I knew I knew it... there's an underground bunker there built in WWII that was slated to be used as alternate offices for the Cabinet. I saw it on Underground Britain.

I'm failing spectacularly here... worst thing is, I know that I know this place...

Well the van is from an lift company (elevator service company) based in Enfield, so I'm guessing this is somewhere in Norf Landin, but I haven't figured it out yet...

The landscaping and the architecture of the modern houses at top right make it look like somewhere in the UK. Zooming in on the houses in the middle, the bay windows on the terraced housing are very English. Possibly a university or a military college? Could also be an old industrial building...

@tracer bullet was on the right track with the Rockies, but @pvpeacock is spot on with Jackson Hole. We took the tramway up and did the circ trail down to the gondola. i.e. the easy way.

Here's my excuse for being offline for a couple of weeks.

The pitch of the roof lines suggest Europe and there are not that many five-span truss bridges over rivers... some creative searching of such bridges suggests that this is the bridge that crosses the Daugava river in Riga, Latvia.

That’s a remarkably forgiving angle for the picture, based on having been there. Here’s another angle... I’m not claiming, as I’ll be off-line for a couple of weeks.

Thought that one might be quick! You’re up @pvpeacock

Yucaipa Valley Golf Club?

Longer times, so I feel a bit more comfortable with the All-American on my stove than one of the cheaper canners.

Good point on the cost. My All-American is overkill for starters, but I also use it as an autoclave.

For comparison, a pressure canner costs somewhere in the region of $400. Add $50 for mason jars and lids, and that $450 buys you 128 cans of Proper starter. If you brew every other weekend, that's about 3 or 4 years worth of starter (assuming your starters range between 1 and 3 liters per...

I’ll second this. Pressure canning a batch of starters every 6 months has been one of the best improvements to my brewing experience. I can come home from work, sanitize a flask, pop open a mason jar and have the starter going in 15 mins ready to brew on the weekend.

Checking in on this thread from the Mad Bishop and Bear. They only have London Pride on the engines right now, but it still smells of the fields that I used to play on when I was a kid. English hops and straw.

Well after two years of continuous operation, the Penguin pump in my long draw system finally failed. This was actually a regular Penguin pump, not the XL. I'm going to replace it with an XL and keep a second on hand as a spare.

I did a bit of digging and the code wasn't generating NANs. There's a default that sets the tilt data to N/A and I was mis-reading N/AN/AN/A as NAN for some reason (probably years of writing dodgy numerical analysis code). The slowness on the web page was just oversampling of the data. I...

Celebrating being covid free with this wonderful wild ale. Thanks @orionol73 and paxlovid!

I’ll look next time I go to Wegmans. If they don’t have it, no one upstate does.
