    My brother got a DUI. I need advice from those with "experience"...

    Probable cause begins with a traffic stop. So thats why 1000s of people are beating drug cases in court for a officer illegally searching a motor vehicle. Under your laws once a cop pulls you over he has the right to do what ever he wants. He can search your vehicle, force you to give blood so...

    Extract Brewing Timing

    I usually takes me 3-3 1/2 hrs to do a 60 min boil extract kit. You have to kind of learn when to sanitize your carboy and what not. What i use to do before i built a wort chiller is put my kettle in the ice bath. Then sanitize my carboy while it cooled. Also a factor is how long will it take...

    My brother got a DUI. I need advice from those with "experience"...

    These people who keep saying they can force you to give blood in a simple DUI case is crazy! If probable cause exists yes the officer can get a warrant to take your blood by force. They will not get a warrant unless theres a accident or injury involved. Now yes refusal to blow your license will...

    Should I drink it???

    I was worried about the same thing on over year old oatmeal stout. Yet 8 year old home brew is much older then year old stout. From what i have read anything with 2% ABV or above nothing can grow in it that can hurt you. I have also heard from a number of people nothing in beer will hurt you...

    My First Brewing Disaster.

    When your airlock blew off there was prob so much co2 that nothing bad got into your beer. I love to hear when a home brewer has a blowout and krausen gets all over the wall and ceiling. That they are more worried about there batch then the mess. True home brewers worry about there batch and the...

    My brother got a DUI. I need advice from those with "experience"...

    Innocent till proven guilty is basically a joke for DUI cases. The reason the conviction rate is so high on DUI. Is because this country makes millions and millions of dollars by convicting people for DUI every day. That is why its one of the charges that there least lenient with. If that is the...

    My brother got a DUI. I need advice from those with "experience"...

    Yes you can be forced to give blood if an accident is involved. And i was just stating the only way one would have a chance to beat a DUI. And if you get arrested for a DUI in most states weather you beat it or not your license still gets suspended for 6months. So if you could beat it by...

    My brother got a DUI. I need advice from those with "experience"...

    Good lord a home brew miss print. And trust me i know more about DUIs then most of these people. If he wants 2 hire a lawyer and waste 5000 bucks and spend a year wondering the outcome. Then by all means go ahead and hire a lawyer. Remember he asked for advice i just gave it what he does with it...

    My brother got a DUI. I need advice from those with "experience"...

    Your brother has no chance of getting off on these charges if he blew. He will prob not goto jail on his first offense unless he has a criminal record. If he blew hiring a lawyer will just be a further waste of money at this juncture. He will most deff loose his license for say 6 months to a...

    New Batch .... New Problems

    Also if you've already spent 400$. Goto youtube and search how to make a wort chiller. This is how i just made mine and i got all the parts at lowes for 36$ compared to the 70 they wanted online. And its pretty easy to make will solve your cooling the wort issues. I was amazed how fast my wort...
