CAPE Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Actually I think he said the Pacific looks awful. And if by awful, he really means "chaotic" I would probably agree right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Expect snow then 90 then snow then 90 then dry then wet then windy then calm then sun then clouds. This will occur daily it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, based on my snow predictions, which mean nothing of course, your neck of the woods would see about 25". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Are rooms available in the panic room this season? With the good teleconnections showing up next 7-12 days (at least), vacancies could diminish quickly if we waste the pattern then December flops on us. Hope springs eternal attm but panic whiplash potential is running high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Thanksgiving dinner prep starts tomorrow. Making cranberry sauce and getting the scalloped potatoes into the Pyrex dish. Turkey is in the fridge and we’re heading to the store tomorrow for all the other fixins! Meanwhile, I’m enjoying my first Backwoods Bastard of the season this evening...

Stormpc Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Matty, I'm about to crack open a Hardywood Gingerbread stout. Grabbed one earlier at grocery store. I saw you post earlier maybe yesterday that you would save a few for a few years. Wouldn't it be skunked out by then? Please educate me. What are the benefits of holding on to that for so long? Edit: Wow!! What a fantastic tasting beer. I'm gonna grab some more tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Midwest getting waterboarded by yet ANOTHER MASSIVE RAINSTORM!!!! I am not surprised. We will get a weak cold front Sat night. We will be damned lucky to get a nanometer of rain from it, then next week will be seasonable and DRY. The Midwest will see much much above normal rainfall, then much much above normal snowfall. This is to be expected from a weak La Nina. We of course, will average drier than usual. I will cry for a little rain but will be denied over and over and over again.

Edit: Wow!! What a fantastic tasting beer. I'm gonna grab some more tomorrow. GBS is the local beer-geek’s sign that the Holiday Season is upon us. It a fantastic beer. I’m glad you picked up some! GBS has become much more readily available over the last few years, though many of the GBS variants (six of them this year, I think) are still tough to find unless you’re hunting for them. Beer - and more specifically high-alcohol, minimally hopped beer- that’s packaged properly won’t skunk*. Over time, it’ll eventually show signs of being oxidized, which would result in muted, cardboard-like flavors. A well-packaged big stout will last for five years or more, although beers with flavoring adjuncts (ingredients that aren’t grains, hops, water, or yeast) like GBS will tend to fall off in a couple years. That said, barrel-aged beers will often get better with time, although barrel-aged adjunct beers (like Bourbon Barrel GBS) will lose some of the adjunct aspect over a couple years, but the barrel will result in the beer taking on really interesting (usually better) flavors over those few years. * Skunking is the result of a photochemical reaction between hops and sunlight. Brown bottles help to forestall this reaction, but it can only work for so long. The “distinctive” flavor of Corona is from the fact that it’s highly skunked! Warm or extended storage doesn’t cause skunking, nor does going from cold to warm to cold, etc. Warm storage can cause hops in beers like IPAs to lose their punch, though. You may well have opened a can of worms with a seemingly innocuous post asking a beer geek to explain some of the science of making beer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
