Yeah, I imagine she got no end of grief from her coworkers for that one. Lol - that Rage misunderstanding is even better than mine - I'm going to remember that! Makes you wonder how common it is for their lyrics to be misunderstood... ;)

I think it's "Soy un perdedor" which translated means "I'm a loser." (I didn't know this one either until a girlfriend cleared it up for me...)

My favorite was when a girlfriend's room-mate mis-heard Rage Against The Machine's "Bulls On Parade." She thought the chorus was "We're really rather friendly. With a pocket full of shells." (should have been "They rally round the family! With a pocket full of shells!") More recently, I...

On a side-note: while some of the exact details weren't completely faithful to the first book, it's worth mentioning one thing I thought they got absolutely right: the part of Sam. I always loved Sam as the unsung hero, and I think Jackson did a good job with that aspect. The scene where Frodo...

You're right - I didn't mean to come across quite so strongly that the first movie didn't have any flaws. The first movie did stray from the book, but (in my opinion) it was in ways that primarily made it easier to tell the story in a movie format. So I agree that Gimli was made into a comic...

I'm glad to see this bugs other people. The first LOTR movie was amazing. It didn't stray from the book, and was true to the characters. It made some minor changes that were necessary for the movie format, but that was about it. But then it was like Peter Jackson said "I've proven that I...

Short answer: yes - the buzzer can be triggered by any of the PIDs or timer, and can go off when either the time limit expires, or when a temperature is hit (or both). I tend to think of an "alarm" as a timer and buzzer combo, which (to me) confuses how the whole panel is wired. It helps...

I had the same question before I built my control panel. I initially designed it without the timer, since Kal's suggested timer was prohibitively expensive for what amounts to a kitchen timer. But when I posted my design for review, I was pointed to the Auber ASL-51. It's slightly more...

(Bump) Any thoughts on the keg fermentor conversion options listed above?

I'm considering branching out in my brewing adventures by making lambics and meads. Both of these have long fermentation cycles, which means I'll be more inclined to do larger batches. That said, I'm considering learning how to ferment in sanke kegs. I've found several options for how to...

Thanks for all the replies! Since this is a learning experience for me, I figured that my mistake was in my understanding of how mash or brewhouse efficiency is calculated. So I was so focused on making sure my calculations and conversions were correct, that I apparently forgot to step back...

One related question, which may help highlight what I'm trying to get at. The recipe calls for boiling down to 5.5 gallons. I accidentally only boiled down to 6 gallons, so I know that will effect my starting gravity. But I still shouldn't have been as low as I was. Recipe OG: 1.053 (for...

I recently switched to brewing all-grain but am missing my target gravity, and I'm trying to figure out where things are going wrong. The following calculations are based on this Guinness Draught Clone. I'm not positive that I'm doing the calculations correctly, but it looks like...

I was looking around for a grain mill a little while back, and saw that it looks like Adventures in Homebrewing runs a "CyBeer Monday" sale (found this thread for last year's.) I'm waiting to see if they list it for sale again...

I'd buy that - I remember watching X-Files and thinking Gillian was looking pretty good. Also agreed on Julia Roberts. My wife says I'm too picky, but Julia Roberts has a massive mouth! She's pretty right up until she laughs - something about that huge maw makes me want to put a bag over her...

I think you and I have different expectations of what whores do in church... :cross:

I never spend change, but collect it in a (large) change jar that I save up until it's full. Then I take it to the bank, and convert it to cash (usually $200-$250). The only rule (which my wife is aware of) is that this is "fun" money, and has to be spent on something fun - no bills, etc...

Really interesting thread! I'm planning on making a Vanilla Edmund Fitzgerald Porter in a couple weeks, and am considering making this adjustment. I fly sparge, and will perform a mash-out. That said, I'm still not quite clear as to when I should add the Chocolate Malt and Roasted...

I figured that might be the case - and I imagine I'll follow the instructions as well. But I was just curious because (as I understand it) there shouldn't be any difference in flavor or aroma for anything boiled past 60 minutes. So I'm curious if anyone has any insight as to why this would...

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but I'm getting ready to do a porter, and this one looks promising! However, I had a question about the boil time. It's been mentioned that this is a 90 minute boil - no problem, I can do that. But out of curiosity: why 90 minutes? I assume the 90...
