Shoooooot... those aley-gators are mean. Real mean.

I made the stinky batch on 1/2/13. And I was thinking maybe there is some bad chemistry between the yeast and that brand of juice, I know it sounds dumb.. But my other batches with a different yeast smell great. And I did read many of the other discussions regarding rhino farts, and various...

Valid argument. Go to the range, or set up a moving target on a pendulum and see how many times you can hit a weighted pie pan-size target moving at 10 yards (30 feet) with a pistol, or a rifle.. then try a shotgun. Or you yourself strife side to side firing at a still target with a variety of...

Yup. Diammonium phosphate. Wonder if I keg an carb.. Would the CO2 push out the funk? First batch cleared up in about a month and was clear for a couple weeks I guess. It smelled so bad I got mad at it and dumped.

This is the 2nd batch I've fermented with EC-1118. The first one was so bad I dumped it. This one is super sulphuric. I whipped it with a wine whip, which helped a little, but still smells eggy. Tastes ok. Smells bad. Both batches I've made with Cote des Blanc turned out great. And I decided...

Ok.... I was just saying that some people may be very calm during a home invasion and be able to crack off a very well aimed shot. Others may prefer to have the large margin of error if they were in an episode of adrenaline rush and finding it difficult to stay calm and aim proper.

Haha!! Who said anything about letting an intruder find me!?? Allow me to clarify: no matter what entrance the guy came in, I would be able to circumvent his path and take him down before he even had a plan of action. When it comes to my family being at risk there would be no 'hide and seek' as...

If I was creeping someone's house and heard a shotgun action I think I'd be exiting the nearest window or door. It's surprising that y'all would feel differently. I guess it would depend on the perp's motive... If dude is just looking for drugs and money then yeah I'd bet dollars to donuts they...

Target = whichever gets you in the bullseye. Hunting = whatever size brings down your prey Home defense = the most intimidating sound ever is the "cha-chuu" of a pump action shotgun being chambered. Pistol = .357 magnum can shoot heavy loads and can also shoot lighter cheaper .38...

Make that 3 people this has happened to. Was checking my stash the other day and found a couple loose caps out of maybe a dozen. The beer taste fine from one bottle. I was afraid it might have gone flat, but was not the case.

Turned out very well. Very well! Tastes like I'm drinking a 7.7% pastry. Creamy. Bready. Mellow. Slight fruit hints. I'll be making it again. And I'll be more mindful of the yeast selection, as for now I can't complain about a thing.

Wow, thanks Woodland Brew! no kidding. free testing... very cool. can i send more than one sample? I have some other harvested yeast I'd like to know more about.

I had about 2 cups (~500 mL) total harvest. Which settled nicely with cold refrigeration. So I decanted it down to the trub / yeast and split the decanted slurry in 2 jars. To one jar I added 3/4 cup (180 mL) boiled and cooled water. To the other half of slurry I added just about 3/4 cup (180...

Yeah... I high jacked this thread. And I apologize. Be careful, I left a big soapbox sittin on the floor. :drunk:

Hahaha. I don't know what I brewed either. I guessed (wrongly) that the kit had all the correct ingredients-including yeast. I realize I should have used T-58 or a liquid Belgian strain. But hey live and learn, right? Living in the country don't make you a country boy. And adding Belgian sugar...

S-04. Yup. That's what came in the kit. Made a good size starter. It took off really well and fermented hard for about 5 days.

So after pure alcohol injection and having their body fluid and electrolytes replaced intravenously the mice are supposed to feel great? So very true, though. As long as guys are getting paid to inject mice with ethanol to prove why their scientific model should get another grant for...

I did an electric blanket wrap for 2 days, probably brought the beer temp up to about 76-78, but didn't do a dip-stick thermometer, so that's a guess. 2 days elec blanket. Another week at room temp. Bottled yesterday (day 24 in primary) I did get another 0.02 off the FG, but that may have been...

We have a hormone called the Anti Diuretic Hormone (ADH) in our bodies. Alcohol depletes the production of ADH. This is why we pee a lot when we drink. Well.. Both the depletion of ADH and the increased consumption of liquids. With the depletion of ADH, our bodies dehydrate from the inside...

Thank you (all). I'll work on this for a few days and try to remember to post the results.
