My Left Hand Milk Stout clone. Still kinda green, and not fully carbed, but it sure does taste good. -Dude

Excellent recipe! Kegged this a week ago, after 28 days in the primary, and the early samples are outstanding. Will definitely brew again, next time with a split secondary, half on cocoa nibs, half on vanilla beans. And will probably bottle the next batch for some longer term conditioning.

I'm not an engineer, but I've been an electrician long enough to get really good at bitching about engineers.

Brewed my first attempt at a simple ESB recipe of my own. Its bubbling away happily in the swamp cooler. Was gonna have a go at a Centennial session IPA, but just realized that I'm out of s-05, don't really want to ferment it with s-04... (Plus I've got the Belgian grand Prix dvr'd and Sox vs...

Deschutes was on sale at Safeway for $7 a sixer, so tonight was Mirror Pond, River Ale, and Obsidian, two of each, and a 3rd River ale whilst typing this. Not sure there's a more consistently great, widely available brewer than Deschutes. -Dude

You've inspired me. Do believe I'll have another. -Dude

Of course I'm still drinking! I think Primus summed it up best when they said: "Funny thing about weekends when you're unemployed, they don't mean quite so much. 'Cept you get to hang out with your workin' friends..." Lagunitas has to be the best "bang for your buck" brewery around. And...

Lagunitas Little Sumpin' wild, then a couple fingers of Ardbeg uigeadai (sp?). Can't spell it 'less the bottle is in front of me, but might be my favorite Scotch whisky... -Dude

Hot damn! -Dude

"Hard Time Killing Floor blues" - Skip James

You're absolutely right, Kid, small beer related brain fart there. Not sure what the breaker you want is protecting, but the one listed in that link is a DC voltage breaker, not AC... -Dude

Nope, 15 amps is 15 amps. As long as we're still talking about a single pole breaker, the 240 volts is just the maximum rated voltage. The wire you are using is probably says 600v on it, but if it's #12 copper, it's 15 amp wire, regardless of voltage. -Dude

I'm sure this thread exists, but doing stuff is hard, an' I been drinking, so: Greatest album to accompany a serious drinking session? For myself, its Tom Waits' Mule Variations, how 'bout you? -Dude (Stirrin' my brandy with a nail, boy, Stirrin' my brandy with a nail)

Not super obscure, but the four albums I think everybody ought to listen to at least once are as follows: Ween - The Mollusk Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Orange Tom Waits - Mule Variations Morphine - Good -Dude

Bear Republic Black Racer. Thanks to the "Growl Movement" for filling my jug, and having the greatest name in the history of business... -Dude

Just finished cleaning up from my first brew day in 2+ years, first all grain brew day ever. Listening to Dropkick Murphys, Live on Landsdowne. Nice win by the Sox tonight, and Tessie is playing. Not too shabby... -Dude

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BAZWF0/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 I'm a big fan of hole cutters like the above. Cuts a perfect 7/8" (1/2" clearance) hole, leaves minimal burrs, and as long as you take your time, and set the clutch whilst drilling the pilot, they'll last for many holes...

Figured I ought to sign up and introduce myself. I've been brewing off and on for a couple years, kits and extracts in the kitchen, but recently decided to move to all grain. I've used HBT as a reference for damn neart everything, most recently building my keggle. The wealth of information...
