It would be nice if HBT had a separate forum for discussion about our local BrewPubs, Breweries with tasting rooms, Cideries, and LHBS (local homebrew supply stores). I would think that a lot of such places were originally started by home brewers & wine makers just like members here. (makes...

I just came across a 300+ page .PDF file of all Jack Keller's wine recipes. It's made available for download from a winemaking guild in Pennsylvania (Susquehanna Winemakers Guild). Not knowing when something might disappear from the web ... for posterity's sake, here it is ...

It's been difficult to find any information about breweries, beer and any brewing tradition from the area the German side of my family is from. We were from Ostpreussen, also known as East Prussia; a previous historical German State. More specifically from the general area of Königsberg, now...

What are some good movies ... romantic comedy, drama etc for a date night at home with one's spouse or significant other? A movie I saw a couple weeks ago: "Mostly Martha" from 2001 ... cute, German, romantic comedy (I know - that sounds completely contradictory). Story about a workaholic...

I've never heard of anyone managing to keep Lemon Wine around this long - often "truly good and truly gone" ... so here's the results I just opened a 12 year old wine bottle of ReaLemon-type Lemon Wine ("skeeter pee"). The wine was still clear and very pale golden yellow with no hint of...

While you can't easily use a refrigerator as a smoker due to the plastic content ... you can convert it to a curing chamber for meat. I'd been considering this project for a couple months, but just recently gave someone the refrigerator I was going to use ... anyhow, here's the info ... The...

Found this link while browsing the web today ... What an idea ... Something for everyone. Baby Shower? ... Bridge Party? ... Valentines Day Beer Tasting? ... yer kid's birthday? ... ahhh, yer daughters Girl Scout Cookie Sales? (!) ... Here's a link to Beer and Girl Scout Cookie pairing ideas...

I am trying to find any free, streaming feed of “regular” European (in particular German or Italian) television stations. That is, non-English language content ... and in the language of the country of origin. Not content generated originally for a website, but instead the regular...

I have a couple big cordless tool sets ... drill, spotlight, circ saw in each. These are Ryobi 14.4 volt tools. Each kit came with a couple battery packs (that you plug into the tool) and I've bought a few more for each. Expensive stuff. All are dead now. I've already done the "shocking...

It was only a matter of time before things like military drones made it to paper airplanes. Here is a cool drone-like paper airplane. Now, just how to outfit it with Hellfire Missiles? <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/-AZOcCdmEo4" frameborder="0"...

I've got way more tomatoes from my garden than I can use. I've given some to neighbors and family but I'd like to come up with some other ways to prepare them for use this fall/winter. Already I am blanching & freezing some of them. What are your favorite recipes (that will store), or ways...

We all remember bars, pubs and taverns that we were sad to see go away. For those establishments still around, there are likely some that you suspect that like the others might be at risk ... or at least remind you of those sorts of places that end up "truly good and truly gone" . Whether...

What have you always wanted to do? Climb a mountain ... play Carnegie Hall ... visit somewhere ... meet someone ... ? For me ... I've always wanted to play a musical instrument well. Melodeon or guitar or clarinet or piano or maybe bagpipes. I own the first three ... just never found...

Before it closed, my favorite pub used to keep a jar of pickled eggs, a jar of pickled sausages and a jar of pickled hocks on the bar. All homemade ... I still crave the stuff. Other places I've been to might have a nut heater for peanuts or cashews. What other non-restaurant type Pub...

As a kid, what were there things you did each year, every year - that you did only at that one specific time? Things you looked forward to ... or that let you know the season had changed. What traditions, both little and big, do you do in your family now? Not just things like a vacation in...

Even with all the geekyness on this board, I&#8217;m not aware of having any archeology fans here ... although I may be whistling in the wind, I figured I post this anyway in case any here were familiar with his work. The renown British archeologist Professor Mick Aston passed away a couple...

... as far as food. What is your (or your better half&#8217;s) &#8220;go to&#8221; dish or appetizer when going to a party or potluck? I just dropped off an appetizer to a 4th party I&#8217;m going to. To my dismay they were eaten by the time I left ... so much for the guests ...

Recently I came across this comment online ... "In the 80s UK, Boots, the chemists, who already sold home brew kits, developed a yeast that settled at the bottom of bottles as a gel. Unlike the sediment you're used to, that is disturbed when you tip the bottle, this just sat there." (btw...

It seems Youtube has how-to's and instructions on just about everything. A couple weeks ago I went to youtube for instructions on how to break down, remove and remount an automobile tire on a rim, manually .. that is, just with hand tools and dish soap. Today, I was installing a rotary...

I mean oldest model-year. Though my mom had a '57 Chevy that I drove ... it wasn't actually mine. So for me, the oldest car I've owned was a 1963 Oldsmobile Super Eighty-eight Holiday Coupe. Burgundy with white hardtop. Condition VGC overall ... near mint interior. I actually, literally...
