I got my order from northernbrewer today.

Did you have to meet with a loan officer before pulling the trigger on that?

I love NB, but my last (almost) order from them, a small one at that, I rang out at just under $115. I then ordered the same stuff from Love2Brew, my favorite new vendor, and it was $85. Sorry guys.

Nice LG! I've been lucky enough to get hundreds of bottles from work, three or four at a time from the recycling bin. Including quite a few bombers. It's saved me a lot of money.

So this is me..... not every night! But I love this, can't explain it, don't understand it, I'm a Classical Music lover. However, when the mood strikes... AC/DC suites me fine
Thanks Dan, good thread, certainly would like to meet you one day

My order from northernbrewer subtotaled 102.15. The same order from love2brew, without the sake kit that they don't seem to carry was 86.48. Without the sake kit the northernbrewer order would have totaled 90.16. So, straight prices love2brew comes out better by 3.68.

The real difference is the shipping. Love2brew wants 72.63 to ship the order. Northernbrewer charged 13.95. That means that the northernbrewer order without the sake kit would have cost me 104.11, while love2brew wants 159.11. That makes the northernbrewer order 55 dollars cheaper.

Most places charge a lot to ship bottles because of the volume of the packages, northernbrewer does not. If you aren't buying bottles, or if you are buying fermentables, another vendor might be a better deal. I'll bookmark love2brew and do order comparisons the next time I buy something for brewing online.

Thank you. I don't like buying bottles, but I wanted to have some easy to cap bottles for sparkling stuff. The 750ml Belgian bottles really require a bench capper, and the bombers will fit in my wine rack too.

Goodnight everyone, peace be with you and your kin.

You know Dan much to my wifes dismay I get bored rather easily. I do not work so I tinker doing other things like cutting trees down. I volunteered at the schools here for a long time until my kid got old enough that she did not want her old man around anymore. So I told a buddy I would drive his snowplow truck for free and I did until he insisted on paying me so I quit that. Now I am working on getting a LHBS opened up so I have something else to do. And if that was not enough I am looking for a home to buy and fix up in my spare time.

I really do not enjoy just sitting around much.

I want to live around people like you Varmitman. Seems the place to move to is HomeBrewTown. I hear, Passepawn is the town developer.

I am a member on that website and like to pop in and post weird things. Maybe I should ask them if I can catch any diseases from sleeping with a dead chicken. It was still alive when I fell asleep but stiff as a board by morning.

Well then my friend, that makes two of us.

No need to apologize for the music you love. The piece of music you posted is loved world round.

I personally loved it too but can't compete with these guys: (from Wikpedia).

The Adagio for Strings has been performed on many public occasions, especially during times of sadness. It was:
Broadcast over the radio at the announcement of Franklin D. Roosevelt's death;[18]
Broadcast over the TV at the announcement of John F. Kennedy's death
Played at the funeral of Albert Einstein;
Played at the funeral of Princess Grace of Monaco;[18]
Broadcast on BBC Radio to profound emotional effect several times after the announcement of the death of Princess Diana.
Performed at Last Night of the Proms in Royal Albert Hall to commemorate the victims of the September 11 attacks;[19]
Played during the opening ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics;[20]
Played at the state funeral of Canadian New Democratic Party Leader Jack Layton;[21]
Adagio for Strings is the final song on the 2010 Peter, Paul and Mary compilation album Peter Paul and Mary, With Symphony Orchestra. Mary Travers had requested that Adagio for Strings be played at her memorial service.[22]
The Adagio for Strings was one of John F. Kennedy's favorite pieces of music. Jackie Kennedy arranged a concert the Monday after his death with the National Symphony Orchestra and they played to an empty hall. The concert went out on radio. Barber knew about these memorial occasions. He did a radio interview about it with WQXR and said 'they always play that piece. I wish they'd play some of my other pieces.'[23]

Oops! My timing is off. I seem to post when all good people are sleeping. My schedule is a bit screwy.

I had a good friend of mine, I always helped him drink his wine...

Hmmm, I've woken up with my chicken stiff as a board too.


seriously, though I am sorry about your birds.

Oh man this weekend just keeps on getting better and better. I loaned my climbing spurs out a few years ago and forgot to get them back so I am making a set today. Got my harness ready and plenty of sharp saws so I am pretty much ready after I make the spurs :rockin:

 

[BobbiLynn]

I am house sitting this weekend and trying to steal some Internet but everyone has passwords set. Few guesses and no luck. So I walked across the street, the guy came out and I introduced myself. His name is RJ. I don't know what that stands for. So I just told him, hey, I'm house sitting for Laura over here and trying to steal some Internet, but everyone has passwords, could I get your password? He laughed then gave me his password and look, I am online now!!

Funny not really a good p/w is it . Lol

Hmmm, just make new ones? That's pretty awesome.

I wonder if RJ is married. Maybe I should have brushed my hair or something before walking over, or maybe he likes the wild look. He was really friendly. Kind of young, 30-ish maybe. He seemed impressed that I immediately said the password back to him since it was just a series of 8 random letters and numerals. He asked did I want him to text it to me, and I said no, I remember. And thank you. Really friendly guy and good looking. When I get a chance I'll ask my friend is he is an axe murderer just released on parole.

Yeah, funny, a smile was all it took.

 

[Stauffbier]

Since I live in the hood, going to someone's door and asking for a password could literally get you shot. haha..

I didn't even make it to the door before his dogs started raising hell, and I thought, maybe this is a bad idea. But then he came walking out and looked like maybe he had a brewer's beard. So now I'm borrowing his Internet and maybe I should at least bring him a beer later. Dogs permitting. Should be a fun weekend, I already met one nice neighbor. :cross:

 

[BobbiLynn]

I'm already getting tipsy, found the liquor cabinet, which was unlocked. Lots of stuff I never heard of so giving them all a try. Before the weekend is over, I might end up being the worst house sitter ever. The stuff labeled apple-mango wine in a pint jar tastes more like moonshine.

Him texting you the password would have given you his number! Doh!!!

I got my order from northernbrewer today.

I didn't know NB sold condoms. Oh wait, that's probably packets of yeast

 

[BobbiLynn]

What's happening and what are we talking about? I don't think that wine is wine. By now I am almost positive it's moonshine. I invited a couple friends over. The lady of the house, my best friend, Laura, just called and asked how things were going. I said I can't find the cat. She said that's okay and asked are the dogs inside and I said yep. I think I saw 2 of them but hard to tell since they are both black. She doesn't suspect anything is wrong.

Could be seeing double and 1 dog got out

Ahh didn't consider the shipping on the bottles. Does NB ship the bottles inexpensively? In my scenario the shipping from NB added $22 to my order whole the shipping from L2B was free.

I like these, American champagne bottles. They will take a cork or a crown cap. I got 10 cases of them on clearance from a local wine supplier a couple years ago. Unbelievably heavy, a single empty bottle weighs over a kilogram.

Sweet. Did we ever agree on what temperature to have the preheated sparge water system set for?

How does one make climbing spurs?

Compared to most other retailers, yes. Since I'm in Denver I'm about equal distance from both east and west coast suppliers. Usually shipping on 24 large bottles, either wine or bomber, would be 25-30$. Then the rest of the order would have separate shipping costs. Not something the retailers tell you, but you can figure it out by messing with the orders a little. NB shipped the whole order to me for 13.95.

It's interesting to me that L2B sent you an order with no shipping cost, and they wanted to charge me such a high one. I find that odd.

I like the champagne bottles. I wanted something with a crown, but that didn't require a bench capper. Do those need a bench capper, or is the spacing right for a lever action capper?

Howdy folks! I'm having a beverage whilst milling grain for tomorrow. There's nothing like the feeling of anticipation that comes the night before a brew day.

Love my ghetto Corona mill!

Is that Bosch drill a hammer drill? I've got a monster Bosch Hammer drill similar to that.

Yup, it sure is. I've burned out another one just like it, too. We beat them up at work pretty good.
