I'm wondering how many of you use smartphone beer/brewing apps, and what you think of them. Do you have a favorite? What does the app do and why do you like it? Or are you more old school pen-and-paper like me (though I'm learning to change :) ). I'm a recent convert to smart phones and apps in...

I'm really intrigued by the pedal-powered (wind assisted) Hobie inflatable kayak. How much is it and what is the packed size? This thread title reminded me of growing up and the "inflatable boats" we had back then. They were just overinflated truck inner-tubes we'd use to float down the river...

Fake or not, it's hard to watch that video without laughing! Their laughter is infectious. It reminds me of when my friend would tell a joke that wasn't really very funny, but for some reason we'd get to laughing, and then couldn't stop because we'd each keep setting the other off. It feels good...

How did they know how much to give you back if you didn't have a receipt, and if it wasn't costco brand how did they know you got it from them? I bought two sets of hard shell luggage from Costco. Usually use the two middle size and a small carry-on for family trips. But my brother managed to...

This has been my experience too (no long term solution), but I'm not ready to give up on garden fresh green beans yet. I do with there was a solution out there!

Thank you! It's good to know I'm not the only one out there. :) In my case, the thing is I used to drink lots of SNPA with no ill effect (other than a hangover if I really overdid it. But for the last couple of years, two SNPA and I have a headache the next day! I make sure to drink a fair...

Haven't tried Fantasy Football yet (don't want to get hooked) but can't wait for the season to start. Pre-season in a week baby! Go Pack! :rockin:

Tough time making babies? That's a problem I like to work on.

Did you do anything about the powdery mildew? Did you try the milk spray? I just had to hit my green beans and tomatoes again, but all the milk is doing is stopping it for a few days, then it starts spreading again. This seems to be a particularly bad year... arrghhh. So how are your hop plants...

I live in coastal Southern California and am always fighting powdery mildew in my garden. I don't grow hops, but it hits my green bean plants with a vengance. Last year I read about a solution of sorts. If you mix up an about 10%-20% milk / 80-90% water solution and spray it on the plants, it...

I wish beer improved my vision so I could read the graphics a little easier. :) Cool info, though I think it is stretching it a bit to call all these "facts". Seems like some of the historical points are more speculation. Thanks for sharing.

I guess this is a good reason to go beer shopping! :) Does anyone here have a "yeast sensitivity" that results in headaches?

I thought it might be dehydration, so I purposely drank a fair amount of water this weekend when I had two Sierras (and a Negra Modelo), but still had the headache in the morning. I think I can drink two Red Hook Long Hammer IPAs (cheap at RiteAid) and not have any headache. I'm leaning toward...

I like this yeast idea. I'll have to look into that. Any way to test it that you can think of?

no need to say J/K. I know! I'm wondering if I'm losing my "tolerance". But it's only Sierra, which makes me wonder if it's the particular hops. I can drink two or three other beers and not have an issue the next day, but Sierra seems to give me a headache these days, but didn't use to, and in...

It's the 4th now... 2 days later. I think the beer in the fridge is as cold as it's ever going to get. Try it and let us know!

It's happened three or four times over the past year whenever I've had Sierra. It hasn't happened with any other beers. But its been enough times with Sierra that it seems more than a coincidence. Costco stopped selling Sierra two or three years ago (and raised the price when they brought it...

I had no idea costco made this. I haven't shotgunned a beer since I stopped paying quarters, but back then it was Meisterbrau...

I hate to admit this, but it seems these days if I have two or more Sierra Nevada pale ale beers, I end up with a headache the next morning. This didn't used to ever happen (and I used to drink a lot of Sierra). I don't drink nearly as much beer these days (trying to lose the shed). Perhaps I...

I guess I learned something. I always pronounced it with a long I because that's the way it's spelled, but I listened to the dictionary pronounce it using the link above and they say the old guy's name was pronounced with a short i, as in rhymes with skinny. But that ain't the way it's spelled...
