I was dubiously led to believe this would be an interesting video, and now, so have you... 😆😂🤣

Update on my transition from win10 to linux mint (cinnamon)... It's been very easy to adjust to. My 4 biggest peeves are: Inkscape doesn't work exactly like it did on win10 (I haven't put much effort into figuring out why yet) Haven't found anything as nice/simple as paint-dot-net for raster...

Do you make separate orders for each beer (and just figure the extra $12 shipping cost is part of the cost of your beer)? Or do you order a couple batches worth at a time, to reduce shipping costs, with the trade-off being that the grains will stale much quicker once milled? Or can you store...

I'll second Rish's suggestion: Brewer's Best Peanut Butter Flavor extract, at 4 ounces per 5 gallons beer (a fairly simple 6% abv, 30 ibu, american stout) turned out really nice, I just added it straight to the bottling bucket.

Not really, to be honest. But SOMETHING unique to your use of chestnuts is causing your beer to start refermenting in the bottle. How are you grinding the nuts? Maybe you're leaving chunks that are too big for the subsequent mash/boil to completely denature?

You could try making an extract: maybe roast them on an open fire 🎅 in your oven to be sure there's no enzymes left in the nuts, then grind them up and soak them in vodka for a few weeks, then add the extract at bottling time.

This former cheesehead will NEVER understand what people like about Spotted Cow... Craft-beer prices, for Pabst Old Style flavor. (hoping this doesn't come across as attacking you, @Broothru)

(nothing to contribute, just hoping for updates on how it worked out for your beer)

(From earlier this afternoon) My favorite IPA, Mississippi Fog Hazy from Spiral Brewing in Hastings, MN -- very juicy/tropical!

Just timed it, after my 60 minute boil, i killed the heat, removed the reflectix insulation, dumped in a whole 3 lb bag of Briess Golden Light DME, and replaced the lid, without trying to stir at all. Ate lunch, took a shower, and roughly 60 minutes later, the DME is completely dissolved! So it...

Bottled 2.7 gallons of Yooper's Oatmeal Stout (tastes delicious already), gonna dump a 1.095 beer on top of the yeast cake, soon as I get it boiled and cooled.

Only took me about 10 tries to "prove I'm not a robot" for Steam account recovery...

Looks very much like the grind I get on my Cereal Killer at it's smallest gap setting, thank you! Posted on a win10 laptop, which was booted from a LinuxMint .iso that I rufus'd onto a thumb drive... Wow, if you're thinking you need a new pc to stick with Windows after October 25, check out...

So Rufus for the win(doh's)! Didn't feel like putting the desktop pc back together, so I just ran the Linux Mint "live" boot image on my laptop... and I gotta say it was very nice! Still going to boot the desktop with the Linux Mint usb thingy this weekend, just to see what Windows choked on...

Bah, shoulda just gone with Rufus in the first place... making progress finally.

Can't pull the other platter-based hard disk out of the case due to the way it's mounted, without removing the entire front panel again (not the side), and that is a nightmare I don't care to revisit. So I downloaded Linux Mint "Cinnamon" .iso, but the tool (Etcher) they recommended to use for...

Newcastle Nut Brown ale, gifted from my sales-lady... Haven't had one in at least 18 years, and this bottle (Brewed in either Petaluma CA or Chicago IL) tastes nothing like I remember. No bitterness, no hops, just mildly sweet bilge water. Dumped :confused:

The defunct desktop has a second, spinning hard disk with D: and E: virtual drives/partitions (the D: one being particularly useless). I will pull that out and pop it in the external USB SATA thingy and look for it tomorrow evening. Gotta finish up some crap for work before I sleep, or else I'd...

70+ lbs of various brewing grains/hops/yeast/bottle caps from Ritebrew, to get my through the next year. I'm sure the Speedee driver loved hauling that up my steep driveway!

It was a blue screen, saying that repair failed, with two buttons: one to shut down, and one to repair. The repair fails every time, and the desktop box won't do anything else. I'm gonna take this opportunity to just get a new hard drive, and put Linux on it. I really don't need Windows for...
