Congratulations on your new brewing equipment πŸ˜€ πŸ‘

Unfortunately, I will not be joining you as the recent price increases make it too expensive. We just had a 31.5% increase on the 20L here in the US.

Well here's a big FUCK YOU to both Trump tariffs and morebeer.com. I put a Braumeister system and a hood into my cart a couple of days ago, emailed them to see when stock would arrive and when I looked today the prices had changed:

20L System from 2279.99 to 2999.99 (31.5%)
20l Hood from 141.30 to 219.99 (55.7%)

WTAF ?

My wife asked me once, if I am so uncomfortable with strangers, why do I sometimes go to a bar and engage in conversation with people I have never met? My answer is that everyone craves social contact at some level, and that the fact I have never seen them before, and probably never will again, somehow makes it easier to interact with them. It reduces the stress by a huge amount for me.

Unfortunately, masking, while very stressful, is a necessary part of dealing with the #neurotypical people out there.

Even with masking, so many of us are socially awkward, or just cannot socialize at all.

@autismunicorn
I find that even though people know you are #neurodivergent, they don't know enough about it to make you comfortable. The only people I am truly comfortable with is family members who are also #AuDHD. Those who are not expect you to adapt to them rather than them trying to accommodate your way of thinking.

I really like barrel-aged sours. There is a craft brewery here (Monday Night Brewing) that makes one aged in Sherry and Port barrels. $14 per 500ml bottle. Worth every penny!

From the label: "This sour brown ale spends at least 12 months in Sherry and Port barrels before blending. A Flanders-style Old Bruin, this refreshing sipper features a delicate malty sweetness intertwined with a bright acidity. Expect subtle Cherry and Caramel notes on the palate to round it out."

@brudibrau
I keep asking myself: How many really good beers can you buy for $2300?
Stupid question, right?
@brudibrau
I’m looking at the 20L. I have 20l kegs. For some strange reason it’s cheaper than the 10L here, but the 20 is out of stock. Will see what happens when new ones arrive.
@brudibrau Technolust wins again 😁
Which model are you getting?
Coding then and now:`printf(` -> `print(f`
