we roam. Then we'll start apartment searching and hope to be in an apt by Sept.

― I need new, hip khakis (DJP), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 15:42 (eleven years ago) link
Probably in late July or early August.

hrmmm my reaction to the nyc news is a mixture of being very happy for yall and at the same time being selfishly deeply sad abt it.

srsly just rename the thread SO U MOVING TO NYC FINE I NEVER LIKED U ANYWAY
― catbus otm (gbx), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 23:24 (eleven years ago) link

― Rachel Profiling (jjjusten), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 23:27 (eleven years ago) link
tonight i eat freshly made carne asada tacos tho (by a real chef person and everything) so yknow i can get past my feelings and move forward in this life. full of tacos. also my co-homebrewing compatriot bought a propane burner today so we can brew outdoors and up our quantities to 20 gallon batches this summer. so that rules.
― Rachel Profiling (jjjusten), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 23:31 (eleven years ago) link
go on...
― catbus otm (gbx), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 23:32 (eleven years ago) link
man you should come to Brew Day
What am brew day?
― Rachel Profiling (jjjusten), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 23:47 (eleven years ago) link
my buddy's dad is a super serious home brewer. like, his garage is given over to it. every couple months it is brew day, wherein we go and "help" him brew by which I mean drink what's last of the last batch and eat jalapeƱo stuffed pheasant breast wrapped in bacon
― catbus otm (gbx), Thursday, 26 April 2012 00:12 (eleven years ago) link
huh that sounds awesome
― I'M THAT POSTA, AAAAAAAAAH (DJP), Thursday, 26 April 2012 00:51 (eleven years ago) link
I've decided that brew day is the most important holliday and it happens randomly and all year round
tell your friend's dad to do fireworks and someone start writing an anthem

brew day is the kind of holiday that even a shiftless pinko heathen like me can get behind
― Rachel Profiling (jjjusten), Thursday, 26 April 2012 15:25 (eleven years ago) link
literally just got a text informing me that brew day is this coming saturday
― catbus otm (gbx), Thursday, 26 April 2012 15:34 (eleven years ago) link
imma track down some pics, the brewing apparatus is nuts. he actually runs tubing from the garage into the basement to fill the buckets. there are like thirty rocket kegs down there
this man is an ICU doc btw, so this is serious business
― catbus otm (gbx), Thursday, 26 April 2012 15:37 (eleven years ago) link
that is so fucking cool. brewing scratches all of my weird never get to do it itches wrt closet chemistry geekery, and creates a situation where me + a couple peeps basically have to hang out and yammer at each other for 4 hours w/o the distraction of bar/party/show/whatever. plus it makes alcohol that i can put in my brain. its such an ultra satisfying thing to me.
i should start a homebrewing thread. maybe there is one.
― Rachel Profiling (jjjusten), Thursday, 26 April 2012 15:44 (eleven years ago) link
I've got a kit that was bequeathed to me, and never used. Hmmm
― catbus otm (gbx), Thursday, 26 April 2012 15:46 (eleven years ago) link
we currently have an old english ipa and a bitter in the fermenters. the ipa is measuring at 9.6% potential alcohol. it has (this is literal, not figurative btw) A POUND of hops in it for a 4.5 gallon batch. even the furious clone we did only had 4 oz of hops. i fully expect it to hurt to drink it and am soooooo excited to find out.
― Rachel Profiling (jjjusten), Thursday, 26 April 2012 15:48 (eleven years ago) link
woah
when is that going to be drinkable *furiously examines calendar*
also you should talk to my dad, he's been toying with the idea of doing a beer in addition to his wine adventures
― I'M THAT POSTA, AAAAAAAAAH (DJP), Thursday, 26 April 2012 15:49 (eleven years ago) link
the prob with the crazy ipa is that it takes forever to be ready - iirc its 2 weeks in the primary fermenter, 4-6 weeks in the secondary, and then 6 weeks of bottle conditioning? and those are minimums. i mean theres stuff that takes a year so i shouldnt complain but i want to drink it now
i forgot about the wine thing, how is that going?
― Rachel Profiling (jjjusten), Thursday, 26 April 2012 15:55 (eleven years ago) link
He's doing a red wine right now; I can't remember if the grapes were pinot noir- or malbec-related. He's been geeking out over the fermentation process and every time we see him he brings samplers from his various batches for us to taste. I think the end result is going to be a pretty robust red wine reminiscent of a strong pinot noir, verging on cabernet.
― I'M THAT POSTA, AAAAAAAAAH (DJP), Thursday, 26 April 2012 16:00 (eleven years ago) link
thats awesome! is he growing the grapes or?
wine making seems way more visionary and long-term than brewing
― Rachel Profiling (jjjusten), Thursday, 26 April 2012 16:05 (eleven years ago) link
He's got 200+ vines growing next to our house surrounded by an electric fence to discourage deer. I recommend calling him up and asking if you can swing by to check it out because it's kind of crazy amazeballs.
― I'M THAT POSTA, AAAAAAAAAH (DJP), Thursday, 26 April 2012 16:16 (eleven years ago) link
yeah growing grapes for wine is pretty next level. i have considered planting my own hops but A) i am a crap gardener and hate gardening b) my neighbors are stupid and old and would prob just assume i was growing dope in my backyard
― Rachel Profiling (jjjusten), Thursday, 26 April 2012 16:21 (eleven years ago) link
Next time I visit them you need to swing by, it's super worth seeing

this is fairly typical brew day activity
― catbus otm (gbx), Thursday, 26 April 2012 16:57 (eleven years ago) link
I look forward to driving jjj around the perimeter of the electric fence while DJP's dad shoots at us.

― catbus otm (gbx), Thursday, 26 April 2012 17:31 (eleven years ago) link
there is something v v hstngs abt a picture that combines drunk, guns, and unsafe biking all in one.
― Rachel Profiling (jjjusten), Thursday, 26 April 2012 17:33 (eleven years ago) link
these are also all things that have contributed to many of my best times on this planet so i am the product of my environment i guess
― Rachel Profiling (jjjusten), Thursday, 26 April 2012 17:34 (eleven years ago) link
real talk
― catbus otm (gbx), Thursday, 26 April 2012 17:35 (eleven years ago) link
it's a bb gun btw in case anyone is getting the vapors
― catbus otm (gbx), Thursday, 26 April 2012 17:37 (eleven years ago) link
disappointed
― Rachel Profiling (jjjusten), Thursday, 26 April 2012 17:37 (eleven years ago) link
is it just me or is there something uniquely HSTNGS about it being a BB gun
― I'M THAT POSTA, AAAAAAAAAH (DJP), Thursday, 26 April 2012 17:38 (eleven years ago) link
haha, yes
brew day is in HDSN but we're in the same idiot rural ecosystem so i think it scans
― catbus otm (gbx), Thursday, 26 April 2012 17:40 (eleven years ago) link
my fiance bought me a bbgun & now we keep our bbguns in the trunk for impromptu good times. she is from mass, by way of bama, where she first learned to shoot shotgun and .22 after burying a pig and some coals in the ground.
so good company is what i'm saying
