    For the love of god....

    Batch sparging. With the mash I was using 1.33. quarts per pound. I'm wondering if I should reduce this to 1.25

    For the love of god....

    I'm on my third all-grain batch. The first was great and the second sucked. With regards to the second I can't even fathom where I went wrong, not taking gravity readings is the first problem but probably not the only. Ultimately batch #2 was tasteless, as in water-like and a complete loss...

    Son of a...

    I haven't brewed in a log time. So I get everything set up and next thing you know, my burner won't light. I did about everything I could to get it working including disassembling the valve assembly and still nothing to show.. I am majorly pissed.... and no I had plenty of gas, propane too

    Son of a $&^%&I

    HMmmm. I didn't think about the mash temp being too high. I usually make the assumption that I'll lose a lot of heat when a transfer the water and mash in the grain. Maybe I've been thinking too much (this would be news to the missus).

    Son of a $&^%&I

    About six weeks ago I brewed (AG) a Bavarian Dunkelweissen. Everything seemed fine. I mash, sparged, boiled, sanitized, etc. I don't take gravity measurements because I'm lazy and figure 3 weeks for fermentation/3 weeks for conditioning should be fine. While a bubbling blow off tube isn't a...

    You should scrub your taint with his toothbrush or soak your sack in his coffee pot (cooled of course)

    What's on your Christmas list?

    The title says it all. Mrs. Bigeb is pestering me about what I want for X-mas but I'm in the middle of a brain fart and I'm drawing a blank. Anyone have any thoughts or preferences of what they want?

    What kind of handgun to get?

    For a decent 9mm it looks like most of the good suggestions have been mentioned (M&P 9, Glock 17, Springfield XD 9). These run new around $500-$600. There are some less expensive guns such as the S&W Sigma, S&W SD, Taurus, etc. for $100-$200 less. These weapons are good but they lack the fit...

    What kind of handgun to get?

    It really depends on what you want to do. If it's punching paper at a range and cost is the major factor them go with a 9mm and a cheaper pistol of which there are a ton. Definately go to a range and rent some to get a feel for what you like. If you want a home defense or concealed/carry...

    Quick (stupid) yeast question

    I've had a smack pack sitting in the basement for about two months. It hasn't been refrigerater or exposed to heat. Question: is the yeast still good or should I order a new smack pack?

    Malt Liquor, what is it?

    I think we can all agree we all know a good deal about brweing beer but can someone tell me how malt liquor is different?:confused:

    Life in general

    If it were me I would eat lots of onions and beans and fart myself silly. I have elevated the farting of some seriously obnoxious gas to an art form. Make the environment unpleasant so the want to leave. Better yet, constantly do some silent drivebys, leave and wait for the reaction...

    Mash paddle construction

    Maybe he's drinking already? I'd stay away from anything that is a soft wood. Sap and other "tree snot" could be nasty.

    whats your favorite thing to do while drinking beer.

    I like to play with my kids while drinking my "daddy juice". TV shows seem to get funnier as well. I can't figure out why...

    I LOVE South Texas!

    My wife and I want to move to Texas but not sure what kinds of jobs are out there. Does anybody have any thoughts? The fishing and kayaking above sure do make it a more tempting place to go!
