    Androids update sucks

    I know UI 7 was garbage and was released without much testing and was quickly replaced by UI 8. Although I'm not a fan of the new battery status icon, a lot of what was updated is useful. If you don't like the newest flavor, you're pretty much out of luck. It will be pushed to all modern...

    Thinkjng of downsizing from 3v to BIAB, any downsides?

    If you love cleaning, you're gonna be pretty disappointed.

    Inexpensive Cold Lager Fermentation

    I got a minifridge on Craigslist some time back. I cut the door shelves out and bent down the chill plate to fit a bucket. Still working like a champ today. If I had known about pressure fermentation at the time, I would've done that. You can make a really good lager at 80°+ ambient temp.

    New to the Brew

    "Mortar Porter". I can picture the label now.

    New to the Brew

    I don't like the term 'bottle bombs'. I much prefer 'surprise beer'. You just never know when the beer gods insist you drink.

    Favorite/Worst Cheap Beer?

    Mickey's Malt Liquor - I won't apologize. Reminds me of high school. Used to play "Edward 40 hands" with that, Old E, and Crazy Horse. Not sure why the malt liquor was so big. I'll still grab a 6-pak of the wide mouth from time to time. PBR - I'd rather quit drinking altogether.

    Best scale for grain

    Never liked the digital scales. I found this one is perfect for the beer room. I have a smaller analog for hops too.

    It fruit fly time how to eradicate?

    These have always been my go-to. A piece of fruit, a couple ounces of beer, keg dredges, etc. will collect all of them. Cut the top off a plastic bottle, invert the top, tape around if there are gaps.

    My woodworking hobby.

    Ahhh, Padauk. The 'I don't think I my shop is evenly coated with rust dust' wood. Gorgeous and finishes like a dream, but oh, the mess.

    Cost of homebrewing vs...other

    Can't say the same about steakhouses though. I can't bring myself to spend a steakhouse premium on what I can do at home for far less. I'll have the chicken.

    Cost of homebrewing vs...other

    The price difference paid for a nice pint on someone else's taproom patio is worth the cost of admission for me. Sure I can make it at home for a heluva lot cheaper. Can't have the same experience though.

    How long does uncrushed grain last in a container?

    On second thought. They are probably not only expired, but potentially dangerous and need to be disposed of properly. I will come pick them up free of charge and take care of them for you.

    How long does uncrushed grain last in a container?

    A year old is still in it's infancy. I have grains way older than that and they're still great. But, yeah...like everyone else said. Higher temp and humidity are your enemy.

    Draft Tower Cooler Kit Recommendation

    My $0.02 on @emersonvier 's initial question is either of those would work just fine. I believe I have one similar to the ColdTower model you linked. My bit of advice it to make sure there's a way for the air to return to the kegerator too. If your tower is packed with insulation, the tower...

    Draft Tower Cooler Kit Recommendation

    Oh, no. Don't get me twisted. I would never try to pull someone into the dark side. I wish him all the happy, blissful, half-buzzed days of pulling a tap handle of every delicious commercial beer available and never having to step foot in our realm.
