I think most Computer company's are calling them notebooks now for that very reason. Check where the air vents are on the bottom of your lappy... make sure your not covering them up with your legs. Ive found my lappy heats up if i cover the vents, but cools down really quickly once i move it...

Nice womb broom ya got goin there, Chuck...

The burgers I make... I kinda just make it up as i go along... so i cant really give ya quantities on some things. But here it is... About 1KG of minced beef A smallish onion. Diced. I leave it raw too... some peoples say ya need to brown the onion before it goes into burgers... but i like it...

Gotta dissagree with that one. The bitter taste buds are at the back of the toung. and sseing as beer tends to ahve a kinda bitter taste to it, the only way to get the full flavour from the beer is to swallow it...

Your nutsack hangs off to the side? NB: I see this topic going straight into the gutter from here...

Drink a glass of milk before you start drinking... lines the stomach or something... supposed to make you not get as drunk. Might be worth a shot. And also... If ya find yourself getting a little two drunk... Go for the PowerSpu. Works wonders. Just make sure your near the toilets or a garden...

My laptop runs Linux (OpenSuSe), thinking about changing it over to Ubuntu though. My Desktop is running Vista (which wasnt on the poll) My PVR is (probably) gonna be running Ubuntu when i get around to DLing it.

Not a bottling bucket... just a plastic carboy type thing... like this one... Plan on racking this into secondary (or would it be thirdary?) in about a week... so gonna have to make sure that carboy is in working order by then...

Just did a pilsner. Went to the tap to draw a small amount for a SG reading and noticed the tap was leaking a little... no problem, tightend the tap, wiped away the drips... still leaking. Tighten again... still leaking. BUGGER! Run out to get my second carboy. Cleaned it, stealaised it. put...

The "How long to brew an all-grain batch?" thread got me thinking. I know there are gonna be a lot of variables here, but how much gass does everyone go through during an AG batch? Say a 9KG gas bottle... How many batches would that last? Cheers Chrus

These kegs were gonna be free... well maybe they would of cost me a few home brews... but thats a good price. Might be worth sending off a few emails to brewerys in the area... guess that couldnt hurt. Wouldnt shipping something that big from the US be SUPER expencive?

My keg guy fell through. My mate was gonnahook me up with an empty keg or 3... would of been perfect for getting my AG set up going. So now I have no kegs and no AG setup. Im gonna have to find another place to get my empty kegs from. Grrrr....

My sisters friends tried that once... they thought it would be a good idea to put a can of deoderant in the middle of all that sparkler dust. Luckly someone was still sobre and pointed out how bad of an idea that could of been...

I still got a few left... none cold ATM though :( Isnt it always cold in tassie? Sydney is wet... been raining heaps... which is good, we need the rain. Not too cold up here... but then again, Ive been inside with the heater for the last few days...

Just throwing this out there... but have you thought of using the no-chill method? Instead of chilling your wort, jsut chuck it in a sanatised, airtight container and leave it over night, then transfer to your carboy and add yeast the next morning. Doesnt take up much space, and uses no water...
