Insane of the membrane! Insane of the Brain!!!!!

Holy hell hoppy! What's the matter with you??? Give me some. That's insane

u can have all the CAL! Holy CAL!!!

90% of these extracts were purchased on sale almost half off or close to it!

There goes my tax refund!!! LMAO!

Half off is good.

The cost of the 6 gal (3 batches) I made using Cooper's Dark Ale can will be $18 + maybe another $16 for assorted DME, LME and hop adds. (which I did not get on sale and all are small quantity buys)  So that is another way to go if you are making  larger batches and can get them on sale.  Even cheaper if you buy bulk on add ingredients.

Of course, I did not taste it yet, but it was probably made in the same plant as Mr B HMEs so will be fine.

if u make that! I want sum! gimme a cple of weeks and i'll send u the CAL I need to assess all my future recipes that may or may not include it!!

That recipe looks like it will be strong enough to walk away on its own.

the second row in unnoticeable, I have 2 cans of dortmunder, 2-ESB, 1- coopers sparkling ale, 1- Diablo, 3 more cans of Canadian blonde, 5 cans of grande bohemian Czech pilsner, 6- cans of winter dark ale, 2- cans of American lager, 3- cans American ale, and I think that just about does it, thank God!

what pisses me off is that i'm done for now on buying Mr. Beer extracts!!!! then I get an email from some yaywho that's got a big sale going on, and what do I do!!!!!????? my kitchen cabinets are almost bare! the fridge has more beer stuff than food! I FREAKING LOVE BEER!!!!  It's called OBD!!!!

Without @HoppySmile!, we'd probably go out of business.

without these stolen credut kards i'd be steelun kars!!!

Are you trying to start your own distribution center?

really trying to get more frnds brewing beer, but I get the same answer, " I don't have time!" doesn't make any sense, brewing beer takes little of your time, while it ferments you have all the time in the world!!!

You're kind of right Hoppy. I tell customers it's only as hard as you WANT it to be.  However I find that life conspires to prevent you from brewing. Hell, I run a LHBS and most weeks I can't even work an HME in. That being said, I also realize I'm 60 and not anywhere near as busy as I was in my 20's thru my 40's. (my youngest graduated High School some 2 months before my 50th birthday)

i had a friend come over yesterday and basically drink all my beer (store bought) then says, i gotta go, got some things to do, if he had his own brewed beer it could be different. I've tried dozens of times to go over to his house and set him up with a Mr. beer kit, hell give him a complete free kit at that!! Nope, he doesn't have the time.....

1) That's a mooch, not a friend.

 

2) Hopefully he wasn't driving if he drank like Hoppy... 

Got the NorthWest Pale Ale refills, again they are in the  Distribution Channel boxes. A different color for the Craft series.

I will start a batch of Santa Rita tonight.

 

Huh? Why does Hoppy have a bottle of Sardines there?  Oh sorry. My eyes are not what they used to be  lol.

LOL! man that would be some nasty tasting beer, but what an experience it would take to brew something like Sardine beer?? the jar has some bourbon soaked oak chips from last year, I just like opening occasionally and take out a chip to chew on.

this guy can drink 2 cases of beer and drive normal, but I always tell him, it'll catch up to you. Oklahoma has one of the most strict DUI programs in the country, if get ur first one, better spending a couple of grand, a second is a felony, which serves up to 5 years in prison, or the alternative, DUI court, plan on spending up to 20,000 grand and stuck in a program for 2 dreadful years. my lil brother been thru it. I drink at home, and now since I rarely run out of beer, no need to drive to get more...enuf said!!

u know I brewed a 5 gallon northwest just recently very similar to the Santa Rita, and it was by mistake mostly, when referencing the recipe by comparasion to mr. beer recipes it was basically identical

Did you taste it yet?

Mine is fermenting but yeast is nowhere near so active as the Coopers in my 3 dark ale variants.

Good deal, at least he is not drinking the homebrew :-)
