Cause it is.

I told my wife it was a imperial pint glass. Now she thinks its huge 

I have spent many years unsuccessfully trying to convince my wife that something small was big. Any tips?

I just watch the ‘movies’ with my wife with the category ‘tiny men’  

She thinks they’re normal size and compliments me on being almost as big as a porn star............

That only works if you are bigger than ‘tiny men’.

...a question your wife has obviously never had to ponder, just had to put up with. ?

?

Well you did open the door... ?

On a side note, maybe it's a cumulative, degenerative disorder brought upon by brewing & drinking beers that use Magnum hops? ?

I feel sorry for a lot of you right now. ?

Lusty.

See below, 

This is exactly what I mean about unnecessary high abv beers. I was looking through BeerSmith for a DuPont Saison for interest only. Next thing I come along this.

Saison DuPont is around 6.5%abv from memory. And this guy does this to it ha ha ha it’s completely laughable at nearly 14%0797A77A-28F1-4CCF-B8AB-3DB6C64CD346.thumb.png.d8b08c1c0df023597ea4c0c840bfe9ed.png

Rant over

Did you get a lot of melon? I did and I hate nearly all types of melons

I got lots of stonefruit, watermelon and candied type flavor, I really like el dorado but I guess every batch is different. Grabbed 1kg of it awhile ago on sale for like 50 bucks so alot of my beers have had ample amounts of it thrown in.

El dorado is on my list to try. What other hop do you think would go well with it?? 

Cheers

on my third aussie pale.... such lovely warm weather here today. 28° at the moment.

Knocked off 4 hours of uni assignments so I deserve it. Home made pizzas for dinner, what could be better?

Good work Ben. It used to take me 4 days to do 4 hours work on uni assignments. I like learning but I hated assignments.

Perhaps I should have started drinking beforehand rather than afterwards.

Stupid. Totally out of style. And he most likely wouldnt get to 14% anyway. The yeast probably wont handle that ABV.

Yep, certainly is and yeah I don’t think he’d get anywhere near that however regardless I just find it utterly flabbergasting that people just make high abv for high abv sake.

To style I understand, but not like this.

Reminds me of throwing a shitload of fruity/citrusy hops at every beer trying to get a pale ale/IPA like hop presence even when it doesn't suit the style at all. Stupid. Maybe I'm a bit old school but if I'm brewing a dark ale/porter/stout I'm brewing it for the malt driven flavor, not to make a different colored pale ale.

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Opened the first of my Pale Ale (Attempt #2) and it is a perfectly drinkable beer! Definitely some hop aroma from the Citra dry hop. Quite cloudy but not fussed too much by that. Decent carbonation level. VERY EXCITED! Kinda wishing I had put more than one in the fridge now!!!
