Both groups feel entitled. Entitled people make me mad.

I just checked up on Revvy, he's still posting. His last was today. Don't know about Yooper Got to admit the only time I"m on HBT lately I post here, on this thread.
Sure they're both still around. They are a foundation of this forum.
Yooper changes her avatars out, seems like quarterly. Sometimes she's a Dominatrix and next some grisly bearded old man or football player. I have no who any of them are but it's pretty important to Yooper.
It's probably obvious to most..just not to me.

Wow that guy is druk not just drunk.
Sigh I got some more work to do I guess. I had a stuck sparge and the silly dang braid worked its self up in the mash. I know I had way to much flour but the braid working its way up sucks.
On the bright side I hit all my efficiency points with only adding a half pound of base malt. Well I think that was all I added

I read that thread a while back, very funny. Reminds me of a friend that passed several years back. We called him "Old Man Frank". 90-something when he passed. He was pissed when they wouldn't let him use vehicle seats in his yard for extra seating around the fire pit. I loved him dearly. Used to sit on the porch with him and he'd tell me war stories, etc. And swat mosquitoes off me. Rolled up newspaper, hitting me with it, telling the mosquitoes "Leave my friend alone!" Didn't hit hard, just enough to swat the bug. I miss him...

See, that is the sad side of over-entitled. They dont even realize that they are slaves. They need to support some very bad people and ideas for their survival and security. Breaks my heart.

Ah, you had feared a stuck sparge, all that flour. I guess the rice hulls didn't prevent it from happening.

Hey... it was just deleted.... the whole topic, was probably offensive in so many ways... to those easily offended so I understand why.

Me too BobbiLynn. Been like that forever though. Probably not going to change. Only thing a person can do about it is how they handle it.
How about servants, indentured servants to royalty? They made an honorable society consisting of their own values including rules and a sense of worth. Eff any ahole who doesn't see the value in his fellow man. Not sure how to change that opinion other than be a real person with honor. Nobody can take that away no matter how important they are.

Completely agree, but glad he at least temporarily got some things off his chest(well, unless just trolling like you said). If it was true, poor guy and glad to see he will remain anonymous. Sending kind thoughts his way if it was all true.
Added: Also perfect example of things that happen "this time at night"!

A couple pages ago in this topic I mentioned money trouble. Sent my nephew to get a load of manure for the compost pile(we haul it away from the horse farm for them for free... in other words free manure for us). And the farm we get it from wants to buy a tractor and several other things. We have so much extra stuff piled up, hubby is a hoarder, that we can sell without leaving ourselves short on anything. Who really needs 8 tractors? Hubby just liked to collect them. Don't want to see one go either, but really, just let it go. So groceries showed up(was family) and now money dropped in our laps. Life is good.
Hey Dan, looks like you are off to a good start on your cheese making adventure. I have been reading up on the processes involved and am planning on trying it once I get a few other issues sorted out. I'm kind of lucky in that I know enough guys that are still milking that I can get raw milk right from the farm. Holsteins predominate, but still some Guernsey and Jersey herds around too. There is even a guy just north of town that milks sheep. So plenty of different raw ingredients to fuel the process.
Keep us updated on your progress!

Man you guys really partied in here last night.. I slept like the dead, maybe I'm fighting something off. Cool cheese, Dan.
Had to figure that was coming eventually. I must admit, I very rarely eat bacon. I like it and all, but I find good ribs to be MUCH better than bacon.
OP

That's great! Although I live in dairy land (lovely smell) I don't have access to raw milk. I was just reading yesterday that sheep's milk is high in protein and vitamins and produces two and a half times more cheese than cow's or goat's milk. It also takes less rennet, less salt, the curds can be cut larger and less pressure is used.
Sounds like you are in a win-win situation!
I guess you are in the land of the mega-dairies. Although there are also more small dairies in California than any other state also. They may be in a different part of the state, but you could always call the county Extension office to see if you could get any info on any smaller operations in the area. Maybe you could do a beer for milk swap.
I need another hobby like I need a hole in my head, but cheesemaking has always interested me.

No tricks. Peanut butter and bacon sandwich is delicious. I don't kid when it comes to bacon and peanut butter.
BTW, not that I want to laugh and snortle at somebody making a fool of them-self drunk. That would be like the pot calling the kettle black. But just out of curiosity which thread BL?
When I was younger, I used to make peanut butter and bacon bit sandwiches. Everyone thought I was crazy. I got one of my friends to try it and he went home and asked his Mom if they could have that for dinner. She called and complained to my parents about it. I haven't had one in many moons. I'll have to make one and see if they're still as magical as I remember.

My buckets are all 6.5 gallon puto. This is fermented with 1010, there's no way a bucket will hold it back even if I left the lid completely off.

You and your 8 gallon carboy! I want one. Just don't know where I'd find a giant milk crate to put it in.

And it looks like you might need a blow off tube soon. I went back to Army surplus yesterday to buy those 15 gallon buckets and they were gone already
But I found boxes of thermometers that you could screw into a brew pot for 15 bucks. Heavy duty ones they looked like

Selling junk is a lot of work. Lots of digging around, wrestling with car parts, trying to find tractor parts... We have 25+ old broken down cars and trucks and massive amounts of other things. 2 campers. Some neat looking metal lockers, like old shop lockers with the top shelf and place to hang stuff. Used to be painted red and you can see into them, you know not solid metal, like grid pattern whatever you call it. Going to put one in my shed because I just like the rustic way it looks. Just so much stuff it's overwhelming, 3 generations of hoarders attributed to the collection. Need to call American Pickers, they would be impressed, rusty stuff as far as the eye can see. Huge barn packed full then 1-2 acres behind it with stuff everywhere. Coolers alone, at least 30, in various shapes and sizes. Old, good quality ones. Might be able to put those in the classified section here.
One word... overwhelming... glad hubby agreed to start selling some stuff. We got a bunch of pictures today but my nephew has the memory card thing with all the pics on it. He's going to start putting some stuff on craigslist.
Long day....

Good luck in selling you're unneeded stuff - simplifies your life and gets you some cash - win-win!
Just make sure either someone is with you when someone from Craigslist shows up, or at a minimum let someone know every time someone is supposed to come out. A lot of weird and scary people troll Craigslist.

My nephew is going to handle a lot of the selling. He's out of work right now. Give him a commission. He'll have to call me when anyone comes over, so I can be there for his protection.
Also found over a dozen scales, measuring everything from grams and ounces up to a 2 ton scale. And enough tools to open a store, duplicates of lots of stuff. They couldn't find the tool obviously so had to go buy a new one!We'll, hopefully-if we find enough buyers, be able to even hire help to get our spring crops in the ground and have plenty enough money to last us until harvest time. I am beat, both physically and mentally. Probably won't be doing much partying on here tonight but who knows...

Might pay to have a auction Bobbi. Sounds like you have enough stuff to do so.
I am not going to party tonight either. Took a nap today and still feeling wiped out. But I woke from my nap to a room smelling of wonderful fermentation

Not a bad idea. Some friends were talking about hosting a musical event here on the property as a fund raiser for hubby. We are paying out of pocket for his medications and medical supplies. Live music/auction... sounds good. There is even a Jaguar(sports car) in [almost] running condition and looks pretty good. Not sure the year, but it's been in the barn covered for almost 15 years. We also found so much cast iron cookware, 40+ pieces that can be cleaned up with hubby's oxygenator machine thing. Like a current that runs to a huge metal tub, drop rusty stuff into it and in a couple days, no more rust. Yeah, time to get to work, raise some money, keep this farm going strong.
Hope it all works out well for everyone BobbiLynn.
I need to spend more time in the beginner threads and FAQ's.
But I have not seen this really dumb question:
Why do we siphon out of buckets?
Why not just use a spigot and hose when going to secondary or direct bottling?
Given my experience last night of not being able to maintain a siphon and finally just pouring the beer through a metal coffee strainer to get it out...
And, yes there were bubbles on top of each bottle as the wife capped.
I left plenty of room in the bottles for fear of what I had wrought!
I'm sure they will be drinkable, just not premium.

Depending on the age of the car, maybe one of those reality shows will be interested.
