    Motorcycle Fanatics, show your ride(s)

    We studied the spot closely and went over every thing my wife and I could remember. Here is what I wrote on the motorcycle forum I frequent: The bike was perfectly capable of that turn and the speed we were going. The day before I came over a hill and was surprised by a 90º left. I just...

    Yes, that is my wife in the picture. She ended up with a broken left ankle and sprained right. I ended up with a broken left thumb. We are both covered in bruises...the ditch was full of large rocks... First crash in over 20 years. But...like you say, it could have been much worse. Now...

    Motorcycle Fanatics, show your ride(s)

    Heck ya...the wife and I head out for a few 1000-1300 mile weekends every summer... Usually with a few friends... That's our red BMW in the center which I posted earlier in the thread. I don't think I ever posted pictures of my other two bikes on here. My '83 GS1100E... And my...

    Had an Electra Glide for 15 years...sold it several years ago... Last couple of years we've been riding a '95 K1100RS... I would never consider going back to a Harley after spending time on the BMW...It just handles, accelerates and stops better. It will cruise all day at 85mph and handles...

    Craft brew in cans?

    OK...I guess I have been properly chastised...:o Apologies to one and all...:D In spite of my age, (let's just say over 50), I am relatively new to the craft brew scene... I always tried to go with bottles, even in my BMC drinking days... Did ya ever have the tab on a beer can grab a...

    Craft brew in cans?

    Went to my local Binny's to get some assorted craft brews for Thanksgiving... One of our favorites is Avery's Ellie's Brown Ale...approaching the shelf where they normally sit, all I saw was six packs of cans...:confused: A helpful store associate informed me that the cans are all their...

    Debate on what kit!

    We just started brewing in Sept of this year using NB's Deluxe Kit... Deluxe Beer Starter Kit - Brewing : Northern Brewer They've changed it a bit since then, adding some StarSan and some PBW, which is good. I also got it on a 40% off sale, which was nice. I got the Better Bottles...

    Air Lock liquid - why the alcohol??

    I've been using Scotch.... My Dad drank Scotch and over the years we ended up with a few bottles... And since we don't drink Scotch...why not use it? It smells good when I open the freezer and if it does suck back, I like a nice Scotch Ale...:D

    School Me on Temp Controllers!

    For a very good, low cost, heat/cool temp controller read this: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/ebay-aquarium-temp-controller-build-163849/ It works great...my total cost ended up about $30... But I do agree with ChuckO that this freezer you're looking at may be kurfunked...so check it...

    I don't think these controllers are convertible... You are correct. You may need a heat source if you have the freezer in a cool location, I know I do. This is the seller I got mine from. Received it in about a week. $20 w/free shipping...

    I have a spare fridge. Temperature control?

    You can build your own controller for $25-35 that will control both heating and cooling... Just built mine this weekend and it is working great. It's right here in the DYI section... https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/ebay-aquarium-temp-controller-build-163849/

    Thanks for all this... I am only on my third brew, but swamp cooling, freezing water bottles and checking temps all the time gets old fast. So I ordered one and got it last week. Built it Friday and scored a $75 GE, 7 cubic foot freezer off CL yesterday... $20 for the controller, $7 for the...

    Just to be clear, even though they are clean, they are not ready to bottle until you sanitize them... Good luck!
