I got up the other night and the toilet tank was draining into the bowl. No problem I say, I can fix this with a new rubber stopper (older style, no flapper). Still leaked, damn. Put a new valve in and it was defective, the tank would fill to the point where water would flow into the tube...

Time to have a few Tyskie's!! Well, in a few hours after I get out of work. I'll officially be sick of polka music for another year about 6:22 pm.

when representing yourself in your trial for beheading your wife, you might want to avoid doing this: 3:38 p.m.: Judge Franczyk is now reviewing several records and reports that Hassan wants to submit as evidence. Prosecutor Colleen Curtin Gable has said she needs time to review the records...

I dry hopped a pliny clone (2nd dry hop addition) 2 days ago and now my beer has this on top: i haven't had any other dry hopped beers get these bubbles. Prior to the 2nd dry hop addition the top was smooth with some hop particles floating. Looks moldy, but could be just some co2...

and their drinking all of our good beer! "Burtch and about 50 other Canadians had poured into Blue Monk on a bus expedition that's part of a small but growing Buffalo attraction: beer tourism. Fans of the brewing art, chafing over the relatively meager selection of beer permitted in Ontario...

I had a slight leak from the valve in my bottling bucket and just gave it a litlte turn to tighten and apparently the gasket slipped out of position and it turned into a spray of wine. The only thing i could think to do was siphon it back into the fermenter as that was the only container handy...

I picked up a spa panel from HD and am going to put it in the garage (attached) for indoor brewing. I have about a 15 foot run between floor joists, through a wall (insulated) then up to where I want to mount the panel. From what I have picked up: 6/4 wire from panel (50 amp breaker) to spa...

I brewed the Pliny clone today with the Farmhouse hop pack (that's a lot of hops!) and hit my OG without the dextrose so I skipped it. I didn't think that would affect the flavor much, and if it did it would just have a touch more malt flavor. It was 5% of the fermentables. Will I miss it...

The old indirect smoker has seen it's better days so it's time for a new smoker! Never was impressed with it nor the brinkmann that i used before that. Neither was good at heat control, and the fuel never seemed to last for a long smoke. What should I be looking at for the new one?

Who? A great influence on punk rock!!!

Get your squirt guns and *****willows ready! Polish beer, vodka, polka music, sausage, and..... :tank: For those about to POLKA.... We salute you!

I need to find some new music. Radio in buffalo generally sucks and plays classic rock that is old in the tooth, top 40 which usually sounds like a bunch of crap to me, and some hard guitar based rock that is a little too loud/aggressive (even though I still like Nine Inch Nails from time to...

I have "vintage" concrete washtubs in my basement where I usually clean up fermenters/kegs and used star-san for the first time down there. After I dumped out the keg of star-san i wondered if the acid would do anything to the washtubs, acid etching, muriatic acid cleaning and all. It is a...

I'm working on getting some boards/switches mounted in my control panel and have drilled some holes for sensor connections but they came out lousy (very frayed on the inside). I have a spade bits for the larger holes. So, what is the best way to drill a clean hole through fiberglass?
