    I have a new toy for my motorcycle.

    I just installed a 139db horn on my SV, check out the Youtube video (not my bike in the vid). This thing is obnoxious!!! :ban: https://www.aerostich.com/product.php?productid=19550&cat=569&page=1 Video:

    Ow! My Face!!!

    Funny story..heh I was at work yesterday drilling a hole through a double thick cinder block wall with a Hilti hammer drill (huge metal jack hammer like drill), when the bit grabbed and spun the drill motor into my face!!! I was six feet up on a ladder and in a corner, so my options were...

    I played hookey today...

    The boss called in sick, way too nice a day to be at work!!!! We won't have another turbine to test until Thursday, so I went out on my favorite loop along the Ausable river, through Lake Placid and into Kenne Valley in the Adirondacks. Life is GOOD! :ban:

    Great Comic Site

    My Brother in law showed me this great comic site. I like some of the darker ones... I can't post them as photos, so I'll just post a link. http://pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF246-Bee.gif

    Motorcycles & Real Estate...

    If you went to a weekend open house and saw that the Realtor was there on a sport bike (SV), would you take the Realtor seriously? Does anyone take Realtors seriously...? I sell Real Estate in upstate NY, and the weather is just too damn nice to be rollin' in my cage. My Broker rolls his eyes...

    Caramel / Crystal malt

    I'm preparing to make a batch of Vanilla Carmel Cream Ale and the recipe calls for Caramel 60. I have Crystal 60, is there a huge difference in flavor? or is it just a color difference? I'm using 1Lb as a steeping grain.

    My new & improved beer shelf

    This is what I came up with after my flimsy metal beer shelf collapsed. I like to keep my beers up off the floor because it's warmer by a few deg and on the floor they only get to about 61F. How's this look? Better?

    My beer shelf collapsed!

    I have a metal closet shelf that I've used to support full carboys with much success until today. I was adding a 6 gal better bottle full of Apfelwein when *CRASH*!!! I caught the shelf and saved every single carboy (5gal ESB, 5gal Apfelwein & 3gal Apfelwein). Luckily SWMBO was in the room...

    Gravity stuck at 1.020, kegged anyway...

    I transferred my IPA to secondary about two weeks ago and it read 1.020 then. I went to keg it today with some priming sugar and the reading is still 1.020. I racked it onto the priming sugar anyway, it'll be in a keg so no risk of bottle bombs. Will it finish up OK in the keg?

    PET bottles at Lowes

    I picked up a few bottles of spring water for brewing and found that the 3 gallon bottles at Lowes are #1 PET and they have the raised bottom like a better bottle! No five gallons though... Dig it!

    My favorite beer glass

    I stole this from a resturant about 8 years ago and it's by far my favorite (I'm a bad bad person). Here it is full of my English Pale Ale: Just thought I'd share...

    Dispensing pressure VS Serving pressure

    Ok, this has been bugging me. If my Pale Ale requires 12-14 PSI to force carb over a period of two weeks, what happens when I drop the regulator to around 5-6 PSI to serve? Will my beer eventually lose carbonation? I don't have to keep my beer at the higher pressure & bleed off every time right?

    Motorcycle Fanatics, show your ride(s)

    The MotoGP thread showed me there are a few enthusiasts out there. Let's see your bikes! Here's my old '89 FJ1200: And my newer toy/ratbike/commuter SV650: I don't wheelie on the street, this was on an old closed airbase. Yes I have a car pipe! And it's sexy growley...

    MotoGP is way more exciting than NASCAR

    1a9UmuNUtMY Is there a more manly motorsport? 200+Mph on two credit card size contact patches, sometimes in the rain. Discuss...:D

    Excluding Malto Dextrin from BB kit?

    I have a Brewer's Best Irish Stout kit and was wondering how many people have brewed this kit without using the malto dextrin. Would leaving it out just make a lighter bodied beer?
