    steeping grains

    I looked around for info on this for a long time and couldn't find any clear info. One group of people say there is no problem with doing what you are doing, that it creates no problems whatsoever, and keeps things simpler. One group says that you need to steep in 1.5-2 qts per pound of...

    Squeezing the Grain Bag

    Use silicon tongs! I keep some around and dunk them in starsan. They come in handy

    Guate Brewing

    I use an enamel pot. They'll rust if the enamel chips so just inspect them before each brew. I wouldn't want rust in my brew! At <20 bucks it's a cheap replacement.

    Carboy Question

    Use a liquid measuring cup and have Google convert .3 (or whatever the recipe calls for) to cups. Odds are, however, that they're giving you that measurement for partial boil top-off water. This is the amount of water you add to your fermenter to hit 5 gallons if your pot can't hold 7 or so...

    Squeezing the Grain Bag

    Bag squeezer here. I steep my grains in only 1.5-2 qts per gallon of water in a second pot while my main brew kettle comes up to temperature. Once I'm done steeping, I'll dip the bag in the brew kettle a couple of times (tea bagging if you will) and then squeeze away before topping the kettle...

    All-Grain to Extract Conversion help (Goose Island Green Line Clone)

    You might get a little more aroma, but the release of CO2 during fermentation us going to scrub a lot of it out. You really want to dry hop for the aroma. You're right about hop utilization though, we should probably be using a little more bittering hops for these partial boils. If you're...

    Funny things you've overheard about beer

    Beer?! I thought you wanted a Bud Light! Wait. That might be backwards.

    Funny things you've overheard about beer

    People have also been purchasing "limited edition" metal Starbucks gift cards with $50 on them for over $1000 on ebay (wish I was making this up). Value is quite high even though he cost to make is very low.

    Walking Dead Comics.

    Woo here we go. Also is that an official website? I'm really against posting links to pirated stuff; even more so for something like a comic (doubly so for Image published comics). Rant over... Anyone care to discuss how Rick's character in the TV show will be different to Rick in comics...

    SPOILERS AFTER QUOTE SPOILERS: Yes, and yes.

    The Walking dead

    It's not a typical zombie game. It's more of a puzzle game or old school adventure game where you walk around and interact with people and make choices. The quick action that happens is usually done in the format of the quick time events vs FPS or action game styles. If you've ever played the...

    The Walking dead

    I've played the first episode and a half. I love it, and would really like to replay with different choices. It is supposed to take place during the time between the outbreak and Rick waking up so there should be very little cross over. As far as games go, it's been universally lauded as a...

    Ah thanks. Memory is foggy.

    The Walking dead

    I think TDog was the token black guy, as there aren't any black characters through the early comics before Michonne. Even the name TDog seemed ridiculous.

    The Walking dead

    The font changes color (and bolds and italics etc) if I look at the website on my phone, but if I use the app nothing ever changes. Could be that I have the android version though...

    You jerk! I use the mobile app and the font didn't change! I didn't want to know that.

    The Walking dead

    Crazy thing about that show: Michael C. Hall (Dex) and Jennifer Carpenter (Deb) were married in real life until he cheated on her with Julia Stiles (Lumen from Season 5) while they were working together that season. Makes the relationship between the two characters in subsequent seasons feel...
