I have eclectic tastes myself, so you might be surprised. I don't buy into the "meat is unhealthy" myth. Sure, some kinds can be, especially if eaten in excess, but I don't believe it is unhealthy as a whole. That being said, I also avoid processed meats, make my own sausages, and use...

I smell a shill.

I pretty much agree. FedEx is the one that dropped the ball here, though Auber could have handled it better.

If we weren't supposed to eat meat, then why is meat so delicious? Not only that, but why do so many vegetarians want their veggies to look and taste like meat? "Yea, I'll have the veggie burger with soy bacon. And could you serve that to me while dressed as a cow? "

On a related note.... I've always wondered what was up with all the craft beers with dirty/disgusting sounding names. Moose Drool Buffalo Sweat Etc.

I wouldn't risk it. Go with this instead: http://www.digikey.com/catalog/en/partgroup/stranded-hook-up-wire-teflon-insulation/1944 or this: http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=320

That is what I thought. I wasn't sure if it also had something to do with the late additions as well

Added this to my list of upcoming brews. One question: if I plan on kegging, is the pasteurization needed or is this JUST to kill the yeast? I was thinking just use the campden tablets and then force carb.

I'm not an expert in anything brewing related. Still very much a newbie here. I'm still playing around with different styles to figure out what I like. I need to find a good place to sample many different styles. I haven't made an undrinkable brew yet.... though only 3 are ready to drink.

I convert all of my brews into urine....

Whoops, double post.

The receiver wasn't the one who left the package in an insecure area. It is pretty asinine to claim that this is somehow his fault. It sounds to me like FedEx is paying the seller back for a lost package yet the Seller is trying to incur additional profit by charging the buyer again. When...

Just a couple of comments: The last time I had something shipped by FedEx, there was a link on the "tracking" page to request in-store pickup. If I was having a high-dollar item shipped to me, I would use this option. I don;t have thieving neighbors though. I know most of them by face if not...

Including watering down their beer if they feel so inclined. Lol

Awesome. That makes this one a little easier to plan. I was thinking I would have to time it so I had an empty fermentor in 2 weeks.

OK, so a secondary isn't needed if you are dry hopping? This one is going on my list of "on deck" brews.

This is why I keep track of my brews using lecturenote on my note 10.1. It had a handy "insert timestamp" function that I use quite a bit. I keep track of anything I do that may affect the beer, including adding water to a mash to adjust temperature, additions, etc.

So you just unscrewed them when no one was looking? :p

It could also just be pure bad luck on my part. Or maybe since they were recycled bottles they were weaker. I don't know.

It is easy enough to use, but it also does not take much to break a bottle if you push down the handles onto a stationary bottle. Just a little side load or a little too much pressure on one handle and it will break the bottle. It will work this way, but I broke a few bottles doing this...
