Title: The greatest bike skill ever.
Post by: bargovic on September 06, 2006, 03:22:27 PM
This is by far the best moto skill i have learned since i started riding last year.  And im sure i will perfect it as time goes on thru repetition. What better way to celebrate my 1 year anniversary with the GS!

Oh, no!  *averts eyes*

Not only Yuengling, but Yuengling light?  Why do you hate your tastebuds?  :icon_mrgreen:

Just don't be doing both at the same time.

I don't like light beer because it has very little taste.  It's like drinking Perrier.  It's not impossible to make a drinkable light beer.  Samuel Adams did it.  However, Yuengling is barely tolerable, and the Light is bad.  Not as bad as Bud Light or Miller Light, but still bad.

Even worse than that...   Caffeine Free, Diet, Lite, Non-Carbonated, room temperature beer.

How about regular non-carbonated room-temperature beer?  I have some of that.  My last batch of homebrew didn't ferment inside the bottle very well, so it's pretty flat.

As far as light beer--Yuengling light is a good beer. Tastes like beer, not water  :cheers:

Light beer has its place. That place is in funnels when shotgunning. Those of us who are professional binge drinkers have learned to embrace the lightness of cheap beer along with its low price point. Keystone, yum.

Of course, at the moment I'm going classy with one of these

No, the worst beer is the "homebrew" I made from a kit given to me by my mom.  It's the one that they sell at Wal-Mart during the holidays.  It was extremely low in alcohol, and tasted like someone had dropped a cigarette butt in it.  That last part was suggested by a blind person that tasted who has had that experience.  I was thinking wet cardboard, but cigarette butt works too.

While I doubt the Mr Beer kits are good, it sounds like this was a problem with the brewer, not the brewkit.  A "wet cardboard" taste  is a common product of oxidation.  Be careful when racking.  :thumb:

That said, Bargovic knows my views on light beer.  :)

That's what I figured out later, but that only accounts for the wet cardboard taste.  It was a bad recipe anyway.  It was just powdered malt extract and dextrose.  No whole grain at all.  It would have been bad even without the oxidation. 

Oh, and it hit me the other day as to the most likely reason why my most recent batch didn't ferment correctly.  I failed to rinse the bottles with clean water after sterilization so they had a small amount of bleach in them. 

P.S.  Careless racking results in bacterial contamination, not oxidation. :)

I agree the beer would probably suck with those kits.

Not trying to be picky but you really shouldn't use bleach for cleaning anything that you are going to use beer with.  Use iodopher for sterilization, it's really cheap and it last a really long time.  2 capfuls per 5 gallons.

P.S. Careless racking does result in oxidation, along with infections.  No splashing allowed.
