UPS will also hand off a package to anyone who says it's for them -- as I learned when some #$@! swiped my ATM card number and ordered a bunch of stuff from QVC (including a video camera) and then waited in front of my apartment building for UPS to show up. According to the delivery records this...

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. My condolences.

This works like a charm... What's the best way to get rid of rats? Rat Zapper!

My older brother and I snagged a Molson from a construction site (at least I THINK it was beer) when I was 9. I thought it tasted like s**t. I didn't have a beer I liked until I tried Dinkelacker from a mini-keg when I was 12 or 13 (haven't had it since; for all I know it sucks).

No need to be surprised, I actually posted this a few days ago but my headline was weak: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f5/another-reason-hate-heineken-92049/

Heineken to shut Beamish brewery in Ireland By SHAWN POGATCHNIK DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) — Dutch brewing giant Heineken NV announced Thursday it is closing one of Ireland's oldest breweries, Beamish & Crawford in the city of Cork, just weeks after taking control of the operation. Heineken...

Sometimes Wanking Might Be Optional

Screw down the cap on the bottle side, loosen the cap on the measure side, and squeeze.

Ha! You too, huh? Hippies wear f-ing Birkenstocks -- these are combat boots! Yeah, all that that was a long time ago, before I thought about things like chronic tinnitus and hearing loss...

+1 to edge and message... no hippie shiite... (High school in '86! Man it's weird to get older...)

I forgot to add Minor Threat. I'm with you 100%. When we were bleeding at shows in the early- to mid-80's loud, fast, and angry pretty much did it... But mostly it was attitude/worldview, and "punk" isn't a hard-and-fast category, it's just something you know when you hear it. Johnny Cash...

All of the above. Plus... The Pogues Husker Du (before they sucked) EDIT: Descendents Black Flag Big Black

Hell... no. Mountain man all the way. Lucky for me SWMBO doesn't like bald bits. I do, however, have to use a weed-eater on my eyebrows or I'd grow a visor.

+1 to this. I should have added that I'm a much better cook than I ever was a baker, and my brewing has suffered accordingly.

I've worked as both a cook and a baker, and brewing reminds me more of baking. You're dealing with yeast and fermentation, for one thing, and you've also got to keep a close eye on measurements, time and temperature to get a desired result. I don't know how much being good at one translates to...

TB American Wheat was my first beer too. (Only about 15 months ago but it seems longer.) I pitched my yeast at 90 degrees, took no gravity readings whatsoever, and bottled after 7 days -- and in spite of all that it turned out okay. Not to worry, yours looks fine. It just wants to be left alone...

Sounds awesome... Even more so because you're drinking it in the 'Snake, one of my favorite mt. biking/hiking/snowshoeing places in the world.

I'd say, "Self, this is going to take a lot longer than you think, so start early." I think I began my first batch around 9:00 at night. Got to bed around 3:00. It's amazing what a mess you can make. And wort can take a LONG time to cool if you don't prepare. And the longer everything takes, the...

I'm a lone bottler and always have been, but I have my system down and it only takes a couple of hours, max. I don't mind it much because it brings me one big step closer to opening the bottles back up and drinking what's inside... +1 on bigger bottles!

The English must be pro-homebrewer because Bass and Samuel Smith's are two of the easiest labels to remove.
