Polar Brew

Well we might think that we are all that, but I shiver at the thought of what these Yanks are doing in Wisconsin.
You gotta say they are all guts.

haha, I love that the garden hose is coming out of the lake. This video also reminded me of the time I left my grain in the car overnight, then mashed in as usual ... learned me to pay attention to grain temperature. I wound up about 10 degrees below what I expected. pain in the ass to get it up to the right temp.

I seen a thread on hbt before where a guy made a brew out of melted ice berg , come to think of it he was from nfld
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Probably not like I did. And don't flame me for the Corona bottles. I used to bottle all my beer in them. :lol:
This is the Ice Berg ice melting. I just had enough to do a full 5 gallon batch including the gallon starter I made
once it melted. And it took almost 5 days to melt on it's own.

And then I found this in the related videos...


Snowdown in Durango, Colorado when locals go mad and things just aren't right in never never land. Carver's brew pub holds the Polar Beer Plunge, filling a kiddie pool with 750 gallons of brew and offers prizes encouraging the natives to don costumes and leap in. Madness ensues and there is much freezing of parts.
:stupid:
