I ended up trying a few from shiner, zeigenboch amber, race's ugly pug, and saint Arnolds Elisa IPA. Really solid IPA, right up my alley. Thanks for all the input!

I live in a row style townhouse, and would like to get into smoking meat. Is there any way to do this without pissing off my neighbour's?

+1 I was about to say just this! Thanks for this thread! I had already worked through this topic for myself, but there is a lot of food for thought here!

Haha, I will try not to judge based on Killeen. It's pretty shady here. Although I drove through Western Texas from Phoenix to get here and it was pretty boring. Didn't really give me a good first impression ;). I went to specs earlier tonight. Realized there was a ton I didn't recognize and...

I'm here in Killeen for a few days visiting family. There's a ton of beer I've never tried from down south and can't get from where I'm from. What to try? I've tried shiner now. But don't know what else is worth buying. Please advise!

The project manager on a job site I'm working on heard I brewed beer. He proceeded to tell me how when he was tree planting, the natives showed him how to mix sugar and water in a 5 gallon bucket, add bread yeast, and put it in the sun for a week. Then you can scoop it right out of the bucket...

Nice looking manifold! I did something similar and I used a jig saw with a metal blade. I pre measured on a long stick of copper where each piece would be cut, then clamped both ends onto a scrap piece of plywood set on some saw horses. I then could blow through all the slits in about 20 min...

Its the alcohol, and your dehydrated. If you make sure to drink more water than beer when you cut loose, you'll have less of a hangover and you won't hurt as bad.

As an electrician as well, I use math all the time. dfc, as an audio engineer, you don't use much math?

I keg, and rarely bottle, when I do I use a homebuilt bottling device courtesy of HBT. I'm thinking about entering some competitions, but because I care all my beers at the same level, and don't get perfect carbing when I bottle, im worried that even if I send a good beer, bad carbonation...

It would hurt, both going in and coming out. But dumping a gold brick after buying a $2 beer is a pretty good ROI in my mind...

Ok, so as long as I store them in their wrappers I'm good. I have really coarse hair and don't get more than a few shaves with a blade. Maybe this will change with the feathers.

Will the blades degrade on their own over time?

I've got a sample pack with some feathers. I've heard multiple people say the feathers are the best, so I'm waiting to use them until after I get the technique down better and I can appreciate the difference in blades.

My wife got me a merkur for Christmas, and I love it! Using it is quite a learning curve, but I'm having a lot of fun. Still get razor burn a little, but I think I'm still pressing too hard and my lather needs some work. Already much better than my little electric shaver though.

I was scanning through the threads quick and saw a thread about fart foam. I was intrigued. I'm now here and realize two things. One, there is no discussion of fart foam. Two, I should read slower when I'm tired.

Fair enough, I didnt think about all the fancy additions. I don't generally play around with anything but the basics, so spending $50 on cherries didn't cross my mind ;). I usually bulk purchase base malts, then buy some specialty stuff by the lb. I buy hops in bulk online, and yeast from the...

I'm noticing a lot of people saying how they have spent $70-$90 on ingredients for a HG all grain batch. I live on the prairies, so maybe I'm lucky, and can buy 50lb bags of 2-row for $22, and even if I'm buying specialty malts by the lb from my LBHS, I'm not paying more than a $2.50ish a lb...

How long did you age it before? It will be carbonated in about three days of that's what your asking, but if you didn't age it before, the beer might be a little green...

I've never sanitizer them and haven't had an issue. I sanitize the bag I put them in, but thats it. I understand that the hops are pretty much sanitary already due to the acids in them. They are a preservative in the beer after all. But that could all be my brain that hasn't turned on yet today.
