I still think it's a matter of market saturation when it comes to brewing kits & the like. Combine that with the explosion of craft beers in America, & you have another part of the reason. We are considered the mecca of craft beers in the world today as well.:mug:

Howdy! You picked the best place over here for current brewing ideas & Such. Besides wine & mead making, foodie stuff & tinkering. My dad's side is from Upper Bavaria. The wall ran through the middle of the city Johan Peter & his grandfather Kroeger were from. They sailed for America in 1728 &...

Some of them are expensive, like $560+. But some impressive numbers just the same. I figured 1400 FPS to be enough. Dang rabbits & starlings around here are annoying. Too many of'em...we'll see now! Click, click, boom!

Cold coffee with some kinda flavored creamer.

You can also get small diameter steel or aluminum tubing at hobby shops. I used to get it at slot racing shops back in the 90's.

Still waiting. Idk why the states around me & past me got theirs, but I'm still waiting?

To be honest, it didn't look that advanced?...

lol. Go troglodyte on'em! ORG, hurt, hurt, smash smash! ha. And them dang groundhogs must be related to them golf critters? After ya give'em both barrels, ya gotta take that funny-lookin' club & beat'em ta death! I've shot them things with my long-barreled antique 22 semi with CCI mini-mag...

10 gauge or less the regs say that I just looked at? Some hunting/shooting sites say stuff, then you look it up & do the WTF routine. Just picked up an ammo pen & 2 different weights of pellets/designs. Boy do they have a pellet for every situation now?! Varmints to birds to squirrels. Guys have...

Yes. Chill haze has no flavor of it's own. As the beer cools down in the fridge, the excess proteins start sticking together to make the beer appear foggy, or hazy. Usually overnight. Buy day 3-5, it starts to settle out like a fog bank. That said, if it's foggy going in, & refuses to settle...

That'll be at least another month. a few weeks minimum to see if it carbonates in the normal time frame. Then a week in the fridge. I'm going to age most of it for fall & holidays. Should go great with Christmas baking. In any case, I'll do a tasting video in a month. And yes, since I started...

Just looks like receding krausen to me, no slimy white bubbles. They're all clear. Looks ok to me?! :mug:

Well, found 50 pages of these new-style air rifles on Walmart website. Sheez, these things have 2-3 times the power my old 760 did! Better prices then Crosman site too. Bought this Winchester 1400CS with shoulder strap, 3-9X32mm scope, bipod, muzzle break & 1400FPS! New-era varmint bad-assery...

I also have my old Canon FTb 35mm...but they took my Kodachrome away, & my VR1000. damn. Good camera too...When I get a kegerator someday, the bottles might go up for target practice with my new Winchester...

Yup. Man's gotta know his limitations...:tank:

I've gotten both before. The rainbow, " oil on water" shimmer is from dry hop oils, usually. But that broken ice pack look is definitely an infection starting.

I was watching videos on YouTube, & stumbled onto modern air rifle vids. I came to wonder how well my old Crossman 760 Powermaster stacks up against these Modern Crossman PCP rifles? Anyone know off-hand? Like to use an air rifle for these damned starlings & rabbits.

It's real easy to slap together too. I experimented with this sort of recipe for years. Then the other day, it just popped into my head. You'll like the flavor & texture, I'm sure. :mug:

The infection is all through the beer, not just on top. that's just where it manifests itself. Besides, I tried the Starsan spray once & it helped very little, if at all.

I also have spigots on my primaries. Just pop the cap on the airlock & remove the center piece to fill the hydrometer tube. I spray the spout on the spigot before & after with Starsan as well. This has the added bonus of clearing any gunk out of the spigot.
