Gorilla fisted mine last night while measuring the OG of my wort. Got shards of glass in my hand that the wife kindly dug out whilst laughing at me. 817

I replied to you via PM. We have been slowly working on this project. We found that the caps weren't uniform but we came up with a solution. We bought a bench capper and a used a Dogfish Head brewery bottle. We then lightly capped them onto the bottle and used a "wine key" to lightly pry them...

My wife drives a 1997 Grand Cherokee. It's had it's problems here and there but nothing that drained the wallet. Engine, transmission and transfercase are all original and not rebuilt. I had to rebuild the rear axle around 200,000 miles, but that was no biggie. It currently has 260,000+ miles on...

The outdoor life and Beer scene is a good one. There are few ships to pick from though as only 6 are homeported here. The motto of Naval Station Everett is "The Sailors Choice". If you do get the chance, it really is fun out here. Sure, the weather sucks (rain), but if you can find your...

That sounds dreadful. I run my stove on level 2 (out of 5) and it heats the house fantastically. I cranked it up full blast one time and that was way too much.

I'm still trying to perfect my bratwurst beer.

I've been stationed on Naval Station Everett Wa since 05. This base absolutely kicks ass. And the Microbrew scene in the PNW is fantastic.

I used to heat with wood and now I heat with a pellet stove. The romanticism of wood was nice and it was "free" but you know what they say, wood heats you twice. With SWMBO and my schedule it made more sense to heat with a pellet stove. We both worked at the time and we would start a...

I just brewed this on Friday I can't wait for it to finish. I kept to the original DME recipe but I used 1 full oz of magnums in a 4.75 gal boil because, lets face it, I like hops. I used Wyeast 1028 london ale. OG was 1.060. Will let you know how it turns out.

yessir.

Any quality scope should be calibrated for 1/4 inch moa adjustments per click at 100 yards. At 25 yards you multiply by 4 so for a one inch movement at 100 yards that should be 4 clicks in elevation. A one inch movement at 25 yards will be 16 clicks. So if you are shooting at 100 yards and...

Wheelin'. Other than that, making beer, drinking beer, guns, kids....

Get one of those crossman pump air rifles and see how many pumps each one can take.
