I really don’t like the taste of whisky in my beer so I don’t use it for tinctures. Some folks love the bourbon barrel aged stouts but I don’t. Not sure I would like rum either. I’ll try dosing a small amount in my next glass of stout and see.

I buy vanilla beans on line, still expensive but a fraction of the grocery store price. I make tincture/extract with vodka or Everclear. I feel like it’s the same thing as the high quality extracts. Same ingredients. As others have said, it takes a long time to make good extract, not just a few...

Do a search here on HBT for adding coffee, there are a lot of posts on this subject. From my research and personal experience, I would recommend adding whole beans to the fermenter a few days before bottling. I would not add it to the boil. I mean who boils coffee? It makes bitter yuck. You...

Have your butcher cut pork ribs the long way so you end up with little short "mini ribs". Start with St. Louis style ribs and cut into 2 or three strips.

If you mash is at say 146 and you pull the bag out and heat the wort to say 160, when you put the 146 or less grain back in, it will cool the wort down. You might want to heat a bit higher than the step you want if you take the grain out while heating.

I’ve done it three ways. 1) Hold back sparge water and bring it to a boil on a second heat source. Add it to raise the mash temp at the appropriate time. Brewers Friend has a calculator for this. It under estimates the amount of hot water I need to add. 2) Lift the bag and heat the wort. 3) Heat...

Analog baggage scanner. He went through the whole cart and checked baggage against a list.

I start at 1 gallon, bumped up to 1.3 to have a 12 pack of bottled beer. Then I moved up to 3.5- 4 gallons because twice the beer with the same amount of time and work. Slightly more time bottling but the rest is pretty much the same.

Makes one wonder why they might close that store…

I have talked about the fact that people have widely varying levels of tolerance for risk in the past. Those differences can lead to difficulty in having civil discussion and conversation. We saw that a lot in 2020. I appreciate that a lot of helpful information was shared before the evils of...

I was wondering how long it would take this discussion to go down this road...

I put some sugar in a mostly fermented beer once…lots of foam…

Read the instructions for the roofing material you want to use. If you follow the instructions it will work. There are not a lot of options for roof slopes below 2:12. That is two inches of slope for 12 inches of run. I believe the minimum pitch for 90 lb rolled roofing is 3:12. The peal and...

From the concrete resurfacing jobs I have seen over the years it does not seem like a real durable solution unless one uses a good product specifically intended for this purpose and Follows the manufacturer's instructions very closely. I have seen a lot of people spend a lot of time and money...

I do not mean to imply that it does not exist, but I have never heard of decomposed granite with resin. Plain decomposed granite will not form a hard surface. It will always be soft enough to come apart without much work using a pick or shovel. You cannot seal the surface. It is just sand and...

Maybe have a look at this thread.

I meant to say Manchester.
