There was this guy who stole over 20K from me in a business deal. What really pissed me off was that he liked to frequent the same bar I used to love to go to. I had to stop going because I didn't want to get the death penalty or life in prison when I murdered him. So I just made a little...

I am so confused. A week ago the tickets were $423, this week they are $400, 3 weeks ago they were $299. I still have about 2.5 months before my trip. On the flights I'm looking at, half the seats are still empty if you view seating charts. I read on one site, always best to buy 6 weeks...

It's been 2 weeks in primary fermenter bucket. A new bucket that still has it's tight seal. Was thinking about moving it to a secondary to save space and also re-use the yeast. Opened it and see 2 inches of bubbles. Airlock was clogged and upon tasting it, realized that it's carbonated...

5 gallons of beer, 5 gallons of gruit, sitting side by side in 7.9 gallon plastic fermenters. One a recipe I made up, the other a kit that I brew all the time, one of my favorites. Both have the same awful sour taste and smell to them. Only way to drink them is to hold your nose and do it...

My back has been hurting so thought I could just brew up the grain a little at a time on the stove top(BIAB) using a small pressure cooker, boil it down as much as I can before it starts to caramelize, and save it. At flame-out I could also go ahead and add some additional sugars/fermentables...

Just started my mash(reminder to self: ready at 3:45)and trying to plan it out in my head. 1/2 pound fresh oregano that goes into the boil at intervals, like you would with hops. No hops in this batch. Some of the oregano I trimmed was over-do and very bitter. Also the stems are more...

Years ago I wrote a children's story, written in rhyme, had little illustrations for each page, it was very cute. Wanted to try and get it published or even self-publish it but something came up, I didn't get around to it. I haven't searched everywhere yet, but a daunting task, my old...

I found this in grandfather's old shed in very rusty condition. Brought it home, showed it to hubby and said one day I want to restore it. I didn't even notice it went missing, but he brought it back to me all rust free and freshly painted. Here are pictures before and after. The name...

I am so angry! In 5 days, 5 customers have written that either they did not receive their package or it arrived damaged. I have mailed over 1200 CDs in the past and only once in a while does this happen. Did something happen with USPS over Easter, they got bogged down, angry employees going...

I think tattoos deserve their own thread. My first tattoo and I'm sure not my last. Everyone said it would hurt, whatever. I wished it had hurt, take me away from real pain. No bleeding, no scabs, none of that nasty stuff people said would happen. Felt like a gentle, acupuncture massage...

Ya know, every time you wear it, it seems like things go your way. I am wearing my lucky pair of sweats today. I called them my "Buy Me Beer" pants, because it just works, people buy me beer. I have a shirt that attracts new friends, and other items of clothing that do different things to...

Because you think they are poisonous and want to bite you? And you are afraid that you will die? But what if you know it's just a very large white oak snake? They won't hurt anybody. A four foot long, thick, white oak snake on my porch and I jumped on my chair saying "I'm not afraid of...

Second time they have lost my package in the last 3 months. "On truck for delivery today", then next day it resets, "on truck for delivery today", next day resets again, "on truck for delivery today". Call the 800 number, they say "Oh, it's on the truck for delivery today." Won't look it up...

Now I have 2.5 gallons of sour beer. I asked this question before but didn't get a serious answer, not a joke, I really want to know. If I weren't so worried about getting sick from it, it would be more palatable. It's like a rotten fruit kind of sour. Or like sweet iced tea that went bad...

I decided to go ahead and use a can of mr. beer that expired 2 years ago. The beer is about a week old, tried it and it's sour. Like something that went bad kind of sour. Added some steeped grains(2-row) to it and a little honey and brown sugar. I moved it to a secondary today. Like a...

Actual cereal from the aisle at the grocery store. Anything all natural/organic/whole grain... So far I've done a corn flake brew(not much flavor but okay) and my current Kashi cinnamon harvest cereal(smells delicious). Mashing it in the same bag, BIAB, with my grains. Who else...

1 box of Kashi cinnamon harvest cereal 5 pounds 2-row- 1 pound roasted Mash at 52 degrees for about 55 minutes About a cup or 2 of brown sugar Northern brewer hops 1 ounce at start Cluster hops at 15 minutes and 5 minute(3/4-1/4- total 1 oz) 60 minute boil Re-used safale us-05...

I know it seems like I've been having a lot of problems with my brews lately, but I have been trying new things, changing my techniques plus brewing a lot lately. When I used to just brew the same old extract kits over and over, I never had any problems, but it got boring. So I switched to...

I don't know much of the technical stuff about making beer, trying to learn. I have 5 pounds of 2-row, was going to roast half of that, 2.5 pounds lightly roasted, and 2.5 gallons just straight up. About how many gallons should that make for a beer around 3.5 to 4% ABV? My grain...
