Lol, yeah been there too in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Sleeping, then WHHHHHAAA sirens INCOMING INCOMING INCOMING sirens INCOMING INCOMING INCOMING followed by CRAMs brrrrrrrrt ripping off a few hundred rounds, the HEI crackling reports. Then immediate accountability report thanks to top...

Bottled Friday. Upon opening the fermenting bucket, it had that cartoonish nuclear waste neon green look from the Simpsons. The beer has a nice orange color from what I can observe. I cold crashed it for 2 days. The sample I had was quite good, will see in a week or so how it compares. CO2...

@Schlenkerla and anybody else: Id appreciate thoughts on this recipe I created for a rauchbier. I want the smoke and I want that marzen malt as well, very demanding. I have a cabinet smoker, so smoking malt at the casa is on the table. If I bought grain, it would be beech, but I think if I...

I assume you mean WLP820? Planning on a rauchbier but fermented at ambient temps in my basement. Right now the lowest spot is showing 57f. We had a few cold stretches, but this has been a warm winter - without the snow, which usually is abundant during warmer winters. I would certainly...

Thanks for the recipe. I am definitely aiming for the same level of smoke from the Schlenkerla marzen, that intense smoke which oddly gets easier and smoother as you drink more. Ive been reading @Schlenkerla thread on smoking malts and its possible that smoking the malts is the best route to...

Wow, this looks quite good. Its a bit late to mention a brand of tequila, but espolon is really rocking my don julio predilection, amazing sipping tequila at a fair price.

Reviving . . . @MaxStout do you mind posting the recipe? Link is dead. Wondering if you have made subsequent tweaks to this as well.

Looks like he is a bud killer, offering his own body as a pedestal upon which to hold the foul liquid for target practice. He could be a Beer Advocate 6k poster with 2k hipster-autist reviews.

Huh, hope we get some snow out of this one. Dunno what your garage set up is like in terms of insulation factors. I have seen temps get down there when the ambient weather hits the teens for periods of time, maybe 35f. With whatever volume of alcohol you have produced in the beer the...

Well when you agree to give states like the DPRK and Islamic Republic of Iran uranium or enrichment technology and think they are going to comply with agreement terms for monitoring and such, but they hate your guts and want you wiped from the earth . . . now something there just doesnt mesh up...

*** no, it isnt. Lol

A state employee pressed the wrong button. http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/37259684/ballistic-missile-threat-alert-sent-to-hawaii-phones-was-a-mistake

Dude, that was nuts! I have a renter in my house in upper makakilo and I called him after I heard the news. He is USAF at JBPHH, a bit shook but nothing too nuts. No basement in the house so sheltering is a bit sketchy.

Lol I use hot water.

When I crack open a bottle, I put an inch or two of water in the empty bottle, cover the top with my thumb and shake it. Rinse a few times. Quick visual check to see if any sediment. I have a few FastRacks that the bottles dry on. I store them inverted in beer cases with six pack holders...

VW owners freak out if the CEL isnt on. True.

The poor certainly are not getting poorer. Not in the US. Maybe in Venezuela, but everyone is getting poorer there. The rich get rich(er) because they engage in transactions (contracts) that are mutually beneficial. Thats how it works. There is no fixed pie or rich guy taking money out of...

Ahhh, need to get some of that helles, sounds so good

Are you a snowman?

Preheating the mash tun helps lower the strike water temp, though this depends on your specific mash tun. The strike water probably denatures some of the available enzymes in a given grain bill but not to an extent that is significant, at least from my brewing experience. Nor does it seem to...
