    The Walking dead

    Well Ricks gun is a python its a 357 magnum [I only know this because I Have an obsession with that gun], slighly weaker than the 44 magnum. I have shot a few deer,hogs, and grounhogs with a 357, It at close range [inside of 25 yds] Would most likely have hae smashed up a bit of the bone sround...

    Nordic Strawbanawi Mead

    Gypsum from what i have read is for adjusting ph and tds on your water profile [palmers book]. I usaually used distilled water so it is useless to me, and I have no experence with it. If you want a carbonated slighly sweeet mead you are wither in for alot of work or alot of waiting. First when...

    Is this insane, or should I go for it?

    The cubes may be worth an experement, seeing as the whole batch is an experment either way. Maybe a very very slight oaking would add a good bit of eathyness that would mesh or atleast not conflict with the wildflower honey. My semi educated guess is your going to need alot of yeast nutrient and...

    Is this insane, or should I go for it?

    I have had one oaked mead.. it was bleck. I spat it out. It wasnt over oaked, the honey and oak flavors just didnt meld like oak with a big burly red can. But that being said, go for it! Id like to watch, its a world of differnece from my session type melomels and braggots I like

    Budweiser project 12

    Monsanto is a whole can of worms by itself. They pateneted plant genetics, alowing them to call any plant with even a minute amount of a certain genetic sequence. This would make any plant that was polinated by wither open air or insect activity, there property. Forcing small farmers to pay...

    The Walking dead

    Wow that post was a full on dumpster fire of spelling and grammer. My bad guys and gals. Was at war with my kids who were trying to steal the dancing banna emoticon from the screen. Yes the bottomless magazine annoys me as well as the bullet trajectory being a lazer, and the balls of fir being...

    The Walking dead

    I just thought of something that mad ethe accuracy agu,emt a moot point. If we all watched the episode with Jenner in the CDC, he explains how the zombie brain works. He said something to the effect of it reanimates the brain stem, which is the part of the body that controls movment breathing...

    The Walking dead

    I dont believe they should all be super markmen, popping zombies with a mirror taped to the buttstock backward, I was not arguing that they learned the skill by hunting small game. I was arguing that it is entirely possible to shoot extremely well in a short period of time. I referenced my...

    The Walking dead

    ence the reason I said kind of, that whole scence was whacked out, and yes a few of the shots would have been realy impossible. That dosnt take away from the fact that if you cant hit a 6 inch target under 20 yds with a pistol stationary at around 80% or moving at around 40-50% you should retire...

    The Walking dead

    The shooting is only semi, unrealistic, Combat shooting and Police drills create a certain kind of shooter. I'm not saying they are ill trained i'm saying they arent the most accurate. When I was young [10-12] I used to hunt with a ruger markii. I could put about 70-80% of my shots right into...

    My begginers kit

    Another 5 gallon fermenting bucket with lid and airlock. If you are trying to brew a true 5 gallon batch I suggest a 6.5 gallon bucket, it will give you more head space, less chance of the lid blowing off and making a mess

    Best price on 6.5 gallon carboys?

    I'm not a genius by anymeans, but in my and alot of peoples opinions the scratched bucket thing is horse pucky. If you fill the bucket with water and sanatizer, the weight of the water will push its way into the crack, more brew lore. Its alot like the you need to replace your bucket every X...

    Boil Kettle Issue: BeerSmith Related

    Forgive my ignorance but why go through all the complication? Top up with pre boiled filtered water, and save alot of math headache and p.i.t.a

    Apfelwein yeast cake.

    Never had a problem, wash the yeast as in stickies in the beer section and reuse. Its more or less brew lore, most of it can be discounted by simple experementation

    1-Gallon Brewers UNITE!

    There two good solutions to this, either ferment the rest in another container [1/2 gallon milk jugs work in a pinch]. Or if it an all grain brew throw a couple of shots of scotch in it and have a few hot scotchies.

    1-Gallon Brewers UNITE!

    I did the same as mtate, just bit the bullet and bought the 2 gallon fermenter. I brew 1.25-1.5 gallon batches, giving me closer to a 12 pack than a gallon would. Label peelers sells them for around 7 bucks with a lid. Some other places sell them as a 1 gallon fruit wine kit. I bought two, and...

    1-Gallon Brewers UNITE!

    That is entirely possible, I have done something similar. Youll need 2 pots to do a quasi sparging biab sparging. I put 3.5 quarts in one pot and did the normal steeping, then mash out. I pulled the bag and put it in a colander above the pot to drain while I heated the other pot too steeping...

    The Walking dead

    If they went all dallas on this show, I would crap in a box of packing peanuts and send it to the exec director. Stuff like that is just a cop out for having actual storytelling skill. As far as Rick being inconsistent, I think its just there attemot at cramming 10lbs of character in a 5 lb...
