    4 packs of 16 ounce versus 6 packs of 12 ounce

    I only buy 3 packs, each bottle is 96 drams, 15 scruples. Anything else is mainstream trash.

    Do you need a hint?

    Last album you listened to...

    Will the Circle be Unbroken My daughter just got a turntable and is getting into vinyl. So I gave her all my old LPs and we listened together to this one last night. Something about listening to an album you grew up with along with your kid that's just ... awesome.

    Neighbor destroyed the blackberry bushes

    You would know better than me. But the reason I brought this up is when the guy that owns the 60 acre farm next to ours died, the kids could not agree what to do with it ... and none of them want to keep farming. So they ended up selling it and split the money. A developer offered the most...

    Neighbor destroyed the blackberry bushes

    Have you thought about making an offer on the property? I'd be worried in a few years his kids inherit the property and sell it and you end up surrounded by a few hundred houses or something. Just a thought.

    beers not dropping clear.

    Assuming nothing else has changed (yeast, recipe, temperature, process) it might. Calcium and pH both effect yeast flocculation. So, for example, if your current water is much lower in Ca2+ compared to before, you could get less yeast flocculation.

    Low gravity concentrated batches

    I think your plan sounds good and should work fine.

    Strong after taste after dry hopping in keg

    I sometimes get a "harsh" hoppy aftertaste, almost a "burn" (for lack of a better description) right after adding a lot of dry hops. It goes away in a few days. I would not expect that at the low hop levels you used, but in a delicate pils maybe? If so, I bet it goes away. Since you mentioned...

    My Journey to Belgium to Buy Westvleteren

    Cool story RedFlag, thanks for posting. I want to do this some day. It's looks like the Brothers just changed the process. They now have an online store where you reserve your beer to pick up at the abbey. I think they are trying to stop all the unauthorized resales by markets and individuals.

    Toxic Weed Killer Found in Almost All Beer and Wine Brands ... Including Organic

    Whether something is "toxic" depends on the dose, as anyone that ingests ethanol intuitively understands. Water is toxic if you drink enough of it. On the other hand, botulinum toxin (which is "natural" by the way) is one of the most lethal substances known; a few nanograms will kill you. And...

    Thoughts on this kegerator?

    My wife got me this exact model from Costco a couple of years ago. Mine came with gas lines, a 5-lb CO2 tank, regulator, connections for two corney kegs and for one sanke keg ... basically everything but the kegs. It came with castors you can attach if you want to, which I did. The only issue...

    What is your favorite extract kit??

    Me too on Dead Ringer and Caribou Slobber ... I've done at least 3 batches of each in extract and all grain and always like them.

    Diesel engine vapor lock?

    Thanks for all the replies. Turns out the fuel filter housing was leaking, allowing air into the fuel. They said cold fuel is more viscous than hot fuel so an early sign is it's hard to start when the engine is hot, compared to cold. Not me. Given the choice in any fluid, I always go with...

    Diesel engine vapor lock?

    Both times were after pulling a horse trailer with one horse. Unload the horse and then won't start. And both in warm weather. And both times were at the same place, 30 minutes from our house. It's only twice so it could be total coincidence, but it just struck me that both times were so...

    Diesel engine vapor lock?

    I would appreciate any thoughts on this. 2012 Chevy silverado 3500 diesel, about 180,000 miles. It's had two episodes that are very similar, one a year ago and one recently. After running about 30 minutes pulling a trailer (moderate but not heavy load), stopped for about 20 minutes. Then it...

    Double IPA overly sweet?

    You forgot the hops. No wonder it's too sweet. :-)

    Insomnia

    If you haven't already, I would see a doctor. Beyond that, ask for a referral to a sleep center.
