So our GE (kenmore) frontloading washing started making a horrible noise the other day and we decided to open it up see if we could fix it. Well as soon as we started to disassemble I realized how poorly designed these things are, not just this model but from the research Ive done online...

I hope this is the right section to post this in. I recently started making yeast slants to keep my favorite strains handy for brewing whenever. everything slant ive made so far has turned out well except for a few slants of Wyeast 1007 German Ale yeast which have formed a red colored ring...

As I get deeper into formulating my own recipes Ive been thinking more about the diastatic power of different grains. I can look up the enzyme power of all the grains I buy in degrees linter but does anyone know of a formula to factor in enzyme power and percentage by weight of grain to make...

Well this isnt specifically about hops but there isnt a general gardening section so this was the best match. Anyway it seems I have a groundhog or maybe its a woodchuck (not sure of the difference) eating all sorts of stuff in my garden it started by eating every single leaf on the broccoli...
