I have the darkstar 2.0, I had a burner that was the same style as the original dark star. I don't have experience with the other burners you have listed. Comparing the 2.0 with its banjo burner vs. whatever those little junky burners are called on the original dark star. The 2.0 with the...

One thing I want to point out. I don't necessarily agree that just because they die in the show means they don't play an important role in the books. If this was true, leaving Lady Stoneheart out of the show would be a rather large character to suggest she's not important to the books (why...

Two things I've thought of recently. First, oxygen absorbing caps, I've always used these since day one. I don't know if you mentioned having using these. So its worth a try if you don't or don't know if yours are O2 absorbing caps. Second, do you fill and immediately crimp the caps on...

I think on Brew Strong they were talking about this. I can't remember exactly what they said but if you look at the volume of the head space for the 22oz and the 12oz bottles they're very close. Also the opening in the bottles are the same size so any oxygen making its way in is the same amount...

It's entirely likely she had money for her mission to kill the actress. If her role to play was a middling born woman with decent clothes on it would be prudent to have some minor spending money on her person. As well any additional money needed to complete the mission in general. For example to...

You could take a 1 gallon milk jug and measure water that way. I don't know how measuring 32 cups of water wouldn't get you pretty close. I use a 1 gallon jug from a bottle of cider. I would hope that any vessel marked as "1 gallon" would measure pretty close to a gallon each time I fill it...

Cigar City Jailai (Jai Lai? cant remember if theres a space) Bell's Two Hearted TrimTab Brewing Company TrimTab IPA (seriously if you find this get it!) Its too bad two of my favorites I cannot get locally.

Do they eat a lot of chicken or something? I do sort of wish she had made the dragon eat all of the Dothraki, saves us the time watching them get chopped to bits in Westeros.

Everyone dies anyway so its not that hard to follow the 100+ characters.(mostly joking) Honestly its easier to follow the show than the books. You almost always have a face to attach to a name, as opposed to reading the books if a character is introduced for a few lines, then you don't see...

Wish I had a gopro for my brew day last weekend of a BIPA. First problem, spigot(kettle) clogged with the metric ton of hop pellets, so I couldn't transfer the usual way. So had to grab and dump the old fashioned way. Forgot that my spigot(fermenter) was left open so this will be some...

I guess I consider those to be nice surprises, bonuses for brewing a good beer. I wouldn't want to roll into every competition expecting cash/cash equivalent prizes, then if I get BOS and then no cash prizes I'll just be disappointed. Also I'd rather pay less for my entries and get no cash/cash...

I hope you do not intend to suggest giving out cash/cash equivalent prizes? This would probably make competitions worse and increase the pressure on judges, people complain quite a bit to judges *right now* when nothing is on the line other than a medal/certificate. Sometimes I give a pass on...

You can more than likely cut the special roast in half or all together. I've found it sometimes creates a sour-ish Roast character and it might clash. 8oz to me sounds heavy, but if you've used it in other beers and like it's general character then go for it (only giving personal experiences on...

Piggy backing on this thread because I am in the exact same situation as the OP, getting ready to start kegging. Is counter pressure bottle filling as difficult as it sometimes sounds? Or once you get it, it's much less variable than bottle conditioning?

Having deliberately aged some hops for lambic/sour brewing, its a very very distinct smell when the hops have gone bad. Cheese, dirty gym sock, arm pits, unshowered nerd. It's entirely possible you *did* get a bum bag. But it would have to be a very very old bag that you purchased. I set...

Add one more thing, soft brown bananas are much easier to deal with slicing them up, and they break down much quicker in the boiling/simmering water. Particularly when you're out of your mind like me and did 7 gallons with 20+lbs of bananas (the lady at the cash register probably thought I was...

Yes, it will. The yeast will produce quite a bit of heat while reproducing and fermenting. Quite often you can expect the beer during the most active periods to be 5+ degrees F higher than ambient temp. I would in your situation use the basement bathroom. The initial 2-3 days the yeast will...

How does everyone respond to the "What sort of styles do you like to brew" question after you say you are a homebrewer? I waffle between "I brew whatever happens to catch my fancy while reading articles about a beer styles". Or I go back to "Mostly German and Belgian style beers with a...

No, never. If I come across a bottle with dried on junk, I recycle the bottle. I have like, 400 bottles, I don't need to waste my time cleaning out a bottle with dried on gunk.

Which, would be 100% true. IF it were the case that the entire warehouse was sitting around on their hands Monday and Tuesday doing nothing. Literally, I mean, they were doing NOTHING, and NOT A SINGLE ORDER was picked and packed and shipped... IF that was the case, the complaint is...
