so ready to win this!

hehe...you taped the booty band show on 6-10-06!!!!! I first met Al (bass/trombone) back at Shakori in 2004....we hit it off great, and every time I'm at one of their shows, he seeks me out.....I've been preaching to them about etree and live trading ever since, and it's great to see that...

well, I got my 10 gallon coolers, and associated false bottom/valve hardware today...my first all-grain batch is goin on right now!!!!!! So, to celebrate - I've got a mix of jerry (garcia), some acoustic Dead, David Grisman, and some Yonder Mountain String Band.....love to annoy the campers...

had the goatee thing since 92 after ex trimmed off the three years' worth of tour beard........(kinda been inspired to keep it that way after she locked up the shop and let me know how much _she_ liked it ;) ) always keep the facial hair, as without it - I feel like potential prey for the gay...

jeez, I'll stick with my herbs and fermented grains....... My liver has enough problems without adding tylenol to the mix ;)

Oh yeah, SWMBO's birthday is the 18th, so gotta figure something to augment the pleasure of spending the weekend with my folks and one of my kids ;)

I'll be in the middle of a 1000 mile weekend drive to get the daughter from Knoxville, TN for Spring Break with Dad at the beach. Meeting the folks on the way back for a day at the Asheboro Zoo - hopefully, me, Dad, and SWMBO (O'Connell, McDermott, and K'enna clans here) will find a place to...

awesome trip....more photos, please.... bet that trip made you savor that first homebrew when you got home.

When I first moved to DC area in the 80s, the first group I hooked up with was the punks at Dupont Circle (drinking age was grandfathered for us at 18 in the District, so it was natural gravitating area)......I watched these guys bounce off cars in intersections.......pretty good pay if you can...

I, too, have learned a lot from lurking - and just as much by mindlessly blabbing (not so much about brewing, just about other members' *blab* thresholds :drunk: ). I too, love the smell and taste of my green beers, but SWMBO has made it clear that I AM NOT to drink the whole tube of...

My favorite 'thinking spot'. Betty's Rock, October, 2002 (Skyline Drive, VA)

OK, I managed to stumble across the acronym thread and finally found the reference......wow...my eyes will never be the same, after being exposed to such hostility.....hehehe... My dad was a lifelong sailor - I thought I had heard 'em all ;)

I'll admit I do bash AB quite frequently, but it's not because of their beer - it's there predatory practices that bug me..... When Old Dominion Brewery was becoming popular in the NOVA area - King Wholesalers was happily carrying their products, and Dominion benefitted from the distribution...

Dave Barry for President!!!! :ban: hehehe Let the Cynics Unite! I can remember his column being the only thing I looked forward to reading in the Washington Post each week.... There is a very fine line between 'hobby' and 'mental illness.' -- Dave Barry, "25 Things I Have Learned in...

Had to go to Atlanta last summer for a tech conference, and managed to hook up with an old high school buddy that I grew up with in VA Beach - we hadn't seen each other in 15 years....... It was just like old times...burned a big ol' fattie on the way back from the airport, and then spent the...

DVD is on its way....thanks for the link! I can't wait to check this out! Peace, Hippie

I have to agree with Cheesefood on this one...I usually prime all my beer when I rack to the keg, and sometimes I get impatient after only a week...chilling and force carbing at this point seems to lend a metallic taste to the beer - and the head retention and appearance are vastly different...

oh ****, two threads..... IMO...I find that I get significantly better protein break from full boils...rolling boils that still boil over a 10 gallon pot with 6.5 gallons of wort - but my beers have been noticeably clearer....my hop utilization has been higher also, but I knew to account for...

I've alway been led to believe that more CO2 was absorbed at lower temps, so i always chill my beer first (which also should settle out all the yeasty stuff), and then force carb..... since I've been doing this, my beers have always been much clearer. YMMV Chris(aka Hippiefreak)...
