I decided against it. I'm going to get some new yeast and hopefully brew it up this weekend. I have to get a little more strict with my techniques. The last two batches I've brewed up just weren't as good. I think I screwed up with the hops. Switched the bittering with the finishing or...

I was going to brew a batch two weeks ago but basically wasn't able to get to it. I was using wyeast and had smacked the pack. It puffed up in about three hours and I have never opened it. It has been puffed up for two weeks now. If I brew this weekend would the yeast still be okay? I don't...

I love the beer gun.

I played what this game is supposed to be the "spiritual successor" to about 7 or 8 years ago called System shock 2. That game was extremely fun. The story was better than about 90% of any science fiction you can get a hold of, and it scared the sh*t out of me. Very immersive. I would've...

I generally use AHS when I order online. My experience has been great with them but I do have one complaint. I don't like the rush order option. I don't see why there is an option to pay more money to get them to process your order faster. I did it once and I'm not so sure that I got my...

I've really missed the yeast sediment since I have gone to kegging. That and the rocky shaped head that a bottled beer produces.

He did title the thread "RANT." Seems to be a suitable place for his rantings.

I use a ss braid over my ss racking cane, and i've never had a clogging problem.

I'm with you on the whistling. I work in a library. People do that a lot. Of course, libraries aren't quiet anymore anyway. The stuff about bike lanes and pedestrian reminds me of people not using their turn signals. I think people just really feel that it takes too much energy to press...

Papazian has a wierd, involved chapter in one of his books about what brewing beer in space would be like.

I have one of those. I don't even want to try and see how it holds up to the just boiling wort. I think it would melt, at the very least get warped and make it unusable.

Bobby M, I see what you're getting at by basically using the wort wizard to start it, the same as I would would my mouth. Both of those methods leave me a bit nervous about contamination.

I realize that I wont be able to use the better bottle with the wort wizard. I had thought of using an extension tube and sucking on it to get it going, but I was hoping that there might be a better way hat I haven't thought of. I don't like the idea of using my mouth. I'll probably stick...

I don't think I was very clear on my first post. I am basically asking if anyone has some better ideas for my situation than what I've come up with, as far as using a cfc and a pot without a spigot. I would like to start using better bottles but with my setup as it is, I can not. The pressure...
