I didn't make it to Andy's social brew this morning since I was deep into a project so I called him to wish him a good day. Andy had a good day to brew with and hope all went well.
Called Steve B. this evening after he got off work and told him that his yeast was ready. I gave him enough yeast for 2 x 1.065 SG batches at 5 gallon yeast plus a starter for his future batches.
Steve and I conversed for about 4 hours this evening drinking pint pours of Kolsch. Plus, I found out that Steve was a pepper head like I am. We talked about a lot of topic tonight. Steve is quite versed in many topics.
A very fine evening that I don't get to do much of anymore. Thanks Steve.

I found out something that I didn't know from Steve (he has been to Germany) is that the color of Kolsch varies in the city.klickcue wrote: Steve and I conversed for about 4 hours this evening drinking pint pours of Kolsch.
Maybe Steve can expand on my statement
Have Fun!

Lupulin Threshold Shift
lupulin threshold shift \lu·pu·lin thresh·old shift\ n
1. When a once extraordinarily hoppy beer now seems pedestrian.
2. The phenomenon a person has when craving more bitterness in beer.
3. The long-term exposure to extremely hoppy beers; if excessive or prolonged, a habitual dependence on hops will occur.
4. When a "Double IPA" just is not enough

Re: Interesting Evening
agreed.
Re: Interesting Evening
Agreed as well. Maybe Steve should start a beer companion/drinking service. I think it would be in high demand. He'll need one of those cellular credit card swipers...

Re: Interesting Evening
OK, looks like I need to standardize rates for people who desire my imbibing companionship. After the demand is stable at an overwhelming pace, I'll consider raffling off an "Evening with Steve" - with proceeds to go to my favorite charity. (Hmmm, what would that be??!! Maybe I need first to register my superpac.)Jensen wrote:Agreed as well. Maybe Steve should start a beer companion/drinking service. I think it would be in high demand.

I hereby take this opportunity to publicly announce my availability as a write-in candidate for President of the United States based on the Presidential Beer Test. (Seems someone won largely based on this in about 2004....) http://www.beerinstitute.org/BeerInstit ... -17-12.pdf
I'd be able to continue a recently-revived tradition of presidents who were home-brewers! http://obamafoodorama.blogspot.com/2011 ... rewed.html
Then again, perhaps I should merely settle for James Madison's proposed cabinet position: Secretary of Beer....

Nope, it's all or none: Remember this November to write-in "Steve" for President!
