http://www.firstshowing.net/2012/the-green-mile-star-michael-clarke-duncan-has-passed-away-at-54/ I am a huge movie fan, so I found this really sad - power actor, enjoyed his work and interviews. Seemed like the real deal.

64F today at Waldport, OR. with a steady breeze, sitting 20 ft from the surf. Grilling tenderloin, HOTD Blue Dot gone, Stone 10th Ann. Ruination on it's last quaff... ...heading to a 104F Boise in the morning. Yes, I am bitchin', let's hear some GOOD NEWS that I can read tomorrow night...

Got really tired of ice water baths... Although I could chill it to pitching temp in a little over an hour, it was a PITA. Enter Homebrewing.org with a 50' stainless IC for $90. Sold. Just chilled 6 gallons of a big stout from boiling to 65F in 10 minutes!:rockin: Just felt the need to...

I have always been a huge NCAA lacrosse fan. I coach my kid's teams, am on the local LAX board, etc... My wife is in Philly at the US Lacrosse convention and is bringing home a UNC jersey signed by Billy Bitter! Just had to post, I am so excited and SWMBO earns some serious points :D

Bought several of these ('cause I love 'em so!), and set one aside. I noticed a good amount of yeast settled after a month or so, so I harvested and am propagating now. It is the brewing yeast, or is this one bottle conditioned? Any one else try this from Port Brewing? Thanks for the help.

Bag of 2-row and bag of Pilsner for $81... Way cool! Nice guy, great selection, and saved about $15 a bag over the other LHBS's. Close to home, opens at 9am, cool!

I got tired of storing my bottles in worn out cardboard boxes. I saw the CW Crate ad in BYO, so I decided to try them out. Things didn't start out great, as the coupon code did not work. A quick e-mail to them was answered right away, saying it should work. They did say they would be sure to...

Boy, good food and the Bitter ***** IIPA rocks! Kick-Ass stout was awesome, too. Caught some sturgeon and drank some great beer here. Highly recommended!

I really liked it! It's like a mellow Bigfoot in a lot of ways. Mellow malt, balanced hops. Anyone else try it?

I am visiting clients in the east and will be in Philly, PA on March 9, and Melville, NY on March 10/11. Any suggestions on beer/food? I am staying at the Windsor Suites in Philly, and the Huntington Hilton on Long Island. Thanks in advance!

Are the categories more about what actually is in the beer, or what it tastes like could be in the beer? Here's my dilemma: After 4 competitions with a citra DIPA, I get about 50% comments on how there is a flaw in the beer. Usual comments are "a strange tropical fruit" flavor. Is it wrong to...

Boy, great West Coast IPA and decent IIPA. I also picked up Ballast Point Big Eye (I have had it before, and loved it), and one I have not had: Black Diamond Rampage IPA. I only wished there was more room in my luggage!

Gotta' say... this is a really nice beer. Not quite IPA, but not your average PA either. Tasty, tasty!

Inspired by Yooper's recipe, I needed something for the teens to drink tonight. I had a 2.5 gallon keg sitting idle, so here it is: 2 gallons of water at 150F 2 cups grated ginger (juice and shreds were loosely packed) 4 cups turbinado sugar 2 limes, zest and juice 1 lemon, zest and juice...

I just tried a Unita Labyrinth Black Ale. It's a big stout with amazing flavors, but the alcohol burn in the flavor is a bit high. Will aging help? It doesn't seem that it would, but I would appreciate anyone's experience here. Eric

It doesn't get better than this! Robert Cray band (I am a huge blues fan), and Stone's 080808 Channel 306 DirectTV if you have it right now!! damn, I am a lucky guy.

OK, I have a have a question about building a collar: Some people mount the collar on the base of the freezer, some on the lid: How are the collars attached to the lid? You'd think an engineer would figger' this out, but I have had a couple Deschutes Hop in the Dark CDA's. I have the...

Just got my sheets back from NHC, and sat down to sample my Vienna Lager and compare my notes to the judges. Before I read their comments, I cracked the beer and tasted it. This is not the same beer I mailed off last month: What the ??? One of the judges found acetaldehyde, and he is so...

It's Friday night, snowing outside, and I am home with Flying Pie Pizza and a growler of Goose Island Matilda. The repeat of Georgetown/Navy lacrosse is on. I am a lucky man!
