Pretty cool actually.
Some background. That crater was erupting without stop since 1983. The lava was continuously almost to the rim and flowing out down the flanks through various tubes. On April 30, 2018 a series of large earthquakes collapsed the the magma chamber below it and the main Kilauea summit crater, draining both. On May 3rd the new eruption sequence started miles away. Both craters on top have emptied.
First loser!
Or third. A little plain but super low self esteem.
Thursday Tonio continues the tale of The Glibening
Is this a continuation from the early days? Those were awesome.
Just to carry on what was asked in the last thread, I’m not looking for beers you like, but flavors. Let me know those, and I can probably guide you towards an IPA that you like.
Flavors? I like beer flavored beer. I don’t know what you mean. Like chocolate, coffee……? I get those in porters and stouts. I am not a fan of citrusy beers, but did have a peach beer in Australia that was damn good.
I actually just mean flavors that you like. If you like chocolate and coffee, that’s a start. Not a fan of citrus, got it. How do you feel about mango and papaya?
And it’ll take several weeks before it gets to homebrewing. For as much as beer is looked down upon, it’s one of the more complicated alcoholic beverages to make.
Do you dare to drink a peach?
“Would that you drink of my as lips as deeply?”
Oh, and I look forward to your article. Home brewing has been on the to do list for years.
I like citrus, coffee, chocolate, and whatever flavor applies to Weis bier.
Eyes up here, mister!

Nephilium, I’m not sure what time your article is going to post tomorrow. I will be outside working on a project most of the day. But I will check in late in the afternoon.

Oh, I like that! Thank you.
Can’t find any English translations of that song. Starts with something like, “My room that faces west is always filled with your smell. If I have to live alone, in order to remember you, I’ve left the scratches in the wall.”
This is just bizarre. Are you looking at my Youtube history? I’ve been on Teresa Teng kick lately and was listening to her in another tab. Sadly died far too young. Also the high note music lounge channel.
Here she is singing Zhou Xuan’s “When will you come back?”.
She’s awesome. Kind of a Japanese (actually Taiwanese) Karen Carpenter in that every note is spot on.
And I know her mostly as a Mandarin singer, although I knew she sang in Japanese. I can listen to the The Moon Represents My Heart over and over.
Zhou Xuan also died early. Her original version from 1937. Register is way too high for today’s ear, but I still like it. And the accordion accompaniment. Sounds like polka.
Also, both – 林.
No idea what she’s singing about, but it’s nice background music. Makes me want to be “diligent”.
Uhm Aktually *pushes up glasses and adjusts leiderhosen* Polka is classified as such by it’s timing as a ‘two step’. This is more akin to an Irish ballad on a squeazebox.
Shucks I didn’t see the new post. I hate to repeat myself but… I thought this might be news you can use:
Chicken stroganoff is a flavor combination that does not work.
My stepmom used to make turkey tetrazzini when I was a kid. I miss it.
Heh I’ve only ever seen that in a Stouffer’s version – which means it must be a 50s classic. But yeah, it was delicious.
Breasts or thighs?
Um…I imagine that’s true. Sour cream is an abomination.
See, I really like sour cream. And mushrooms. And I really like chicken. What could possibly go wrong?
Yeah, I would totally be on board with some paprika and black pepper.
No, it isn’t.
You have to remember SP is using tofu cream.
I can’t even.
I don’t care for old cream either, normally I’ll sub cream cheese.
Why not?
It just tasted disgusting. Which is probably why nobody does it.
I should add this was Lipton’s stroganoff to which I added my own chicken, not something I found in a restaurant or a store.
Ah.
We’ve found the problem. Make your own and I promise it works.
I imagine the flavor combinations would have to be different though. This junk, while beneath many, tastes fine to me with any kind of beef.
Hm, I made chicken stroganoff for the first time a few weeks ago and it was really good, but then again I didn’t use a ‘Lipton’s stroganoff’, whatever the hell that is.
This is true.
oooh, probably not, thanks ahead of time

Math is hard.
That’s DOCTOR Sipes, you racist sexist asshole.
When it comes to the question of incompetent versus corrupt, I’m starting to think it’s incompetent seasoned with corrupt.
I’m starting to think there’s not a difference.
Well, there’s:
1) Trying to do good, but fucking up. {Incompetence}
2) Trying to do bad, and succeeding. {Corruption}
3) Trying to do bad, and fucking up. {Government Corruption}
MSNBC-13 was going on how it was “nonfeasance” not “malfeasance”.
Now I’m picturing Maddow with face tatts. *shudder*
Because that makes the result fair?
“When it comes to confirming judges and counting votes, Democrats are amazingly consistent – The law is NO obstacle to the outcome they seek.
Whether it was setting aside the presumption of innocence for Judge Kavanaugh or ignoring Florida election laws, liberals in Washington and Florida are seeking an outcome. The Law be Damned!”

Drinking BIF #3. Squatch Ale
A nice beer, but not exactly to style for a wee heavy. A bit on the dry side (but that’s how they describe it, so it must be intentional) and bit on the hop-forward side.
A hop forward wee heavy? I’m now intrigued. How does it compare to a hop forward American barleywine?
Bigfoot BW, Sierra Nevada, that’s hop forward
I don’t do barleywines, so I can’t compare.
This beer has the classic caramel and roast aromas, and it’s getting better as it warms up.
The flavor also has good caramel and roasty malts, and it’s getting better as it warms up. At this point, the malt and hops are in better balance than when it came out of the fridge. Still, wee heavy is supposed to be sweet and malt dominant.
I get annoyed when beer styles that are not supposed to be heavy on hops get a little boost in the hops to make IPA drinkers happy I guess. I don’t like IPA, but I don’t begrudge the market for making products that a lot of people like. When I go to a brew pub and look at the menu, I look for the styles where malt is supposed to be the reason for the beer to exist. It’s frustrating when the brewer ups the hops just to up the hops. The worst case I ever saw was an Irish Red with about 60 IBUs.
To be clear. The beer is not bad. It’s actually quite tasty. It’s just not to style. {homebrewer and competitor bitching about style guides and judges}
I’m sure you know your Beer types and styles but Marketers don’t know shit, you may miss out on good beer
I appreciate the styles just for the fact they produce guidelines. However, I’m always upset when I get a beer that claims to be a style and is so far off it just is wrong (the most recent case of this was a “Kolsch” that tasted of caremel and residual sugars). My complaint about the judges is when I get dinged for something that’s directly in style (like an American Stout that got dinged for having some astringency and coffee notes).
Wee Heavies are also one of those styles I don’t care for, so hearing hop forward intrigued me. And at the ABV, it seems like it would almost fall into a Barleywine category.
7.5% ABV is the low end for a wee heavy.
The IBUs are in the middle of the acceptable range. If the beer was not on the dry side, the hops would have been in better balance. And it was much better at “cellar” temperature than coming out of the fridge.
I prefer Ales, Stouts and Sours, but IPAs are everywhere, some good some…… Remember to look at the Bottle, a Pale Ale IS NOT an IPA,
so much good beer
I prefer sours, sours, and sours. 😉
That being said, there are other styles that enjoy having every now and then — scotch ale, porter, Belgian double/quads, and saisons (esp. Brett saison). I look for complex grain bills, strong malt flavors, and enough hops to balance sweetness. Or beer that have complex spicey notes (see saison).
Have you had the Boulevard Saison-Brett? And again, if you have a Trader Joe’s in your area, they’ve got their (Unibroue made) Vintage Ale and a (Petrus made) Cranberry Sour.
Neph, make Kinnath my BIF send to Guy, I think he will enjoy it!
Hmm, I don’t Want to drive to Claremont, but I think I must…..
(Petrus made) Cranberry Sour.
Have not had the Saison-Brett.
I have Love Child #9 and the Changeling in the fridge right now.
Was ist “trader joe”?
Actually, there is one about 40 miles away from where I live.
The only favoritism I do in the BIF’s is to avoid people shipping to the same people they have in the past and to avoid shipping to someone who’s close enough to drive to (Hyperion, if you want any of the Cleveland beers, I’ll be driving through your neck of the woods in December).
Other then that, I aim for randomness. If I was trying to fix things, we’ve got a Cincinnati brewery and a Cleveland brewery focusing on sours.
@Kinnath, my TJs 15 miles away, may as well be forty,
Neph, Lack wan’t amenable to my Randomness when we played, no ones fault but that’s how I see it
The Saison-Brett from Boulevard made a friend of mine agree that “sours” can be good. I’ve learned through the years that it’s one that you don’t want to sit on (the Brett overcarbonates the beer). I’ve got about a case of a homebrewed batch we did that involved Brett being pitched at about 40% of fermentation. Trader Joe’s is a grocery store well known for private labeling items in their stores. I unfortunately live 30 minutes away from two of them.
And for keeping score. My first BIF was a nice Belgian Pale Ale. The 2nd was a great Saison. And the 3rd was an enjoyable Squatch Ale (but not exactly as scotch ale).
Well, I’m done for the night.
Got to get up and dig ditches in the morning.

That whole thread is everything I hate about the 21st century in a nutshell. “This thing that I believe!” “No, THIS thing that I believe!” “You’re wrong!” “No, YOU’RE wrong!”

Konishiki had some pipes. Around 2003 I was walking down the street and saw a huge line in front of a pachinko shop. Usually there are half a dozen losers waiting for the parlor to open, but that day there were hundreds. I walked to the front of the shop and peeked in to see what was up. Some security guard came up to me and told me to stay in line and pushed me to the very front. I just did what he said and nobody behind me said anything. About 5 minutes later, the doors opened and a big curtain was hanging down. Drum roll and then the curtains opened, revealing Konishiki sitting on a stool. The MC yells out in Japanese, “Rock, paper, scissors…” so I throw out paper. Konishiki rolled out stone and everybody cheers. He shook my hand (giant paws on that guy) and they take our picture. He signs a tee shirt with “Yokozuna” printed on it. I left with it and continued down the street. I think I got it somewhere in the house here.

Back from Friendsgiving party. Ladies did their thing while the gents sampled several beers including bourbon barrel aged Victory at Sea (fantastic), and Founder’s KBS in a vertical flight from 2015 to 2018. The older stuff really tasted boozy. A bit disappointed to be honest. I’ve cellared several bottles and it seems like it was a waste of time.
I am thinking of putting off the Swamp and doing Snow/Ice instead, I know how to do water, but Snow is new, and i can use my base for either Ponds or Swamp, which would be more fun?
