Dude. I'm lucky to have a gas station nearby that also fills propane tanks. No tank exchange for me - my tanks are mine and I take care of them. Once I asked my wife to get my tank filled while she was running errands and she came back with a rusty, crappy looking Blue Rhino tank WTF!!!! I...

My very first batch as a homebrewer more than a dozen years ago - I forgot to add hops. Well I didn't forget as much as I assumed that the can of malt extract syrup I had was hopped when it clearly said unhopped. In any case, it was completely undrinkable and went down the drain. Luckily, I...

Plastic buckets. Cheap and easy to clean. Easy to carry.

Relax. Don't worry. Yada yada...

I used to live in Atlanta. I loved Taco Mac.

Motherpussbucket!

That brought a tear to my eye! Prost!

Give 'em hell man! To be cautious I wouldn't post anything here in this public forum about possible retaliation on the perps by other students. It may be admissable as premeditation/conspiracy.

+100 Ed What if this incident had taken place in a Mall or Restaurant? What would have happened then? The police would have shown up and the two punks would very likely have ridden to the hospital in the back of a squad car on their way to the station on charges of assault, battery...

I took a few years off when my kids were born and just got back into it. You can do it as long as you schedule it. That's the thing about marriage and parenting is that it's no longer all *my* time, it's *our* time Mr. Hand. I brew at night after the kids are in bed or wake up early in the...

I hear ya man. The anticipation can get to you sometimes. I've got a batch that I brewed up Sunday morning. Because I've had Krauszilla attacks my last to batches, I tried to keep the temperature with this one by putting the fermentation bucket in a tub of water. I've got this bigass blowoff...

Got up before the sunrise and am whipping up a batch of my Sam Adams clone on the back deck. It's 32 degrees outside, but with no wind it's certainly tolerable with a hot cup of coffee. Hope to get it in the can, pitched, and cleaned up before the wife and kids are up and conscious.

Bottling is what killed the hobby for me for about 5 years - after the kids were born. Bottling is an "event". Just like you've gotta have a brew day - with 2-4 hours set aside, you've also gotta have a "bottling day" a few weeks later. Kegging brought me back from the abyss. Now I have the...

Hey there Hoptrap. Welcome to Lynchvegas. There *is* an active HomeBrew Club in Lynchburg. They meet once a month to trade samples and discuss. I know a lot of the guys will get together for brew days. I have not gone to any meetings, but I am on their e-mail list and can hook you up (send...

Hey all, I'm not new to brewing but I am new to the forums. After some time off with small kids, I'm back into the hobby and eagerly getting back on to a production schedule. I first started brewing sometime in the mid 90s when I was single and an apartment to myself. I've always been...
