FUGGIT
26 fugging bottles have exploded, more than 40 fugging litres of fugging
waka-bi-ru have fugging spilt all over the fugging tatami in the fugging
brewing room (that's brewing shrine to you),
and I've got a fugging hanami party scheduled in less than 10 days and
my parents are supposed to fugging stay in the fugging apartment in less
than 20!
I'm fuggged. And there's not even a goldfish around to take it out on.
What to fugging do? How do I replace 12 tatami in 9 days (less in
possible) without letting the fugging landlord know?

My sympathies about the beer.
As me sez, a tatamiya should handle this without a hitch.
We recently got 10 done, cost us 4 man for the good stuff (the bargain
crapola jobby would have run about 2 man).
It was done in two days, and the guy hauled them out and in in about a
30-minute stint each way. That should be pretty easy to get by under your
landlord's nose. And if it doesn't, so what? You're getting them resurfaced
anyway, right?

Problems:
1) There are another 4 dozen unexploded (yet) bottles. You think I want
to try moving them? Disasters only occur in threes.
2) Landlord lives in same building.
3) I'm away tomorrow, and from Friday.

I still owe Bwyan and Rodney (well Rodney's wife to be exact) a few
bottles too :-(

I paid 9 man to have 2 of the rooms converted to wooden flooring when I
moved in. Do you think I had the foresight to do 3 rooms? Its enuff to
drive a man to drink.

I'll see if it can be done quickly (or at night I guess). The
resurfacing, eventually it would happen I guess. I'd prefer to postpone
the outlay as long as possible, but I don't know that I can now.

Pop a cooler over top of the beers.
Slide a board under the cooler and scoop up the beers.
Get them out of the apartment and into a controlled explosion-friendly
environment.

See my other post.

Get him to come in day after tomorrow, and deliver them the day you get
back.

Which one of the those 2 actions might be Disaster #2?

Ahh yeah, the balcony (again...)

hmm. I guess a tatamiya has pretty much seen it all too.

Might as well. The 4-man you paid recently was outside Japan or when you
were in/near Obu???
Declan Murphy
She actually. But this does present possibilities.

No, it was in not-quite-Japan I'm afraid. You might have to pay a bit more
in the real Japan.

If it is she and if you haven't yet get her fugging drunk, than there must
have been a reason -me thinks... You might want to get yourself fuggin drunk
first.

Waaaahhh !!!! Again ?
I guess you've found a solution now, so we can laugh of it. I think your
grand-ma's files are in disorder, when you've asked her the recipe of beer,
she gave you the one of her secret cocktail Molotov.

You'll drink something else.

Shidapens. Its part of my on-going research for a project I want to get
done before I reach 40. Not for me of course, but for humanity and world
peace etc. And for any possible sprogs sometime down the way (you dad
owns a brewery? etc)

No solution yet, I got a quote for replacing the tatami, but it turned
out to be slightly more than what I paid when I had two rooms converted
to wooden flooring last year. What I really want but just can't afford,
is a house with a proper concrete floored airconditioned garage to
tinker in like mad people do in normal countries.

One plan I'm currently mulling over is to rent a generator, and take my
Guinness server, 30L keg and gas cylinders to the park and do this
hanami thingee in a bit of style. I mean its not as if I'm going to
bother looking at the bloody flowers anyway.

One more room with wooden flooring ? What about tiles ? It's convenient for
a laboratory.
Now, you can just discretly get rid of those tatami and replace them by a
roll of cheap flooring you cut and install yourself. I cover what is left of
my tatami with carpet when I have visitors.

In normal countries garages are for cars, mad people have cellars or
shelters in the garden to stock their stinking booze and exploding it
without disturbing anybody. Maybe you should rent some old yamabushi hut
with holes in the roof, and do the tests there...for the sake of your
neighbours.

I hope you have a good insurance.
Do you also brew "chouchen" ? It's known in Ireland ? That's a "fun" drink
too.

Tiles would only be worth the investment if I owned the place and was
going to be using the same space for a long time. I'm planning on moving
within 2-3 years.

Fortunately I don't have a car, so I'll opt for a double garage.
I have thought about moving up into the hills, but the hours I work are
such that it wouldn't make any sense to do so. Plenty of cheap houses up
in the Shimoyama area and only 30 minutes from Okazaki IC on the Tomei.
The monkeys might be a problem though.

None to speak of.

Most drinks are by definition fun. Is chouchen the one made from honey?
Like the mead in Shakespeare? I don't anything about mead and haven't
made wine before (hard to get the grapes in Okazaki, and the smell would
be a bigger problem in the apartment than occasional explosions. I don't
distill anything either, just brew (or try to), I guess I'm more
interested in alchemy than chemistry.

Yes, I think so, I don't know exactly. I mentioned it because it's like
fugu. They say that when chouchen is not well prepared by specialists, venom
from the bees dilute in it. For most people that makes nothing but the 5% of
unlucky allergic persons can fall dead after drinking a sip or two.Maybe
it's a legend for tourists. They tend to tell it after re-serving half a
dozen of Parisians.
>(hard to get the grapes in Okazaki,
Obviously, it's not a problem in Kobe. Who said you needed grapes ?
I was invited to a degustation of a "Cote de Sannomiya Nouveau Cuvee Hankyu
" or something like that. Till the last minute, I expected the guys from
London Hearts would jump into the room with TV cameras and announce it was a
joke. But no, that was for real.
> I don't distill anything either,
That's boring. You are not allowed to do it yourself (my uncle does it as a
job, it's not more passionating, just a machine to operate and clean.)
Brewing beer is certainly more interesting.
That reminds me I have not drunk the umeshu of last year. 2 liters was far
too much for me. The new recipe is good : cheap white wine (I think that was
a Chateau Osaka Suntory I got as omiyage), ume, their weight of crystal
sugar, kept 6 months in the dark. I'll do it again in 2005, if that bottle
is empty. A long wait.
That's why I roast coffee, I can do it more often and I dare
even give some to other people (coffee is never toxic,right ?).
Well, enjoy your hanami party !

room which you need to smell like it doesn't smell like a beer soaked room.
The tatami are the problem. My advice is to throw the smelly tatami
somewhere else while your company is in your apartment (the guests won't say
anything because you are a gaijin, thus aren't expected to know that the
room they are sitting in was once a tatami room). Once the rascals leave,
you can be free to deoderize the tatami using either kitty litter, the
sooothing rays of the sun, or ground coffee sprinkled liberally over the
offending odors.
Personally, I'd go with the coffee treatment. It's the most expensive, but
the only one that will really work to get rid of the smell of wort.

Close. I have a beer soaked room, but I never have company over (that
what love hotels and travel are for) and certainly never hold any
parties in the apartment - easier to have a party in the bar and charge
the guests. The problem is that too many bottles explode, leaving me
short of beer. I had to take a crate of Kirin to the hanami bbq
yesterday to cover the gap.

Wise advice methinks. Is this from personal experience?

Aaaah! Well if your only problem was a lack of beer, then you seem to have
covered your bases well (or whatever dumb saying cricket moron/enthusiasts
use). Kirin is a fine beer and bbq party attendees aren't worthy of home
brew. Take me for example, I'd be just as content with drinking the kirin
that you paid for as I would be if you had supplied your personal stash.
It's only beer. You don't swirl it, swish it, gargle, or drink it. Beer is
for guzzling. Anybody who doesn't understand this obvious beer fact might
just as well drink all that dog piss they pass off as "sake" in this
godfursaken country.
> Wise advice methinks. Is this from personal experience?
Sure it works. Just so long as you don't mind the smell of coffee.
