I carry a Walther PK380, and after several concealment holster purchases, I'm resorting to a shoulder holster. For whatever reason I can't find a pocket or inside the waist that conceals and isnt uncomfortable as all get out.

If I had that kind of money, I probably would. I mean, that's pretty cool. But... I gotta wonder why the hand holding it is wearing gloves... If I wouldn't touch it with my bare hands, would I drink after it? (after enough beer the answer is yes).

I just came across this thread trying to google a recipe for star thistle mead, and noticed your location. I grew up in Shingletown myself. Small world.

So in.

I am getting ready to dive into all-grain pretty soon and getting started on a cooler conversion first. I have an old Rubbermaid cooler that I never use but I am not really sure how big it is, the volume isn't printed anywhere on the thing. So I busted out the old tape measure and calculator...

So, does DME have any sort of shelf life? Whatever small amount is left over after brew day I usually save for priming or making starters with. After the package has been opened, I put the remainder in an air-tight container on my countertop for the next month or so until I need some. I'm...

Yup.

Awesome, I've got nothing to worry about then. Thanks!

Even if I racked to a tertiary for a week before bottling?

DFH 60 minute Inversion IPA Hoptimum

Hard to say, but whether or not it mimics the DFH, it looks like it will be a damn good beer regardless. I'm interested to hear how this one comes out!

Dang.. The most I ever got for free was a billion Grolsch bottles I'll probably never use with about 2 tons of spider webs in them.

As much as I hate to admit it, I don't think the big boys are going anywhere anytime soon. But then again, would craft beer and homebrewing be appreciated so much if they did? They have a right to sell their product as much as anyone else, but I would like to see them loosen their stranglehold...

Another noob question for you all. Let's say you've had a brew in secondary for a while, like a month or two. Would it be necessary to add more yeast on bottling day? Or would there still be enough cells floating around to carb still? AND.... if adding yeast IS necessary, whats the process...

Count me in sir! :mug:

Cool, sounds like 3 or 4 should be fine then. I bought a 4oz bag of chips from my LHBS, and he told me to use the whole bag.. Do you think that would be too much? They're "light toast" american oak chips, if that makes any difference.

Brewing a vanilla stout soon, and I was going to put the beans and some oak chips into the secondary after soaking them in Maker's for a few days. My question is: how long should I leave them in secondary, and more importantly, how many beans should I use?? I've looked at several different...

Seems like everyone has gotten their scoresheets. Who do I need to talk to to get mine?

I don't really have the means to cold crash it, but I'll try sheathing the siphon tube like you said, sounds like it would work pretty well.

I just threw all mine in loose and they turned to mush and floated to the top, heh. I suppose that's normal though? I am prepared to rack out of it. I already added the hops when I went to secondary on Monday, and I'd like to let it sit in secondary for more than a week, so I guess my best...
