My answer: No. Life will, uh, find a way. I think my way is superior, because I think I know when to call b.s. (I admit I have been nearly wrong before. ((That wasn't easy for me.)))

I've never used paraffin or any other lubricant, and never had any sticking, so it must depend on your bell/capper.

Hey Union, Merry Christmas! So happy to hear you're doing okay. Haven't seen your posts in a while, and I was a little worried. (Probably I'm just reading the wrong stuff.) Anyway, cheers to you and yourn! P.S. Don't shoot your eye out.

Who are you "Denny," if you are collaborating with home brew icon and top-rated hobby podcaster Denny Conn? More specifically, who are you, and what have you done with the real Denny? Should we be worried? Also, do these 4.5% beers begin at 1.060? Sincerely, Home brew schmo and unrated...

We know, and we were going to wait until after the New Year to tell you this, but... :D

Launch my company providing homebrew products... no, get a Hatchimal.

You don't need SG. You want ABV - alcohol by volume. Volume decreases, but the amount of alcohol stays approximately the same. If ABV is 10% before freezing, then you freeze/remove 20% of the volume as ice, you now have 10 volumes of alcohol in every 80 (100%-20%) volumes of beer, so ABV is...

Nice Crackimal. By the shape of the top, I'm pretty sure you will hatch a pope.

I suppose clues are unnecessary for mine. Yep, it means that too. Love the name passedpawn. Reminds me of this kid who used to unleash the dreaded triple pawn attack. There's no way to beat that move, and I never wanted to.

A Singletrack huh. Bad deal. I hear those things just hang around drinking all the beer. And Chia seeds won't even stick to them.

OP, Others are tying to trade junk. You know better. I really don't want your Hatchcamel, and I don't even know anyone who wants your Hatchmauler, but now that I know others want it, I must have it. So, I offer up the thing you want most. It's true. I have -- and I'm willing to trade -- a Chia...

Probably okay for a 4 gal batch of beer. Is that your batch size?

I believe it is called "cold hopping" now.

Sometimes it helps me respond to a post if I know where the person lives, especially if it is outside the U.S., but even within the U.S. there are large differences in weather, elevation, etc. that could be useful.

Thanks, but the science in that thread is unconvincing. I agree that a half full bottle that explodes is more dangerous than a full bottle that explodes, but I'm doubtful that the half full bottle is more likely to explode in the first place. There's less beer with sugar, so there's less CO2...

Why would a half filled bottle be a potential bottle bomb? I think it is more likely to be flat.

Stone has a(n) RIS? Well, sure they do. Your boss had you drinking this on said "rough morning?" I can't make sense of that. Was it just a little taste? What workplace tolerates drinking -- in the morning? (...and where do I apply? :))

Is that the wine drinkers equivalent of the beer mile? I threw up a little in my mouth just thinking about it. Good luck! (I would put a dense foam between the board and the bottle.)

thespiff, I make a starter, so my yeast is produced one day before I pitch it. It's not difficult to brew with fresh yeast.

That's why babies cry -- to make us excited/nervous/stressed to the point that we will do whatever they need to make them happy again. Dogs have an amazing ability to relate to humans, and they get that crying is a problem. They can't solve the problem, so they stress until you solve it. I...
