    Mars INSIGHT Landing Heads-Up

    I loved reading some of the comments: Hollywood! Fools for believing! Never happened! Fake news!

    how about a meme generator thread...

    I can’t do memes but a good one for this pic would be... Hold my beer...while I get another beer!

    Mars INSIGHT Landing Heads-Up

    They can land a rover on Mars but can’t make a strand of Christmas lights that work for a darn! [emoji1]

    AB InBev/Mead awareness

    I really doubt they are going directly after mead drinker and trying to convert them., at least I never took it that way. Mead, I believe, was probably a popular beverage of choice in the time period they are using for the commercial(s) so it just makes sense from a “theming” standpoint...

    Christmas list

    Good luck getting a quality one for that price! You may get an older model that’s been used a lot but not a newer model!

    Hose Cleaning/Sanitizing

    This thread reminds me of an old Rodney Carrington joke...helicopter, helicopter, helicopter! Ok, sorry!

    Designing kettle.

    I just found the steam slayer on line...interesting! May make me revisit electric in the future.

    Designing kettle.

    Perhaps you could use a 3rd port for whirlpool? I have a two port Spike - one port on top of the other. The top port was originally used for a thermometer but I now use it as a whirlpool port. I connect a small pump to the bottom port (ball valve) and run a hose to the top port, which has...

    When to add Pumpkin Purée?

    I added about 3 pounds of roasted pumpkin and 2 cans of pumpkin from the store for a 60 min boil. I put it all in a bag. Turned out well but wonder how much I get from the actual pumpkin vs the spices.

    Rye Beer & Caraway Seeds

    I made a pumpernickel stout and used rye malt, flaked rye and crystal rye + 3 tsp of toasted caraway seeds. I also took about 10 slices of black pumpernickel bread, toasted, cut in cubes, and included in my mash. 8 # MO 3 # Rye 1 # Flaked rye 1 # crystal rye 10 oz black barley 8 oz flaked...

    Help Me to Understand This

    I find my TILT gets wonky when I cold crash. A few beers ago my TILT showed I was around 1.001 or something so I thought I had an infection. Nope! All normal when I took a hydro sample. I bet if/when you take a hydro sample it will be closer to your expected FG.

    What brewery are you visiting?

    We have something similar called Sand Lot - it’s part of Coors Field (Colorado Rockies stadium). I believe that is where Blue Moon was first brewed if memory serves me correct.

    Aaron and the terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad brew-day.

    As the old saying goes... Sometimes you get the bear, and sometimes the bear gets you. Sounds like you were the bear food today, buddy! Sorry you had a bad day but seems like you kept your sense of humor and will live to brew another day! On the plus side - you broke a carboy and didn’t...

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    Brewed my Bulldog Slobber on Sat. It’s an ESB with some rye thrown in for fun! This is becoming one of my standard beers on tap.

    I Really am Snob

    Man I love a good cup of coffee. I have a nice machine that makes what ever I tell it to make and I love it! I used to travel through Asia and Europe a lot and hated...HATED the coffee in the rooms. Especially Asia. Stick to tea. And for all you who put “adjuncts” in your coffee you...

    Infected bucket for starsan storage

    I use a Homer bucket for star San storage. Dirt cheap. I’m not overly worried about “food safe” in this instance. if you want to use your maggot bucket for something then maybe a trash can in the garage, a junk pail for yard work, soak car parts or something.

    Most annoying response when you tell someone you're a homebrewer?

    Or when their “response” is to open the bottle and take a big swig!

    I’m going to walk into my Lhbs and ask for element 1 with yeast 7, please.

    Underletting w/ a false bottom question

    For my last batch I heated about 1g or so of water on the stove and put that in my cooler for about 20 mins, dumped the water, milled directly into the cooler, and then began the underletting. I think I lost any benefit of preheating with the time it took to mill, etc. I came out a little...
