I have heard them called "Double-Deuce" before - usually refering to ones that contain such yummies as Old English or Colt 45.

Welcome! - I believe if you go to the recipe/ingredients page, you will find a nice handful of good'uns all gathered together in the top thread.

Ya... I have to agree - my method was always to put my strike water in first, over shooting the temp by a good 10 to 15 degrees. I'd even shlosh the water around to kind of get the top portions of the cooler a little heated up. Once the temp drops down whatever its gonna drop, it should remain...

Just another suggestion for the next batch... As already mentioned, the old blanket will help, but also, why not overshoot your strike water by 10 or 15 degrees (BEFORE PUTTING IN THE GRAIN) and let it sit in the cooler to warm it up a bit. You should get the bulk of your temp. drop in the...

That ROCKS, Yuri!!! :rockin: How did you do the flame trick? I would LOVE to rig something like that up... I bet I could get a bunch more $ for it when I put it up for sale very shortly.

I'm gonna second that request for a scan... I can't see me getting my hands on a copy before I move back to the states (FPO addresses get REALLY backed up over the holidays, and I'm moving into temporary housing Dec. 1rst when we close on my house here) If anyone could post a scan, or email...

My wife and I have been married for just under 2 years now, though we have been "dating" - mostly long distance - since 1998. In all this time, we still have not had our first fight... I'm beginning to think that we never will. She was previously married, but this is my first marriage. I have...

Here is my "Guam Bomb" I picked up for 500 bucks. Put another couple hundred into it for tires, tint, seat cover, etc. It's 19 years old now, so needless to say, the paint job was not exactly high gloss... needed some help. 50 dollars in Neon spray paint, one free Saturday afternoon, and a quick...

I think I have you on this one... I'm 37 and a grandfather of two - a 3 year old and a 2 year old. But, I cheated... I skipped fatherhood and went straight for Grandpa. SWMBO is 44 and started relatively young, as did her two oldest. Right now my 3 year old granddaughter lives with me - for...

Cant seem to do any of the hard stuff...with one exception: maybe this is a girly drink... I dunno, the stuff I buy is 100 proof... - But my all time fav is Sambuka and water. Exactly 50-50 in a tall glass filled with ice. Tastes like Liquid Good N Plenty to me. Hmmm... I think I just talked...

I don't really have much to add to this thread... It's just that... well, I read the entire thread... I have a lot of time invested here (your tax dollars at work ;) ) I felt like after that much reading, darn it, I deserve a post, don't I? Doesnt take much to make me happy... a twenty page...

Me Three! I love my hops, but it has to be balanced... Actually, I think I would take an under-hopped very matly beer before I'd take an overhopped not so malty beer. Shoot, for that matter I like that Goya drink, malted milk balls, malt powder for making shakes... do those count too? In fact...

Some would say that... still a little third worldish, but I don't think so... I'm gonna cry when I have to leave soon. Sigh... Last time I was at a game, Harry Carey sang (or slurred and sloshed, actually) take me out to the ball game...
