Used to be the town of Corrine Utah sold regular strength beer and on Sundays as well/ Brigham Young hated the place so much it was not considered a part of Utah. That as recent as 1980. For those in Arizona, there is a parcel of land south of Ash Fork called Santa Maria Land Float #5. It...

I hate computer ads. They all pump up the price with add ons when you try to order one for the advertized $599 or whatever. Dell is the worst of them. But the ads for things like payday and car title loans are really bad. You might as well say goodbye to your life if you go to one of those...

I don't do holiday decorations. No family and my place is rather remote without any passing traffic. I do decorations at the VFW and Order of the Purple Heart.Wish I could brew more and give it away at both places. The bar has only bottles and cans of Bud, Coors and Hamms. Even mixed drinks...

That's a big difference. I would expect DME to run about a third more than LME. Look for someone like MoreBeer that has free shipping. I'm sure you can get the DME cheaper.

The US military should set up breweries wherever they go. I found where the British had brew ships during WWII. Hope your brew benefits from the extended aging, and a safe return to enjoy it.

I've heard that most pumpkin pies don't contain pumpkin. Some other squash is used. How about doing some target practice on them with guns .22 through 12 gauge?

The cost of rice syrup or rice dme is so close to the cost of barley DME or LME, that you might as well use it and give your brew more body and flavor. Rice syrup is cheap for Budweiser to use because they buy it in incredible volume. For the ome brewer, better fermentables can be obtained for...

I'm having Thanksgiving at my local VFW Post. I will be on the serving line for about 2 hours and clean up detail afterwards. I am privileged to associate with other vets, especially those that are homeless and alone.

Brewing grains should be good to feed dogs and wildlife. Hops, however are toxic to dogs and should be kept away from them. My experience is that dogs don't like hops though. I had a 15 year old collie that was arthritic. I used to give him a beer from time to time and he would become energetic...

Water was a great source of typhoid and many other diseases prior to the early part of the 20th Century. On the Mayflower, each person was allotted a gallon of beer per day. Egypt supplied pyramid builders with a gallon and a half of beer vper day. Wine during all these millinium was reserved...

Bleach vaporizes and disapates fairly easily. It should neither interfere with fermentation or taste

Just reading a new set of tires for the Bugatti Veyron runs $14,000. And it needs a new set every 15000 miles or less depending on driving. It will make me feel lucky when I pay $200 for new tires on my car, or $600 for my truck.

Could just take a taste and upchuck it. That should give the opinion. After all a picture is better than words.

Lagunitas is a great IPA. Also, Zero Gravity is a great IPA. I wouldn't buy Red Hook again.

The purpose of home brewing is to have a flavor and quality not found in commercial brewing. So cutting corners on expense will mostly result in defeating that goal. But bulk buying is common sense economically and does not sacrafice quality.

Chill it down and drink it.

South of Eugene in a town called Glide is a place called Colliding Rivers. The only place in the world two rivers meet head on. In the summer it causes what is known as the Bubble. You can enter the Bubble and breathe fresh air while under water. A strange feeling. Near Ashland is the Oregon...

59 and beginning to show signs of slowing down. I take between 5 min 5 seconds and 5 min. 15 seconds to run a mile. Best time ever was a 4 min 26 seconds while in the Army in combat boots and fatigues.

Most basic kits, whether cider, beer or wine are weak on alcohol content. If you are wanting higher alcohol, add more fermentables.

They closed down the Busch Gardens in California in the late 80's. Too much competition from Disneyland, Knotts and Magic Mountain. I did some of the construction on all 4 parks.
