I like this time at night on HBT

[cannman]

Well after brewing for more years than the average age of a hbt member, it appears I have my first bottle bomb. It must have be a low grade explosion. The bottle was still standing but missing a middle section. It was a carrot wine of all things.

Have you made rootbeer/soda? They pretty much have a drink by date before KAbOoM! I gave one to my dad for New Years and was mortified to see it still on the top shelf on the 4th of July. Congrats BTW

20 years ago I was listening to rap, mc hammer, and Queen (I think Freddy had just died). But then I figured out I could get girls and the world of "chick music" flooded in... Good times.

SWMBO says replacing the vodka in my airlocks with starsan so I can drink a vodka tonic is a sign.

Make her one. Problem solved.

Anyone else here do any hunting? I got my first ruffed grouse of the season today!

A tiny bit of fishing but jo hunting. Is a ruffed grouse a goose?

I did some work for a guy that has a few miles of private roads and his property borders state and paper land. He said I could come out anytime and shoot at some birds. I hope I can find the time. I have my licence and shells and shotgun in my truck.

Not a goose. Much smaller but still a worthwhile bird. About the size of a Cornish hen. Maybe a bit smaller. All white meat and bone dry if not cooked properly. Best game meat IMO.

Used to hunt all the time. Big game and rabbits/squirrels mostly but since moving to Nebraska the hunting sucks. No access to private land and all the public land is grossly over hunted. If you want to actually have a good hunt you have to pay a ranch to let you come out.

 

[podz]

I used to hunt a lot when I was a teen, but not anymore. Both of my dogs like to hunt, though ;-)

Far cheaper to go to the supermarket and buy some moose meat than it is to actually kill a moose yourself. Won't be much longer until moose is in the supermarkets and I'll be cooking some moose burgers!

I am a grouse hunter. I sit and watch deer walk by every year. I have only ever shot one. It's a lot of work to process one by yourself. I always think of that before I pull the trigger. I want a turkey. We have them everywhere but only 1000 permits for the UP? I saw at least 30 today bringing the boys to grandma's.

I was in Alaska visiting my Brother-in-law who is a fisherman. I discovered moose cannot be photographed. We could be driving at 70mph on the freeway and stick the camera out the window and get a postcard waterfall. But a Moose who spends 20 minutes with his head through the kitchen window trying to reach some food and you can blow 2 rolls if film (yes it was awhile ago) and get nothing but a quaint picture if an open window.

And what would you be doing with a moose photo if you had one anyway? I have a good grouse photo...first bird Witt my oldest son. I wanted to share but can't find it. He was afraid to touch it but I made him carry it back to the truck.

Damned moose are just dying to get into the graveyard!

 

[lschiavo]

Ouch! I'm gonna look you up pods next time I get to Finland. I'm 75%. Both sets of grandparents spoke Finnish but never taught me a word...except swears

Well, I'm not sure, but I suppose I'd picture helping that moose over the fence?!?

Here's a good Finnish saying for you with a photo to demonstrate:

Ahneella on paskainen loppu

Did you understand the meaning of the saying?

"Greediness has a ****ty ending". Oh, the snake who swallowed an alligator whole and then it's stomach exploded.

Tasting 5 day old beer (as in 5 days in the fermenter)...I do believe it was a tiny bit fizzy... tiny tiny tiny... Should it be?

 

[brewingmeister]

Put the airlock back on and walk away...

All day I have been checking the site, its kinda nice that as far as I know I still haven't lost the big SS brewing giveaway, yet.

Who's Austin? The new Administrator? What happened to TX?

 

[LabRatBrewer]

Who's Austin? The new Administrator? What happened to TX?

Hmm, I half drunkenly remember a post (or article) introducing an assistant and I think there was a picture of him picking names in the past...or maybe I'm having deja vu?

 

[ChefRex]

I hate when the drawings get put off, if I won something and lost it because I didn't respond in 24 hrs when the drawing was several days late I don't think I would be very happy, not that I win crap.

I don't know Austin and then I see admin, made me wonder.
