We used to do this to each other with the ambulances. There was a battery kill switch to keep the electronics from draining the battery - hit that, turn on EVERY. SINGLE. electronic device in the cabin, lights, and siren set to hyper-yelp. One of my going away gifts was setting up every...

Welcome! A trip to Wisconsin - and trying EVERY local beer that was available at the Anchor Bar in Superior is what got me into homebrewing! :mug:

I came here to post the EXACT same advice, complete with the Mr. Wizard reference and everything! :mug:

Switched to a straight razor and a strop a couple months ago. I used to get really bad razor burn towards the end of the week with a mach3, and that's completely gone. Except for the one time I took it easy on the stropping for a day - had a couple good bleeders after that, but once I started...

This is awesome! I'm in

Awesome name for your homebrew btw..

Threads like these are why I love HBT. I laughed, hard - and got looked at funny by my coworkers...

Agree with the leave it or barkeeper's friend. We use it on all our stainless and it makes it shine up real nice, but who do you have criticizing the inside of your brew pot?? PS - Don't ever use barkeeper's friend on aluminum.. learned that the hard way..

Thanks SilverZero - I'll probably get the 10 gallon round now.. conpewter, would brass cause problems? With a stainless hose clamp, aren't you clamping over top of brass anyway? I wouldn't want to use this if it's going to cause problems..

Hi all, I've been lurking here for awhile now.. learning a lot from all of you who are WAY more experienced than I am. I'm about a month into this excellent hobby, with an imperial nut brown in the secondary, and a witbier than just went into bottles yesterday (both extract) I decided to...
