I only got some bull**** legal form stating that since it is not an entire tooth, I am not entitled to any benefits. I never would have guessed the tooth fairy would have such a crack legal team

You bribed her with a beer didn't you? She is a wine drinker. That would have worked far better.

Anyone heard from Dan? Must be on the beach, sand between the toes, staring at the wonderful sunsets. Hopefully a beer in the hand too.

Alohaa! That's what they say here.



Hey Doug! Not quite that perfect but the air is clean, the sky is clear blue, the hilltop we live on is very cool, and I have had some ocean breeze on my face and white sand between my toes..

My priorities might be a bit wrong but I dug through the closets and cupboards after arriving to look for my brewing equipment. Can't find my small gram scale, refractometer and stir plate. I know there are many things more important to worry about. Like a job -(I have been searching for one a few months now)


Very nice to see this great site rolling along with good friends sharing. Maybe an end to a harsh winter for Ischiavo and Reinstone. Spring is so awesome.

I'll check in later friends.

Mahalo (thank you) for your friendship and support over these last few years.

I tried to post it in a window, ...no luck. How do I do that? anyone?

It is over-carbed, but after it settles down it's pretty good beer. Icing it down helped some too.

I just came out for a smoke so I like it if only for that reason.

Hypothetically speaking, how many deviled eggs could a man eat in one day without dying? They are just so damned good!

Good night HBT. How are we doing this time of the day?


Newb question here - with homebrews... I've only bottle one brew... mostly due to the time required and that I've had kegs since day 1.

If you plan on bring a sixer or two to a friends, how to do you keep the yeasties in the bottle and not in your stomach on short notice?

Click to expand...

• Bottle from your kegs. The easiest way is, when you're kegging, rack beer into 2L plastic soda bottles and cap with one of these. Then carbonate with your keging system. No yeast. I can have beer carbonated and ready to drink in 5 minutes by doing this and shaking the crap out of the 2L bottle. You need one(or more) of these! BTW, 2L is slightly more than a 6-pack. Woot.
• Pour carefully, and pour once. Tilt it once, pour the beer, watch for the yeast to come down, stop pouring. If you get foam in the glass, and you have to stop pouring until the foam recedes, then you pour again: you're screwed.
• Refrigerate the bottles for as long as possible. The yeast will pack down tight with extended refrigeration.
• Use yeast that flocculates well. S-04 and other english yeasts form a nice hard cake.

I can't remember if I already posted these. I did both of these last weekend. The flower painting is more of an experiment with neon paints.

bberg said:

I'm thinking i'll need to get me one of those... Any loss of carbonation long term? How do you force the O2 out?

passedpawn said:

Fill with beer except for an inch or two of headspace, squeeze the sides till all the air is out, screw top on, connect CO2 and kapow. 2L are compressible, unlike bottles and cornies.

I wouldn't do this for long-term. Might be OK, but I do it for quick-carb and to deliver a sixer to events.

Aloha friends!

Ive been here a week as of tonight. Spending some relaxing time, a little coming back together stress with my wife. Mostly been good, i dont understand gals completely.

Not why i wrote. I included a pic of a standard 78 cent household electrical outlet.

How the heck do i remove the little tab that connects the outlet sides. I want one outlet isolated on the hot side from the other. The neutral side can share a lead but the hot side needs independent inputs.

This should be easy, probably is. But i have no clue. I could rip it apart a bit and achieve the result i am looking for, but figure this must be a fairly common modification and i dont get it

Thanks. Cheers Good people!

Use a needlenose pliers, bend back and forth a couple of times and it will snap off.

If you're doing a lot of wiring, there are needlenose that will make it all a lot easier. Strip, cut, push etc, the needlenose can do it all. I rewired my whole house with one good pair.

Dan said:

Pappy, are you talking about the little tab at the top of the junction between the two brass (or whatever they are) screws? I totally believe in good tools saving the day, as much as crappy tools make life tough. Haha.

So I should just grab a good pair of needle nose pliers and twist the tab in the center up and down till it breaks.?

God, I miss you guys!
