The ticket is evidence. The cop doesn't have to be in court for the ticket to be admitted as evidence.

Instant dismissal in Florida if the cop doesn't show. They were getting all the speeding tickets dismissed here because the company that makes the radar guns wouldn't testify to how they work a few years ago. Not sure what happened with that, I haven't heard anything in the news about it in a while.

Same here in CA. Well the dismissal don't know about the radar gun. It used to be that most of the time the cop wouldn't show up. Word got out and a bunch of tickets got dismissed, now the cop shows up more often than not.

It was an interesting time for sure. The company that made the radar guns would refuse to testify citing trade secrets and the judge would throw the case out. Similar thing happened with the red light cameras, most municipalities have removed them since the tickets won't stand up in court.

Having this now

Son went to a sleep-out so instead of cooking, going out for dinner. My aching body needed the break anyway - and the Nova game is on as a bonus. Lipping Distortion- great beer.

That was my 2nd guess...awesome beer! Drinking SN Harvest now, but got his IPA/DIPA chilling.

So, Friendly Friends with nothing else to do, I have a puzzle. Planed for a lighter stout at my usual 65%ish efficiency, but ended up at 80%ish. This is my first brew using pickling lime for increased bi-carbinate. My pre-boil actual was [email protected], but I'm usually low from BS2 calculations, so don't stress over it. Never, ever had these kind of post boil/efficiency numbers. I use RO then re-mineralize.

Pics are planed numbers, then actual numbers and proof of my conundrum. Along with Brew'n water calculations.

So my overall question is this, is this a function of better water chemistry? Any input, besides the grandma picture taking, would be helpful. Thanks anyone! Post boil sample was nice with the mouthfeel I'm aiming for.

First thought is check your volumes. I've not played with water chemistry, but if I was .014 high, I'd think volume must be off somewhere. Used more grain, less water, etc. if those are correct, then I got nothing...

I'm right at 5.5 gallons in the fermenter. That was my first thought, but swished the wort around in the fermenter and verified.

Made some dinner for some new parents at church. My aunt's pork chop and potato dish. Good stuff.

Had this since I need beer if I'm in the kitchen.

Thanks val!

Such a fantastic beer.

Same crush on your grains as normal? I'm just as lost as you. If the only change was water chemistry, I'd have to say that was it, but seems off.

Pizza Boy's coconut Sunny Side Up. Another great brew.

I get my grains at the same LHBS. In the past, I've changed the crush settings to see if there's any change, but no go. Picking lime is the only change here. The biggest issue, I think, is no starter was done.

Drove home today in time to catch the games. Having this, pretty good!

Hi friendly friends.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Also I feel like a celebrity. Today was at least the 10th time that someone I know IRL knows who I am on HBT, but I didn't even know they were on HBT at all (not that I had any reason to believe they wouldn't be, just never knew they were, still don't know their HBT name).

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

HB RIS. Curious on @m00ps opinion. Most others are crap, but this aging well imho.

Thanks for responding btw!😊

You still in there? Taking too long to poop is bad for the colon, you get hemorrhoids and stuff.

Every day more and more I think the risk of 20 years in prison for armed bank robbery is preferable to 20 years of job.

That's a good retirement plan. Free food, housing and of course..you know.😉
