    Show us your sculpture or brew rig

    Incidentally, this is the setup I'm looking at: http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/brewing/brewing-equipment/all-grain-equipment/blichmann-top-tier/blichmann-top-tier-modular-brewing-stand.html Should I or shouldn't I. Are there any others with the same features and a more stable base

    Show us your sculpture or brew rig

    I've been looking at the three tiered systems - northern brewer in particular. Im worried about stability, but am otherwise ready with the cash to pull the trigger. Given that I am going the store-bought route, what can anyone tell me about them? Are they stable? Who makes the best ones out...

    Forum style software / web hosting

    So what is phpBB? Having checked out vbulletin: Do I have to have a domain from a provider before I can create a message board with the vbulletin software? If so, how does one upload a vbulletin message board to said domain? I'm a very small business and don't have much IT...

    Beer-Related Baby Name?

    I second Cooper and Kent. Kent actually works two ways: hops and Burton on- famous brewing region. My brewing partner and his SWMBO have two little Belgian ankle-biters named Stella and Duvel. Not so sure Corsendonk would be a good name for a kid, maybe Trap (as in -ist) If you're...

    Forum style software / web hosting

    Hello, all. I have been a passive fan of HBT.com for several years and have watched the site grow impressively. Can anyone answer the following questions (I tried asking the administrators, but they're busy, I suppose): Exactly what is the name of this particular forum / message board...

    Ken Burn's new series- Prohibition.

    Okay, haven't seen it myself but I have them set up to dvr this week. I will draw your attention to paragraph 2 of the original post: Samuel L Jackson. I say we put together a little faux quote collection "How did this mutha ****in' amendment get in this mutha ****in' Constitution!?" "I'm a...

    Aged Cider in Bourbon barrel

    I'd be hard pressed to come up with anything that's not better when aged in a burbon barrell!

    Bear Grylls

    Just discovered this meme here. Awesome! Reminds me of the Southpark episode on Steve Erwin: "Oh, there's a giant python. i'm gonna stick my thumb up its butt,"

    Going through the Big "V" and i don't mean Vegas.

    Okay 12 may be a bit young, but at 18, you're wearing big boy panties. If you perrsonally want it done, its your choice. I have known since I was 20 -before I even met SWMBO - when I knew I didn't want kids and haven't changed my mind since. Wish i'd listened to myself at the time. I just...

    Going through the Big "V" and i don't mean Vegas.

    I don't think anybody else's covered this, but I'm in the "best day of my life" club. SWMBO and I had been together 5.5 years. Don't have kids, don't want kids. Happy as pigs in $#!+ to be a DINK couple (Dual Income, No Kids). Not "One and done," a but "None and done" kinda couple...

    If I was into 'staches, I'd be all over it.

    just saw a fruit fly buzzing around my active carboy...

    Yeah, your system seems sound. maybe spritz down the outside of the system with an oxygen based sanitizer and see if that helps. Seems like the safest to me, but honestly, I think you're okay unless you get a colony moving in right on top of your setup.

    Losing the will to brew

    One thing that I've found to help stave off the brewing blues - really for me this is just the prioritization of brewing lower on the grand list of things than it should be - is to surge my brewing. Brew your @ss off for, say, two months doing as much as you can handle. For me that's a modest...

    Aussie Rules Football

    I've watched Aussie Rules and can imagine that if I actually knew something about it, it'd be great. Eight Months, Baby! GO DAWGS!!!
