I butchered a pork shoulder in order to slice the 'Money Muscle' into pork steaks - that left me with a bunch of left over pork pieces that I sliced into pork fingers (country style ribs). I seasoned them and put them on my pellet smoker to grab some smoke: Then I took them off and put them...

2513 + 5 Helles = 2518 gallons

My pizza is what I guess you call 'garbage pizza' as it doesn't follow any rules at all - but everyone loves it. I guess it's fake though... 😋 Mine is: Homemade dough with a three-day cold rise in the refrigerator Homemade pizza sauce made with tomato sauce from my garden tomatoes Then topped...

2473+5=2478 German Schwarzbier

Pan seared scallops on a bed of pasta with a garlic, lemon, ancho powder sauce. And a Helles homebrew.

That's very similar to my 5.4 gallon Munich Helles BIAB beer recipe. Here's mine: 9 lb German Pilsner 2row 1 lb Vienna 4 oz Victory I use lactic acid to run the pH down to 5.3 and mash at 152°F for 90 minutes 1.5 oz Hallertau 60 minutes .5 oz Hallertau 20 minutes OG 1.050 34/70 fermented at 52°F...

I went with the stainless Intertap as it seemed like a reasonable price with good reviews - of course the Perlick is the 'gold standard'. :)

There are two different tap design types rear seal and forward seal. Here is an explanation from the Perlick website (although I didn't purchase the Perlick taps).

I've been using one for several years now. It pumps hot wort just fine. The only issue is that it is not self-priming and you will need to find whichever way works best to get whatever you are pumping primed into it before it will pump.

I bought my Edgestar twin tap kegerator 14 years ago. For the past 14 years I have been cursing those darn cheap rear seal taps that always get stuck! :mad: Today in the mail I finally got some front seal taps to eliminate that problem. :) I also went into my garage and turned a couple of wood...

I drop mine about 5 seconds into second crack. I have gone as far as 30 seconds in, but that starts tasting like Starbucks, which I don't particularly like...

All grain, full volume boil, final batch size 5.4 gallons. I have a kegerator that holds two 5-gallon kegs, and two more 5-gallon kegs that I keep full and chilled for when the time comes to swap out an empty keg in the kegerator.

My thoughts for our bravest Lost today! Burger and homebrewed Schwarzbeir:

I keep an eye on my Tilt and ramp up when I'm a few points away from finish. A typical fermentation/temp plot from my Tilt looks something like this:

Here's another astro photo I just finished. This is the galaxy M101 (Pinwheel Galaxy). It is located in the constellation Ursa Major about 21 million light years from Earth. At 170000 light years in diameter, the Pinwheel Galaxy is almost twice the size of our Milky Way galaxy. It took me 14...

Actually, there is a ton of Ha in most nebula images, it's the most prevalent gas. That false color image is mapped as what is called the 'Hubble Palette' as that is how most Hubble pics are color mapped, also called SHO mapping. The S2 emission is mapped to the Red channel, the Ha is mapped to...

Actually, it means that I did not process the image in false color mapping such as the 'Hubble Pallette', but I did process the image as true color RGB (Red/Green/Blue) with a little Ha (Hydrogen Alpha) to boost the detail in the luminance channel. My astro camera is a mono (black and white)...

I got my telescope out again... My previous furthest image was ~9000 light years away. This time, I reached WAY out to 25 million light years away... And this isn't one of my typical nebula images it's a galaxy image. This is M51 also known as the Whirlpool Galaxy. This was very hard to image...

It has been a while - how about IC1396, The Elephants Trunk - it is about 2400 light years from Earth. This is a total of 18 hours of 3-minute exposures through 3 different narrow band filters, then combined into the single image.

Your ladder should work, my Werner 8' ladder worked until I got a hoist installed in the ceiling.
