Grats! If you need a quick turnaround might look up EdWort's Haus Pale Ale. I'm taking a slightly different approach for our boy due in May. We chose an Irish name and I'll be brewing an Irish Red Ale probably to be named Connerific. I'd let him try it, but pretty sure SWMBO would slap me...

Welcome from Concord, NC. Lotta good micro brew tap rooms in Charlotte. Noda, Four Friends, Birdsong, and couple others the slip my mind.

Probably not much help but I have an authentic Greek place down the street that makes an amazing Gyro. No idea how they spice it, but nice big chunks of lamb. Love those dang things, it's all I eat there.

Oh, for fonts there are tons you can download. And YouTube has some nice Gimp Font effects tutorials. I made this in gimp in a couple hrs, including the Smiley Face from scratch, all using YouTube vids to learn.

There is a simple scale tool in Gimp that's easy to use. You can google or YouTube search stuff and find lots of Gimp how-to's. When it is time to print, I save as a .jpg file, convert at 100%, and then drop the jpg into a word doc with the page in landscape. You can copy/paste and resize...

After 3 weeks in primary and 5 in bottles I'm resigned to the realization that my first baby is ugly. Its pretty harsh with bitterness and alcohol aftertaste. However, I left beer 2 in primary for 27 days, and after a week in the bottle I chilled and opened one... It is flippin awesome. I...

Waiting is for the weak! I'm on my 3rd batch, about to do forth, but just getting to where the 1st is mellowing out. TBH, my first is kinda harsh, but I'm redeemed 'cause the 2nd is really good and was brewed before the other one was bottled. I just keep giving my 1st crappy ones to friends...

I don't know keltec well, but I do have a CCW and carry occasionally. I caught this quote on the P11 wiki, "The P-11 lacks an external manual safety relying instead on a long and heavy double action only (DAO) trigger pull, which requires nine pounds of pressure, to prevent accidental...

Rofl. Nice. Least we just returned the favor.

That was a fumble. But I'm a Packer fan so I don't care. Plus we scored so double bonus.

I brewed a 5.5 gal batch last weekend. Bumped extracts a bit looking for little higher OG and little lower IBU, but I overshot OG and hit .068, final was .016, so guess I'm not really hitting the mark, but the sample was pretty nice at just 5 days. Image is from the sample at day five. 4 lbs...

Oy. Somebody teach Gronk how to apply eye black. He looks like a tard wearing it on his cheeks.

Nice. Haven't seen her, but I love a good motorboat. Brbrbrbrbrrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbbrb Lol Miss Wisco wins! Must be a sign. GO PACK GO!

Dear God my wife just realized the Miss America Pageant is on. Excuse me while I give up on this and raid the home brew stash to ease the pain of the rest of my evening.

Pats gonna score again. And... "Somewhere in Hell Satan is Tebowing..." Sorry but that crap is funny as heck to me, and Tebow is painfully over-covered.

I'm not much of a trash talker, but Lord was I happy to see the Niners win. Saints fans have been unbearable on forums, thrashing the NFC contenders and trashing Rogers all over the place. GL with the MVP voting if yer a Saints fan; it's all you have left. Grats Niners fan for a great win...

I have a bunch of 500ml amber PET bottles. They work fine. I use a microfiber towel for grip and bear down. Towel also keeps the hand from getting chewed up. You can kinda feel when they stop turning. I get them tight enough that way that I need to use a shirt tail to get them open. Reuse...

Second guessing this recipe post-purchase. I can batch Sparge about 6lbs of grain comfortably with the stove and oven. Able to hold a constant 154 for 60 min. I'm getting varying OG and IBU numbers from Brewmasters Warehouse and brewPal. What I'd like is a combo of roast and oats flavor...

Might try EdWort's Haus Pale Ale from the recipes threads. Lots of positive comments to read though. I have this in primary now, seems like it might fit the bill. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/bee-cave-brewery-haus-pale-ale-31793/

Saved. Overshot OG with a 1.068. After 5 days reached FG of 1.016, abv is 7.1% but looks good and the sample tasted pretty good despite the blunder. Thank you Almighty Beer Gods. Here she is:
