Summer is pretty much hell on earth in houston. Heat Humidity Bugs Electricity bill Hurricanes 85 degree tap water on the cold side I'll take the middle of January any day over may-october

Maybe you're catching a cold or something. Nah, it's definitely chick mouth syndrome.

its 80 degrees and 65% humidity here and I'm trying to do a triple decoction. Trying not to drip sweat in the kettle sucks.

Houston is all non smoking I think. I don't smoke so I don't really pay attention. If they have good beer and good food I don't care.

So that's why my kolsch tastes like honey

Friday sounds like its going to be fun. I wonder if I'll be the first person to make an all zombie slave brewed beer.

Check out www.wildvinecarvings.com that's where I got all of my custom handles and my mash paddle.

I had one that was really stuck once and no where else available to transfer the beer. So I took the poppet out of the liquid side, attached some 5/8 tubing, and started increasing the pressure until it finally let go. It was still flowing even after I took the gas disconnect off so don't forget...

I sure thought about it, but I didn't really want to argue with people who handle my food when I can't see them. I was resigned to boring beer at that point anyway.

So they have these movie theaters around here that serve food and drinks while you watch, they've got this 40oz mug called the tanker. Nothing special on tap so I asked for mine to be filled with guiness, server goes away, comes back 5 minutes later and says the bar tender won't fill it because...

Definitely 16oz, having to double pour something out of a grolsch style bottle sucks.

Got them 2 years ago and broke both within a couple months. Got them again for Christmas last year and they have been my daily drinking glass all year. Sometimes the etching in the bottom can be very hard to clean, especially if you let a little beer dry in the bottom.

I'd be willing to trade someone for a sample of that yeast.

So my options would of been ignore weird neighbors and go about enjoying my brew day. Or Call the cops and best case scenario piss off my neighbors. Worst case piss off neighbors and embarrass myself in front of the people that live 100 feet away and the cops. Hmmm tough choice.

I feel bad for you. I've got enough crap to take care of at my own house and not enough time to do it. I couldn't imagine being the neighborhood handyman and beer supplier.

I brewed in the garage yesterday because of the rain, usually I'm in the back yard. The neighbor across the street came out and started taking pictures of me but didn't say anything and no cops showed up so I'm not really sure what that was about.

I'll test out the timer sunday but so far the cloud recipes work great and the reference section is awesome. Descriptions and substitutions of hops will come in very handy at the lhbs. I just wish I could edit recipes. I have a recipe that is set for 6.25 gallons but I'd like to set it to 5.5...

I cut my cable tv sub about 2 years ago. Used to be 120$ a month for 10mb Internet, a couple of dvrs and basic + expanded channels (Nat Geo, etc). I got tired of paying 80/m just to watch 2 channels and having to watch commercials. Then they implemented a 250gb data cap that I blew past in 15...

I measured it out once and two row was slightly less than a quart per pound. Just sort of eyeballed it and always got close enough.

Any label that looks too nice or clean I usually won't buy. Widmer brothers and red hook are probably the best examples of this. Also dog fish heads paper labels piss me off to touch, just the feeling of the dry paper is like nails on a chalk board.
