- I'm an amateur photographer, videographer, motorcyclist and homebrewer. I'm also paid to do some photography and videography so maybe I'm not an amateur, but I'm not paid to brew or ride motorcycles...so that qualifier still applies. I have a long-distance brewing relationship, so I'm getting the wife into the sport to provide local support.
- motorcycling,brewing beer,writing,photography,videography
- Audiovisual/Communications in a governmental contract setting.
- I used to get my kicks with aggresive hardcore and punk music, but my age is showing when half of my music seems to just be a guy and a guitar. I'm into everything from Poison Idea to John Prine. AA Bondy and Eef Barzelay are in heavy rotation.
- I like Cohen brothers films, Wes Andersen films, documentaries and random fluff.
- Everything I like gets cancelled. No one saw Bent, no one watched Prime Suspect. Both were fantastic, but seemed to be relegated to cancellation as soon as they started airing.
- Jefferson's War, Ghost Wars, anything by Hitchens, fiction by Palahniuk, classic and new hard Sci Fi, alternate history junk. Love my nook, just don't find tons of time.
- Started brewing with a partner using a standard bucket kit, switched from boxed recipes very early on into random experimentation. Moved into micro batch all-grain, turkey fryer 5 gal batches and finally to our TopTier 10g setup. Working on fermentation control and better kegging next.
- Planning on doing some experimental soured and oak aged stouts.

What kind of brewer do you want to be? I don't care about contests and don't care about being
better than everyone else. I shoot to be better today than I was yesterday--I compete with
myself. I also ...Posted in thread: Do I REALLY need to pay attention to pitch rates??? on 05-13-2013 at 11:14 AM
There's a certain competitiveness and perhaps even a shade of snobbery about making "great"
beer in the homebrew world. It’s logical to say "My beer tastes good doing it this way, so why
make better b...Posted in thread: 15" Hinged False Bottoms on 05-08-2013 at 11:49 AM

Well let me know about that stuff when you're ready. I might be in the market depending on my
budget and I'm all kinds of local to you.Posted in thread: Custom All Grain Brewing Setup on 04-30-2013 at 10:40 AM
Hey neighbor, it's a shame you're getting out of it. Also a shame that I've pieced together
enough stuff that I can't even cherry-pick something off your rig that would help me. You don't

The homebrewer's garden book says that deer and rabbits are very fond of hop shoots. Which

I think there's a huge difference in torque requirements between a 2 roller and a 3 roller
mill, and also most drills have no torque at the low RPMs you need to really milll grain
effectively. The com...Posted in thread: Motorize grain mill will a drill? on 04-08-2013 at 03:43 PM
I tried running my three roller this weekend with a friend's 3/8" corded drill. After about 30
seconds, it started smoking, so it was back to the hand crank for the rest of the grain.Still
debating if...
