    Holy crap, SNAKES!

    The little pinkish ones should fetch $350+ the grey ones $125-150 each. So assuming they mostly all survive it should be a nice recoup of the expenses in raising the parents for 7 years (and counting).

    Holy crap, SNAKES!

    So I get the male into my holding cage, while the red foot tortoise looks oh angrily, no doubt screaming in his grumpy turtle mind "YOU KIDS GET OFFEN MY LAWN": And I bravely get mother out and eventually into his cage: Grab a 5 gallon bucket, throw some clean white towels in it, and begin...

    Holy crap, SNAKES!

    So back in like 2002 or 2003 I bought a couple snakes. An albino female and a het for albino (means he carries the gene but doesn't display it and looks normal) male boa for the cool sum of $1000 delivered from a breeder in Chicago. They ate and grew: Sometime last year, late...

    Easy Stovetop All-Grain Brewing (with pics)

    I jumped right in with an Imperial Stout, had lower than expected SG but the brew turned out fantastic, honestly probably the best beer I've ever had. And I drank them young too haha (I always seem to drink my brews young)

    Brewery names--what's your story?

    I immediately figured "never be more than 40 paces away from a toilet".

    List of Outrages

    Considering the date (April 15 is 6 days away), how about accountants that bill you $xxxx when telling you that you owe $xxxxx (notice how many x's we're talking about) and then claiming they did you "up right". If you did me up right why is what I owe Uncle Sam after claiming 0 dependants...

    List of Outrages

    seriously, NUKE the Dutch, Dutch subtitles PISS ME OFF. Not nearly as much as some of my friends but a LOT. Screw you buddy, I'm not fat, I'm big boned! No actually I am fat. Wait you're watching South Park aren't you? I love South Park, you're forgiven.

    What are you drinking now?

    I'm about to finish THIS glass: This is my first homebrew with what I can call "lacing" of the glass, I'm not a big hop lover but this brew really seems to have hit the mark. At least I think so?

    What are you drinking now?

    Yeah just finishing up the coffee my wife made me as I left out the door :( Got a nice Northern Brewer black ipa waiting at home and my raspberry experiment stout is just starting to get conditioned and ready to drink too so the day will end on a brighter note at least.

    Soldering Stainless steel

    I just did mine outside on the porch with my back to the wind. Hopefully that was ok :)

    The stupidest comment on your beer

    I've already started collecting a few of these, now that I can give out freebies to friends/etc. So far the BMC drinkers seem to use "it's too heavy" or "too rich" or "too strong" (strongest brew I've given out so far is 6.8%). I've already started putting people on my "no homebrew list" for...

    What would you do?

    I draw the line at my wallet, if I'm saving "a little bit" ordering online I'll try and stay local, if I'm saving a lot then so be it I order online. If I have a "local" store meaning in my town or one the next town over, I factor my time at $12 an hour (not what I earn but for "hobbies" I bill...

    How many gallons of EdWort's Apfelwein have been made?

    16116 + 5 = 16121 I put up 5 gallons this weekend. I put in half a gallon of white grape juice and a half gallon of cranberry and pomegranate juice to give it some other flavors, so I guess technically it's 4 gallons of apple wine and 1 gallon "other". Added some sugar (didn't measure it)...

    Man, I love Apfelwein

    I put up 5 gallons on Sunday and while my airlock never bubbled while I watched it, it bubbled over yesterday while I was at work! I read how wine usually doesn't create much krausen so I filled my 5 gallon carboy up pretty full. Yeah nice sticky mess on the floor to clean up. Still no...

    Quick Question: Dry Hopping method?

    This was the black IPA extract kit with specialty grains from Northernbrewer: http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/black-ipa-extract-kit-1.html So looks like the concensus is just throw them into the secondary and rack on top of it or use some sort of hops sack or ball.

    Quick Question: Dry Hopping method?

    So I have a black ipa that's ready for the dry hopping portion, do I just pitch the hops in there? Do I boil them a few minutes for sanitation purposes then toss them in? I'm going to transfer to a secondary fermenter and add the hops and bottle Friday or Saturday.

    Man, I love Apfelwein

    Relax, people have fermented perfectly fine alcohols for centuries without airtight seals, your apfelwein will most likely be perfectly fine. Let it do its thing and if you can put an airlock on it soon, but I wouldn't sweat it.

    Does anyone have a Google Voice invite they can send me?

    ONE left, first come first served! Edit: All gone, enjoy :) As soon as they get fax as part of the service, I'm changing my home phone to an unlisted number and using my google voice number exclusively for all communications.
