I see absolutely nothing wrong with this recipe. And the name is awesome!!!

[Beer-lord]

I'm a sick minded man and things come to me in conversation that I use later. Charlie is our dog and Chupacabra, well, like I said, I'm a sick minded man.

Not sure if this is going to be done before or after the Pliny.

[BlackDuck]

I've duck hunted outside of Krotz Springs on the Atchafalaya River and down in Venice....and I swear I've seen those things running around in the swamps.

[Beer-lord]

Next time you go hunting, you need Charlie to take care of those nasty, goat sucking animals.

[BlackDuck]

Yup....looks like he would be a lot of help.

[Kealia]

Oh, you gotta make a label for this one!

next time take a couple 00 shells and when you see one load them and take the shot then you'll know.

Got this done today.....recipe OG was 1.068 and I got 1.069. I aerated the crap out of this to see if that makes any difference though my air stone won't be in for a few days. And, seems like I lost my Thermapen that I used yesterday. It'll turn up somewhere.
Hot....91 but I'm covered and had a fan on me and drank tons of water. It's done. All but cleaning the pot. 4 hours 38 minutes from light up to pot soak. Not too shabby.

Charlie was absolutely no help at all! And he won't help me cut the grass later today either.

Hopefully the aeration will help with your FG issues. Charlie is a good looking lab. I'm sure he'll be a great supervisor while you cut the grass. He'll sit and watch, just like a good supervisor would!!

[Brewbirds]

Yes that is the I don't cut grass look for sure, maybe with some then why do you keep watering it thrown in for good measure, you're on your own for sure.

Just think of that cold beer at the end and you should be fine.

[Beer-lord]

The question is which cold beer(s) do I drink? Might have to flip a coin.....more than once.

Just ask Charlie. When it comes to he knows his stuff, I'll bet he can tell what the best beer for today is.

That's right, nobody says it can only be one!
