    The Walking dead

    i don't read the comics, but i would if there was spin off about the adventures of daryl's evil brother's severed hand. I thought for sure they would run with that.

    Worst Commercial Beer You've Ever Had?

    I'm with you on the triple bock- i split a case with a buddy in 94. we paid 120 bucks for it, and that was the most i could ever imagine paying for beer back then. we drank bottles on and off over the years, and not a one has improved with age- in fact many of the corks dried out and rotted in...

    Flanders Red Input

    if you just lathe or whittle a leg to plug the opening like a tapered bung stopper, and jam it in until it seems airtight, it could crack the glass when it swells- if you put a nice cushion of teflon tape around it, you get a nice seal and it won't crack the neck.

    Primary in a wine barrel

    it sounds like you are doing everything right- i don't get vinegar in my barrels- i do top with argon anytime i pull the bung, but there is also a pellicle in the barrel which is protecting the beer from the o2 in the headspace- as for the o2 permeating the wood and getting into the liquid-...

    Hibiscus Mead technique?

    i used hibiscus that i got in the spanish spice aisle - we use them for jamaica. I used one full package of them for a gallon. they are dried and it would probably be about two cups worth. I did the steep method like for tea- i let the tea cool and added honey to that. i did three pounds of...

    Primary in a wine barrel

    oh and in asia they call it rambic. i am assuming that there it is made from full grown sheep, not just the babies.

    Primary in a wine barrel

    i primary-ed in my barrel and it did krausen up - i have a pic somewhere - it looks like a mushroom cloud billowing out of the top. I left about four fingers of headspace below the bunghole. I just let the krausen run all down the sides and onto the floor, then when it was done- i topped off...

    Evil face in your beer!

    do you ever see evil faces in your pee bubbles in the toilet? I peed on jimi hendrix until he turned into larry david, this morning. But i don't consider either of them to be evil.

    Secondary with B. lambicus

    Are there any wineries in north queensland?- i got one of mine from a brewery and one from a winery. They may not have any available, but will probably put you on a waiting list.

    If only we could get rid of the big 3

    well i grew up on yuengling and don't love either of the three beers you are raging against- but i know i can damn sure taste the difference in all of them. Are they similar? - yes, they share certain traits and characteristics. Laugh all you want- they don't taste the same.

    Litre/min(Cuft/hour) to psi conversion ?

    the gauge is mislabeled. A gauge cannot measure flow- it has a spring in it which reacts to pressure, not volume- a flow meter is entirely different. Psi is pressure, flow rate is dependent on the psi you are dispensing at, atmospheric pressure, hose size, tank volume- all those things. If...

    If only we could get rid of the big 3

    just because you can't taste the difference, doesn't mean something tastes the same. They might be the same style beer, but their ingredients, procedures, water, and yeasts are all different. If you think that leads to three different beers that somehow taste the same, then you can think that...
