    Random Drunken Thoughts Thread

    This is my rural Midwestern showing, but it seems like shining for deer has really dropped off in popularity. Though I wonder if people get their fill of it just from driving around.

    Time to change internet providers...

    I'm paying $65/mo for a 6mbps service with ~5% downtime. So when Spectrum finally arrives, I'll be more than happy even at full rates.

    Hard water treatment.

    I too live with great tasting water that happens to be as hard as a mother-inlaw's glare with 350ppm bicarbonate. I personally went with a cheap RO system only because I can hook it up at work and use the city water pressure to run it (my 40-60psi well system was inadequate without a booster)...

    Fishing!

    I forgot about this thread! Last weekend, I got up to Chequamagon bay to catch a very patchy smelt run. 50 degrees and dead calm is the best weather I've ever experienced. And around 2am our drunken antics payed off with just enough smelt that cleaning them wasn't a huge deal.

    So what did you do with your OTHER hobbies today?

    Don't feel rushed to remove hatched chicks from the incubator. They don't need food or water for two days, and I feel the jostling and "cheering" helps the other chicks hatch out as well. And losing the humidity from the incubator can shrink-wrap actively hatching chicks. Can't help with any...

    Yall - I have never been this excited for the possibility of having a Spectrum bill. They are burying cables as we speak.

    Anyone planning to get the Nintendo Switch 2?

    I just boxed up the N64 to make room for the Switch like three years ago. Which is one reason I'm really leery of the current push for download/subscription based gaming. I still have the Xbox360 running for DVDs and non-kid friendly games.

    And my brain still can't grasp how this is clearly better than recycling the used fuel rods.

    Rescue a frozen NEIPA

    I froze a DIPA once and also observed a marked decrease in the overall hoppiness as well. Most likely the freezing causes a large number of the polyphenols and oils to come out of solution and settle out. You maaaaaaybe could referment with another dry hop charge, but that's frankly half the...

    Lowest price homebrew

    If you have the time and inclination to pick up a hobby within a hobby, you can malt your own too! I did a 100% home malted wheat beer with reused yeast and homegrown hops last year for <$10 for 10 gallons. So cheap can be done, but it gets farther from easy as you do.

    How long should I boil my planet to get rid of DMS?

    Bass and Whitbread: Bitters?

    Near as I can tell from my browsing of Ron Pattinson's blog @kevin58 linked, the brits were somewhere between "very cost conscious" to downright cheap. They may still be today, I don't know. But everything seemed geared toward hitting the optimal $/alcohol value which generally floated around...

    Freezing finished beer to up ABV

    It'll freeze from the outside inward. But not as a hard cube (unless you go too long), rather a porous ice like a sno-cone.

    Freezing finished beer to up ABV

    Your method would certainly work - the more frozen it is, the longer it takes to separate, but the higher the concentration. Generally, I figure on +25-40% since I use mother nature as my freezer. A distillers hydrometer is calibrated for an ethanol/water solution that has a gravity <1.0, so...

    Horribly cupped tires in conjunction with a bad U-Joint have made me question reality before.
