When my wife goes shopping, she buys Sht. Me, I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it, I want to taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now? It ain't the Folgers in my cup, it's the Watered Down BMC on the TV.

Nice!

Actually, I forgot tonight is "Mug Club Monday" at the local brewery. I might be working on the burner down there tonight!

Is this bus full yet?

I complained to my wife about this. To me it seems as though they are marketing the beer by showing how wonderful they are for the community. At first this seems great, but it says NOTHING about the product, and of course they are much more capable of helping due to the simple fact that their...

Nothing got done this weekend. Kid was not ready to put the burner together on Friday night, and we spent the weekend in Battle Creek helping my BIL move into their new house. I didn't even get to go to the new brewery just down the road from him! The Kids drove separately and the drive back...

Distilling to 17% would be challenging. The process naturally will create a much more potent spirit. Freeze distilling would be a better way to go, but at 17% I'd call it an "Ice Beer", rather than a Vodka. I don't remember what the minimum alcohol needs to be before it's considered a spirit...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077SCM3PG/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 This is a book by an HBT member. I've actually found it to be pretty entertaining! There are a few spelling/editing issues, but nothing major. The author is a friend of mine and a homebrewer near me. It's a romance...

Store was closed by the time I got out of work yesterday, so I didn't get to building the burner. I have a question, though. I have seen a "Sideburner" burner using a "T" at the top. The T is positioned so the burner threads into one end, the gas tube comes in from the other end, and the T...

OH MAN!

Last night I pounded some chicken breast and dredged in flour, then egg wash (eggs and a bit of cream) and then breadcrumbs. Fried them in a pan with some oil, then broiled for a few minutes in the oven with mozzarella cheese before topping with spaghetti sauce and parmesan cheese. Served that...

I am starting to collect stuff. I stopped by the local metal salvage yard yesterday and dropped off a bottle of Coffee Stout I had in my car. One of the dudes there is a homebrewer (Used to be before the separation, he says...) I found a nice pressure tank for $10 I can use. It's maybe about...

Just an FYI, I have not forgotten. I have beer, just need to get it packed up for safe shipment.

Thankfully I am planning on a Propane Gas Forge, so it should be "pretty safe" in my garage. I will have to do some preparation to make it safe, but it's doable. Just realized I probably need to buy a smock.

Won't be anything for a little while. Need to source some parts and do some mire reading. Hopefully I get a setup before it gets too nice out and I am working on my car. I did a little fly tying, but after my FIL passed away I just don't fish. We never caught anything anyway, lol! I was...

I've been interested in knifemaking since I was a kid. The idea of hammering hot steel into a functional (dangerous) weapon seemed cool and a bit taboo. Lately I've found a show called Forged in Fire on History Channel. It's a relatively drama-free reality game where 4 contestants compete...

I have been meaning to watch Metropolis for a while. Tried to read the nook, but just couldn't do it.

I just popped in to say Kudos on the thread title. I'm not ashamed to say I instantly recognized the lyrics from the many many times I listened to the ROTJ soundtrack. Ewok Celebration/Finale was of my favorites on that soundtrack. And then Lucas goes and replaces it with some other lame song...

You're making me want to make a few more cheeses. I've taken a big break. It's several hours of time and I have had mixed results. Maybe a plain farmhouse cheddar to get my legs back under me.

So maybe somewhere along the way someone messed up at the malt company and they put the wrong malt in the wrong bag and THAT'S why your beer came out so good! You need to try that same recipe with all of the different malt combinations until you hit Ambrosia again.
