    What did I cook this weekend.....

    Black chicken & fresh ho-made tofu soup. Basic simple cure-all soup. Chicken, salt, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, garlic. Served with a fresh squeeze of lime and pepper sauce. I get the heads and feet 😋.

    Shot for an IPA, ended up with a double.... 🤔

    Well.. how about your recipe to start, attention to extract and water volumes. With extract, I rarely bother with an og. Your dme/lme are notorious for giving false OG reading due to incomplete mixing. The limited added sugars from steeping grains/partial mash add a negligible amount of sugar...

    Smoking Cornish Game Hens

    I use about 2:1 ratio of cherry and hickory, though occasionally I'll just use oak. I'll go about 200-225 to an I.T. of 145. Then raise the heat to 325-350 to crisp the skin till I.T. and I.T. is around 150-155.

    How annoyed would you be?

    I think a friendly email would appropriate. Wife has bought a gallon of oil online and it leaked, box delivered from usps or ups was soaked. Contacted the company, sent us a replacement. Same thing happened again, and once again sent a replacement, this time the lid was taped and was double bagged.

    Duotight fittings cracking

    Expansion and contraction as you pull your taps. If they are flexing on each pull of the tap and hitting a hard surface. Ive not seen it, but not saying it couldn't happen. I have seen wear marks in lines liquid lines from flexing of coils in a friends jockey box. The worm clamps slowly rubbed...

    Duotight fittings cracking

    How/where are they being used? Wondering if they are under stress or high vibration.

    how about a meme generator thread...

    Are these real? I might need to get some. That way everything could be a riff-trax.

    Homemade PBW Recipe

    Let me start by saying that I have not balanced the equation to verify my argument, not do I have any intention as I do not add citric acid for the reason mentioned by @IslandLizard . Arguably, this is not an issue while anhydrous, but in solution, the citric acid will neutralize some of the...

    Excessively cloudy homebrew

    This may be correct when following the recipe to the letter; however, was anything different this time? Ah, that's right, a variable. This means that you can follow the recipe as a guide, but must understand that it will not be exact. I don't know much about dried honey other than the water is...

    Wow. I actually enjoy my Homebrews!

    To be fair, while not all of my creations are perfect, none of them sucked. I'll admit to "proud papa" some of them. Others that I've been disappointed with I've been told were really good by people with trusted opinions. The end product didn't meet what I was intending, but taking out personal...

    Can't complete dry

    So... Many questions... 1st, hydrometer or refractometer. 2nd, raisins. Semi-controversial arguments, but they are essentially useless for nutrients as very little is bioavailable. Really, you need to look into tosna with an appropriate nutrients. I'd say, fermaid o, but probably others that...

    Need black pipe tap tower advice

    Any tower pics? Curious how they turned out. Was kind of thinking galvanized for a future backyard project.

    Starting lacto fermentation

    You're on the right track. Garlic goes well with lacto-chili ferments. Not sure if freezing kills the lacto or not. Sometimes I'll add a splash of liquid from a jar of pickles, kimchi or kraut kind of like a starter culture. Especially if it has a good sour profile already. Or if you have some...

    Is this a thermostat?

    Its probably an upgrade from stock as the original analog device was probably numbered 1-5. This at least puts you in the known range. However, this unit is old. Probably at minimum 30 years. Thermostat may or may not still be accurate. Put a bottle of water and leave it overnight before...
