    GOOD EATS flower pot electric smoker

    I made one of these and it worked very well for about 12 months. The only problem I had was the grease soaked through the pot and it fell apart. If you make one of these, figure out how to paint the inside so that the drippings run out the hole in the bottom. There was not really enough rooom in...

    Bad News for Apfelwein lovers

    I must confess, I searched for about 15 minutes for the AP press release about the apple shortage before I went back and read the post again.

    Missed final volume - reboil after fermentation?

    Correct me if I am wrong, but if you boil it after fermenting all you will do is drive off the alcohol and get a non-alcoholic beer....

    Is your LHBS taking advantage of the Shortage?

    Have you considered talking to the owner of the LHBS and offering to purchase the other half of a pallet so both of you can benefit from a bulk purchase? You would get a half pallet for yourself and the LHBS store would get the other half of what I assume is a normal order for them. Perhaps the...

    Any Officers in the Military here?

    I became an Officer after being enlisted for 15 years. ( I am in the Air Guard.) I went to a wonderful, 6-week course called The Academy of Military Science. Yup, six weeks and they still salute me and pay me just like all those people that went to USAFA for 4 years ! ! In fact, I probably get...

    81 degrees a 1:30 in the AM and foggy!!

    Not really supposed to say exactly where we are. Host nation is a bit sensitive about this huge US base over here. But... do a Google search with "B-1 fire on runway" and that is where I am located.

    So why not just use some of the excess grain from your 55 pound bags and make some Wort to use for the starter? Cake

    81 degrees a 1:30 in the AM and foggy!!

    I am inside in the AC, but no cold beer because I am deployed to the Middle East. New Mexico is a very dry heat. Only about 8% humidity. Over here it averages about 70 to 85% humidity and spikes up to 100% from time to time. Pretty soon we will hit the upper 120's for temps and if I am...

    81 degrees a 1:30 in the AM and foggy!!

    I now know where Steven King got his inspiration for The Mist. It is 1:30AM, 81 degrees, 97% relative humidity and we cannot see across the sidewalk because of this nasty, sticky, HOT fog. I thought fog occured when it was cool. I guess I was wrong. This just feels so wrong. When I see fog...

    108°F Today...

    Here is a screen capture of the current forcasted weather for my deployed location. This is actually a very cool, almost cold week. Temps have been hitting the low 110's for about 2 weeks now. Nice, hot wind blowing dust in your face. Everything a very pretty shade of grey.... Man...

    GAS GRILL as a POOL HEATER?

    Sounds like a bit of a hassle to me, but I am not Yuri. That guy can make some amazing stuff out of nothing. He is the HBT McGuiver!! I can just imagine Yuri making a steam-infused portable pool heating keg with train whistle and whirlygigs ! ! :rockin: I knew some people that took a small...

    Best Practical Joke

    The best practical joke I have ever been involved with happened when I was a volunteer EMT in New Mexico. I was doing my supervised hours with a paramedic to upgrade my license to IV-tech. This paramedic I was working with got some novacaine jelly somehow. He took a syringe of this stuff and...

    Best brewing kit for the $$$

    Man, I am going sound like a salesperson for Austin Homebrewing, (which I am not) but Forrest is getting ready to have a sale this weekend. You might check out what he will put on sale. Not sure how his starter kits compare to everybody elses, but once he puts stuff on sale you might be able...

    Slow Computer -- Grrrrrrr

    Definately more RAM. You will see a huge increase in performance with 1 or 2 GB. Might also set up regular defragging and see if that helps speed up things a bit.

    The 'Keezer' Project

    That Keezer is very nice. Very very nice. I would say beautiful, but Red deserves that moniker, not the Keezer. A completely fantastic job. That keezer will be a nice addition to any room in the house. Thanks for taking the time to share the pictures with the rest of us. What is the...
