I understand the sleep when you can thing. Working third shift my sleep schedule varies depending on what I want/need to get done during the day. A 15 minute nap can sometimes make all the difference. Back when I was farming I used to fall asleep standing up when I was milking. That's when you...

BTO had some commercial successes but I still think Blue Collar was their best effort. I'm just headed off to work, I'll leave you with this tonight. Deacon Blues

Here's one for all us night owls on HBT. Crappy video but can't fault the music

Google "welding spud". Probably what you are looking for.

There are a lot of beers I find "lacking", even among craft brewers. I'm not going to not buy a beer because of who does or doesn't own the brewery. Besides, I have to buy something to boil the brats in.

Sub the Special B for the pilsner or the cara-munich?

One thing no one has mentioned is that a vacuum will also degas your beer. So you end up having to use more CO² or priming sugar to carbonate it.

ebonics White people that speak ebonics spanglish White people that speak spanglish The fact that ebonics and spanglish have to be capitalized or your spell checker says they are spelled wrong, granting them legitimacy.

I never really liked IPA's but my daughter does so I brewed a batch of this for her. Or I should say I have never found an IPA I liked until I brewed this one. This is a great recipe. I have brewed it a few times and am always sorry to see the last one go. I have used both pilsner and pale...

Post your questions in the Electric Brewing forum. There are lots of helpful people there. I am in the planning stages for going electric and have learned a lot reading about what others have done.

Well isn't that special....;) But I'm actually from Strum, those Eleva folks are different...........

No self respecting Wisconsinite uses old fashion mix, you make them from scratch. 'Cept for those folks up around Fall Crick, bless their hearts.

I think it's the beer gnomes. They can't get to it when it is in the keezer.

I guess I got a "fired on" pint glass as a Christmas present. My daughter used glass paint to paint designs on glasses, they heated them in the oven to make the paint permanent. So I have a custom pint glass that says "Dad's Homebrew" on it.

Not a problem, we usually cut you Yoopers some slack. Unlike those FIB's or Mudducks.

I have been thinking about doing some cheese making too. I was a dairy farmer in a previous life so I am well schooled on the first part of the process. I read somewhere that it works pretty good to use dried milk and just add in heavy cream to get the butterfat content where you want it to be...

F'n Yoopers, can't even spell Lambeau right.........

Family issues this year, so no big celebrations just a quiet Christmas at home. I too get tired of the commercial trappings of the holidays, usually by Thanksgiving. But when you step back and think about what we all have compared to much of the rest of the world and what the true meaning of...

- Clean out and organize the basement - Decide on the design of a new electric brewery and get it built (in the basement) so I can brew indoors in the winter - Get my fermentation chamber finished - Get the grain mill built - Try and brew something SWMBO likes

I have one. I don't think I paid that much for it but even at that price it will last forever. It does a good job degassing wine and I also use it for oxygenating wort. For carboys it is about the only thing you can get through the neck. Being as you ferment in buckets maybe you could go to a...
