That's like five rambunctious packs of dogs.

After reading your post I asked the cat about the features and benefits of accessing the more esoteric dimensions they use so seamlessly. He recommended I avoid adding to the already rich body of confusion keeping humans in a frenetic state sixteen or more grueling hours a day. He said if you...

Today with a momentary hint of spring in the air my heart turned, of course, to refrigeration. I hooked a few items together and fired it up in a test situation. Early indicators are it will work well. I designed a unit to hold four corny kegs with the busy bits and pieces concealed...

Thanks Dynachrome. I see we live in similar climates where many of the desired brewing temperatures are available but the timing is unmanageable. (Your signature reminded me of the story of the disappearance of Descartes. When a sommelier asked if he would like wine, he replied "I think...

OK, I was just sitting here thinking of winters in Florida. So here's the deal - you take all the snow you want, every scrap if you want but you will have to move it yourself. If fact if there isn't enough I will negotiate with the neighbors to pitch in as well. Dragging it into the...

How much wort and how long does it take? I left the lid on when I tried it as there are so many birds around that may be willing to contribute.

Last Sunday was -18C with a stiff wind so I put the stainless steel pot outside with 20 liters of wort rather than using the chiller. Even with occasional stirring it took hours to cool. I was really surprise, I'm thinking of using a similar system to heat the house.:drunk: On the up side...

Beautiful job. Great talent.

Signing up!

How did you mill the grain? Do you use a flour mill? I use a Champion set very close to the course setting. By changing it towards fine the efficiency goes up along with the astringency so I shoot for about 80%.

I use Beer Grains and find them well-stocked and very good. Orders over $100 include shipping. Ontario Beer Kegs are good as well.

That's quite an accomplishment Cider, particularly inspiring as it is in Maine (with similar winter conditions). We use a Kettle Pizza. It does great pizza and naan but that oven of yours could cook for a whole neighborhood on one firing. Very nice.

Bernd's always makes good looking bread. The site is a great motivator. If you make the bread be aware the salt in the ingredients doesn't get added in the preparation. I added it after the autolyse. I need to modify the recipe as my rye sourdough is sluggish.

Yesterday I made a brew plate special with a liter of Brown Derby in the main dish, half a liter hefeweizen in the bread and a little stout for the cook. Rosie Sykes's sausages, ale, apple and sauerkraut recipe Bread It was good but next time I will not use the juniper berries or...

When offering a beer I usually start by serving a unopened big label product to others and a home brew for me. If anyone asks to try the home brew I tell them they won't like it, it's brewed for my tastes and doesn't emulate any of the big brands. If they still want to try it I serve it and tell...

Has anyone used the "How can we improve" link on top of the Master-Carr page? If the 'Other' link on the USA|Other line went to a log in page rather than taking the foreign address details it would be a good clue things aren't going well. On first visit to a site I usually add an item to the...

If the pressure cooker doesn't improve the flavour it would just be an inconvenience in this case. The gas stove needs to be watched, although for a shorter time, while a slow cooker doesn't need anything but power.

I'm just putting a ham, spices and hefeweizen in a slow cooker and wonder if anyone has used a pressure cooker for a similar combination. I've never used a pressure cooker and wonder if it imparts more flavor to the ham or if it just reduces the time required.

I ordered a cooler with fans and the controller last night so they will arrive in the next week or two (border delays). We woke to -14C this morning so the pantry is a balmy 6C. It will be hard to make it the priority for awhile as the wood glue wouldn't even cooperate. It looks...
