I haven't played in a long time, but I have been thinking about playign more this summer. But first I'm gonna get a set of better clubs. Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs just so my irons aren't always flying off the back swing

I've actually thought about that after the last 2 times I've made Parmesan Chicken. Only problem is there is usually not enough room in the pan as it is. If you keep the temperature low while the chicken is cooking in the finished sauce, it's not a problem. But there are times when I do want...

I've got a 351Windsor for my Mustang. It's just about warm enough to pull the motor out where I can get at it and start the build process. It's still a bit cool for body work. I'm planning for the motor to be pretty much stock for now. Stock manifolds, cam, etc. New carb. Maybe when the...

Good riddance to the completed pass rule.

Agree. This year's KBS seems even less sweet than normal to me. Granted, I've only had it on tap twice in from a bottle once. I have 3 bottles of CBS from this year and haven't cracked any of them open yet. One is supposed to be shared with my HB club, but I forgot to bring it to the meeting...

Well, since you asked, I don't normally choose a light (pale) lager, but I have one sometimes. Generally it's Budweiser, Heineken, Labatt's, Red Stripe (although I don't care much for that, but if a friend is offering...) Sometimes PBR. I do like Miller and Stroh's, and the Michelob retro beer...

You put a Chevy 350 in a Cougar? Sacrilege! (Although the Chvey 350 IS a great motor!)

I can't wait. My whole family watches and my oldest is even helping me build this, and she is not generally interested in my hobbies. Luckily there is a guy at work who has been doing this for a year or so, and got into it pretty heavy. He's a great resource for ideas. I'd like get a decent...

Ordered some Kaowool insulating wool today. Found some 2" that should be plenty to line the inside of the forge. Also pricing some refractory cement to line it with. Once the wool is in place, I'll paint the cement over it to hold the fibers in place, and to give the IR coating something firm...

I bought a 6-pack of cans. It's a premium lager. Really no different than pretty much any other premium lager, TBH. I have not price-compared, but I would have a hard time believing it's less expensive than the Big Boys' beers. For me, that style isn't a usual pick. I prefer many other...

So this weekend Fuggles jumps right up on my desk while I am trying to play Warcraft with my buddies. Strangest thing. She's not really lovable in general, and I can't remember the last time either of the cats were on my desk (That I was aware of, anyway). I gave her a quick pet, deciding...

Is that a DiMarzio pickup??

I got it. That's why it continued on it's journey. Good idea.

Not my thing. Sorry. I don't eat that gooey crap!

Been listening to Ninja Sex Party lately. I'm not sure I can recommended it. They are similar to The Lonely Island, but maybe not as clever. They have a whole back story thing going. I do like their cover albums a bit. They do some fine recreations of some classic tunes. It's an homage to...

Welcome! I second the 5 gallon paint strainer recommendation! It's a very cheap way to get your feet wet with AG brewing. I am sure you will be amazed at how easy it really is, and BIAB really is an bonerfide method of brewing. The only real difference between that and a 3-vessel system is...

Welcome! There's lots to learn and do in this hobby for sure! Ask away, we have plenty of helpful people who are willing to answer and some of them can even do it without snarky comments!

Even mashing at 155F should still get you down to 1.020 or so IMO. Especially on a mid-strength beer. Off the top of my head I think even English Ale yeast should not have way high residual sugars. I'd warm it up again and see what happens. IMO you would ideally want to keep your temps at...

Where would be best to install a thermometer? I want to monitor temps, of course. I think I remember seeing them at the top of the column. Actually, if I use a rubber grommet and slip a thermometer in there, it could act as a relief valve too. It would be only snug enough to seal the vapor...

Good info! There aren't any 90s. There is a 45 in the 1/2" as it comes down from the tri-clover. Also, I intend to both strain my wash AND install a pressure relief valve of some kind, likely off the column somewhere. Trust me, I'm highly aware of the possibility of overpressuring this thing!
