In a way, this really shows whats wrong with the gun control argument on a much smaller scale. Those that chose to obey the law are left defenseless sitting ducks while the criminals get free reign. The so called "gun free" zones in every school do nothing to stop a would be shooter. As if...

Granted, but you are now homeless. I wish Christmas was around the corner again.

Granted, but you now live in a tiki hut on the equator. I want a long cold winter.

this amused me. The idea is that the first person wishes for something, and the second grants it; but not necessarily in a pleasing manner. For example: Person One: I wish house prices were cheaper here! Person Two: Granted; but you've got no electricity or running water. I wish I had a...

I'm really not sure why it gets so much hate on these forums, but I have to say that Sam Adams is arguably one of the best Domestic brands out there. I love to try new beers, and I'm always up for a new experience, but the BBC consistently comes out with beers that more than meet my...

OK, I'm doing batch #3 tomorrow, well technically today. I haven't had the guts to venture outside of kits yet, so this will be a Brewers Best IPA. Here are the Ingredients: 6.6# Plain Light Malt Extract 1# Crushed Crystal Malt 8 oz Crushed Victory 2 oz Northern Brewer Hops 1 oz Cascade...

I robbed Barney the dinosaur because I'm sexy like that.

Oblivion is absolutely terrific. I play it on 360. If they ever come out with an Elder Scrolls MMORPG, Im jumping ship in a heartbeat ;)

Yup, I said it. Some of my friends wonder how I went from only caring about commercial brew to having 10 gallons fermenting in about a month. The answer? World of Warcraft. I started playing WoW roughly 4 months ago and Im pretty into it. I don't play it like 5 hours a day like most people...

Yeah, you are probably right. This was my first brew, so I was just going by the recipe. Heres what it said verbatim. When bubbling has stopped, remove the lid, sanitize a hydrometer and take the Final Gravity (F.G.) reading. Write down this number for future reference. If this reading matches...

I actually bought the Winter Pack last weekend and I quite liked it. It was slightly different though, it had: Boston Lager Winter Lager Cranberry Lambic Holiday Porter Old Fezziwig Cream Stout I hadn't tried any of the last 4 varieties until then. I was quite impressed with all of...

So today I racked my my holiday ale to the secondary. I think I'm going to end up with about 4.5 gallons instead of 5 with this one. I had to switch to a blowoff on day 2 and I realized that I put the tube too far into the bucket so I lost some brew. :( The holiday ale had an OG of 1.076 and...

Hey, thanks a lot for your replies. I switched to a blow off and everything seems fine now.

So I woke up this morning and the red cap on my airlock was missing and there is now considerable amounts of wort and foam in the airlock and on the lid. I just placed the red cap back on and it flew off again within minutes. Should I rinse out the whole airlock and reattach it or just leave it?
