Fledgling Brewist Seeks Collaboration- Hydrostone

[Christofaun]

New to this forum! It's a pleasure.


Looking for brewing partner and critical palate, interested in recipe development.

Attention to detail and high standard a must.


No discriminations as far as style. Except maybe milds. No milds.


I've been ambitiously brewing solo for a year, have kind of plateaued and am looking to up my game. Collaboration seems the next logical step.

If you are in a similar situation drop me a line.


Alternately, if you are brewing Yoda and looking for someone to share your knowledge with, drop me a line.

All grain only, please.


'Best!

Lots of people on the board that can help you out with recipe development and brewing techniques. What type of brewer are you? All grain, extract, etc? We also have meetings every month where you can bring your beer and bjcp judges can give you feedback.

There are a few of us in the North End of Hfx. I don't meat your requirements but a co-brew or shared brew would be fun.

I love Milds.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by critical palate, but I've used the following rating system over my extensive amateur beer tasting career:

5 - Amazing (Best)
4 - Awesome
3 - Pretty Good
2 - Good
1 - Not Good But I'll Drink it Anyway
0 - Are you sure this isn't urine?

haha awesome. You sir have made my signature

[Keith]

oh and Welcome. You should find lots of help on here. Myself I'm just moving into partial grain. So I'm still wet behind the ears.

[Jayme]

Welcome!

I'm also fairly near by. My roommate and both went through the bcjp stuff (rank pending) and can certainly give you opinions on any beers you're not sure about!

I'm flattered you think that was signature worthy. Thank you!

[GuingesRock]

Damn! I wanted it. Would you take it into -1 to -5 territory for us please when you get a chance?

I'm on it...

[Keith]

I don't think you can beat are you sure this isn't urine

[GuingesRock]

I don't think you can beat are you sure this isn't urine

Um! How about this:

5 - Amazing (Best)
4 - Awesome
3 - Pretty Good
2 - Good
1 - Not Good But I'll Drink it Anyway
0 – Tastes like piss!

I still want to see Bluenose take this into really negative territory.

Christofaun has to be the judge of this little competition, since it’s his thread, and we are all applying for the job of brewing partner.

The winner gets to brew with him for the day. I’m in, and hoping to win! It would be fun! (seriously)

While that is amusing, your signature now takes up more than half of my computer screen.

I was going to take the more subtle route of seeing if jimmy could add an option to hide signatures

[Keith]

lol fixed.

[bluenose]

I still want to see Bluenose take this into really negative territory.

I've decided that I don't want to glamorize crappy and disgusting beers by giving them equal weighting as good and great beers. If your beer gets a 0 it means I couldn't even finish it, and there haven't been many beers that I couldn't at least finish.

As a consolation, here's a comment I had for Keith's Cascade Ale which is probably a 1 for me, but it could've been a skunked can:

Dear Keiths,

your one hop series is an insult to beer and a waste of perfectly good ingredients. The only reason I'm going to finish it is because I paid perfectly good money for it. I would rather gargle a monkey shart. I think that's it... no wait, your mother's fat!

Sincerely,

Me

[Christofaun]

Well, so far this forum gets a 5 on this newfangled scale of yours.

For me critical just means you're able to make informed observations about the strengths and weaknesses of a brew, considering not only your personal taste but also what is generally agreed upon as being well brewed. It's also being capable of healthy criticism for whatever you do, or what someone else does and an important part of improving.

I uh, kind of just want to brew with everyone. Is there a lot of home brew trading that goes on? Is that what happens at these meetings?

Also, What's BCJP?

[derek]

I'm with Sandy. I like milds, but mild is hard! I've made dozens of beers that I've been happy with, but I've never been really happy with my milds

[derek]

So I'm still wet behind the ears.

That, of course, is how you mash.

[Christofaun]

I'd love to taste a mild that would turn me onto the style. What can I say? I'm just not mild about them.
