It was an IED that got Phillip, he was EOD (explosive ordinance disposal) so his job was disarming the IED's. I wasn't that shocked initially to learn that he lost his life, but now the reality sets in that he gets no more time to spend with his children, or vice versa. Sorry to hear about...

A friend of mine who works EOD (bomb squad) in the Air Force was killed by an IED on Saturday. My wife is friends with his wife (how we met) and talks to her daily. He has two children, a five year old daughter and a three year old son, which now makes me feel guilty every time I play with mine...

If you still see active fermentation, then letting it sit for another week should do the trick. The wine kits I make require primary fermentation for at least two weeks, but longer won't hurt it any.

Congrats. That's great news Jay!

Yeah, Mr. Mackey from South Park. I got the two confused. M'kay.

I don't care for it, but SWMBO likes it. She also likes their berryweisse (sp?)--that to me is undrinkable. But, to each his own. There are those of us here who won't drink hefe's or IPAs--its all a matter of taste.

If you force carb, no. Will it benefit from a couple of weeks in the keg? Probably. The reason for the extra time in the bottle is for carbonation to occur, you bypass that by forcecarbing. So drink away, but bottle a few and throw them in the closet. You'll notice a big difference between the...

Welcome. Are you from Virginia, cause that would be wild. I'm from Michigan, but live in VA. As far as bottles go, check with a local bar. Maybe by paying the deposit you can pick up some empties.:mug:

Nah, ya hold on to the "old school" hat so noone mistakes you for a bandwagon fan.:D

Apparently, Goodell wants to extend the season. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/The-NFL-s-regular-season-is-about-to-get-longer?urn=nfl,150196 Now it could be possible for the Lions to beat their record for most losses in a season.:mad: EDIT: WTF, Yahoo won't let you...

WTF? Where did you go?

Another good sanitizer that hasn't been mentioned yet is Onestep. It's basically similar to Oxyclean. But, I've gone to using Starsan because most people here do...and I want to fit in.

If you just boiled off too much volume, then I'd say your good to add some water, but if you're going to do this after fermentation, then I'd pull a sample and then see if you really want to dilute it. Some of the best beer comes from making mistakes.:mug:

I looks like male threads on the inlet, and my regulator has female threads on the inlet. What's 25 CAN? Is that like 50 U.S.?:D

I've used the Munton's tabs in the past and the only issue I had was under/overcarbing based on their suggested tabs/volume (5 tabs for a 12'er!). After a couple of weeks, I'll tip the bottles upside down quickly to shake the sediment up. I don't know if that really helps, though.

One way to find out. :D My only concern would be whether the threads matched your other equipment. For what its worth, I have a "non-standard" regulator on my setup (by nonstandard, I mean different gauge ranges).

Not too familiar with beergas, but is it possible you have an empty bottle? Maybe nitrogen but no Co2? That's about all I can offer. By the way, welcome to the boards.:mug: EDIT again: have you tried serving the Guiness through a regular faucet? Maybe the Guiness tapper is malfunctioning.

If you plan on diluting your wort, you need to know the original gravity of what you boiled. If your boiled wort is at your predicted O.G., then I would suggest not diluting and just appreciate the smaller volume that you have. If, however, your O.G. is high, then you could dilute down to your...

That's not 2wd. ;)
