WEBVTT

00:00:02.518 --> 00:00:03.658
<v Shannon>And it's the 14th, you know?

00:00:09.864 --> 00:00:16.348
<v Greg>Welcome to Crafty Radio, episode 514, on October 14th, 2023.

00:00:18.610 --> 00:00:22.293
<v Jeff>We hope all of you survived Friday the 13th and weren't ax murdered,

00:00:22.293 --> 00:00:24.895
<v Jeff>because that's a bad day.

00:00:26.857 --> 00:00:30.299
<v Greg>That would be bad. Yeah, that would be bad. Thank you to Marty for recommending

00:00:30.299 --> 00:00:33.101
<v Greg>Vulpac. This is animal spirits from Vulpac.

00:00:33.342 --> 00:00:37.304
<v Jeff>All right, I'm going to pour this one first because I know we're not going to

00:00:37.304 --> 00:00:39.205
<v Jeff>drink the whole thing. So. Okay, cool.

00:00:40.927 --> 00:00:44.609
<v Greg>So you're going to start with something from Founders Brewing Company.

00:00:45.130 --> 00:00:52.995
<v Greg>This is their French Toast Bastard, which is their backwards bastard with the

00:00:52.995 --> 00:00:57.438
<v Greg>breakfast treatment they say. 11.1% alcohol by volume.

00:00:57.438 --> 00:00:57.519
<v Shannon>11.1%.

00:00:57.519 --> 00:01:00.441
<v Greg>Alcohol by volume, 50 IBU.

00:01:01.322 --> 00:01:05.584
<v Jeff>But it's really, it's just all about that first impression with this beer.

00:01:06.526 --> 00:01:10.208
<v Greg>Okay, aged in oak bourbon barrels with vanilla extract, cinnamon, and maple extract.

00:01:12.730 --> 00:01:16.513
<v Jeff>Yeah, so they have like, I forget what the original one's called,

00:01:16.513 --> 00:01:19.875
<v Jeff>but they had a Scotch Ale Bastard, or Old Bastard or something,

00:01:19.875 --> 00:01:23.899
<v Jeff>and then Backwoods Bastard was the bourbon barrel version.

00:01:24.740 --> 00:01:28.682
<v Jeff>And now because of flavors, they made a French toast version of it.

00:01:28.682 --> 00:01:33.106
<v Shannon>Smells so breakfasty.

00:01:33.106 --> 00:01:35.227
<v Greg>It smells like Aunt Jemima.

00:01:37.069 --> 00:01:43.834
<v Jeff>It smells like, to me it smells like if you're making like French toast flavored

00:01:43.834 --> 00:01:48.019
<v Jeff>candies, you know, like where, you know, like a hard candy that you suck on,

00:01:48.019 --> 00:01:49.662
<v Jeff>but it's like- Like a butterscotch candy.

00:01:49.662 --> 00:01:52.665
<v Jeff>Or maybe French toast jelly bellies, you know, that kind of thing.

00:01:53.347 --> 00:01:58.174
<v Greg>It does have a lot of like, I don't know if artificial, but definitely a lot

00:01:58.174 --> 00:01:59.174
<v Greg>of vanilla extract aroma.

00:02:07.351 --> 00:02:09.192
<v Jeff>Mm-hmm Sweet very very sweet.

00:02:09.192 --> 00:02:12.254
<v Greg>I know what I would expect as much.

00:02:12.254 --> 00:02:18.499
<v Greg>Yeah But why incur the cost of putting it in bourbon barrels is my main question

00:02:18.499 --> 00:02:25.144
<v Greg>If you're gonna mask it with so much flavor To make it a whale,

00:02:25.144 --> 00:02:30.108
<v Greg>you know, yeah, I suppose But yeah,

00:02:30.108 --> 00:02:36.852
<v Greg>this is kind of like let's turn everything up to 11 and Then add some extra

00:02:36.852 --> 00:02:42.996
<v Greg>things to it and also make sure those are Overboard as well. Mm-hmm. Why not?

00:02:42.996 --> 00:02:48.900
<v Jeff>Yeah, just add peppermint extract, too Yeah, it's it's just yeah,

00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:55.685
<v Jeff>it's a thing and that's about all it is Shannon picked up a four pack of this

00:02:55.685 --> 00:02:57.306
<v Jeff>before we're maker camp.

00:02:57.727 --> 00:03:06.633
<v Jeff>She also picked up a case of Southern tears harvest IPA You figure a seasonal

00:03:06.633 --> 00:03:12.497
<v Jeff>beer, easy peasy, freshy, it was from last year. Oh, wow.

00:03:13.178 --> 00:03:15.360
<v Jeff>It was best by January 1st, 2023.

00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:24.287
<v Shannon>Which didn't say that on the box, it said it on the bottles inside the box. Telling you.

00:03:24.287 --> 00:03:27.950
<v Greg>Do you get a circus peanuts flavor from here? Because I think it's just the

00:03:27.950 --> 00:03:31.993
<v Greg>over sweetness. It's just like sugar. Mm-hmm. So,

00:03:34.425 --> 00:03:35.015
<v Greg>much.

00:03:38.278 --> 00:03:40.960
<v Jeff>It's been so long since I've had circus peanuts. Maybe a little bit,

00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.161
<v Jeff>yeah. It's just over sweet.

00:03:43.161 --> 00:03:52.088
<v Greg>It's just like, sweet, too sweet. Yeah. It's just not enjoyable because it's,

00:03:52.088 --> 00:03:57.105
<v Greg>It's fun for like a sip or two, but after that it's just like, okay.

00:03:57.105 --> 00:03:57.887
<v Shannon>It's too artificially.

00:04:00.743 --> 00:04:03.685
<v Shannon>Artificially. Too artificially made.

00:04:03.685 --> 00:04:08.309
<v Jeff>Artificialiciousness.

00:04:08.309 --> 00:04:08.649
<v Shannon>Yeah.

00:04:08.649 --> 00:04:12.512
<v Greg>Artifician bitch.

00:04:12.512 --> 00:04:13.833
<v Shannon>Oh, we don't have a...

00:04:13.833 --> 00:04:18.176
<v Jeff>A dump bucket? I still gotta find the Craft Beer Radio dump bucket. I know we have it.

00:04:18.176 --> 00:04:19.458
<v Shannon>There's...

00:04:19.458 --> 00:04:24.781
<v Jeff>What I'm saying, the official Craft Beer Radio dump bucket. I know I moved it here.

00:04:24.781 --> 00:04:33.828
<v Greg>It must be here. here. So, um, while we're clinging and the thing is the AI

00:04:33.828 --> 00:04:39.192
<v Greg>will probably completely get some of these out. It's a, it's a dump bowl.

00:04:39.192 --> 00:04:41.534
<v Shannon>That's big.

00:04:41.534 --> 00:04:42.535
<v Jeff>Just dump it.

00:04:42.535 --> 00:04:43.635
<v Greg>Dump it. Dump.

00:04:44.757 --> 00:04:49.199
<v Jeff>And we can, it's a nice, it's a nice mixing bowl. We can mix that beer into something later.

00:04:52.142 --> 00:04:54.804
<v Jeff>Pancakes Exactly All right. So I,

00:04:55.335 --> 00:05:01.769
<v Jeff>I wanted Greg to experience the the thing it has been experienced And now let's

00:05:01.769 --> 00:05:08.945
<v Jeff>go on to this prison city farmhouse sale That's switching Everything's a switch.

00:05:08.945 --> 00:05:10.116
<v Jeff>Do you want to do the other?

00:05:10.696 --> 00:05:13.979
<v Jeff>Imperial stuff no no no no Well, you gotta go.

00:05:13.979 --> 00:05:17.581
<v Shannon>Oh, that's what I had next on my list. No, it's not really true.

00:05:18.743 --> 00:05:25.707
<v Greg>That's fine Okay, so you're heading up all the way to prison city with the capital

00:05:25.707 --> 00:05:29.208
<v Greg>P and that rhymes with P and that stands for Paul.

00:05:29.208 --> 00:05:33.212
<v Shannon>Yes.

00:05:33.212 --> 00:05:39.015
<v Greg>This is Northern Lights, a farmhouse ale, Sutter aged mixed fermentation farmhouse

00:05:39.015 --> 00:05:42.017
<v Greg>beer with noble hops, tetananger in fact.

00:05:44.659 --> 00:05:45.740
<v Greg>Uh, 5.3% alcohol by volume.

00:05:49.162 --> 00:05:53.085
<v Jeff>Here, let me get all the glasses so I can try to not have stratification.

00:05:57.509 --> 00:06:02.993
<v Shannon>So, so Shannon, what have you been doing lately? What have I been doing lately?

00:06:02.993 --> 00:06:06.336
<v Jeff>Well, I'm pouring this beer. You might as well regale us with a story.

00:06:06.336 --> 00:06:11.470
<v Shannon>Oh, well, I recently learned how to power carve.

00:06:12.200 --> 00:06:13.041
<v Greg>Power carve.

00:06:13.481 --> 00:06:14.322
<v Shannon>Power carve.

00:06:14.482 --> 00:06:15.403
<v Jeff>What is power carve?

00:06:15.403 --> 00:06:18.786
<v Greg>Is that like carving a power wheels?

00:06:21.288 --> 00:06:24.810
<v Greg>Or carving with power, like a power glove, like a Nintendo power glove?

00:06:24.810 --> 00:06:34.098
<v Shannon>No, it's carving with a Dremel tool and making beautiful, or not so beautiful

00:06:34.098 --> 00:06:39.222
<v Shannon>in my case, wood objects, like a spoon.

00:06:39.642 --> 00:06:47.730
<v Shannon>I made a spoon and today I worked on a piece of cherry wood,

00:06:47.730 --> 00:06:52.094
<v Shannon>right, and carved some mountains into it.

00:06:55.140 --> 00:06:58.603
<v Greg>I do remember in my woodshop class starting with a piece of wood and ending

00:06:58.603 --> 00:07:01.055
<v Greg>with a piece of wood. So I did accomplish.

00:07:03.006 --> 00:07:07.970
<v Jeff>Woodshop is turning one kind of piece of wood into a slightly different piece of wood.

00:07:07.970 --> 00:07:10.111
<v Greg>Yep. But what makes it power carving?

00:07:11.732 --> 00:07:17.656
<v Jeff>Instead of whittling with a knife or a gouge or something like that, it's a tool.

00:07:18.077 --> 00:07:23.501
<v Jeff>So we We have a couple of different size tools. We have a Dremel,

00:07:23.501 --> 00:07:30.286
<v Jeff>which does smaller fine detail stuff. But then we also got these carving discs for an angle grinder.

00:07:30.747 --> 00:07:36.571
<v Jeff>And that's like pretty aggressive, like makes sawdust fly everywhere and kind

00:07:36.571 --> 00:07:39.153
<v Jeff>of a little bit of adrenaline pumping.

00:07:40.354 --> 00:07:46.159
<v Jeff>And yeah, so she, we just got those things in the mail yesterday.

00:07:47.960 --> 00:07:53.745
<v Jeff>So just getting started and I had to do a couple of repairs on the angle grinder

00:07:53.745 --> 00:07:55.966
<v Jeff>so it was safer for doing something.

00:07:55.966 --> 00:08:00.390
<v Greg>Before we get too far into it, but it's like, what's a big scissor thing called?

00:08:00.390 --> 00:08:00.770
<v Jeff>Shears.

00:08:00.770 --> 00:08:07.676
<v Greg>Shears. So it's like shears versus like an electric hedge trimmer. Yeah.

00:08:07.676 --> 00:08:11.939
<v Jeff>But so yeah, you just have these, you should, I'm not going to go get it,

00:08:11.939 --> 00:08:16.382
<v Jeff>but the kind of, there's a couple, two brands that are really popular right

00:08:16.382 --> 00:08:17.863
<v Jeff>now in these kinds of power carving things.

00:08:17.863 --> 00:08:22.406
<v Jeff>There's one called cut saw and one called saber tooth because there's burrs on it.

00:08:22.406 --> 00:08:28.610
<v Jeff>So it's C S A B U R R. Get it? It's funny. Saber tooth was at the maker camp

00:08:28.610 --> 00:08:35.895
<v Jeff>that we went to. They had this big table set up with the little kind of Dremel stuff you could use.

00:08:37.236 --> 00:08:42.159
<v Jeff>But the, when you put it on an angle grinder, it looks like this just giant

00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:47.166
<v Jeff>spiked wheel of death that you're or like cutting one out. It's a pretty, it's a thing.

00:08:47.727 --> 00:08:51.953
<v Shannon>It's a little intimidating, but it's also exhilarating. And.

00:08:54.559 --> 00:09:00.163
<v Shannon>Really fun to be glittered up with Sawdust from head to toe.

00:09:00.163 --> 00:09:07.468
<v Jeff>I didn't wash all of the French toast I mean, oh no, but look I can't smell

00:09:07.468 --> 00:09:08.769
<v Jeff>this beer. I smell French toast.

00:09:08.769 --> 00:09:16.355
<v Greg>Oh That's too bad because I smell this beer. Yeah, it's not as nice a weedy Weed ish and lemony.

00:09:16.595 --> 00:09:23.401
<v Jeff>I even poured water into mine and drank it, but I still smell That damn last

00:09:23.401 --> 00:09:27.774
<v Jeff>beer What are you doing Cooper he threw up or something?

00:09:29.826 --> 00:09:32.888
<v Shannon>Yeah No, he's eating it get out here. Hey,

00:09:32.888 --> 00:09:43.737
<v Shannon>oh boy That's that's for Jeff I can't do it cuz I'll lose mine too and then he eats it too,

00:09:43.737 --> 00:09:49.081
<v Shannon>so that's a Exciting so he likes to clean up after himself.

00:09:51.683 --> 00:09:57.768
<v Greg>Hmm Let's talk about this beer while Jeff is, uh, I don't know, did you pause it?

00:09:57.768 --> 00:10:03.872
<v Shannon>Cause you can pause it, you know? Yeah. We could pause it.

00:10:03.872 --> 00:10:06.014
<v Jeff>Yeah, we should. I would have definitely. All right, we're back.

00:10:06.014 --> 00:10:08.346
<v Jeff>First time the show has ever been delayed by dog puke.

00:10:09.257 --> 00:10:12.759
<v Shannon>Thank you, Cooper. Don't do it again.

00:10:12.880 --> 00:10:15.563
<v Jeff>I was trying to lick up whatever I didn't wipe up, idiot.

00:10:19.409 --> 00:10:21.291
<v Greg>So, the flavor of this beer is...

00:10:23.553 --> 00:10:28.877
<v Greg>Oh, it's a farmhouse. It's got a little bit of a bread thing there.

00:10:28.877 --> 00:10:30.298
<v Greg>It's got a little bit of that dustiness.

00:10:31.819 --> 00:10:32.380
<v Greg>Yeah, dusty.

00:10:35.022 --> 00:10:39.505
<v Greg>After the last one, it's an overwhelming amount of like flavor.

00:10:39.505 --> 00:10:41.627
<v Greg>This is much more subtle.

00:10:42.508 --> 00:10:45.510
<v Greg>So getting my tongue sort of used to it. And also I think it's a little cold.

00:10:47.652 --> 00:10:53.176
<v Greg>So I can bring out one of my first little things here. Uh, you know, Vsauce.

00:10:53.176 --> 00:10:53.896
<v Jeff>Yes.

00:10:53.896 --> 00:10:55.097
<v Greg>Do you know of Vsauce?

00:10:55.097 --> 00:10:59.541
<v Jeff>He's a YouTuber, science YouTubers that we watch, but he doesn't put out too

00:10:59.541 --> 00:11:01.402
<v Jeff>many videos, so we haven't watched him lately.

00:11:01.863 --> 00:11:05.165
<v Greg>But he does have this subscription thing, this curiosity box,

00:11:05.165 --> 00:11:07.547
<v Greg>which is a bunch of science toys. And that's kind of right up my alley.

00:11:07.947 --> 00:11:11.610
<v Greg>So this came in the newest curiosity box.

00:11:12.611 --> 00:11:16.734
<v Greg>This is a denary dice set. A denary is a, is a group of 10.

00:11:17.695 --> 00:11:22.558
<v Greg>So these are 10 dice of all different sizes.

00:11:22.558 --> 00:11:26.681
<v Jeff>Oh, okay. So I've seen like his shorts where like he was rolling like the one-sided

00:11:26.681 --> 00:11:29.243
<v Jeff>dice. Yeah. You know, so like first off, someone's going to like,

00:11:29.243 --> 00:11:31.044
<v Jeff>how do you have a one-sided dice?

00:11:31.425 --> 00:11:36.208
<v Greg>And here it is. It's a, basically it's a cylinder with sort of tapered ends.

00:11:36.208 --> 00:11:39.290
<v Greg>And if you roll it, it will always come up as a one.

00:11:39.851 --> 00:11:41.592
<v Shannon>These would be fun to carve.

00:11:43.093 --> 00:11:47.436
<v Greg>You could totally do this. You're supposed to be like guaranteed to be as fair as possible to so.

00:11:47.937 --> 00:11:48.917
<v Shannon>Guaranteed to be what?

00:11:48.917 --> 00:11:50.158
<v Greg>As fair as possible.

00:11:50.158 --> 00:11:50.739
<v Shannon>Oh, really?

00:11:50.739 --> 00:11:54.221
<v Greg>So that one should 100% of the time to be a one. Really?

00:11:54.221 --> 00:11:57.003
<v Shannon>Yeah, go for it, roll,

00:11:59.355 --> 00:12:00.326
<v Shannon>it. All right.

00:12:03.168 --> 00:12:04.309
<v Jeff>It came up as a one.

00:12:04.309 --> 00:12:05.649
<v Shannon>It's a one. It's a one.

00:12:07.411 --> 00:12:10.793
<v Greg>Yeah, the interesting ones are the ones that are not like the botanics I was used to.

00:12:14.558 --> 00:12:18.419
<v Jeff>Yeah, so like this one that rules a five, five-sided dice, how would you do

00:12:18.419 --> 00:12:20.420
<v Jeff>this, right? So this one's interesting.

00:12:21.121 --> 00:12:24.523
<v Jeff>And making this one fair is also interesting, right? Yes. All right,

00:12:24.523 --> 00:12:27.205
<v Jeff>so let's, I want to talk about the five-sided dice real quick.

00:12:27.205 --> 00:12:31.167
<v Jeff>All right, let's do it. Five-sided dice is a equilateral triangle cylinder, right?

00:12:33.590 --> 00:12:36.612
<v Jeff>So it's, if you look down from the top, it's an equilateral triangle,

00:12:36.612 --> 00:12:43.737
<v Jeff>but then it's extruded up and it's how far that extrusion is,

00:12:43.737 --> 00:12:48.940
<v Jeff>is probably very important to make this thing probabilistically fair, right?

00:12:49.501 --> 00:12:53.343
<v Jeff>Because you don't want it to land on its faces more than it lands on one of its edges.

00:12:53.343 --> 00:12:58.787
<v Jeff>If it lands on one of its edges, there's three edges and the numbers are carved

00:12:58.787 --> 00:13:02.750
<v Jeff>near the points. So whatever point is pointing up is the number that it gets.

00:13:02.750 --> 00:13:08.191
<v Jeff>But yeah, this is crazy that, you know, it's just as, it's twice as likely to land.

00:13:12.606 --> 00:13:16.969
<v Jeff>Three to two is likely to land on its edge versus its face, which.

00:13:18.470 --> 00:13:20.572
<v Jeff>From its shape, seems like it should be the opposite.

00:13:20.572 --> 00:13:21.212
<v Shannon>Yeah, yeah.

00:13:21.973 --> 00:13:24.935
<v Greg>But yeah, it has to do, like you said, with the extrusion and how much that

00:13:24.935 --> 00:13:28.017
<v Greg>is. And they mathematically figured out the deal.

00:13:28.378 --> 00:13:33.561
<v Greg>And that's I just rolled a five. I just rolled a three and I just rolled a one

00:13:33.561 --> 00:13:38.784
<v Greg>and I just rolled a one, a four. So, I mean, yeah, like it's.

00:13:40.746 --> 00:13:44.549
<v Jeff>That's really neat to me. Okay. So six sided dice. That's amazing.

00:13:46.070 --> 00:13:49.172
<v Greg>Never heard of that before. I like the three sided die too. Oh yeah.

00:13:50.433 --> 00:13:53.855
<v Jeff>The three sided die. I mean, it's kind of what you, I would have expected.

00:13:54.256 --> 00:14:00.020
<v Jeff>It's kind of a, take some, take some clay, roll it into a coil,

00:14:00.020 --> 00:14:04.523
<v Jeff>like a tube, and then just put three flat indentions on it.

00:14:05.044 --> 00:14:11.769
<v Jeff>And then the number is what side points up. So it's, So the numbers are on like the, the apexes of it.

00:14:11.769 --> 00:14:12.189
<v Greg>Yeah.

00:14:12.189 --> 00:14:18.594
<v Jeff>All right. So seven takes the same strategy as five where it's a Pentagon that's

00:14:18.594 --> 00:14:25.379
<v Jeff>extruded the right amount to make it have the right probability of landing on its face or its edge.

00:14:28.302 --> 00:14:33.385
<v Jeff>Actually, no, you want it to land on its edge five to two.

00:14:34.427 --> 00:14:39.450
<v Jeff>So you want it to, that's why it's, that's why it's taller. and the faces are smaller.

00:14:40.330 --> 00:14:45.854
<v Jeff>That's neat. Okay. I've seen eight sided dice before and nine sided.

00:14:48.496 --> 00:14:52.838
<v Greg>Similar, but it's now a, it's a, is it a heptagon?

00:14:52.838 --> 00:14:57.321
<v Jeff>Septagon. Seven sided, which isn't a shape you see every day.

00:14:58.062 --> 00:14:59.543
<v Greg>Yeah, I guess it is a septagon. Yeah.

00:15:04.446 --> 00:15:07.528
<v Jeff>And then the 10 sided dice. What does that one look like?

00:15:07.528 --> 00:15:09.710
<v Shannon>I'm busy trying to put this in the car.

00:15:09.710 --> 00:15:12.852
<v Greg>I've seen ten-sided die before, so it's just, it's two, um...

00:15:14.373 --> 00:15:15.054
<v Jeff>Five-sided domes?

00:15:15.454 --> 00:15:19.157
<v Greg>Like, yeah, two, uh... They're offset.

00:15:19.157 --> 00:15:20.498
<v Jeff>Yeah.

00:15:20.498 --> 00:15:21.938
<v Greg>But it's two five-sided, yeah.

00:15:22.339 --> 00:15:25.801
<v Jeff>Five-sided pyramids kind of put together. That's cool.

00:15:26.302 --> 00:15:28.843
<v Jeff>Yeah, the ones you normally don't see, the five and the seven,

00:15:28.843 --> 00:15:30.844
<v Jeff>are the ones that are pretty neat.

00:15:32.186 --> 00:15:33.607
<v Greg>Well, the ten, natural ten.

00:15:33.607 --> 00:15:35.369
<v Shannon>Whoop.

00:15:35.369 --> 00:15:40.032
<v Greg>Then a one natural one. So critical success and a critical failure.

00:15:42.454 --> 00:15:43.694
<v Shannon>Yeah, that's really neat.

00:15:43.694 --> 00:15:49.359
<v Greg>Yeah. So it's like, I don't know if you're ever going to use,

00:15:49.359 --> 00:15:54.082
<v Greg>I remember going to use them, but it is a cool, like little piece of, Hey, isn't that neat?

00:15:55.023 --> 00:15:58.305
<v Shannon>And that's kind of the, so you get something like once a month,

00:15:58.305 --> 00:16:00.107
<v Shannon>it's once every three months.

00:16:01.471 --> 00:16:04.835
<v Greg>So, and this is one of the things that came in it and this is the coolest thing

00:16:04.835 --> 00:16:07.557
<v Greg>I love the stuff the game and I think, but yeah, it's neat.

00:16:07.557 --> 00:16:07.857
<v Jeff>That's,

00:16:10.244 --> 00:16:10.604
<v Jeff>cool.

00:16:14.302 --> 00:16:16.304
<v Jeff>Now last week Shannon and I went

00:16:16.304 --> 00:16:20.687
<v Jeff>up to East Durham, New York to go to the Catskill Mountain Maker Camp.

00:16:20.687 --> 00:16:25.370
<v Jeff>And that was a bunch of fun. A friend of ours, Craig, who runs the Barefoot

00:16:25.370 --> 00:16:30.493
<v Jeff>Forge, kind of told us we should go and encouraged us to go. And we went.

00:16:31.334 --> 00:16:35.676
<v Jeff>And we went two days early and did hiking the first two days up in the Catskills.

00:16:36.258 --> 00:16:40.000
<v Jeff>Had some pretty nice hikes. And then the rest is Maker Camp,

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:43.622
<v Jeff>Friday, Saturday, Sunday, where they have a bunch of tents set up with with

00:16:43.622 --> 00:16:48.026
<v Jeff>different companies or individuals who are demonstrating things,

00:16:48.026 --> 00:16:50.718
<v Jeff>different classes, lots of hands-on stuff.

00:16:50.718 --> 00:16:55.191
<v Jeff>You could blacksmith, you can power carve, you can make- Make leather objects.

00:16:56.713 --> 00:17:01.136
<v Jeff>Oh yeah, there was leather work that was super popular. We could never get into

00:17:01.136 --> 00:17:03.338
<v Jeff>that one. Now there was a jewelry making area.

00:17:05.140 --> 00:17:08.602
<v Jeff>There was, you could make pens on a, make wooden pens on a lathe.

00:17:11.204 --> 00:17:14.306
<v Jeff>The one I need to get, the one I'm going to like get there early and try to

00:17:14.306 --> 00:17:18.870
<v Jeff>get into next year is there's this place where you make like axe handles and

00:17:18.870 --> 00:17:19.890
<v Jeff>hammer handles and stuff.

00:17:20.852 --> 00:17:25.254
<v Jeff>But manually, like with draw knives and these like benches that you sit on that

00:17:25.254 --> 00:17:29.218
<v Jeff>clamp them and things look like lots of fun. Yeah.

00:17:29.218 --> 00:17:32.680
<v Greg>They have like a knife sharpening thing you could train there?

00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:34.321
<v Greg>Because that would be a cool skill to have.

00:17:35.602 --> 00:17:36.423
<v Shannon>They did have.

00:17:37.744 --> 00:17:42.427
<v Jeff>Not so much skill, but yeah, they had a couple of the really good Tormek knife sharpeners.

00:17:43.348 --> 00:17:45.810
<v Jeff>So there were certain periods of time where you could bring your knives,

00:17:45.810 --> 00:17:47.711
<v Jeff>get them sharpened and stuff like that.

00:17:49.313 --> 00:17:53.856
<v Jeff>There was welding. There was welding, two welding areas. We got to TIG weld

00:17:53.856 --> 00:17:55.297
<v Jeff>a little bit. That was fun.

00:17:55.297 --> 00:17:57.159
<v Greg>That was a lot of fun. TIG weld, explain.

00:17:57.159 --> 00:18:00.761
<v Jeff>It has different, three main kinds of welding, right?

00:18:01.983 --> 00:18:06.316
<v Jeff>There's stick welding or arc welding, right? that looks like you have jumper

00:18:06.316 --> 00:18:10.710
<v Jeff>cables and in one jumper cable you put this big long stick, which is the electrode

00:18:10.710 --> 00:18:14.732
<v Jeff>that you put down on the metal, which has a ground to it and it arcs and melts the metal, right?

00:18:16.154 --> 00:18:22.599
<v Jeff>And then there's MIG welding, which is like the stick welding is like the old school thing.

00:18:23.040 --> 00:18:27.143
<v Jeff>MIG welding is the more popular, more modern thing where you have this little

00:18:27.143 --> 00:18:33.468
<v Jeff>gun and inside the gun there's this wire that feeds out and there's gas that

00:18:33.468 --> 00:18:37.751
<v Jeff>shields where the wire feeds out, so it doesn't oxidize, you get a cleaner weld.

00:18:39.092 --> 00:18:43.115
<v Jeff>So the wire comes out, it's positively charged, things grounded,

00:18:43.115 --> 00:18:49.420
<v Jeff>it arcs, deposits metal down, and then you have an argon gas mix that shields

00:18:49.420 --> 00:18:51.462
<v Jeff>the weld, so you get a cleaner weld.

00:18:52.222 --> 00:18:54.147
<v Shannon>Which we've both done in the past.

00:18:54.830 --> 00:18:57.013
<v Jeff>And then TIG welding is a more,

00:19:02.466 --> 00:19:08.150
<v Jeff>I mean, this is a gross generalization, but it's kind of a more fine-tuned,

00:19:08.150 --> 00:19:14.094
<v Jeff>detailed work kind of welding. It doesn't have to be, but in general, your first difference.

00:19:15.075 --> 00:19:21.159
<v Jeff>So you hold it more like a pencil and it has a tungsten electrode and it arcs

00:19:21.159 --> 00:19:25.221
<v Jeff>and you just kind of add feeder wire to it and you can use it to kind of melt

00:19:25.221 --> 00:19:27.103
<v Jeff>different pieces of metal together and stuff like that.

00:19:27.103 --> 00:19:31.245
<v Jeff>But it's really up and close, like your head's only like six inches from what

00:19:31.245 --> 00:19:35.729
<v Jeff>you're working on and like the distance of the electrode to what you're working

00:19:35.729 --> 00:19:38.551
<v Jeff>on, it's like a 64. I hope you're wearing good eye protection because. Oh yeah.

00:19:38.551 --> 00:19:39.552
<v Shannon>You have a welding mask on.

00:19:39.552 --> 00:19:43.675
<v Jeff>You have a welding mask on. It's, you do a blind, right? Like not instantly,

00:19:43.675 --> 00:19:48.379
<v Jeff>but within moments if you didn't have a darkening mask on. But anyway,

00:19:48.379 --> 00:19:52.592
<v Jeff>like you hold the thing, like you're working, like the arc's like a 64th of an inch long.

00:19:52.983 --> 00:19:58.187
<v Jeff>So you're really in there close and you're, you know, fine motor control kind of thing.

00:19:59.288 --> 00:20:00.348
<v Shannon>It's very challenging.

00:20:01.589 --> 00:20:05.771
<v Greg>So is the MIG welding kind of like, it sounded a little bit like vacuum welding a little bit?

00:20:07.453 --> 00:20:09.854
<v Jeff>It had that... Well, the TIG has argon gas too to shield it,

00:20:09.854 --> 00:20:11.295
<v Jeff>because otherwise you get all

00:20:11.295 --> 00:20:14.417
<v Jeff>kinds of oxidation and crud in your weld and it's not a very good weld.

00:20:14.417 --> 00:20:18.360
<v Jeff>So all the modern kinds of welding, like those,

00:20:18.360 --> 00:20:27.166
<v Jeff>have gases, shield gases, that flow out of your tool, the gun or the pen,

00:20:27.166 --> 00:20:32.910
<v Jeff>you know the cup and it just kind of flows over what you're welding so it keeps the oxygen away.

00:20:34.371 --> 00:20:41.775
<v Jeff>The stick welding, the stick is kind of coated in a solid flux and when the

00:20:41.775 --> 00:20:46.278
<v Jeff>arc it melts the flux and the flux makes the gas so that kind of you know so

00:20:46.278 --> 00:20:50.281
<v Jeff>whenever you're doing welding you always need something to shield oxygen away from the weld.

00:20:50.551 --> 00:20:53.483
<v Greg>I know that like vacuum building is something you have to worry about in space,

00:20:53.483 --> 00:20:57.586
<v Greg>because no oxidation layer.

00:20:58.286 --> 00:21:02.169
<v Greg>So essentially, the metal's a crystalline structure that then doesn't end.

00:21:02.509 --> 00:21:05.772
<v Greg>And when it joins to another piece of metal with no oxidation layer,

00:21:05.772 --> 00:21:09.655
<v Greg>there's no reason why those can't be joined.

00:21:10.195 --> 00:21:14.298
<v Greg>And so they are. And that has become a real problem when you're,

00:21:14.298 --> 00:21:16.880
<v Greg>especially when you have a satellite that let's say has to deploy something.

00:21:19.302 --> 00:21:24.906
<v Greg>And you know, they make them in clean rooms and you know, and then there's some

00:21:24.906 --> 00:21:28.690
<v Greg>piece that is, that hasn't been, doesn't have an oxide layer.

00:21:29.131 --> 00:21:33.096
<v Greg>And suddenly another piece of metal attaches to it, maybe doesn't have an oxide

00:21:33.096 --> 00:21:36.600
<v Greg>layer and suddenly you have now a joint piece of metal that wasn't,

00:21:36.600 --> 00:21:41.546
<v Greg>that shouldn't have been there before. Vacuum welding.

00:21:43.281 --> 00:21:48.705
<v Jeff>Oh, you mean just the vacuum, not adding, like, not melting the things together.

00:21:48.705 --> 00:21:53.329
<v Greg>Yeah, there's no, it's just the fact that now you have two surfaces,

00:21:53.329 --> 00:21:59.614
<v Greg>what were surfaces, but now are joined together and the crystalline structure

00:21:59.614 --> 00:22:05.138
<v Greg>is the same, and there's no oxide layer to protect, to differentiate.

00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:09.562
<v Greg>So once those two pieces of crystal are together...

00:22:09.562 --> 00:22:13.905
<v Jeff>So they kind of heal together. Yeah. That's wild.

00:22:13.905 --> 00:22:16.046
<v Jeff>I didn't know about that. When you're talking about vacuum welding,

00:22:16.046 --> 00:22:21.310
<v Jeff>I thought it was about like having a welder using an arc to melt the metal,

00:22:21.310 --> 00:22:27.555
<v Jeff>but doing it in a vacuum, which doing it in a vacuum and doing it in argon shield,

00:22:27.555 --> 00:22:32.458
<v Jeff>kind of the same thing, other than pressure is different, you know, but it's both inert.

00:22:32.458 --> 00:22:34.760
<v Jeff>You don't have the oxidation and whatnot.

00:22:35.821 --> 00:22:38.303
<v Shannon>I don't like this beer. You don't? No.

00:22:38.303 --> 00:22:43.947
<v Greg>I don't think it's that great. I think it's... I think it was kind of like, it's just kind of muted.

00:22:45.388 --> 00:22:47.950
<v Shannon>Yeah, yeah, I was going to say flavorless, muted's better, yeah.

00:22:49.191 --> 00:22:52.353
<v Jeff>There's a little bit of like a lemony tanginess to it, some wheatiness.

00:22:53.694 --> 00:22:57.517
<v Jeff>To be honest, I'm tasting French toast, stupid first beer.

00:22:57.517 --> 00:22:58.698
<v Shannon>Here, you want to taste mine?

00:22:58.698 --> 00:22:59.498
<v Jeff>A few founders.

00:22:59.679 --> 00:23:01.160
<v Shannon>Big fan of it anyway.

00:23:03.822 --> 00:23:05.883
<v Shannon>It's, yeah, muted, dull, just flavorless.

00:23:06.644 --> 00:23:09.186
<v Jeff>Yeah, no, here, try the French toast version, it's better.

00:23:10.507 --> 00:23:15.981
<v Greg>I Wonder if you give that a swirl Is there any stuff and is there any gook in

00:23:15.981 --> 00:23:17.332
<v Greg>there that will make it better?

00:23:18.413 --> 00:23:25.588
<v Jeff>There's not much left anyway, but She's going back for seconds for the French

00:23:25.588 --> 00:23:27.619
<v Jeff>toast farmhouse French toast farmhouse.

00:23:28.520 --> 00:23:33.705
<v Jeff>This is not dull Yeah, this would be better if you poured syrup all over it.

00:23:37.070 --> 00:23:38.211
<v Shannon>What was the ABV on that?

00:23:38.772 --> 00:23:39.553
<v Greg>Oh, that was only 5.3.

00:23:39.553 --> 00:23:47.142
<v Jeff>You can tell. Yeah. Yeah, when it said farmhouse, I just presumed it was a clean

00:23:47.142 --> 00:23:49.645
<v Jeff>saison kind of thing. I didn't know it was mixed fermentation.

00:23:51.854 --> 00:23:55.617
<v Jeff>You know, being a 5.3, like if you think like Grisette or something like that,

00:23:55.617 --> 00:23:59.800
<v Jeff>the flavors we got aren't awful, but- No, it wasn't bad.

00:23:59.800 --> 00:24:04.663
<v Shannon>No, it's not a bad- I mean, they're not awfully out of style for anything like that, but, yeah.

00:24:06.665 --> 00:24:07.345
<v Greg>Perfectly drinkable.

00:24:07.345 --> 00:24:09.947
<v Jeff>The thing that Shannon and I have been finding a lot lately,

00:24:09.947 --> 00:24:14.130
<v Jeff>more than I ever remember from the previous iteration of the show,

00:24:14.130 --> 00:24:19.074
<v Jeff>is that beers that like we have here and we're like,

00:24:19.074 --> 00:24:23.957
<v Jeff>We have a couple nights later delicious, you know It's like I never realized

00:24:23.957 --> 00:24:29.742
<v Jeff>it before never encountered it before to such a degree that We when we're focusing

00:24:29.742 --> 00:24:36.507
<v Jeff>on these beers so much We tend to not like things as when we're watching TV. We like them a lot more.

00:24:36.507 --> 00:24:42.131
<v Greg>Sure. Sure That's just the nature of what we do. But it also means that we find something fantastic.

00:24:42.472 --> 00:24:48.516
<v Jeff>It's it's probably fantastic. Yeah. Yeah Let's go to the hoppy one.

00:24:48.516 --> 00:24:55.481
<v Greg>Yeah, so this is Shoebrew 8-4 They call it a pixelated IPA,

00:24:55.481 --> 00:24:59.945
<v Greg>but so here's an interesting story behind 8-4 8-4

00:24:59.945 --> 00:25:03.477
<v Greg>is the famous or infamous ultimate stage

00:25:03.477 --> 00:25:09.312
<v Greg>of Super Mario Brothers where It's the last stage of the original Super Mario

00:25:09.312 --> 00:25:13.455
<v Greg>Brothers game where you're going against Bowser And you have to dodge all this

00:25:13.455 --> 00:25:17.919
<v Greg>fire crap and you have to take a certain path Otherwise the parts of the map

00:25:17.919 --> 00:25:20.961
<v Greg>repeats is that I don't remember that part,

00:25:20.961 --> 00:25:25.224
<v Greg>but it's probably true So it's

00:25:25.224 --> 00:25:30.669
<v Greg>American barley flaked wheat golden naked oats Honeymalt hopped with Motueka

00:25:30.669 --> 00:25:39.038
<v Greg>galaxy Citra cascade and strata strata Seven point five percent alcohol by volume

00:25:39.038 --> 00:25:41.821
<v Greg>Guess how many IBUs? Ummm... Sixty-six. Shannon?

00:25:52.736 --> 00:26:06.106
<v Greg>Remember all those hops? 10,000 73 Jeff is technically closer at 14 What? 14 IBU.

00:26:08.258 --> 00:26:13.131
<v Jeff>I didn't think it would have a heavy IBU load Because they're not using them

00:26:13.131 --> 00:26:18.996
<v Jeff>in the bittering. They're using them for the flavoring and dry hopping and I

00:26:18.996 --> 00:26:22.898
<v Jeff>picked this out, by the way It's an interesting one.

00:26:22.898 --> 00:26:27.882
<v Greg>So it's got this sort of, it's got that milkshake-y look to it, very hazy.

00:26:30.964 --> 00:26:36.168
<v Jeff>Oh, the label artwork, it's funny, I never thought about where 8-4 came from.

00:26:36.588 --> 00:26:42.492
<v Jeff>But there is a Mario cap, there is the axe at the end on the backside of the

00:26:42.492 --> 00:26:45.595
<v Jeff>drawbridge, or the rope bridge that you claim.

00:26:46.716 --> 00:26:53.000
<v Jeff>There's I guess the fireball monsters, there's, I guess that's Bowser back there.

00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:56.883
<v Greg>I guess so, or a shell, a spiked shell.

00:26:57.803 --> 00:27:02.667
<v Jeff>I didn't realize that either. But it's not done in 8-bit, it's done in like

00:27:02.667 --> 00:27:07.330
<v Jeff>fantasy D&D style artwork, you know. D&D, yeah.

00:27:10.968 --> 00:27:13.470
<v Shannon>Yeah, I love the label.

00:27:13.470 --> 00:27:18.844
<v Jeff>All right. So the beer pours. So the pixelated series, right,

00:27:18.844 --> 00:27:24.198
<v Jeff>is what they started calling their hazy IPAs ever since hazies started.

00:27:24.638 --> 00:27:27.661
<v Jeff>And they all have video game connotations.

00:27:31.244 --> 00:27:34.887
<v Jeff>Like Jumpman, they said done ones from like Mega Man, Sonic,

00:27:34.887 --> 00:27:38.309
<v Jeff>you know, all kinds of classic video games.

00:27:38.890 --> 00:27:40.411
<v Greg>I mean it smells hoppy.

00:27:41.392 --> 00:27:42.132
<v Shannon>Very hoppy.

00:27:42.132 --> 00:27:47.536
<v Jeff>It has a creamy like a creamy almost cream not quite creamsicle but the cream part of the cream.

00:27:47.536 --> 00:27:47.996
<v Shannon>Definitely.

00:27:50.758 --> 00:27:56.262
<v Shannon>In fact I just had the orange creamsicle monster yesterday and that's what it

00:27:56.262 --> 00:28:00.385
<v Shannon>it it has a little hint of that on the nose.

00:28:05.228 --> 00:28:08.951
<v Jeff>It has 66 IVs of bitterness on the tongue. I don't know where that 14 came from.

00:28:09.351 --> 00:28:10.592
<v Greg>That's what it says on our tab.

00:28:10.592 --> 00:28:15.335
<v Jeff>Maybe that tab's wrong. I don't know. Like the first sip, it wasn't really kind

00:28:15.335 --> 00:28:21.039
<v Jeff>of, from the aroma, I was expecting something a little more like full-bodied

00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:23.421
<v Jeff>marshmallow fluff type of body on it.

00:28:23.421 --> 00:28:28.444
<v Jeff>and it hits a little bitter up front, and then it kind of, the sweetness comes in behind it.

00:28:28.965 --> 00:28:35.949
<v Greg>See, I was expecting something a little less confused, but I'm trying to find

00:28:35.949 --> 00:28:37.619
<v Greg>the through line here, right?

00:28:38.010 --> 00:28:41.631
<v Greg>What's the, what are they trying to get me to taste?

00:28:43.152 --> 00:28:46.353
<v Greg>And I'm just getting a lot of stuff.

00:28:47.194 --> 00:28:50.795
<v Jeff>The main thing that I latched onto is kind of this papaya thing.

00:28:52.356 --> 00:28:54.276
<v Jeff>It's in a middle-late flavor. Hmm.

00:28:58.165 --> 00:29:04.610
<v Jeff>I'm always, I'm always a fan of the, the, the fleshy tropical flavors, papaya, guava.

00:29:04.610 --> 00:29:10.284
<v Greg>But then you've got that Motueka, which gives it a very kind of like a peach

00:29:10.284 --> 00:29:18.519
<v Greg>pit type thing. And you've got Galaxy, which is going off into guava land. I don't know.

00:29:20.281 --> 00:29:26.886
<v Greg>I taste this and I'm like, sorry, sorry, Shrebru. You're better beers in another castle.

00:29:29.689 --> 00:29:30.749
<v Jeff>That was a setup.

00:29:30.749 --> 00:29:31.930
<v Greg>That was a setup.

00:29:33.691 --> 00:29:37.774
<v Jeff>The more I drink it, the more that body that I was missing in the first sip

00:29:37.774 --> 00:29:43.679
<v Jeff>is kind of coming back to me. So maybe it was the change from the sour or the

00:29:43.679 --> 00:29:46.161
<v Jeff>tart farmhouse from prison city.

00:29:46.602 --> 00:29:51.365
<v Jeff>But now that I'm drinking it, it's kind of doesn't have that,

00:29:51.365 --> 00:29:56.268
<v Jeff>And that kind of a bracing bitterness up front and it has that kind of creamy fluffiness.

00:29:57.410 --> 00:30:02.233
<v Greg>So more confused. I just keep trying to figure out like, what's the,

00:30:02.233 --> 00:30:06.817
<v Greg>what's the game that it's playing?

00:30:09.760 --> 00:30:13.442
<v Greg>What's sometimes you like, I, we talked about before. I like a beer that tells

00:30:13.442 --> 00:30:16.804
<v Greg>a story when the story is confusing.

00:30:18.746 --> 00:30:19.927
<v Greg>that is a detriment.

00:30:19.927 --> 00:30:29.214
<v Jeff>Yeah. I mean, I think the, like the primary flavor story could be a little more

00:30:29.214 --> 00:30:32.537
<v Jeff>clear, right? It's a little muddled leading into it.

00:30:32.877 --> 00:30:36.600
<v Jeff>I still think it gets there eventually with kind of those tropical fleshy flavors,

00:30:36.600 --> 00:30:39.542
<v Jeff>but um, I get what you're saying.

00:30:42.465 --> 00:30:48.807
<v Jeff>Peach pit's a neat call, because I am getting, when you take that bite of a

00:30:48.807 --> 00:30:53.329
<v Jeff>peach, when it's almost gone and you're scraping your teeth up against the pit,

00:30:53.329 --> 00:30:55.149
<v Jeff>that part of the flesh, you get some of that.

00:30:55.149 --> 00:30:56.550
<v Shannon>Yeah, that is a good call.

00:31:02.821 --> 00:31:06.504
<v Greg>This is the one where I'm, I'm almost like, I don't even know how good a drinker

00:31:06.504 --> 00:31:12.629
<v Greg>this will be because it's, I would legit be drinking and be like, what's going on?

00:31:15.271 --> 00:31:18.213
<v Greg>Um, yeah, I, I, I don't know.

00:31:18.774 --> 00:31:23.897
<v Shannon>How long have we had these? About three weeks, I guess. Two weeks, two weeks.

00:31:24.378 --> 00:31:25.478
<v Jeff>Yeah, it's two weeks.

00:31:25.478 --> 00:31:29.641
<v Shannon>Two weeks. I'm just wondering, because I got this on tap, remember?

00:31:29.641 --> 00:31:33.685
<v Shannon>Yeah. And it was really good.

00:31:35.686 --> 00:31:39.709
<v Shannon>I like it, but not- Well, now you're on the show.

00:31:39.709 --> 00:31:46.335
<v Shannon>You know, I'm on the show. Yeah. Definitely,

00:31:46.335 --> 00:31:57.603
<v Shannon>you say the peach pit, and I taste it, but I do taste the orange creamsicle a lot.

00:31:57.603 --> 00:32:01.206
<v Greg>It's- I'd want that to be a lot lighter. Every taste. brighter than these other

00:32:01.206 --> 00:32:03.568
<v Greg>flavors would support it.

00:32:04.869 --> 00:32:06.850
<v Shannon>Don't you taste it more though with every sip?

00:32:07.811 --> 00:32:09.612
<v Greg>No, I keep tasting different things.

00:32:12.295 --> 00:32:17.459
<v Jeff>This is the Shoebrew 8-4. 10 points on the label and the title though.

00:32:17.459 --> 00:32:17.699
<v Greg>Yeah.

00:32:17.699 --> 00:32:22.082
<v Jeff>That's for sure. All right, Casco Mountain Maker Camp. So we did all the makery

00:32:22.082 --> 00:32:28.047
<v Jeff>things and then on the way back, Shannon had an adventure. I did.

00:32:29.909 --> 00:32:32.350
<v Jeff>I mean, I had an adventure too,

00:32:32.350 --> 00:32:36.693
<v Jeff>but I was in the comfortable confines of a brand new Ford F-150. You are.

00:32:38.375 --> 00:32:39.775
<v Shannon>That's practically drives itself.

00:32:39.775 --> 00:32:40.656
<v Greg>You didn't get a Cybertruck?

00:32:40.656 --> 00:32:48.982
<v Jeff>No. So Craig, our friend up there, he's also this fanatic for- Oh, God.

00:32:48.982 --> 00:32:50.904
<v Greg>I heard so much about Craig today.

00:32:51.244 --> 00:32:51.845
<v Jeff>I know.

00:32:51.845 --> 00:32:52.565
<v Shannon>Craig, Craig, Craig.

00:32:54.267 --> 00:32:55.547
<v Greg>Craig, Craig, Craig, Craig.

00:32:56.668 --> 00:33:03.634
<v Jeff>So he was, he's a fanatic for late 80s Volkswagen camper vans.

00:33:04.735 --> 00:33:12.399
<v Jeff>So he rescues them out of fields and rehabs them. And he found one earlier in the year up in New York.

00:33:13.722 --> 00:33:16.524
<v Jeff>In Vermont? No, it was in New York.

00:33:16.785 --> 00:33:18.386
<v Shannon>It wasn't in New York? I thought it was in...

00:33:18.386 --> 00:33:19.567
<v Jeff>No, Blue was from Vermont.

00:33:21.473 --> 00:33:23.373
<v Jeff>Oh, okay. Different vans, different story.

00:33:23.874 --> 00:33:24.434
<v Shannon>Different van.

00:33:24.434 --> 00:33:28.798
<v Jeff>But so this thing was parked in a field for like 15 years, 12 years,

00:33:28.798 --> 00:33:32.180
<v Jeff>something like that. Totally rat and mouse infested.

00:33:32.961 --> 00:33:37.064
<v Jeff>He has the first video up on Barefoot Forge's YouTube if you want to watch it.

00:33:37.064 --> 00:33:39.866
<v Jeff>But his goal was to get it running and drivable.

00:33:41.027 --> 00:33:45.530
<v Jeff>But then his problem was that he was going to have two vans in East Durham,

00:33:45.530 --> 00:33:49.653
<v Jeff>New York, and he could only drive to one home, right?

00:33:53.177 --> 00:33:58.861
<v Jeff>So I hauled some anvils up to make her camp for him. So we were at his place getting the anvils.

00:33:58.861 --> 00:34:00.382
<v Shannon>Well, you were. I was home.

00:34:00.382 --> 00:34:00.702
<v Jeff>Okay.

00:34:01.963 --> 00:34:04.004
<v Shannon>Well, he called me from your phone.

00:34:04.205 --> 00:34:07.908
<v Jeff>So he's like, yeah, I don't have any friends that can drive a stick.

00:34:07.908 --> 00:34:12.931
<v Jeff>So I might have to leave the blue bus there and then fly up in the spring or

00:34:12.931 --> 00:34:16.034
<v Jeff>something and bring it back. And I'm like, well, Shannon can drive a stick.

00:34:16.815 --> 00:34:19.296
<v Jeff>And I'm like, let me call her. So I call her and...

00:34:20.157 --> 00:34:23.579
<v Shannon>Well, he, yeah, well, I answered it was him on the phone,

00:34:23.579 --> 00:34:26.821
<v Shannon>but yeah, he asked me if I would,

00:34:26.821 --> 00:34:33.666
<v Shannon>if I could drive a manual and I was like, yeah, I've been driving a manual since

00:34:33.666 --> 00:34:39.290
<v Shannon>I was 13 in a field and I've had more manuals than I have automatics, so.

00:34:41.172 --> 00:34:46.345
<v Jeff>So he got the van running and Sunday, so his other van, the one Shannon drove

00:34:46.345 --> 00:34:51.299
<v Jeff>home, she He wasn't gonna make her drive the one that hasn't driven a mile in

00:34:51.299 --> 00:34:55.522
<v Jeff>a decade, right? But his other one, these things are rare.

00:34:57.884 --> 00:35:01.406
<v Jeff>He didn't tell us this till we got home, but it's like the lowest mileage one

00:35:01.406 --> 00:35:03.918
<v Jeff>in existence. It's worth like $130,000.

00:35:03.918 --> 00:35:12.501
<v Shannon>Yeah. So, back to last weekend.

00:35:14.019 --> 00:35:16.581
<v Greg>So you were, of course, driving around like crashing into things, but like, yeah.

00:35:16.581 --> 00:35:22.705
<v Shannon>Yeah, definitely. No, he, was it Saturday morning, Sunday morning?

00:35:23.166 --> 00:35:26.848
<v Shannon>He said, all right, this was before I even had my first cup of coffee.

00:35:26.848 --> 00:35:31.351
<v Shannon>And that's like a no-no. You don't even talk to me before my first cup of coffee.

00:35:31.351 --> 00:35:35.044
<v Shannon>But I spend an hour praying to the coffee gods every morning.

00:35:37.356 --> 00:35:42.119
<v Shannon>And he comes over to our tent and he's like, hey, you're ready for that Driving

00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:48.023
<v Shannon>tests. I want to see how your skills are He totally wanted to make sure that he was solid.

00:35:48.524 --> 00:35:53.788
<v Jeff>So like because if she wrecked his transmission, it's Big bucks to replace that

00:35:53.788 --> 00:35:55.710
<v Jeff>They're pretty hard to find.

00:35:57.571 --> 00:36:01.094
<v Shannon>So yeah, I Said well, I have to have a first cup of coffee He said we can get

00:36:01.094 --> 00:36:06.087
<v Shannon>coffee on the way that will drive to the milk run the milk run and get coffee

00:36:06.087 --> 00:36:09.180
<v Shannon>But you're driving I'm like,

00:36:09.180 --> 00:36:17.566
<v Shannon>all right And I drove and I passed with flying colors, I might say.

00:36:18.407 --> 00:36:21.469
<v Shannon>I kicked ass. I didn't just pass, but I kicked ass.

00:36:21.469 --> 00:36:24.592
<v Greg>There you go. Well, if you, like you said, you've been driving since you were

00:36:24.592 --> 00:36:30.056
<v Greg>13 and that was, you know, what, four years ago? So yeah, so you've had a lot of experience.

00:36:30.056 --> 00:36:31.157
<v Shannon>Right.

00:36:31.157 --> 00:36:35.160
<v Greg>Actually, that's not good, because that would make you 17 and that would be

00:36:35.160 --> 00:36:37.302
<v Greg>bad for you. 10 years ago.

00:36:37.822 --> 00:36:44.187
<v Shannon>Yeah, that's better. So, yeah, my first vehicle, when I turned 16,

00:36:44.187 --> 00:36:49.831
<v Shannon>was a Volkswagen, but it was a Bug. Baby blue.

00:36:49.831 --> 00:36:51.452
<v Greg>Still kind of cool cars, I think.

00:36:51.772 --> 00:36:53.623
<v Shannon>Volkswagen Bug, 1970. Yeah.

00:36:53.623 --> 00:36:54.814
<v Greg>Classic.

00:36:54.814 --> 00:37:02.838
<v Shannon>Yeah. So I drove Baloo all the way home from Catskill. And you have to take factoids.

00:37:02.838 --> 00:37:05.238
<v Jeff>Over 400 miles. Because the things really can't.

00:37:05.229 --> 00:37:09.292
<v Jeff>They can't like go 60 miles an hour for a drive. So you have to take back roads

00:37:09.292 --> 00:37:11.133
<v Jeff>the whole way. So it was a fun drive.

00:37:11.133 --> 00:37:15.936
<v Shannon>It was fun. It was a beautiful drive. First of all, Monday was perfect weather.

00:37:16.537 --> 00:37:19.939
<v Shannon>It was, I don't know, 65 degrees, 60 degrees.

00:37:20.460 --> 00:37:25.604
<v Shannon>Sun was shining. There's beautiful skies all the way home.

00:37:26.785 --> 00:37:32.068
<v Shannon>The fall foliage was gorgeous, you know, up there in the mountains.

00:37:32.089 --> 00:37:38.463
<v Shannon>and you're passing all these beautiful farms and it was just, it was a gorgeous drive.

00:37:38.463 --> 00:37:42.803
<v Shannon>I don't know if Jeff enjoyed it so much because he had to, you know,

00:37:42.803 --> 00:37:50.283
<v Shannon>follow both of us and we caravaned, we had walkie talkies or CB radios, not walkie talkies.

00:37:50.283 --> 00:37:53.625
<v Greg>I was going to ask, what's the infotainment system like on one of those old ones?

00:37:53.625 --> 00:38:02.852
<v Shannon>Oh, so he has, yeah, he has a nice stereo and the one that I drove and he synced it to Bluetooth.

00:38:03.993 --> 00:38:10.538
<v Shannon>No, not quite that. But he did sync my phone to it so I could listen to Noah

00:38:10.538 --> 00:38:16.382
<v Shannon>Kahn all the way home and talk on my CB radio.

00:38:18.844 --> 00:38:23.387
<v Shannon>And I had a blast. I mean, the surprising thing is we really,

00:38:23.387 --> 00:38:32.261
<v Shannon>none of us. There you go. None of us thought that Heidi is the the one that he just,

00:38:33.696 --> 00:38:38.770
<v Shannon>you know, brought back. None of us thought that that one would make it all the

00:38:38.770 --> 00:38:44.454
<v Shannon>way to Pittsburgh, and surprisingly it did with no hiccups. We only had to pull

00:38:44.454 --> 00:38:47.257
<v Shannon>over one time, and it wasn't even for us.

00:38:47.777 --> 00:38:50.119
<v Shannon>It was to help somebody else who had a broken down car.

00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:52.761
<v Jeff>We were just getting started. We were like less than 10 miles into the trip,

00:38:52.761 --> 00:38:55.403
<v Jeff>and we drive past this guy who had a broken down car.

00:38:56.124 --> 00:39:00.987
<v Jeff>And, you know, we had to stop because it It would just be too bad of karma.

00:39:04.030 --> 00:39:08.794
<v Jeff>So I drove him a couple of miles down the road to someone he knew.

00:39:09.674 --> 00:39:14.478
<v Jeff>This guy had just gotten his first smartphone, just got an iPhone.

00:39:14.478 --> 00:39:16.159
<v Jeff>It didn't have any contacts in it.

00:39:16.720 --> 00:39:19.742
<v Jeff>Didn't know how to use the phone app. Like he couldn't.

00:39:20.503 --> 00:39:21.213
<v Shannon>He couldn't.

00:39:21.213 --> 00:39:24.046
<v Jeff>So part of us stopping was showing him how to make phone calls.

00:39:24.967 --> 00:39:28.609
<v Greg>Like Craig. It's funny that these things that we call phones,

00:39:28.609 --> 00:39:32.552
<v Greg>they have a phone in them, but they're hard to use.

00:39:33.393 --> 00:39:36.494
<v Shannon>Craig literally, I'm saying his name again just to, I'm going to do as much

00:39:36.494 --> 00:39:42.719
<v Shannon>as I can through the show to annoy you now, but he literally says to the guy,

00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:48.202
<v Shannon>no, I want you to do it again so you can show me that you know how to work your phone.

00:39:48.623 --> 00:39:53.326
<v Shannon>Like he's literally taught him how to use, how to make a phone call.

00:39:53.446 --> 00:39:59.130
<v Greg>You got to put the phone icon on the dock so that it's always there. I think it was there.

00:40:00.251 --> 00:40:02.733
<v Jeff>It was there. No, he got it like a day before. Yeah.

00:40:02.733 --> 00:40:09.097
<v Shannon>And he wasn't young. I mean, so obviously. And he was having a hard time,

00:40:09.097 --> 00:40:15.922
<v Shannon>but the karma for saving this man got us all the way.

00:40:15.922 --> 00:40:19.484
<v Shannon>And then we celebrated with a bottle of champagne in the front yard of Craig's

00:40:19.484 --> 00:40:25.788
<v Shannon>house with Craig's parents. Whose house? Craig's house.

00:40:29.209 --> 00:40:36.912
<v Shannon>So it was a lot of fun. It was a joyous day. It was a beautiful way to end the week.

00:40:38.923 --> 00:40:39.944
<v Jeff>Waiting on you babe.

00:40:39.944 --> 00:40:46.809
<v Greg>So the next beer we have here is from Allagash. This is a Cool Ship Resurgum or Resurgum?

00:40:49.151 --> 00:40:51.993
<v Greg>Resurgum Barrel-aged blend of spontaneously fermented beer. So it's a blend

00:40:51.993 --> 00:40:55.866
<v Greg>Uh Pilsner malt raw wheat aged hop 6.3%.

00:40:56.897 --> 00:41:04.803
<v Jeff>Alcohol by volume Uh, this is bottled Bottled January 19th, 2015 Oh, okay.

00:41:04.803 --> 00:41:10.267
<v Greg>So a cooled overnight using outside air temperature in a traditional large shallow

00:41:10.267 --> 00:41:13.750
<v Greg>pan known as a cool ship. So that's where cool ship comes from.

00:41:13.750 --> 00:41:15.692
<v Shannon>Say that again? I wasn't paying attention.

00:41:15.692 --> 00:41:20.916
<v Greg>The beer is cooled overnight using an outside air temperature in a traditional

00:41:20.916 --> 00:41:23.358
<v Greg>large shallow pan known as a cool ship.

00:41:23.358 --> 00:41:24.419
<v Shannon>Oh.

00:41:24.419 --> 00:41:25.079
<v Jeff>You saw it.

00:41:25.079 --> 00:41:30.343
<v Greg>So during the process, naturally occurring microbiota from the air inoculate

00:41:30.343 --> 00:41:33.045
<v Greg>the beer, in the morning it's transferred into French oak barrels,

00:41:33.045 --> 00:41:35.947
<v Greg>where the entire fermentation and aging takes place.

00:41:37.288 --> 00:41:41.490
<v Greg>And this is a blend of one, two, and three year old spontaneously fermented beer.

00:41:43.232 --> 00:41:44.472
<v Greg>As we said, 6.3% alcohol by volume.

00:41:44.472 --> 00:41:52.638
<v Jeff>Yeah, so it's kind of like a traditional giz, geez, with the one,

00:41:52.638 --> 00:41:54.159
<v Jeff>two, and three year blend.

00:41:54.879 --> 00:41:56.820
<v Shannon>It's very golden, bronzy colored.

00:42:01.684 --> 00:42:07.028
<v Jeff>Oh, Greg is bringing out his next thing from his bag of tricks.

00:42:09.030 --> 00:42:12.072
<v Jeff>Cooper, her bag's rustling, it's like, you got another toy for me?

00:42:13.493 --> 00:42:17.536
<v Shannon>Greg's been coming over and bringing Cooper toys, so now...

00:42:19.117 --> 00:42:23.450
<v Greg>Yeah, and today Cooper barfed for me as a thank you.

00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:26.882
<v Jeff>That was from all the grass he ate earlier when he was out in the backyard with us.

00:42:27.703 --> 00:42:31.106
<v Greg>I've grown to really, to like Cooper a lot. And so Cooper gets toys,

00:42:31.106 --> 00:42:34.228
<v Greg>you know, I mean, I don't spend a lot of money on these things,

00:42:34.228 --> 00:42:36.770
<v Greg>but I spend some because, hey.

00:42:37.111 --> 00:42:38.291
<v Jeff>And he, he loves it.

00:42:38.291 --> 00:42:41.814
<v Shannon>He does. He does. He knows your car now, by the way.

00:42:44.777 --> 00:42:51.561
<v Greg>I, in, so in, in what, uh, six months or so, I'm going to probably have a new

00:42:51.561 --> 00:42:52.922
<v Greg>one because my lease is up, so.

00:42:53.743 --> 00:42:58.088
<v Jeff>So he'll have to learn the sound of your new car. But yeah, like when she says

00:42:58.088 --> 00:43:02.914
<v Jeff>he knows cars, he can't see out the window, so he knows the sound of the car.

00:43:05.196 --> 00:43:09.379
<v Greg>Okay. So here we go. So color golden, bronzy golden.

00:43:09.379 --> 00:43:14.233
<v Shannon>I think it's, well, I guess it looked more bronzy when they were all sitting.

00:43:14.233 --> 00:43:18.166
<v Jeff>I poured almost the full bottle, except for the dreggiest of the dregs.

00:43:18.166 --> 00:43:22.569
<v Jeff>So we got a little haze in the glass cause you know, I wasn't carefully decanting

00:43:22.569 --> 00:43:25.251
<v Jeff>it. But if we did, we wouldn't have nearly as much beer. It's only in a 375

00:43:25.251 --> 00:43:31.316
<v Jeff>milliliter bottle, green bottle, like a good Lambic would be.

00:43:31.316 --> 00:43:37.360
<v Greg>It does smell about what you'd expect for a Houssini-Lambicki-type thing.

00:43:40.563 --> 00:43:46.774
<v Jeff>So I don't know if I didn't know this or if I forgot this, but Allagash actually

00:43:46.774 --> 00:43:53.333
<v Jeff>got their own species of wildly fermented brett.

00:43:54.214 --> 00:43:56.615
<v Jeff>You know, it's like brett portlandi or something.

00:43:57.537 --> 00:43:59.258
<v Jeff>But internally, they call it Bret Michaels.

00:44:02.360 --> 00:44:03.681
<v Greg>They don't call it Craig? No.

00:44:05.323 --> 00:44:12.108
<v Jeff>They probably haven't met Craig, or they would. They would, yeah.

00:44:12.108 --> 00:44:14.930
<v Jeff>We don't need to artificially grow the legend of Craig.

00:44:14.930 --> 00:44:16.391
<v Shannon>No, we do not.

00:44:16.952 --> 00:44:18.233
<v Greg>Hot damn, there we go.

00:44:18.233 --> 00:44:20.594
<v Shannon>Wow, that's full of flavor.

00:44:22.136 --> 00:44:30.862
<v Greg>Now we're talking. So, yeah, you're immediately hit up with this big tartness, big acetic hit.

00:44:31.602 --> 00:44:41.729
<v Greg>And then, ooh, there's like a raisiny cherry thing at the end with a mix of

00:44:41.729 --> 00:44:42.769
<v Greg>the little bready dustiness.

00:44:45.232 --> 00:44:51.716
<v Jeff>Yeah, it's limey, like lime, lime acid, kind of a, man, the fruit flays are out.

00:44:51.716 --> 00:44:52.217
<v Shannon>What's going on?

00:44:53.040 --> 00:44:57.126
<v Jeff>Which is funny, I know, but like, we haven't seen fruit flies in our kitchen in weeks.

00:44:58.128 --> 00:45:01.475
<v Shannon>Do we have onions downstairs? I'm gonna have to go look and see.

00:45:02.853 --> 00:45:14.382
<v Greg>Last time we had Cooper barfed up some some fleas Nats some some gnuts Okay, so why Do you want to see a,

00:45:20.308 --> 00:45:27.592
<v Greg>picture Actually, I know and I was like I I legit have nothing against craig.

00:45:27.592 --> 00:45:35.017
<v Jeff>I just think it's a funny joke funny runner That'll have to be the title of the show, I guess.

00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:40.101
<v Shannon>You're trying to get the splinter out of your finger, aren't you?

00:45:40.101 --> 00:45:43.023
<v Jeff>I am. It's bugging me. Do you want to tell us how you got that splinter?

00:45:43.023 --> 00:45:44.844
<v Jeff>I think I just got it. Woodworking.

00:45:46.556 --> 00:45:48.367
<v Jeff>Well, let me... I had this one yesterday.

00:45:48.367 --> 00:45:49.868
<v Shannon>You were talking about making stuff, so.

00:45:49.868 --> 00:45:50.228
<v Jeff>Yes.

00:45:52.310 --> 00:45:56.993
<v Greg>And a while back, I just sort of got ahead of myself, and I was like,

00:45:56.993 --> 00:45:59.515
<v Greg>I saw some things for purchase, and I was like, yeah, I'll buy them.

00:46:00.256 --> 00:46:04.939
<v Greg>And I came to the realization later that I'm not good at making things.

00:46:05.560 --> 00:46:11.424
<v Greg>I have shaky hands. I just don't have the right, both the mindset and just the

00:46:11.424 --> 00:46:16.188
<v Greg>right, like, physical tool set, let's say, to do it.

00:46:16.188 --> 00:46:21.111
<v Greg>So I have these things that, first of all, I just want to give you. If you want them, cool.

00:46:21.592 --> 00:46:23.534
<v Greg>If not, I don't know, do whatever you want with them.

00:46:23.534 --> 00:46:26.796
<v Jeff>I'll probably make them and give them back to you, but yeah, let's see what we got.

00:46:26.796 --> 00:46:27.616
<v Greg>This is an oscilloscope.

00:46:27.616 --> 00:46:33.059
<v Jeff>Okay. Actually, I probably go downstairs and give you a completed version of this.

00:46:33.860 --> 00:46:39.723
<v Jeff>I probably, there's, there's someone cloned this oscilloscope kit and all the

00:46:39.723 --> 00:46:45.747
<v Jeff>Chinese people sell this thing and I bought one because real oscilloscopes are expensive.

00:46:48.807 --> 00:46:53.990
<v Jeff>I Could do through the magic of buying two I Could give you a completed one

00:46:53.990 --> 00:46:58.454
<v Jeff>of these and like now the time takes me go upstairs and come back up That that is come on.

00:46:58.454 --> 00:47:01.876
<v Greg>Are you sure but that wasn't what I wanted find it that quick.

00:47:01.876 --> 00:47:03.258
<v Jeff>Yeah No, I saw it already today.

00:47:03.258 --> 00:47:04.018
<v Shannon>Oh, wow.

00:47:04.018 --> 00:47:06.620
<v Jeff>I know exactly word Wow, but let's see.

00:47:06.620 --> 00:47:13.585
<v Greg>So here is I Can build this one for power and I had some nine volts to in here

00:47:13.585 --> 00:47:17.749
<v Greg>Um, and this is a function generator for...

00:47:17.749 --> 00:47:19.800
<v Jeff>I don't have a function generator.

00:47:22.653 --> 00:47:25.705
<v Jeff>Yeah, no, these, these, um, your eyes were bigger than your mouth.

00:47:25.705 --> 00:47:29.017
<v Jeff>These are not beginner soldering projects. Yeah. That one, um,

00:47:29.017 --> 00:47:34.462
<v Jeff>was fairly involved. And, and I mean, this is a big bag of parts here too. So. Yeah.

00:47:34.462 --> 00:47:37.664
<v Greg>So when I saw them, I was like, oh, okay.

00:47:41.267 --> 00:47:42.248
<v Greg>And realized that I...

00:47:42.248 --> 00:47:47.432
<v Jeff>This one doesn't come with the acrylic case.

00:47:47.432 --> 00:47:54.357
<v Greg>Even doing like fake, like simple stuff, I'm just not good at. Like I made some...

00:47:56.679 --> 00:48:00.481
<v Greg>The craft project that I most recently did was there are these little magnetic

00:48:00.481 --> 00:48:03.744
<v Greg>ledges I put into Fermi's terrarium,

00:48:03.744 --> 00:48:10.309
<v Greg>and I drilled holes and took plastic plants and hot glue and put a little plastic

00:48:10.309 --> 00:48:14.292
<v Greg>plants in there so that the ledges have like hiding spots.

00:48:15.893 --> 00:48:23.499
<v Greg>And this it looks like crap. I just I just am not good at this kind of work.

00:48:25.481 --> 00:48:28.462
<v Greg>So first of all, have at it. They're yours.

00:48:28.462 --> 00:48:29.864
<v Shannon>Do what you want with them.

00:48:30.284 --> 00:48:32.325
<v Greg>The second thing, however, is an ask.

00:48:34.848 --> 00:48:42.653
<v Greg>I'd like you to make something for me and I will pay for all of the parts and

00:48:42.653 --> 00:48:44.175
<v Greg>for your labor as well. What is it?

00:48:44.735 --> 00:48:46.916
<v Greg>The first thing I want you to make, you made before.

00:48:49.539 --> 00:48:51.820
<v Greg>I want an acoustic levitator.

00:48:55.263 --> 00:48:59.086
<v Greg>It's one of the coolest things you ever made. I want one. I want to have one.

00:49:00.808 --> 00:49:02.369
<v Greg>You know, have you seen this before?

00:49:02.369 --> 00:49:04.471
<v Shannon>I don't.

00:49:04.471 --> 00:49:07.853
<v Jeff>You might've seen pictures. It's the thing that I made with Allie.

00:49:08.574 --> 00:49:10.075
<v Jeff>Made the styrofoam beads float.

00:49:10.075 --> 00:49:13.838
<v Shannon>Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did see it. I did see it.

00:49:13.978 --> 00:49:18.381
<v Greg>Is ultrasound to make standing waves? Yeah, I totally want one.

00:49:18.381 --> 00:49:23.645
<v Jeff>Okay. Yeah, I know price isn't a thing for you.

00:49:23.646 --> 00:49:28.235
<v Jeff>The ultrasonic transducers are the priciest part of that. Yeah,

00:49:28.235 --> 00:49:30.961
<v Jeff>I figured it was gonna cost a hundred bucks to get like this.

00:49:30.961 --> 00:49:31.983
<v Jeff>$70 when I built it before.

00:49:35.070 --> 00:49:37.022
<v Greg>And then once you have that, I have a second project.

00:49:37.022 --> 00:49:37.392
<v Jeff>Okay.

00:49:39.534 --> 00:49:43.176
<v Greg>Um, we'll taste the beer and then we'll see what we think about the second project.

00:49:44.317 --> 00:49:44.977
<v Jeff>Taste the beer.

00:49:45.098 --> 00:49:47.679
<v Greg>Well, we should talk a little bit about the beer.

00:49:47.679 --> 00:49:50.761
<v Jeff>Yeah, the Resurgium, the cool ship Resurgium from Allagash, 2015 bottling.

00:49:53.403 --> 00:49:56.826
<v Jeff>We got this when we were up there on our trip and we had the seller's tour.

00:49:56.826 --> 00:50:01.069
<v Jeff>So we got to peek through the little through hole to look at the cool ship.

00:50:01.489 --> 00:50:05.692
<v Jeff>If it wasn't raining that day, the host said she would have let Shannon and

00:50:05.692 --> 00:50:10.615
<v Jeff>I go around and walk into the cool ship room and get to see everything.

00:50:10.615 --> 00:50:16.620
<v Jeff>But yeah, they had some real whales for sale in the cellars.

00:50:17.560 --> 00:50:20.862
<v Greg>I would say this is really good. This is sort of a classic, classic goods.

00:50:20.862 --> 00:50:25.746
<v Greg>It's got like everything I would want from there. It's also something that is

00:50:25.746 --> 00:50:27.367
<v Greg>not a beginner beer, right?

00:50:27.887 --> 00:50:31.830
<v Greg>This is not something that you would bring somebody who's new to beer and say, try this.

00:50:31.930 --> 00:50:32.291
<v Shannon>No.

00:50:33.211 --> 00:50:37.635
<v Jeff>Now someone who has got their sour beer training wheels off, right?

00:50:37.635 --> 00:50:44.340
<v Jeff>This one has fantastic complexity. It's not too tangy, too sour, too bready.

00:50:44.340 --> 00:50:50.965
<v Jeff>It's not too, yeah, it's as far as gooses go, this one's subtle,

00:50:50.965 --> 00:50:53.127
<v Jeff>right? This one, but it's not boring.

00:50:53.627 --> 00:50:57.210
<v Jeff>It is, it's right in the middle of all the things you want.

00:50:57.210 --> 00:50:59.610
<v Greg>Yeah. This is really, really good. It is.

00:51:02.466 --> 00:51:03.387
<v Shannon>It's hallagash.

00:51:05.889 --> 00:51:08.451
<v Greg>So the next thing that I'd like to make, once you're done with that,

00:51:08.451 --> 00:51:15.316
<v Greg>is we've actually talked about it, or you mentioned something about it at one point.

00:51:18.439 --> 00:51:20.820
<v Greg>And in thinking about it, yeah, I want one too.

00:51:22.782 --> 00:51:23.863
<v Shannon>You already have a bowl.

00:51:27.906 --> 00:51:35.712
<v Greg>One of the coolest things that Jeff and I did physics-wise ever was we made a cloud chamber.

00:51:37.934 --> 00:51:42.978
<v Greg>Those are, it's really cheap to make a cloud chamber, but it takes up a lot

00:51:42.978 --> 00:51:45.500
<v Greg>of space and got to get dry ice.

00:51:46.681 --> 00:51:49.583
<v Greg>I like a peltier cold cloud chamber.

00:51:49.583 --> 00:51:55.868
<v Jeff>All right. Yeah. So Shannon's like, what's a cloud chamber? Some of the listeners,

00:51:55.868 --> 00:51:57.389
<v Jeff>most of the listeners probably are too.

00:51:58.130 --> 00:52:01.553
<v Jeff>Cloud Chamber, the one we made before, let's describe the one we made before,

00:52:01.553 --> 00:52:02.834
<v Jeff>then we'll talk about the Peltier cool one.

00:52:03.574 --> 00:52:10.480
<v Jeff>It's a very basic DIY science project that you can do with an elementary school kid.

00:52:11.050 --> 00:52:15.463
<v Jeff>You get an aquarium, you know, like a, what is that, five gallon,

00:52:15.463 --> 00:52:18.466
<v Jeff>10 gallon aquarium, whatever, the ones that are like this big, right?

00:52:18.946 --> 00:52:20.868
<v Jeff>The size of several bread boxes, whatever.

00:52:22.289 --> 00:52:29.234
<v Jeff>And then you have to hot glue some felt to the bottom of the aquarium.

00:52:30.235 --> 00:52:37.460
<v Jeff>And then you soak that in alcohol, like 99% isopropyl alcohol.

00:52:39.542 --> 00:52:44.706
<v Jeff>And then you flip it over and you put it on a cookie sheet.

00:52:44.706 --> 00:52:46.250
<v Shannon>You flip the aquarium over?

00:52:46.250 --> 00:52:53.169
<v Jeff>Yeah. Oh, okay. So the alcohol's in the felt. And then you put that on a cookie sheet.

00:52:54.421 --> 00:53:00.566
<v Jeff>open side down and you put dry ice underneath the cookie sheet and The cold

00:53:00.566 --> 00:53:03.578
<v Jeff>yeah, the cold radiated radiates up through it.

00:53:03.578 --> 00:53:09.333
<v Jeff>It causes the alcohol vapors to condense So you actually it's like,

00:53:09.333 --> 00:53:14.036
<v Jeff>you know, those you know, it was super duper foggy Yeah in Maine you can in

00:53:14.036 --> 00:53:19.280
<v Jeff>the cloud chamber You can see the particulates of alcohol vapor and then so

00:53:19.280 --> 00:53:20.481
<v Jeff>it's a cloud whoop-dee-doo do.

00:53:20.842 --> 00:53:24.725
<v Jeff>Cool part is when high energy particles from outer space fly through it,

00:53:24.725 --> 00:53:26.586
<v Jeff>you see the little trails they leave. They zoop.

00:53:27.647 --> 00:53:29.989
<v Jeff>So you can see these little trails through the cloud.

00:53:30.309 --> 00:53:33.752
<v Greg>You literally see particles. Well, you see the effects of particles,

00:53:33.752 --> 00:53:36.454
<v Greg>but you see, you know, cosmic rays and stuff like that.

00:53:37.395 --> 00:53:44.760
<v Greg>You can, it's a way to actually demonstrably see subatomic physics right there.

00:53:45.461 --> 00:53:48.263
<v Greg>And it's real, it's real easy to do.

00:53:48.263 --> 00:53:53.507
<v Jeff>And you could also bring in your own sources of ionizing radiation,

00:53:53.507 --> 00:53:57.069
<v Jeff>like the smoke detectors that have americium in it.

00:53:57.390 --> 00:54:05.095
<v Greg>Yeah, I pulled apart one and you could see like the little helium alpha particles come out.

00:54:06.456 --> 00:54:12.660
<v Greg>So it's just, it's a cool thing, but take some space. You got to find dry ice, all that stuff.

00:54:13.322 --> 00:54:19.096
<v Greg>So a Peltier cooler is a thermocouple, basically, in reverse.

00:54:21.739 --> 00:54:27.924
<v Greg>It uses electricity to create a, you know, a hot surface, which then it causes

00:54:27.924 --> 00:54:28.944
<v Greg>there to be a cool surface.

00:54:29.625 --> 00:54:35.139
<v Greg>And so instead of, instead of using a dry ice, which is, you know,

00:54:35.139 --> 00:54:39.952
<v Greg>you have to get it, you can actually turn on your Peltiers and your fans.

00:54:39.952 --> 00:54:44.616
<v Greg>So your thing can cool down enough, but then you get it cold enough so that

00:54:44.616 --> 00:54:49.159
<v Greg>you can have a little surface that you can do the,

00:54:49.159 --> 00:54:52.201
<v Greg>to have your own little cloud chamber

00:54:52.201 --> 00:54:55.244
<v Greg>or like cloud, like it wouldn't be a chamber so much as sort of a...

00:54:56.065 --> 00:54:58.466
<v Greg>It's still a chamber. It's a smaller. Yeah.

00:54:58.466 --> 00:54:59.927
<v Jeff>They're more cylindrical, I think.

00:54:59.927 --> 00:55:06.232
<v Greg>It also requires light coming in it. Like you'd have light that's very close

00:55:06.232 --> 00:55:07.993
<v Greg>to the bottom in order for it to hit.

00:55:08.634 --> 00:55:13.197
<v Jeff>Yeah, you need a raking light that shines across it. So it illuminates the mist,

00:55:13.197 --> 00:55:16.780
<v Jeff>the vapors, the condensed vapor a certain way.

00:55:18.302 --> 00:55:23.005
<v Jeff>And yeah, it's really like, I mean, when we build it and like,

00:55:23.005 --> 00:55:24.486
<v Jeff>you're like, we're in the basement

00:55:24.486 --> 00:55:28.829
<v Jeff>and you know, these particles are still zipping through. It's wild.

00:55:30.550 --> 00:55:41.598
<v Jeff>One of the most like, wow, science things for me, of the science things we've done over the years,

00:55:42.159 --> 00:55:45.281
<v Jeff>when you got that first telescope, that three and a half inch telescope,

00:55:45.281 --> 00:55:50.665
<v Jeff>And we set it up and we saw Saturn's, Jupiter's moons.

00:55:53.438 --> 00:56:00.172
<v Jeff>I don't know, that was awe-inspiring for me. It was take your breath away kind of thing.

00:56:03.315 --> 00:56:09.140
<v Jeff>I can do science with a tool. Not just reading about Jupiter's moons or watching

00:56:09.140 --> 00:56:11.763
<v Jeff>it on YouTube, I'm looking at it right now.

00:56:15.880 --> 00:56:22.564
<v Jeff>Yeah, that made such a huge impression. Like, I mean, the solar eclipse was

00:56:22.564 --> 00:56:24.925
<v Jeff>better, but not just a bit.

00:56:24.925 --> 00:56:30.729
<v Greg>I mean, the solar eclipse, you could go see Jupiter almost any clear night. Yeah.

00:56:30.729 --> 00:56:36.773
<v Shannon>So speaking of stars and sky and space and everything,

00:56:36.773 --> 00:56:47.340
<v Shannon>tell Greg what we saw Sunday night when the fireworks were going off at camp. For the final night.

00:56:47.340 --> 00:56:52.323
<v Jeff>So at the end, previous years at Maker Camp, they had built this large wooden

00:56:52.323 --> 00:56:56.566
<v Jeff>thing and burned it in like, you know, Burning Man kind of style, right?

00:56:57.187 --> 00:57:00.168
<v Jeff>But this year they had expanded the number of tents and stuff,

00:57:00.168 --> 00:57:04.051
<v Jeff>I guess there wasn't room for the burn. So they had a small fireworks display.

00:57:04.492 --> 00:57:07.854
<v Jeff>And right in the middle of the fireworks display, Starlink flies by.

00:57:08.935 --> 00:57:15.972
<v Greg>It was awesome like a a chain like yeah Yeah,

00:57:15.972 --> 00:57:21.142
<v Greg>starlings like all in a row look at your train like a like a satellite train

00:57:21.142 --> 00:57:27.746
<v Greg>so it must have been recent Dave that they launched because normally After a while they spread out.

00:57:27.746 --> 00:57:33.008
<v Jeff>Okay at an arm's length. They were probably you know, like thumb to point your

00:57:33.008 --> 00:57:35.970
<v Jeff>finger apart Yeah, so it must have been really recent after a launch so.

00:57:36.010 --> 00:57:40.012
<v Shannon>Must have been then. It was really cool and I think.

00:57:41.420 --> 00:57:45.363
<v Shannon>It was very distracting. I mean, everybody was looking, well,

00:57:45.363 --> 00:57:51.688
<v Shannon>probably at least so many people were like, they were like in awe.

00:57:51.688 --> 00:57:57.032
<v Jeff>And I'm like, fucking light pollution, you know, because astronomers don't like

00:57:57.032 --> 00:58:00.554
<v Jeff>Starlink because they get in the way of your photographs and stuff like that.

00:58:00.554 --> 00:58:03.917
<v Greg>So, well, there are two reasons not to like Starlink.

00:58:03.917 --> 00:58:06.619
<v Greg>One is, yeah, they, they get in the way, but you can,

00:58:06.619 --> 00:58:12.903
<v Greg>but you know, We know enough about orbit you can accommodate for that Optics

00:58:12.903 --> 00:58:15.565
<v Greg>are good enough that you can and computers are good enough that you can take

00:58:15.565 --> 00:58:20.028
<v Greg>that away It's a you know amateur astronomers have a worse time with the professional

00:58:20.028 --> 00:58:23.490
<v Greg>astronomers but professional start we're still just don't like it because you know,

00:58:23.490 --> 00:58:33.397
<v Greg>the other problem is you're putting up a lot of items there and There there's

00:58:33.397 --> 00:58:39.261
<v Greg>a whole lot of space out there so it's not likely that things will collide but

00:58:39.261 --> 00:58:42.023
<v Greg>over time it kind of becomes inevitability.

00:58:43.064 --> 00:58:49.709
<v Greg>And then you get an area that is at least on like a particular orbit on a particular angle.

00:58:50.890 --> 00:58:51.650
<v Shannon>Over polluted.

00:58:51.650 --> 00:58:56.534
<v Greg>Over polluted. And you get sort of a mini Kessler syndrome type situation, which is not great.

00:58:56.534 --> 00:59:03.539
<v Greg>So Kessler syndrome is the idea that a whole bunch of orbital junk hits and

00:59:03.539 --> 00:59:06.541
<v Greg>you just get just shards of stuff everywhere. And so you can't even get off

00:59:06.541 --> 00:59:10.865
<v Greg>the planet anymore because nothing, can can go out without being hit by.

00:59:10.865 --> 00:59:14.227
<v Jeff>Two satellites crash and make a bunch of pieces and those pieces crash more

00:59:14.227 --> 00:59:17.690
<v Jeff>satellites. And then all of a sudden you have a cage over your head because you can't launch.

00:59:18.130 --> 00:59:22.714
<v Jeff>So that's, will it happen? I don't know.

00:59:23.434 --> 00:59:25.716
<v Jeff>I mean, the probability is pretty low at this point.

00:59:25.716 --> 00:59:30.579
<v Greg>Those things are also at a low enough altitude that most of,

00:59:30.579 --> 00:59:33.183
<v Greg>you know, even if stuff happened, most of the stuff would, would,

00:59:33.183 --> 00:59:35.087
<v Greg>after like five years or so, de-orbit.

00:59:35.990 --> 00:59:39.156
<v Greg>So it's not as huge a deal, but it is just like...

00:59:41.536 --> 00:59:46.720
<v Greg>It's one of those things where, if people aren't particularly careful,

00:59:46.720 --> 00:59:49.181
<v Greg>things can get out of hand pretty quickly.

00:59:50.323 --> 00:59:52.844
<v Shannon>Kind of like pollution here.

00:59:52.844 --> 00:59:53.324
<v Greg>Yes.

00:59:53.324 --> 00:59:53.865
<v Shannon>On earth.

00:59:55.907 --> 00:59:58.188
<v Jeff>All right, let's open up the Foul Mouthed.

00:59:58.188 --> 01:00:00.950
<v Greg>So.

01:00:00.950 --> 01:00:02.551
<v Shannon>You want my glass, sir?

01:00:02.551 --> 01:00:08.756
<v Greg>This is from Foul Mouth Brewing. This is another source of Flanders, Flanders Out Bruin.

01:00:09.777 --> 01:00:11.698
<v Greg>7% alcohol by volume, 18 IBU.

01:00:14.700 --> 01:00:19.183
<v Greg>I want you to do me a favor, Jeff. Could you read the description that's on

01:00:19.183 --> 01:00:22.945
<v Greg>there? And I'll read the description that's on Untappd, because I happen to

01:00:22.945 --> 01:00:25.027
<v Greg>know the description on Untappd is better. Okay.

01:00:27.169 --> 01:00:32.131
<v Jeff>So on the label, right underneath, on the side here, we set aside a portion

01:00:32.131 --> 01:00:37.335
<v Jeff>of surf squirrel brown ale every Thanksgiving season to be aged in port wine

01:00:37.335 --> 01:00:41.017
<v Jeff>barrels with fresh local cranberries for the following year's festivities.

01:00:41.738 --> 01:00:45.721
<v Jeff>We're thankful for all the wild yeast that ride in the barrels,

01:00:45.721 --> 01:00:50.965
<v Jeff>ride on the berries like a bunch of pilgrims. They make this beer great.".

01:00:52.586 --> 01:00:56.169
<v Greg>And that's cool. Like it's Falmouth Brewing making a very cool and good story.

01:00:56.169 --> 01:01:02.173
<v Greg>And I think I think that's nice. Here's what they have on untapped.

01:01:03.414 --> 01:01:06.476
<v Greg>Biscuity malts add a pleasant nutty flavor to this brown ale.

01:01:06.897 --> 01:01:14.282
<v Greg>Then we age it on cranberries because we are fucking Americans. Really? Yeah.

01:01:14.282 --> 01:01:15.142
<v Jeff>They're foul mouthed.

01:01:16.263 --> 01:01:17.504
<v Shannon>They're foul mouthed brewing.

01:01:17.504 --> 01:01:20.687
<v Greg>Yep, foul mouthed brewing. And so when I read that, I was like, that's fucking great.

01:01:22.908 --> 01:01:29.673
<v Jeff>This one was bottled. Oh no. They had the date backwards.

01:01:29.673 --> 01:01:32.635
<v Jeff>I thought it was bottled in 2014, which was impressive because I'm surprised

01:01:32.635 --> 01:01:38.479
<v Jeff>they were that old No, it's bottled in 2020 on 1014 bottled in 2020 2020 2020

01:01:38.479 --> 01:01:43.294
<v Jeff>So this is from far in the future. Yes.

01:01:47.312 --> 01:01:50.794
<v Shannon>I wonder if that 2020 will be like the 2020.

01:01:50.794 --> 01:01:53.296
<v Greg>Still using glass bottles for some reason.

01:01:54.728 --> 01:01:58.300
<v Jeff>Well, they sent it back on the time machine that it was invented in 2020, 19.

01:01:58.300 --> 01:02:07.787
<v Greg>I guess once you have a time machine, then I was going to say it only took him

01:02:07.787 --> 01:02:09.828
<v Greg>a year to send that, but I realized once you have a time machine.

01:02:09.828 --> 01:02:16.914
<v Greg>Yeah, it doesn't matter anymore. Oh. Okay,

01:02:16.914 --> 01:02:24.739
<v Greg>so we have a brown, hazy, and not because it's a hazy IP, it's hazy just because

01:02:24.739 --> 01:02:27.581
<v Greg>there's particulate matter in here.

01:02:27.581 --> 01:02:32.244
<v Shannon>It's floaties.

01:02:32.244 --> 01:02:37.408
<v Jeff>The aroma has that kind of Flanders-y tang, where there's kind of sweet tarts,

01:02:37.408 --> 01:02:42.010
<v Jeff>or I want to say I smell the cranberries too, but the tang is Flanders-y.

01:02:43.432 --> 01:02:45.333
<v Shannon>I smell chocolate covered cherries.

01:02:46.074 --> 01:02:49.756
<v Jeff>Yeah, you do. Yes. You're totally allowed to smell chocolate covered cherries.

01:02:49.756 --> 01:02:51.158
<v Greg>You do, and so do I.

01:02:53.250 --> 01:02:58.783
<v Greg>I smell, I smell Craig's cologne.

01:03:01.606 --> 01:03:05.128
<v Jeff>Had to be on the way up to Maker Camp to see Craig.

01:03:06.509 --> 01:03:08.871
<v Jeff>We stopped at Full Frog Brewing in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

01:03:09.672 --> 01:03:13.154
<v Jeff>And they had, I don't remember the name of it, they had two sour beers on.

01:03:13.154 --> 01:03:21.541
<v Jeff>I had the one, it tasted like, like the black forest cake, it tasted like cherries and the icing.

01:03:21.861 --> 01:03:26.505
<v Jeff>Oh my God, it was so good. And it wasn't a chocolate stout or anything like

01:03:26.505 --> 01:03:31.008
<v Jeff>that. It was a Flanders like this, but it just had those flavors that was like,

01:03:31.008 --> 01:03:34.990
<v Jeff>this is, this is really good.

01:03:43.401 --> 01:03:44.562
<v Shannon>It's not too sour.

01:03:46.884 --> 01:03:50.766
<v Shannon>I taste the dark chocolate. Oh, there,

01:03:53.599 --> 01:03:57.131
<v Shannon>it is. Okay. The cherry.

01:03:59.554 --> 01:04:05.177
<v Greg>Cranberries are an interesting fruit, right? Because you don't have them often.

01:04:06.779 --> 01:04:11.682
<v Greg>Generally because they're ridiculously tart. They're just too tart to eat on

01:04:11.682 --> 01:04:14.344
<v Greg>their own. like rhubarb, you gotta cook them.

01:04:18.828 --> 01:04:24.011
<v Greg>Um, there's a bit of that in here where, whoa, that's really tart.

01:04:24.011 --> 01:04:29.475
<v Greg>Not in the sense of it's like too tart and like, uh, you know,

01:04:29.475 --> 01:04:32.777
<v Greg>closing your lips like puckering thing, but in a sense of, Ooh,

01:04:32.777 --> 01:04:35.719
<v Greg>I can taste that over tart cranberry thing.

01:04:38.062 --> 01:04:41.104
<v Greg>Um, I don't think it goes overboard. I just do think it's there.

01:04:41.104 --> 01:04:44.706
<v Greg>And I think it's something to bring, you know, to the forefront.

01:04:44.706 --> 01:04:44.946
<v Jeff>Yeah.

01:04:49.871 --> 01:04:53.213
<v Jeff>The, it's good. I think the body's a little on the thin side for me.

01:04:53.213 --> 01:04:54.794
<v Jeff>I want a little more body to it.

01:04:54.794 --> 01:05:01.679
<v Shannon>Oh, see, I like it because it's not in your face sour. Right.

01:05:01.679 --> 01:05:04.441
<v Jeff>Well, my body, I want more chewiness to it. Yeah.

01:05:04.441 --> 01:05:08.684
<v Greg>I think this could do with a little bit more maltiness, you know,

01:05:08.684 --> 01:05:10.846
<v Greg>a little bit of sweetness to counter that tart.

01:05:10.846 --> 01:05:17.751
<v Greg>Um, and whenever I drink an Albrecht, of course, the first thing I compare it

01:05:17.751 --> 01:05:20.432
<v Greg>to is, is a Petrus. Cause I think that's sort of the, the archetypical.

01:05:22.274 --> 01:05:24.435
<v Greg>And I think the Petrus has more body.

01:05:24.816 --> 01:05:28.259
<v Jeff>This one has way less acidic to it than a lot of Flanders has,

01:05:28.259 --> 01:05:29.660
<v Jeff>right? This one's more bretty.

01:05:35.964 --> 01:05:38.666
<v Jeff>Um, what else? I mean, it's, yeah, I think it's mostly bread,

01:05:38.666 --> 01:05:42.308
<v Jeff>right? I mean, and then the tart comes from the fruit. Yeah.

01:05:42.308 --> 01:05:47.192
<v Greg>Yeah. But there's a lot of like, because the cranberry when you don't roast

01:05:47.192 --> 01:05:50.614
<v Greg>it, it's kind of tart and not much else. Yeah.

01:05:51.715 --> 01:05:55.417
<v Greg>And there's a bit of that cherry that comes through a bit of the berry stuff.

01:05:57.679 --> 01:06:01.061
<v Greg>But I mean, you couldn't do this with roasted cranberry because I bet that would

01:06:01.061 --> 01:06:02.262
<v Greg>just make the beer gross.

01:06:06.786 --> 01:06:10.589
<v Jeff>Maybe not all. Maybe a portion would be good, right?

01:06:10.589 --> 01:06:10.829
<v Greg>Yeah.

01:06:12.331 --> 01:06:16.393
<v Jeff>Remember this was aged in port wine barrels with a wild culture.

01:06:19.216 --> 01:06:25.000
<v Jeff>I think there's a subtle play of that kind of sweet wine kind of thing there.

01:06:25.621 --> 01:06:28.387
<v Jeff>Maybe I'm just hunting for it because I know there's port wine barrels.

01:06:28.387 --> 01:06:30.030
<v Jeff>I think there's a little bit in there.

01:06:30.672 --> 01:06:33.337
<v Jeff>Also a little bit of oak is apparent when you look for it.

01:06:35.494 --> 01:06:38.877
<v Greg>Another interesting thing about cranberries, well actually not really about

01:06:38.877 --> 01:06:43.381
<v Greg>cranberries, but sort of kind of related is I recently learned about apples. Okay.

01:06:45.043 --> 01:06:48.485
<v Greg>About, you know, Johnny apple seed and that whole thing in this country.

01:06:48.485 --> 01:06:53.189
<v Greg>So apples are not a true fruit or they, they aren't true to fruit,

01:06:53.189 --> 01:06:56.391
<v Greg>I should say, in the sense that you can't just take an apple and plant the seeds

01:06:56.391 --> 01:07:00.154
<v Greg>and get apples that taste like that.

01:07:00.154 --> 01:07:06.499
<v Greg>Okay. Um, apples in general, like first of all, the first apples were like cranberry,

01:07:06.499 --> 01:07:08.300
<v Greg>like ridiculously tart, tiny things.

01:07:09.341 --> 01:07:15.612
<v Greg>But most of the time, if you, you know, you plant various seeds of apples and

01:07:15.612 --> 01:07:19.689
<v Greg>you're going to get some gross fruit that tastes either nasty or just,

01:07:19.689 --> 01:07:22.541
<v Greg>it's just not what you want.

01:07:23.251 --> 01:07:28.955
<v Greg>And so almost, so all the apples that we get are, you know, they're cuttings

01:07:28.955 --> 01:07:32.598
<v Greg>that are made of the right apple fruit.

01:07:33.439 --> 01:07:39.923
<v Greg>And then there are places that do grow a lot of seeds and then one fruit out

01:07:39.923 --> 01:07:45.166
<v Greg>of a meadow of apple trees will be, okay, yeah, here we go, we found one.

01:07:46.007 --> 01:07:53.652
<v Greg>So it's weird that that's how new fruits like that are made by finding the one

01:07:53.652 --> 01:07:57.214
<v Greg>gem in a ridiculous amount of attempts

01:07:57.574 --> 01:08:01.678
<v Greg>And then just taking the cutting from that tree and cloning it over and over and over again.

01:08:01.828 --> 01:08:07.522
<v Jeff>And that's wild that, so apples are the pandas of the, the fruit tree world?

01:08:07.522 --> 01:08:11.305
<v Greg>Well, there, there are a bunch, there are, it's not just apples.

01:08:11.305 --> 01:08:17.330
<v Greg>Apples are just one of the many fruits that you can't just take seeds and, and grow and plant.

01:08:17.330 --> 01:08:23.134
<v Jeff>So you, I would have thought, I thought what you were going to say,

01:08:23.534 --> 01:08:26.537
<v Jeff>and I knew some of the Johnny Appleseed cuttings thing.

01:08:26.537 --> 01:08:31.220
<v Jeff>I thought you were going to say is that you can't just get a grocery store apple

01:08:31.220 --> 01:08:32.681
<v Jeff>and plant the seeds and get things.

01:08:32.681 --> 01:08:36.344
<v Jeff>I would have thought if you ordered, I would have thought you could have ordered

01:08:36.344 --> 01:08:40.287
<v Jeff>apple seeds from an apple seed supplier and got apple trees,

01:08:40.287 --> 01:08:41.568
<v Jeff>but it sounds like that's not a thing.

01:08:41.568 --> 01:08:45.671
<v Greg>I don't think it is. Like, unless the information I got was wrong,

01:08:45.671 --> 01:08:49.393
<v Greg>you know, I'm not a botanist, but there are definitely, there were a lot of

01:08:49.393 --> 01:08:53.655
<v Greg>fruits they mentioned that are like this, that you just can't, you can't just plant.

01:08:54.215 --> 01:08:59.425
<v Greg>I think oranges are like this too. You can't just plant a seed you get and say,

01:08:59.425 --> 01:09:04.838
<v Greg>yeah, I'm going to have an amazing tree that's going to give me amazing fruit.

01:09:04.838 --> 01:09:08.159
<v Jeff>I wonder if there'll be a mutation, like I wonder if anyone will ever find the

01:09:08.159 --> 01:09:11.700
<v Jeff>mutation of the apple tree where the seeds are.

01:09:13.179 --> 01:09:14.480
<v Jeff>Producing the good trees.

01:09:14.480 --> 01:09:18.783
<v Greg>That's a, that's a question for a botanist, really, whether that can happen.

01:09:19.083 --> 01:09:26.388
<v Greg>If a, if a fruit that is generally not true would, could turn into one that is true. Oh, okay.

01:09:29.261 --> 01:09:32.973
<v Jeff>I never heard the term true fruit before. I would have never thought about it as.

01:09:32.973 --> 01:09:34.595
<v Greg>True to fruit. I forget what exactly.

01:09:34.595 --> 01:09:36.896
<v Jeff>I would have never thought that.

01:09:38.598 --> 01:09:41.700
<v Greg>Um, that's why it was so crazy to me. Like it was, it was such a cool thing

01:09:41.700 --> 01:09:43.962
<v Greg>to learn. Cause I, I never thought. But yeah, I never thought that.

01:09:43.962 --> 01:09:51.448
<v Jeff>You would think the species of trees, or whatever's, but trees that don't generationally

01:09:51.448 --> 01:09:55.631
<v Jeff>produce edible food would be things we don't care about.

01:09:56.392 --> 01:09:58.253
<v Jeff>You know, things we never discovered.

01:09:59.794 --> 01:10:04.498
<v Jeff>Who found that one apple tree and be like, how many years does it take to realize

01:10:04.498 --> 01:10:07.400
<v Jeff>these seeds suck? I need to graft it, you know?

01:10:07.400 --> 01:10:11.563
<v Greg>Well, that's why apparently Johnny Appleseed went around just planting apples

01:10:11.563 --> 01:10:14.004
<v Greg>everywhere he could find some that were good.

01:10:14.004 --> 01:10:14.485
<v Jeff>Oh, okay.

01:10:14.925 --> 01:10:18.968
<v Greg>Right. And so that was a lot of his, you know, that was why he was going around

01:10:18.968 --> 01:10:23.731
<v Greg>making everybody plant apples because he wanted to find good apples.

01:10:23.731 --> 01:10:28.935
<v Greg>But when you think about it, your, your average a raccoon isn't going to care

01:10:28.935 --> 01:10:31.696
<v Greg>if this apple tastes like a golden delicious or not.

01:10:32.117 --> 01:10:35.339
<v Greg>It's, it's food for a period of time and that's what they care about.

01:10:35.339 --> 01:10:40.420
<v Greg>So the tree doesn't need to create a grocery store. apple, humans decided.

01:10:42.161 --> 01:10:47.963
<v Jeff>I get it, I'm not saying it's bad evolution, I'm just, it's just wild.

01:10:47.963 --> 01:10:49.404
<v Jeff>I would have thought the...

01:10:49.404 --> 01:10:54.586
<v Greg>The golden blitz is, by the way, one of the worst apples. Sorry.

01:10:54.586 --> 01:10:55.766
<v Jeff>Go ahead, sorry Jeff.

01:10:58.115 --> 01:11:01.738
<v Jeff>I was thinking like if it was such a rarity and

01:11:01.738 --> 01:11:05.321
<v Jeff>that's why I guess Johnny Appleseed was the one who you know just spent his

01:11:05.321 --> 01:11:12.226
<v Jeff>you know career trying to you know get enough graft stock to be able to you

01:11:12.226 --> 01:11:19.351
<v Jeff>know have apple orchards but um like if it's that much of a unicorn like how

01:11:19.351 --> 01:11:21.493
<v Jeff>did it even make it attention you know like

01:11:21.543 --> 01:11:25.136
<v Jeff>like how did enough people know that apples were something you'd you'd want to eat, you know?

01:11:26.767 --> 01:11:29.299
<v Greg>I, it happens like all fruits, right? Bananas.

01:11:29.299 --> 01:11:33.622
<v Jeff>But I guess, you know, crab apples, I mean, just cause you wouldn't eat them

01:11:33.622 --> 01:11:38.445
<v Jeff>like a grocery store apple. I know people can ferment crab apples.

01:11:38.445 --> 01:11:40.687
<v Jeff>You probably can bake with crab apples.

01:11:40.687 --> 01:11:43.589
<v Greg>Sure. Yeah. That's another thing that of course, apples were very good for making

01:11:43.589 --> 01:11:44.990
<v Greg>apple jack and all that kind of stuff.

01:11:44.990 --> 01:11:50.193
<v Greg>So it wasn't, so when you had apples, even if you couldn't make them into amazing

01:11:50.193 --> 01:11:55.677
<v Greg>pies and sell them on the grocery store or sell them at your corner market,

01:11:55.677 --> 01:11:59.580
<v Greg>you could make fermented beverages from them. And so there you go.

01:11:59.580 --> 01:12:06.085
<v Jeff>And also pre-refrigeration, you know, I mean, apples didn't last very long.

01:12:06.085 --> 01:12:10.408
<v Jeff>Apple pies didn't last very long. They mold, right? But apple cider, stable.

01:12:11.709 --> 01:12:16.392
<v Jeff>So, you know, as part of a necessity, and I thought that was part of the Johnny

01:12:16.392 --> 01:12:19.935
<v Jeff>Appleseed lore as well as it was mostly about cider.

01:12:19.935 --> 01:12:22.136
<v Greg>I'm sure that I'm not covering the entire story.

01:12:23.097 --> 01:12:27.801
<v Jeff>Yeah, I thought where you're going initially was grafting and cider making, but.

01:12:30.303 --> 01:12:31.323
<v Greg>Nope, just weird botany.

01:12:32.024 --> 01:12:41.411
<v Jeff>Weird botany. All right. Last beer, Fiddlehead, Imperial Hodad. Okay.

01:12:41.411 --> 01:12:46.775
<v Greg>So we're going from a couple of stowers to a stout, I think,

01:12:46.775 --> 01:12:48.395
<v Greg>right? Am I getting that right?

01:12:53.301 --> 01:12:56.322
<v Jeff>No, it's an IPA. Okay. Porter. Porter. Bourbon Barrel-Aged Porter with Coconut,

01:12:56.322 --> 01:12:58.164
<v Jeff>Cacao, Vanilla Bean, and Lactose.

01:12:58.164 --> 01:13:00.766
<v Greg>I had the page up, but not the right place. 9.5%,

01:13:03.408 --> 01:13:07.651
<v Greg>Alkali Volume, Heftier Base of their Ho-Dad Porter, Aged in Bourbon Barrels,

01:13:07.651 --> 01:13:10.693
<v Greg>Conditioned on Coconut, Cacao, Vanilla Bean, and Lactose.

01:13:12.735 --> 01:13:14.516
<v Greg>So expect us to have mouthfeel.

01:13:15.977 --> 01:13:17.578
<v Shannon>I expect it to be delicious.

01:13:20.940 --> 01:13:22.581
<v Greg>Head is uh where are they?

01:13:22.941 --> 01:13:23.721
<v Jeff>Stratford, Vermont.

01:13:23.721 --> 01:13:24.222
<v Shannon>Yeah.

01:13:24.222 --> 01:13:25.843
<v Jeff>Who else is from Stratford, Vermont?

01:13:25.843 --> 01:13:28.124
<v Shannon>Oh well, no one. Not Craig.

01:13:30.946 --> 01:13:31.586
<v Shannon>Not Craig.

01:13:31.586 --> 01:13:32.186
<v Jeff>I'm disappointed.

01:13:38.649 --> 01:13:42.652
<v Jeff>Alrighty this has one of those kind of frosted bottles. Oh, yeah fancy.

01:13:42.652 --> 01:13:46.034
<v Jeff>You want the extra mile with a Coating on the bottom.

01:13:49.276 --> 01:13:51.558
<v Jeff>No, this is just Frosted where the cap goes.

01:13:52.379 --> 01:13:59.483
<v Greg>Yeah, but now yeah, it is frosted cool Nose on this.

01:14:01.245 --> 01:14:05.728
<v Greg>Oh, yeah, and the lips too And the eyelashes

01:14:05.728 --> 01:14:09.630
<v Greg>Yeah dark very very

01:14:09.630 --> 01:14:19.338
<v Greg>dark barely as highlights if you hold up to the light It has oh Really like

01:14:19.338 --> 01:14:27.044
<v Greg>woody chocolate right up front bourbon II chocolate Urban barrel vanilla speaking

01:14:27.044 --> 01:14:29.506
<v Greg>through coconuts real throw in the nose.

01:14:35.535 --> 01:14:39.060
<v Shannon>Yeah Very heavy on the coconut actually, if you really stick your nose in there.

01:14:45.434 --> 01:14:49.577
<v Greg>Sticking your nose in there is one way to, to get the foam to go away.

01:14:49.577 --> 01:14:50.877
<v Jeff>Goodness. Remember that?

01:14:53.060 --> 01:14:55.121
<v Jeff>Oh, nose oil? Yeah. To make the foam go away.

01:14:56.242 --> 01:14:57.503
<v Shannon>That was a friend of yours, right?

01:14:57.503 --> 01:15:01.066
<v Greg>No, that was, that was a podcast that you were listening to and you were.

01:15:01.066 --> 01:15:01.426
<v Greg>It

01:15:03.518 --> 01:15:07.230
<v Greg>was either a podcast or a beer or a YouTube thing. I forget.

01:15:08.131 --> 01:15:13.195
<v Jeff>And you were complaining about it. We've, we've called back to, the story is somebody.

01:15:14.006 --> 01:15:16.998
<v Jeff>I thought it was a friend of Greg's. Greg thought it was something I saw.

01:15:16.998 --> 01:15:21.341
<v Jeff>I don't know. But somebody said, you know, if there's too much foam in your

01:15:21.341 --> 01:15:27.085
<v Jeff>beer, you can wipe your finger on your nose and then touch the foam and the

01:15:27.085 --> 01:15:31.168
<v Jeff>oils that you wipe off your nose will make the foam dissipate. Okay.

01:15:34.832 --> 01:15:36.953
<v Shannon>Well, it's probably true, but- It is true.

01:15:37.093 --> 01:15:40.976
<v Jeff>We're gonna have to like have AI search our back catalog to figure out where this came from.

01:15:40.976 --> 01:15:48.962
<v Greg>It'll hallucinate. Oh my gosh. I'm just smelling it.

01:15:50.104 --> 01:15:53.446
<v Greg>I'm getting even like a graham cracker thing with the chocolate,

01:15:53.446 --> 01:15:54.866
<v Greg>just a little marshmallow.

01:15:55.087 --> 01:15:59.110
<v Jeff>You should take a small sip because it's way better than it smells.

01:16:02.733 --> 01:16:06.145
<v Shannon>It's Stratford. It's Stratford, Vermont.

01:16:07.677 --> 01:16:11.899
<v Jeff>It has the things I'm looking for. It has the body, it has the booziness,

01:16:11.899 --> 01:16:19.305
<v Jeff>it has oaky flavors, it has vanilla, coconuts playing in there a little bit.

01:16:21.346 --> 01:16:22.226
<v Greg>That is exceptional.

01:16:22.787 --> 01:16:23.187
<v Shannon>Yeah.

01:16:25.169 --> 01:16:32.395
<v Greg>That is just so many good flavors on top of one another and in a way that's

01:16:32.395 --> 01:16:33.537
<v Greg>balanced. Very balanced.

01:16:33.537 --> 01:16:40.020
<v Jeff>It tastes like some of those burials that we brought back, but more integrated

01:16:40.020 --> 01:16:43.472
<v Jeff>and combined. More integrated.

01:16:43.472 --> 01:16:43.873
<v Greg>Yeah.

01:16:47.001 --> 01:16:50.204
<v Shannon>Please tell me you bought two of these bottles. Oh,

01:16:50.204 --> 01:16:56.028
<v Shannon>we got to go back Well fiddlehead's available in town now we just got to convince

01:16:56.028 --> 01:17:04.455
<v Shannon>them to yeah So this this is uh, definitely a bottle to go is 20 bucks totally worth it.

01:17:10.700 --> 01:17:14.562
<v Greg>Oh, oh, yeah Yeah, there's You know, a lot of times with, with,

01:17:14.562 --> 01:17:17.585
<v Greg>with some of this chocolate, how you can get like a little Tootsie Roll thing

01:17:17.585 --> 01:17:19.146
<v Greg>and artificial thing, there's none of that.

01:17:20.587 --> 01:17:26.150
<v Greg>Um, there is, you know, the cocoa nib thing, but, but in a way that's not overly

01:17:26.150 --> 01:17:27.902
<v Greg>bitter, but it is also bitter enough.

01:17:29.113 --> 01:17:37.178
<v Greg>There is the barrel, which is not over burdening the rest of the beer. It's not over oaking it.

01:17:37.178 --> 01:17:42.281
<v Shannon>Oh, it's just blends everything in.

01:17:42.281 --> 01:17:43.662
<v Greg>And really, as I said, exceptional.

01:17:43.662 --> 01:17:48.066
<v Jeff>When you were talking about the cocoa nibs, it reminded me of some of the,

01:17:48.066 --> 01:17:51.468
<v Jeff>you know, kind of artisanal chocolate bars, which have the nib chunks.

01:17:51.468 --> 01:17:54.710
<v Jeff>So instead of a Nestle Crunch bar with rice in it, it has the cocoa nibs.

01:17:54.710 --> 01:18:02.296
<v Jeff>But then the cocoa part is coming across almost like, imagine a good Hershey

01:18:02.296 --> 01:18:04.777
<v Jeff>syrup, right? Where it has kind of that soft, that smoothness,

01:18:04.777 --> 01:18:09.361
<v Jeff>meltiness to it, you know? Like if you had like dark chocolate syrup.

01:18:10.261 --> 01:18:16.166
<v Greg>Yes, it's not milk chocolate, but it's not overly bitter, but it's bitter enough

01:18:16.166 --> 01:18:19.628
<v Greg>that it's not like, this is too sweet.

01:18:21.510 --> 01:18:23.251
<v Jeff>I bet you Craig would like this.

01:18:24.592 --> 01:18:25.873
<v Greg>Well, Craig isn't here, is he?

01:18:32.358 --> 01:18:37.681
<v Shannon>So, this reminds me of dark chocolate-covered coffee beans.

01:18:37.982 --> 01:18:39.384
<v Jeff>Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:18:40.087 --> 01:18:41.749
<v Greg>This reminds me of Craig's tears.

01:18:50.770 --> 01:18:54.473
<v Greg>Yeah, that's really, really good. I'm going to spend my time with this one.

01:18:54.473 --> 01:18:56.735
<v Jeff>We could work on our rankings while we're enjoying this.

01:18:56.735 --> 01:18:57.125
<v Greg>Yeah.

01:18:57.125 --> 01:18:59.657
<v Shannon>Yeah. Well, I know where my ranking on this one is.

01:18:59.657 --> 01:19:03.359
<v Greg>Okay. Well, yeah. So founders number one, obviously.

01:19:15.288 --> 01:19:19.111
<v Jeff>I'm guessing we're probably going to have like matching. I mean,

01:19:19.111 --> 01:19:23.434
<v Jeff>I'm not going to put words in people's mouths, but I think there's gaps between

01:19:23.434 --> 01:19:27.818
<v Jeff>most of these beers. Maybe one or two, we might flip-flop, but I think we have

01:19:27.818 --> 01:19:30.139
<v Jeff>a pretty close ranking here.

01:19:33.983 --> 01:19:40.828
<v Greg>Yeah, I mean, you know what? I will maybe do this.

01:19:42.730 --> 01:19:51.177
<v Jeff>As is your prerogative. Hmm. Interesting.

01:19:51.177 --> 01:19:55.580
<v Shannon>Hmm What one was this one this was the oh that was the cranberry one.

01:19:55.580 --> 01:20:01.111
<v Greg>Yeah cranberry, okay Huh,

01:20:01.111 --> 01:20:12.353
<v Greg>yeah, I might even I might even do this What No way No, he's a lot.

01:20:12.353 --> 01:20:13.754
<v Jeff>Don't don't guilt him.

01:20:13.754 --> 01:20:17.737
<v Shannon>I'm not I'm just shocked Why don't you go Gregson?

01:20:17.737 --> 01:20:18.497
<v Greg>I'm shocked too.

01:20:19.158 --> 01:20:21.540
<v Jeff>You're since you got him lined up. Let's knock him down.

01:20:21.540 --> 01:20:22.340
<v Greg>All right.

01:20:22.340 --> 01:20:28.031
<v Shannon>Well, let me Get a picture in a picture Make sure you get all the background

01:20:28.031 --> 01:20:34.610
<v Shannon>bullshit post the picture I'll make sure to get up there for my reference and I'm creating a,

01:20:35.270 --> 01:20:41.554
<v Shannon>fruit flies in this one Don't know why he don't post the pictures though for people to see the balls.

01:20:41.554 --> 01:20:43.156
<v Jeff>Mm-hmm.

01:20:43.156 --> 01:20:51.300
<v Greg>All right in last place We have our French toast bastard who is a French toast bastard.

01:20:51.300 --> 01:20:53.102
<v Shannon>Yeah, he's a bastard.

01:20:53.102 --> 01:21:02.788
<v Greg>We we Kind of the opposite of the Imperial Like everything way off balance and

01:21:02.788 --> 01:21:07.070
<v Greg>and overdone and artificial artificial and

01:21:07.270 --> 01:21:09.371
<v Greg>just like not well thought out.

01:21:11.292 --> 01:21:13.233
<v Jeff>And just like, but it went for it.

01:21:14.733 --> 01:21:19.995
<v Greg>But it went for it. And there was a sip or two where you're like,

01:21:19.995 --> 01:21:21.696
<v Greg>OK, and then that's kind of it.

01:21:23.347 --> 01:21:27.630
<v Jeff>But it's the only beer that we left some in the bottle. Yeah, it's over half full.

01:21:28.301 --> 01:21:33.495
<v Jeff>I only poured enough so we can taste it. Yeah, I know, because I knew exactly

01:21:33.495 --> 01:21:34.556
<v Jeff>how this was going to go down.

01:21:35.867 --> 01:21:42.282
<v Greg>So this might you know, this is I think this is to the table a little bit shocking

01:21:42.282 --> 01:21:44.783
<v Greg>to people, I think. But to me, it makes sense.

01:21:45.484 --> 01:21:49.327
<v Greg>Schubert rate for I think that it was really confusing as well.

01:21:49.327 --> 01:21:53.010
<v Greg>I was very just like. I was like,

01:21:53.010 --> 01:21:59.774
<v Greg>not, not sure what I was supposed to be tasting and it really hurt it.

01:21:59.774 --> 01:22:07.880
<v Greg>Like if anything, the thing that would drag it forward is how cool the idea is and the label, right?

01:22:08.440 --> 01:22:11.322
<v Greg>All that stuff's great, but it's the beer that matters.

01:22:14.405 --> 01:22:17.426
<v Greg>Then another thing that I think is, is a little bit different than what you

01:22:17.426 --> 01:22:22.337
<v Greg>guys might think because I'm going to put the liquid leftovers next because

01:22:22.337 --> 01:22:28.388
<v Greg>the thinness and the over tartness didn't,

01:22:28.388 --> 01:22:34.680
<v Greg>didn't sit as well with me as I might have wanted as, as, as I, as I did want.

01:22:34.680 --> 01:22:42.296
<v Greg>And I felt like it, it felt like it was missing a couple of pieces.

01:22:43.427 --> 01:22:51.773
<v Greg>It felt like a puzzle that was incomplete and The Prison City Brewing, it wasn't incomplete.

01:22:52.093 --> 01:22:55.396
<v Greg>It was perfectly drinkable. It was fine. It was just that there was not much

01:22:55.396 --> 01:22:56.476
<v Greg>to write home about there.

01:22:57.737 --> 01:23:03.101
<v Greg>It was, but it, but it was fine. There was nothing bad about it.

01:23:03.101 --> 01:23:04.182
<v Greg>There wasn't any off flavors.

01:23:04.522 --> 01:23:09.366
<v Greg>It was just, we were like, you know, expecting great things and there is not

01:23:09.366 --> 01:23:13.709
<v Greg>much there. Yeah. But I think it was better than the other stuff in terms of

01:23:13.709 --> 01:23:14.729
<v Greg>the drinkability for me.

01:23:15.830 --> 01:23:20.113
<v Greg>Next, then we just, you know, then we, we leap over a gap and,

01:23:20.113 --> 01:23:24.856
<v Greg>and, you know, now you have, uh, the cool ship, which was great.

01:23:25.577 --> 01:23:29.569
<v Greg>And the Imperial HODAD, which is just top notch.

01:23:30.160 --> 01:23:35.423
<v Greg>Like, uh, I would absolutely recommend this to anybody, uh, probably both of

01:23:35.423 --> 01:23:43.068
<v Greg>these, but the Imperial HODAD, especially that that's everything I would have wanted out of this beer.

01:23:43.068 --> 01:23:45.848
<v Greg>It gave me. Yeah. That's something.

01:23:45.848 --> 01:23:52.430
<v Jeff>Yup. Would you like me to go or would you like to go? Go ahead. Alright.

01:23:54.371 --> 01:23:57.232
<v Jeff>I'm calling an audible. I'm actually changing an opinion.

01:23:59.212 --> 01:24:00.333
<v Jeff>You can't do that!

01:24:08.042 --> 01:24:12.744
<v Jeff>But here's the shocking part. What? Boop, boop, boop. I'll tell you why. I have justification.

01:24:15.506 --> 01:24:16.627
<v Jeff>Let me get the photograph.

01:24:21.010 --> 01:24:22.151
<v Shannon>Would you like me to turn the bottom?

01:24:22.151 --> 01:24:25.653
<v Jeff>I got it. I just need a hint when I'm putting the notes together.

01:24:26.094 --> 01:24:32.878
<v Jeff>All right, last place. The founders. They... As soon as Shannon brought it home,

01:24:32.878 --> 01:24:34.579
<v Jeff>I'm like, oh, I know what this is.

01:24:35.881 --> 01:24:42.526
<v Jeff>No, they do, or at least they used to, like KBS, the breakfast stout in bourbon

01:24:42.526 --> 01:24:48.811
<v Jeff>barrels, CBS, the breakfast stout in maple syrup barrels, Canadian breakfast stout.

01:24:50.452 --> 01:24:53.234
<v Jeff>Those were things back in the day. Who knows if they're still good.

01:24:53.995 --> 01:24:59.379
<v Jeff>But yeah, this is kind of like the next thing. Okay, well, we can't have waffles with our CBS.

01:24:59.620 --> 01:25:04.283
<v Jeff>Let's make French toast scotch ale. Okay. No, thank you.

01:25:05.584 --> 01:25:08.526
<v Jeff>I'm gonna put the Prison City in fifth place.

01:25:11.769 --> 01:25:14.631
<v Jeff>You know, my glass was tainted by French toast.

01:25:15.532 --> 01:25:21.797
<v Jeff>Shannon's glass, when I tasted it, was kind of murky and non-distinct,

01:25:21.797 --> 01:25:24.599
<v Jeff>and maybe just the flight killed it.

01:25:24.980 --> 01:25:26.961
<v Jeff>For me, it didn't bring anything interesting.

01:25:30.224 --> 01:25:33.977
<v Jeff>Maybe if I had another bottle of this I drank it on the couch while watching YouTube.

01:25:34.327 --> 01:25:39.511
<v Jeff>I'd say that this is a fantastic reset, but I didn't have that experience tonight to be able to say that.

01:25:40.412 --> 01:25:43.594
<v Jeff>I'm gonna put the 8.4 in fourth place.

01:25:45.476 --> 01:25:50.840
<v Jeff>I thought it was better than it came across for Greg. I do agree,

01:25:50.840 --> 01:25:51.900
<v Jeff>it was a little confusing.

01:25:52.321 --> 01:25:55.503
<v Jeff>There could have been a stronger through line and a main point on that,

01:25:55.503 --> 01:26:00.906
<v Jeff>but I do like how it developed before my sample was gone.

01:26:00.906 --> 01:26:04.949
<v Jeff>got the body that I wanted and those, those fleshy tropicals,

01:26:04.949 --> 01:26:09.011
<v Jeff>the papayas and guavas were coming through and I'm a big fan of those flavors.

01:26:10.712 --> 01:26:13.474
<v Jeff>Gonna put the foul mouth in third place.

01:26:16.488 --> 01:26:20.110
<v Jeff>Really close. I was debating whether to put the 8-4 up into third place,

01:26:20.110 --> 01:26:25.774
<v Jeff>but I put the foul mouth there The cranberries I thought added tartness that

01:26:25.774 --> 01:26:27.536
<v Jeff>wasn't otherwise in the beer.

01:26:27.536 --> 01:26:34.020
<v Jeff>So it seemed kind of balanced to me It was curious how it was more Brett-forward

01:26:34.020 --> 01:26:39.644
<v Jeff>than like Flanders culture forward where there was missing the acetic acid that

01:26:39.644 --> 01:26:40.905
<v Jeff>kind of tartness You know,

01:26:40.905 --> 01:26:45.929
<v Jeff>it did not come across like sweet tarts like most Flanders do I'm going to put

01:26:45.929 --> 01:26:49.632
<v Jeff>the Imperial Houdat in second place.

01:26:50.413 --> 01:26:59.989
<v Jeff>It's freaking delicious. I have one third of 500 milliliters and like, I have enough.

01:26:59.989 --> 01:27:05.784
<v Jeff>I don't really want more where if I could get a second bottle of that Cool Shivery

01:27:05.784 --> 01:27:07.945
<v Jeff>Surgium right now, I would drink it right now.

01:27:08.286 --> 01:27:13.069
<v Jeff>So like, because when we're drinking, we're talking about how this was the goose

01:27:13.069 --> 01:27:18.353
<v Jeff>that you want. It's not too tart, has the complexity.

01:27:18.673 --> 01:27:24.418
<v Jeff>So to me, that's the combination of those things where the flavors in the houdet

01:27:24.418 --> 01:27:28.861
<v Jeff>are delicious and very, very, very well integrated.

01:27:29.402 --> 01:27:39.389
<v Jeff>I still find that the allagash is also just as expertly put together and it leaves me wanting more.

01:27:39.789 --> 01:27:46.214
<v Shannon>That makes sense. I'm not gonna let you sway me, but that makes total sense.

01:27:48.415 --> 01:27:49.516
<v Shannon>It's kind of swayable.

01:27:49.516 --> 01:27:50.637
<v Jeff>You're getting swayed, aren't you?

01:27:53.299 --> 01:27:56.240
<v Jeff>Yeah, because- What you said doesn't change my ranking, but it might change

01:27:56.240 --> 01:27:57.841
<v Jeff>my fuck Mary. Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:28:04.768 --> 01:28:07.849
<v Shannon>All right, I believe we're- Here you go first place.

01:28:08.289 --> 01:28:17.116
<v Shannon>Yeah first place definitely See

01:28:17.116 --> 01:28:30.686
<v Shannon>that's I can arrange the bottles and get the photo That one and then The No,

01:28:30.686 --> 01:28:35.372
<v Shannon>no there Yeah, there, there, and there, yeah, there.

01:28:38.887 --> 01:28:40.848
<v Jeff>So this is the favorite part.

01:28:40.848 --> 01:28:49.573
<v Greg>Oh, yeah, just everybody loves is glued. They're like their ears are glued to to their pockets.

01:28:49.573 --> 01:28:52.114
<v Jeff>It never either. They hear the bottles clanking, man.

01:28:53.055 --> 01:28:57.497
<v Greg>They're they're they're sticking so hard and they're they're trying so much.

01:28:57.497 --> 01:29:00.039
<v Greg>And yes, just as fumbling around. Yeah, it is.

01:29:02.321 --> 01:29:10.956
<v Shannon>So, um, in last place, surprisingly, we have the bastard of all bastards,

01:29:10.956 --> 01:29:14.848
<v Shannon>the French toast. You haven't tried.

01:29:14.848 --> 01:29:17.710
<v Jeff>Actually, she hasn't. We'll have to get a bottle.

01:29:20.974 --> 01:29:24.936
<v Shannon>Well, that's, that sucks. It was very disappointing. I don't know.

01:29:24.936 --> 01:29:28.138
<v Greg>I saw it in the store.

01:29:28.919 --> 01:29:33.383
<v Shannon>And I was like, ooh, French toast, breakfast, you know.

01:29:33.383 --> 01:29:36.345
<v Jeff>So we were day drinking at Maker Camp.

01:29:36.345 --> 01:29:37.346
<v Shannon>Oh yeah.

01:29:37.346 --> 01:29:40.688
<v Jeff>And I pulled one of these, we had a four pack, and I'm like,

01:29:40.688 --> 01:29:42.810
<v Jeff>I'm gonna give her one of these. And she started to drink it,

01:29:42.810 --> 01:29:46.152
<v Jeff>and then she saw what it is, and then she saw it was 11%. And she's like,

01:29:46.152 --> 01:29:48.934
<v Jeff>I gotta do more. I gotta make shit.

01:29:49.615 --> 01:29:53.057
<v Shannon>I gotta work with tools. I'm about to TIG weld. We're gonna weld.

01:29:53.057 --> 01:29:57.360
<v Shannon>I can't TIG weld with an 11%. Well, I can't take well with a with an 11% sound

01:29:57.360 --> 01:30:01.883
<v Shannon>like a good idea No, it doesn't sound like neither does axe.

01:30:01.883 --> 01:30:08.627
<v Jeff>Sorry, and we did that It wasn't ad hoc excellent it was in a trailer with the

01:30:08.627 --> 01:30:15.938
<v Jeff>fence like it was Supervised but it was the kind of place where you'd expect

01:30:15.938 --> 01:30:21.862
<v Jeff>someone just roll out some stumps and be just throwing axes in a crowd I mean it was Well,

01:30:21.862 --> 01:30:27.531
<v Jeff>there is that moment when we did have the Redneck Games going on, okay?

01:30:28.011 --> 01:30:31.352
<v Shannon>I felt like I was back at home in Brooksville.

01:30:33.303 --> 01:30:38.046
<v Shannon>The entire week that we were there really because every night when I mean there

01:30:38.046 --> 01:30:46.612
<v Shannon>was a party every night um And a bonfire every night and they got bigger As the day is gone and and,

01:30:47.563 --> 01:30:52.055
<v Shannon>the parties got bigger and and Yeah,

01:30:52.055 --> 01:30:59.500
<v Shannon>things got crazy, but you played a game played stump you did It's a bar game

01:30:59.500 --> 01:31:04.103
<v Shannon>where you have a stump and a nail and a hammer and you try to drive the nail

01:31:04.103 --> 01:31:06.165
<v Shannon>in, like, the whole way with one hit.

01:31:06.545 --> 01:31:09.507
<v Jeff>There's different variations of the game. We were playing an elimination version

01:31:09.507 --> 01:31:15.531
<v Jeff>of the game, where you had to flip the hammer and catch it. However you catch

01:31:15.531 --> 01:31:19.053
<v Jeff>it is how you had to swing it. So if you made a bad catch, you're going to have an awkward swing.

01:31:19.474 --> 01:31:22.856
<v Jeff>And then you hit someone else's nail and it's a last man standing.

01:31:22.856 --> 01:31:26.018
<v Jeff>If your nail's not buried totally in the stump, you win.

01:31:27.199 --> 01:31:35.004
<v Shannon>This stomp that I have pictures of it it was It's almost as big as this kitchen

01:31:35.004 --> 01:31:39.527
<v Shannon>table, yeah, and it was this It was huge.

01:31:39.808 --> 01:31:42.690
<v Shannon>This tree had been like 18 inches deep.

01:31:43.050 --> 01:31:48.494
<v Jeff>Yeah, and It wasn't quite circular, but it was over three feet in diameter.

01:31:48.494 --> 01:31:53.538
<v Shannon>Oh, well, yeah, because I couldn't reach over it I couldn't even reach half,

01:31:53.538 --> 01:31:55.739
<v Shannon>I might have been able to reach halfway.

01:31:55.739 --> 01:31:59.042
<v Greg>For those of you who know metric, look it up.

01:32:00.923 --> 01:32:09.540
<v Shannon>Okay, back to my, my, um, surprising, uh, evaluation of these wonderful beers

01:32:09.540 --> 01:32:11.865
<v Shannon>that we had. Last Place Founders.

01:32:13.426 --> 01:32:20.531
<v Shannon>Number what how many we have six? No. So number five we had the Prison City.

01:32:20.531 --> 01:32:28.297
<v Shannon>Yeah. Yeah I Was really surprised I thought that one was gonna be good,

01:32:28.297 --> 01:32:31.400
<v Shannon>but it just I don't know I just didn't have a lot of flavors.

01:32:31.400 --> 01:32:39.866
<v Shannon>It was very muted like Greg said in third fourth Wait, where am I fourth place? face.

01:32:47.052 --> 01:32:52.295
<v Shannon>The Shubaru's 8-4. Yeah. Which also surprised me because like I said,

01:32:52.295 --> 01:32:58.800
<v Shannon>I just had this a few weeks ago on tap and I had two of them and I really enjoyed it.

01:32:58.800 --> 01:33:00.320
<v Greg>Probably was a lot fresher on tap.

01:33:00.320 --> 01:33:04.884
<v Shannon>That's my explanation. Yeah. But it's up against a- You're so confusing.

01:33:05.364 --> 01:33:10.208
<v Shannon>She put numbers on her notes, but she- The numbers- numbers backwards so her

01:33:10.208 --> 01:33:15.211
<v Shannon>number one beer is her last the first beer she's going to read the number one

01:33:15.211 --> 01:33:19.394
<v Shannon>is that number is the first one we tasted tasted i

01:33:19.765 --> 01:33:26.880
<v Shannon>the numbers are how we went in the order so yeah although one and two are are

01:33:26.880 --> 01:33:31.603
<v Shannon>six and five okay that's funny um all right So in third place,

01:33:31.603 --> 01:33:35.386
<v Shannon>then we have, uh, what was this?

01:33:35.866 --> 01:33:38.827
<v Greg>The liquid. The fuck you from, from motherfucker.

01:33:38.827 --> 01:33:39.947
<v Jeff>What's it called?

01:33:39.947 --> 01:33:41.452
<v Shannon>The foul mouth.

01:33:41.452 --> 01:33:42.958
<v Greg>The foul mouth.

01:33:42.958 --> 01:33:48.049
<v Shannon>The foul mouth. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It, um, it just, it was really good,

01:33:48.049 --> 01:33:51.150
<v Shannon>but dumbed down a little bit.

01:33:51.840 --> 01:33:58.032
<v Shannon>I did really like the, if I, I think if it wasn't for the cranberries,

01:33:58.032 --> 01:34:04.273
<v Shannon>It really wouldn't have much of that tartness that you expect and the sour.

01:34:07.334 --> 01:34:12.237
<v Shannon>And I don't know, it was good though. But yeah, it's up against a tough crowd.

01:34:12.237 --> 01:34:15.760
<v Shannon>So second place, we have the cool shit.

01:34:20.603 --> 01:34:22.945
<v Shannon>Almost swayed, but there's still the...

01:34:24.086 --> 01:34:25.286
<v Jeff>It's all right, babe.

01:34:25.286 --> 01:34:32.212
<v Shannon>Yeah. And then first, of course, that hoedown, which I'm still drinking.

01:34:34.203 --> 01:34:37.535
<v Shannon>But I agree. Like, you can't drink a lot of it.

01:34:38.556 --> 01:34:42.499
<v Shannon>It was like that Pizza Boy one that I had, the sunny side up.

01:34:43.800 --> 01:34:49.083
<v Jeff>Oh, it was coffee barrel, sunny side up. Yeah. Sunny, coffee style.

01:34:49.083 --> 01:34:49.243
<v Greg>Yeah.

01:34:49.243 --> 01:34:57.268
<v Shannon>It was a coffee style and that was excellent, but it was like this, you know?

01:34:59.130 --> 01:35:05.173
<v Shannon>And it just, It's full of flavors and they were blended so perfectly together

01:35:05.173 --> 01:35:08.916
<v Shannon>But you really can't drink a lot of it.

01:35:08.916 --> 01:35:13.158
<v Greg>It's true. It's true and Because you said that in for my fuck Mary kills,
