    Seriously???

    Finally someone can offer a reasonable account and the ridiculous "bunch of worthless hippies have nothing better to do" posts look pretty juvenile now. Faux news successfully spins it again! Well done, lemmings, well done.

    Brew Target

    I've heard version 2.0 will be out soon! :mug: Love it, a great program and we (as industrious homebrewers) should do more to promote open source freeware projects like this!

    19th Annual Boneyard Brewoff

    Kept getting distracted after the holidays and missed the deadline. Whoops. :drunk:

    Lol

    I was usually spent after 15 minutes of anticipation just waiting for the ****s to DL 1/3rd of the way into the pic.

    Chicago Hop Contracts Buy

    Bill, I have about 100 lbs in now but I need to get a few things sorted out for potential splits. I have several varieties with only 4-8 pounds, so unless we can share an 11# bag with another club in the next few days, we are going to be a little short of that. I will post things to the site...

    Cable boxes from Hell...

    Yep, that's what the sales people told me. Then this tech support person says I need all the crap in the self install box to get started so they "can close my work order and activate the account"... WTF!? Yeah, send me a modem I've already told you I don't need and a bunch of cables and crap...

    Car Insurance Question?????

    Nah, you should have some confirmation of what is going on. I'm probably trusting enough to just go with it, but I understand your hesitation.

    Cable boxes from Hell...

    HA! I just spent half an hour this afternoon with a tech rep trying to get my owner-supplied cable modem working. Turns out the a-holes who set up my account and sold it to me also lied right through their teeth when they told me my account would be active immediately and that I could connect...

    Anyone else make sourdough? How about *beer* yeast starters?

    You can also throw a ladle of water on the floor of your oven and get a similar effect as long as you don't have convection on. But yes, a crock or french/dutch oven both work very well as stated in Bittman's no-knead bread recipe/method. The thermal mass of the crock will also allow the dough...

    Anyone else make sourdough? How about *beer* yeast starters?

    Kinda defeats the whole "sourdough" purpose of this thread... Anywho. I cheated and bought the sourdough starter from King Arthur Flour. Have had it going for a few months now and it's not too bad to keep going. I made bread about 2x per week at first but I've backed it down to once...

    What did Santa bring you?

    A vegetable peeler. No really, that's all I got from Santa. We said we weren't doing any presents (focused on the kids these days) Was something we needed anyway, so it was pretty funny

    Started my first hot sauce

    Not much discernible impact. Any vinegar you add will be more powerful than the lactic acid produced (which is generally pretty subtle). More than anything, it is for the preservative effect. The lactobacillus not only eats some of the easily fermentable sugars, but it will lower the pH far...

    Prepare to die laughing

    Just don't stick your finger in a butthole or play with your son's anus. Word to the wise. It's frowned upon in public. Wait, what?

    Prepare to die laughing

    Where do I find ****sicles? THAT sounds like a tasty treat.

    Started my first hot sauce

    I'm now on year 4 of hot sauce making. I make a 1 gallon batch every year now with the bountiful "year end" harvest from the garden. I typically grow a wide array of peppers and I have found that this give a better balance of flavor and heat in hot sauce form. Here is also a link to a...

    19th Annual Boneyard Brewoff

    Bwahaha, whoops.

    So apparently I am an ash hole...

    No worries. If you're pursuing a PhD, you're planning on spending the rest of your life acting like you're better than everyone else but getting paid less. It's like small-penis guys always talking about penises or bald dudes bragging about their manly body hair. :D

    Jerky

    Depends on how dry you are going to dry it. I still like to be able to bite through it without having to tussle with it. I lightly freeze the meat and then I slice at a diagonal, about 45 degrees off from the grain. Works well with bison or beef, IME. And I don't like adding EXTRA known...

    19th Annual Boneyard Brewoff

    I'll probably enter a couple if I can get off my arse and do it. I have a couple potential winners waiting to be recognized. :D Edit: Maybe not. Registration page says registration is closed. :drunk:
