I get lots of help making breakfast. And brewing. My 2-dog pack is pretty fantastic.

Not weird, we all learned someplace. In general, a dip tube allows you to siphon from the very bottom of a kettle. Some folks have stands that allow them to drill a valve into the bottom center of a concave-bottomed kettle, which is ideal. For those of us that rest our kettles on a burner...

More Fleet Week. Today we took the helos to Curtis High in Staten Island. The HSC-5 guys make this really easy. Superb dudes. Go get a #SelfieWithaSailor if you are in NYC. Sparky Making beer and hard cider in Southern Virginia since 2011.

Those tour guys flying single seat with a full load of random tourons in the hornets' nest that is the New York SFRA have a pretty neat job. They all looked 17, but that's because I'm old. It must get old, but I think it would be cool for a while. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Truly a Hornet driver The electrical issues were in my stateroom. Apparently the ship's engineer did not like my DIY project in the stateroom. There's a fine line between fame and infamy… Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Met Bosco in the wee hours of this morning. He is a 10 year old US Navy Malinoit that has done deployments to Afghanisan, Iraq and other similar locations. He is still going strong at ten and looks great for any age. What a great pup. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Interesting week; I'm coordinating the aviation events for Fleet Week NY. These were taken by helicopters flying passengers from the Downtown Manhattan Heliport to the USS OAK HILL. OAK HILL and five other ships moored in NYC a few minutes ago. The city and state of New York have been fantastic...

I've geeked a bit on marking mine. I measured with 1/2-gallons of water to about 7 gallons and clipped a ridge of doubled-over duct tape at the waterline each time. I transferred those clip-marks to a long strip of paper. I pulled the paper out, measured the marks and duplicated the distances up...

I think what you found is all the USN has released to the public. On the good side, the pilot can now walk and is otherwise mostly recovered from what were serious orthopedic injuries. He isn't medically cleared to fly yet but his progress has been rapid. Sorry I don't have more details for...

Sorry; F/A-18E has but one seat. Also, realized after I hit reply that AG 103 is on the bottom of the Atlantic since January. Most unfortunate. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I've flown that jet! May well fly it next week as well. Love the Super Hornet. Sparky Making beer and hard cider in Southern Virginia since 2011.

Took a 9V 800ma dc power supply and soldered small alligator clips to it this weekend to try this out. Worked pretty well, if somewhat slowly. I was practicing on the cutout portion of my keggle (the former top with the tap connection in the center) and it initially didn't work on the outside...

Stop marking your kettle and seek immediate spousal attention if you experience an erection lasting more than four hours. Do not mark your kettle while drinking alcohol to excess, as you may experience an unsafe drop in blood pressure or vomit on yourself. Consult your spouse before starting any...

I too enjoy Alton Brown. The best part of Alton's approach is that he addresses why a particular technique works in addition to how to execute. Teach a man to fish . . . Sparky Making beer and hard cider in Southern Virginia since 2011.

I grew up watching the frugal gourmet with my father. Loved it. Supremely sad that he had such a horrible side. Sparky Making beer and hard cider in Southern Virginia since 2011.

Minor point, but if think Jaimez's point was that even one slot in the top will slightly reduce the amount of wort you can siphon out of the tun. Once the top of the liquid gets down to the highest slot--that is, the slot farthest from the bottom, in this case a slot on the top of the...

Reply with a "Thank you!" if you appreciate the sevenish people that devote their time to making this forum all that it is. They hear from those with complaints--which is what they signed up for--but those of us that use this HUGE public resource to further our hobby are generally quiet in our...
