I don't know why I haven't put that guy on my ignore list. Possibly because he seldom shows up on any thread I frequent, and I know better than to click on any thread he starts.


I love watching his train wreck threads. They're awful, but you can't look away.
 
Props to the guy for trying new things. However, beer is one of the most studied beverages in the history of humankind, and if there were better ways to do things, the brewing science literature would already reflect them. Homebrewers can get away with trying new things (like no-chill or BIAB) that aren't feasible for pros, but ultimately pros do things the way they do because solid science (and not backyard science) has proven them to be the most effective. I will never so easily disregard accepted practice as he does.

Yeah, I didn't at all care about his experiment. If that's how he wants to make beer it's fine by me. But for god's sake please stop making up definitions to brewing words and phrases to suit your own needs.
 
Also, I used to use Elmer's Glue on the aforementioned 10" blue mohawk. Hair gel, hair spray, even egg whites couldn't get the job done.

I used Zest soap to keep my mohawk up. it could stay up for days and washed out clean.
Knox gelatin. PKU

For that hoofy goodness.



However, my understanding is that contrary to popular belief hooves don't make for good gelatin. Glue on the other hand...


Maybe they get it from less delicious cuts.

I probably should try isinglass one of these days although it's hard to beat gelatin for its simplicity.

Granted it's not as simple as doing nothing before iiijaaskiii reminds me of his penchant for brewing laziness.

BTW iijakkii did you like my DEM post earlier. By laws and all.
 
Man... You guys are going to make me have to go to my parent's for the Mohawk and blue hair pics.

I usually use gelatin when I want something super clear in bottles. Problem is that gelatin tends to not resettle when disturbed, where the fish bladders seem to actually work BETTER after being roused once or twice, and resettle reliable (up to a point), which makes it a far better solution for use in casks.
 
Apparently people on the internet have decided it's a good idea to do a "beer bong through a slice of pizza". I think it's safe to say have reach the utmost valley of the collapse of human civilization.
 
I finally get my hands on a pint. I went with Guinness, since I'll be making my own version next weekend. SWMBO and I have also come up with a plan for the evening: beers, shower-beers, PJs, glazed salmon on a bed of rice with steamed broccoli, and some TV. This is the effing life.
