    VPN'S & Internet Security

    Another way of stating not every website has it. I don't get your fervor on this issue. You've posted more than anyone else with the exact same opinion every time. And it is just an opinion.

    alternatives to ez-masher?

    I used an ez-masher for years and I still have mine though it has been about 8 years since I last used it. It worked pretty well for a decade or so and was definitely well made but isn't the be-all-and-end-all by any means. Jack may have never had a stuck mash with his but I managed to have...

    VPN'S & Internet Security

    https://www.csoonline.com/article/3246984/why-you-should-never-ever-connect-to-public-wifi.html I use a VPN primarily for this, the other benefits are gravy.

    Which charcoal smoker do you have?

    I can't imagine how someone would get tired of a pellet smoker. Mine has push button electric start very short time to get to set temp precise temperature control anywhere between 200 and 550 degrees wifi connectivity to see and reset temperature easy clean up easy refueling dual built in...

    why use a pump...

    When I BIAB I use a pump to: Recirculate wort during mashing back into the bag over the top of the grain. I probably don't need to do this but I think it helps with extraction and improves clarity and since I have a pump handy why not? Whirlpool hops after flame out. I do this with the...

    Film in Bottom of Keg

    In Bottom of Keg would be a good name for a film. Dibs.

    Experiences with pellet smokers?

    I'm glad you are happy with yours even though mine was a lemon and I appreciate the suggestion.

    AHA Membership. Why/Why Not?

    Sounds like there must be a story behind this comment. I joined for a few years in a row back in the mid 90s but eventually got tired of Zymurgy which was basically the only AHA benefit at the time. I was also subscribing to the now defunct Brewing Techniques which I thought was a better...

    Oxygenation during transfer to secondary

    The kit instructions just said 'transfer to secondary' without suggesting how to do this or stating why avoiding aeration was a good thing? Which kit are you using?

    Remote control overload

    Fakespot gives those collective reviews an F rating. While fakespot isn't 100% perfect I would be wary of relying on them too much at face value. Reviewmeta also reports a high number of unnatural reviews.

    Remote control overload

    Hopefully they have made a lot of progress in the last decade when I last had a Harmony remote but I hated mine. It was difficult to setup and inconsistent in its control of just a TV, Comcast cablebox, and Denon stereo. Finally I ended up with a Comcast cablebox remote which would control all...

    LHBS Ouratgeous Prices

    Nothing on that receipt is outrageous except the C02. My local gas distributer charges $9 for 5# and $17 for 20# refills or exchanges. Op, why didn't you just say no thanks on the C02 exchanges when you were told the price at checkout?

    What would you think...

    if you went into a London pub with this signage which includes the words "Purveyors of Finest Ales, Stout & Porter" and neither the bartender nor the owner knew what a Porter was?

    Water saving cooling solutions

    I do almost exactly this. I freeze 4 gallon jugs of water before brew day and after initially cooling with tap water though an immersion chiller down to around 100 I switch to water from an old 5 gallon Igloo cooler which has the ice from those jugs in it. I use a pond pump to send the water...

    Hello from the Gulf coast.

    Another gulf coaster here welcoming you. If you state your location a little more precisely someone here might be able to connect you up with a local homebrewing club or homebrew store if that is part of the direction you seek.

    I'm sorry but light beer sucks.

    Caring what other people drink is a stepping stone to beer snobbery.

    Brewing software suggestions?

    I used a custom spreadsheet for 22 years then Beersmith for the last 6. It works great for me so why look elsewhere?
