What are you drinking right now?

I got an early taste at my Quad tonight, whooooaa, I think I knocked it out of the park. Big, Belgiany, boozy, brown. delicious. I need to give myself some credit. I'm upset though now I know how good it is. How long do you think I can keep it in the cellar? My plan was to bottle for 12 months, at least.

Westmalle Tripel - considering doing a trappistbier in the near future and am doing research...yeah, that's it Happy b-day OMB.

just recommending, check out Candi Syrup's website, they have a ton of good Trappist clone recipes involving their Candi syrup. I used it for my quad and was super satisfied. Here's the whole list: http://www.candisyrup.com/recipes.html .. I know they have the Westmalle beers on there.

Stash it where you won't see it. I have a large crawl space (5ft) so I put them under there and just have a list I can druell over in brewery!

Could use some thawing out, its 1degree Fahrenheit this morning.
Will cool down about 5 degrees more by daybreak.

I wouldn't know what snow looked like except from pictures I see on net and TV one day I'll go to NZ and check it out I wouldn't know what to do with myself in it.

Snow loses its novelty for me after less than a day , how can I keep my healthy bronzed Aussie image going in snow gear ?

Trialben, it has been close to 80F here in Texas, though today will not rise above 60F. We have had only 4-5 days below freezing since November.

I would kill for some Winter.

I spent several weeks diving in Queensland in August half a lifetime ago. Your "Winter" did not seem too different from a Texas Summer.

you can have mine, 20's at night wind chills to 10F

This morning was 6 degrees F with 15mph wind and snowing. I like snow but really?

 

[Nosybear]

We're in Leadville, Colorado. It's balmy 29 degrees at Copper Mountain, warm for this time of year. They've had 130 inches of snow in January, my kind of weather! I'll be sliding down the hill several times today. Sweet!

Not to continue the derailment of the the thread, but...
I grew up in the NE US where winter is winter (snow, cold, etc, etc), but not too bad, so I grew enjoying what winter had to offer (skiing, skating, sledding, ice fishing, and so on)...
...then I spent 3.5 months in Winter Park, CO in the dead of winter...and left never wanting to see snow again! The skiing was amazing, but after that long of up to my eyeballs in snow, I'd had enough.
"Winter" in Christchuch, NZ for the 4 years I was there, on the other hand, was just about perfect for me. I could rock climb right through the winter, it almost never snowed, and if I really wanted to ski, I just had to head an hour inland.
