Me too. Not that I didn't get some okay results but that there is way too much effort for a mediocre payout. You can get better results with true raw milk but that stuff costs me $9/ gallon. I can get real Italian market made fresh mozz for about $8/ lb.

I've been working out pretty hard since April. Today something cool happened. I put on my weight belt and noticed, don't really know how I didn't notice before, that when I fully strapped it up the ends overlapped by a good 6 inches. When I started lifting the ends were at least two inches apart.

There was a thread a while back asking whether people hit slumps in their brewing where the results were not bad, just kind of boring. At that time I was on major roll producing one great beer after another. Then I went on a brewing binge and now have seven beers on tap and I am bored with...

Results like that are cool to see. I started a muscle building regime in May as a precursor to going on a crazed exercise diet. I started at 250, I just broke 200. My waist went from 42 down to 36 so far. The cool thing is that my chest has stayed at 46. My goal is 175 and a 32 inch...

My wife and I have a long tradition of serving a roasted duck as our Christmas dinner. This year was no exception but somehow it seemed less festive seeing this perfectly executed feast. Next year I will for sure be trying this. (BTW a couple weeks back we were invited to a Turducken party...

You shouldn't say anything mean about people who can't read. You should write it instead. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't Anyone can quit smoking, it takes a real man to fight cancer I cry during sex.... ****ing Mace Before you insult a man, walk a mile in his...

That is waaay too much Irish Moss. A teaspoon or two should do which is about 1/20th of an oz. (Unless you meant tsp then nevermind.)

Plus one on using a paint strainer bag as a sieve and soldiering on. No glass will make it through the bag. They don't use lead in food thermometers. Not in many lab thermos either. Much much more likely it is steel.

This is a friendly PSA: Now you too, can be Greenman!

Those are just crazy numbers. 56 reports to the BBB! And of those he ignored close to 40 of the complaints. I wonder what percentage of those ripped off report to the BBB. I bet its not more than 1 out of 5. If this is not clear evidence of an ongoing criminal enterprise I don't know what is.

Bobby, you're right that the beer will reabsorb some readily available co2. The reality is that there is only a miniscule amount of co2 to reabsorb and the pressure will never drop below atmosphere so that leaves even less available to reabsorb. For all intents and purposes then using the...

You've got it backwards. As the temp lowers dissolved co2 increases, so you should use the higher temp. But you are correct, once the co2 is gone the beer does not reabsorb it if the temp falls. This is because the higher the temp the lower the amount of co2 in the beer. So you always use the...

I like beers with dogs on the label or name.

This is very possible, even likely, as Lambic and other sour beer brewers count on this fact when infecting their batches with wild yeasts harbored in the structure of the brewery. Their batches are dosed with the "house blend" of bugs very reliably simply from being exposed to the environment...

I just started a new low fat regimen. This could work nicely for me if it is still available.

Sweet on the stout faucet. I was surprised how much I loved mine when I got it. It is just a cool piece of equipment.

I've dealt with CCM a couple times. I wish I could remember the specifics but something made me stop ordering from them. I know, very vague, but I honestly don;t remember why I have a bad recollection of them. If you are looking for a supplier of cheap non-artisan grade beans try out...

It takes the same amount of time to make a five gallon batch as it does to make a one gallon batch. If all I got was a gallon of beer for each batch that I brewed I would have quit this hobby about 300 batches ago. If I were you I would buy the ingredients for a full five gallon batch and...
