Do Not Smell the Bucket
This posting coincides with the bottling of the Baltic Porter Revisited. Sanitized everything, then racked the beer out of the fermenter and into the bottling bucket. Grabbed a glass in midstream and that's when everything turned sour..or should I say "yeasty"? Ok, yeasty,
The Rook happened to be making a pot of coffee so we figured "hey, why not throw some coffee in there to try to salvage this porter?" And with that Thunder Boomer created its first Coffee Porter. It smells really gross. I think Thunder might be the only one drinking this porter too. maybe we should stay away from the porters for a while.

Mean comment Thunder - not in the vein of TB. We boiled the coffee to sterilize it, didn't seem like a bad idea actually considering the odor was so pungent. I can't say it helped or hurt.
Hello
Sorry about the last one. I was doing a test. and yes, I am sorry about the other comment. what i meant to say was, what the poop. because I am not sure how sanitary a cup of joe is...I guess my thought was that it would definitely have bacteria already in it, unless it was fresh and you made sure that the water was boiled before pouring it over fresh groud coffee grinds. I dunno. Regardless, I trust that you guys thought about all of this and decided it was worth the plunge due to the yeastie flavor that was hanging around like a bad yahtzee game.
I got all antsy in my pantsy.
Rook bestowed a whole case of this stuff to me the other night. I am excited to utterly ruin my desire for porters. And to stock the fridge with a few in case people I don't like (cough the Bush Admin cough cough) come over. Suck down this!
