Don't rush those coats of poly.
If you ever run a file server, try to remember to empty the trash on it once in a while. It's been a couple of months, and I've been doing that for like an hour.
So, when's the bottle of whiskey for?It seems like late night to me but I see it's not even 5 PM. Long day. Thanks so much to all who sent "good vibes". Leaving to see my kids at college this week and next week will be hubby recovering from surgery. Back to "nurse mode". I've started a batch of hard lemonade and a batch of hard apple cider. Lemonade for difficult days, and apple for difficult evenings.
I'm the families IT. Not professionally. That means I'm the only one who understood how useful a high capacity network drive would be. That's the file server I'm talking about. I'm not familiar with Homer, either connect or admin. Though I do know what it is.You're IT? It all makes sense now. Do you know Homer?

I failed at that...thankfully.
I did learn this on guitar though:

Pasteurizing apple cider Breaking Bad style!
50 bottles done and no explosions this year...
Saftey First
I had a bottle explode in the pot last year, and it put the fear in me. It put quite a dent on the aluminum lid, and glass managed to get passed it. I walked in the kitchen to find glass all over the stove top and on the floor all around the stove. The sound was quite impressive, too.

It's a breakfast cereal.Intuitively, I'd say the best plan is to leave plenty of airspace in the bottle.
Gases (air) are very compressible, but liquids are very not (that's why brakes, et.al., are hydraulic and not pneumatic). With the highly compressible headspace in the bottle, your chances of explosion are minimized.
LOVE the pic. And, what is Krave?
If I had one I would! I put 2 very heavy cast iron dutch ovens on top this time.Next time use a pressure cooker. The lid is locked down so glass won't get by it.
Nothing can possibly go wrong.
I actually have always suspected that it was indeed a weak bottle, but that batch was pretty heavily carbonated. I wouldn't say over carbed, but it was definitely very well carbonated. I'm sure those 2 things led to the explosion. This year I carbed much lower, which I'm fine with..That minimizes the chances of giving the bottles thermal shock. Unless they are flawed or over pressured, that's usually why bottles go when they are being pasteurized.

The pressure cooker thing was a joke. Needs to be said for safety's sake, I guess.

Hmm, I don't think that's true if you lock the lid and let it build up pressure. You have to be careful not to let those things get to much pressure in them. If you had one with a blown seal, then sure. The lids are a lot stouter then a normal pot, and the locking flange should keep the lid from popping off and allowing shrapnel to escape.Intuitively I think it's safer than boiling in a pan. Science might not back that up.
By safer, I'm thinking that it is less likely to explode. Or, at least, no more likely.

I like mine for bottle pasteurizing, I just don't put the lid on at all.
The song consists of six sections: introduction, ballad, guitar solo, opera, hard rock and finale. This format, with abrupt changes in style, tone and tempo, was unusual to rock music.,
LBR! You still up my friend?
