I like this time at night on HBT

Dylan wrote it and sung Tambourine Man in 1964 and released it in 1965.

Dylan sings the song in four verses, of which The Byrds used only the second for their recording. Dylan's and The Byrds' versions have appeared on various lists ranking the greatest songs of all time...
The Byrds' recording of the song was influential in initiating the musical subgenre of folk rock, leading many contemporary bands to mimic its fusion of jangly guitars and intellectual lyrics in the wake of the single's success - Wikipedia

The Byrds did the song well.

I'm good thanks Dan. A little drunk on homemade wine and BS'ing with my daughter.

How are you doing my friend?

Good, Mike.. being a little deep I am. I get dramatic sometimes.

 

[Stauffbier]

Dan, you're not dramatic brother. You're just human like the rest of us, and a very down to earth person. The world could use a few million more people like you in place of the
narcissistic, shallow, greedy, self absorbed types that seem to dominate these days.

Cheers to you Dan!

You're too kind Mike. I actually went back and did a bit of editing. I share to much sometimes.

So many mornings I look at this forum and wonder what the hell I was thinking when I posted "that" at 1am.

Me to. Generally I'll let my post stand anyway. I think I've only gone back and edited twice because I let my mouth run to much.

 

[Stauffbier]

I'm pretty sure most of us are guilty of doing it. Especially when drinking our homebrewed truth serum. I don't think I've ever gone back and deleted or edited any posts, but I really don't remember.

Yes, silicone is extremely safe, and generally the material of choice (along with stainless steel) for industries such as pharmaceutical, medical, dairy, and, of course, brewing. But regular silicone tubing can't handle the pressure from household plumbing (though a typical brewery pump like a March 809 or Chugger pump is fine). If you're careful enough to make sure the path of the water is unimpeded at all times (ie you don't let pressure build up inside it and burst like a balloon), you can get away with it.

If it's just tap water, though, braided vinyl should cost about the same as the (unbraided) silicone tubing, and is also safe under such conditions. I'd recommend going with the braided vinyl rather than chancing it with remembering to keep all the necessary valves open every single time... ESPECIALLY if it's only going to be from the cold water supply.

Stick with silicone for liquid that is very hot, or that is acidic (like wort/beer) though, especially when it's hot.

If you let me know specifically what you'll be running through each hose you'll need, and the temp range you expect (particularly the upper end of that range), I can give you much more specific recommendations.

I hear you, though... $7/foot definitely isn't cheap. Anybody that wants to incorporate braided silicone (Silbraid) into their brewery really needs to plan things out to maximize efficiency, minimize the necessary length of Silbraid tubing as much as possible, and use unbraided hose wherever possible. Many home breweries can easily use more than 50 (even 100+) feet of hose, so not putting some thought into how your hoses are set up and constructed can cost people a small fortune.

Thanks for the info. I have 20' so far just to get started. Replacing the RV hose to the shop is going to hurt...that's 50' maybe 40psi and never over 65* unless it bakes in the sun during our two months of summer.

There is a way to look at all of your "liked" posts. I intentionally forgot how to do that.

 

[lschiavo]

Even better than cream cheese frosting:

-planning the deer hunt with your 8 yo son.
-having a few beers after a long but profitable day at work.
- bs'ing with friends on HBT.
- my daughter's tuition bill...if I didn't have to pay it.

 

[lschiavo]

Right after planning the deer hunt should be UPS packages containing parts for the brewery upgrade. The stout tank 40 gallon MLT is being built as we type. The 42 gallon conical will be ordered soon. I can get an upright freezer or build an AC cold room to house it. What would you guys do?

At the end of the list should be worn out underwear with loose waistbands. I'm throwing these out when I'm done with them in a few days.

The boy has started Scouting.

I'm completely lost. His scout leader approached me and said that since he's the only Webelos in the Den that he'd appreciate if I could go through his handbook and help by signing him off on stuff. No problem I thought. That book is a maze of confusion to me. I don't know where to go or what to do. My son's going to end up with the most out of order scouting experience this year I have a feeling.

At least you're doing it. I didn't do scouts with my boys. It's a minor regret of mine. Consequently, my boys have no idea how to camp or do any outdoors type of stuff. We kept them busy with organized sports (baseball, soccer).

 

[snaps10]

I always wanted to be in BSA when I was a kid.

I wish I could keep him interested in sports long enough to finish out a season and want to go back the next year. He's done half way through the season. Put a video game in front of him and he'll play non-stop for a year though. Drives me insane. He does love the outdoors, and takes well to it. I was surprised to find that actual outdoorsy stuff is only about 25-30% of the book.

 

[Stauffbier]

Yeah, I'd throw the underwear out too!

Sounds just like my kids. I guess the video games are ok as long as they balance it out with other things. My boys love playing outside but they don't spend nearly as much time outdoors as I did as a kid. I agree with being surprised with the handbook activities (scrapbooking?). I was den leader for my son's first year and was a bit confused too. We got through it although with only about a third of the kids we started with.

Yeah, I'd throw the underwear out too!

It is a difficult thing to commit to. Thanks for the support

Wow, this week at school will not let up. I've got a bunch of kids doing make-ups so I am heading in early and staying late and occupying my lunch hour with non-lunch activities. I was hoping to pull off a brew tonight but it isn't going to happen. I'm hoping SWMBO will leave me at home for a while this weekend so I can have a nice relaxed brew day. We're finally getting fall weather and smelling boiling wort and hops will be pretty nice.

 

[Stauffbier]

TC, I hope you get a chance to slow down and brew this weekend..

Saturday I'll be brewing for the first time in about 3 months. I'm making a dopplebock. My first real attempt at a lager...

Good luck. Fall brewing is the best. I need to brew some cream ale, but have to bottle a batch and clean the heck out of the fermenter first.

The peppered pumpkin beer is nice. It is a deep orange color. The pumpkin pie spices are silent, I went very light, the peppers bring a little subtle heat. Its like a orange colored low hop peppered apa.

No, you must have graham crackers if no cake is involved. Psst, everybody knows that.

Oh, I don't know I think most scout programs are pretty horribly organized. It's been a long time, but If I remember right, most of the book is broken into modules. With very few of the modules being interdependent. I seem to remember thinking that the point seemed more to tailor the lessons to the interests of the group so the kids would actually show up for the meetings.

That is indeed interesting, I'm a little tired tonight so it might be a little bit before I get through it.

I got my brewing supplies order, so I'll be making BB's cream soda either tonight or tomorrow. Hey BB, is neutral spirits or rum vanilla extract better in that recipe?

IIRC he said he used the rum version, which is what I used. It's only been carbing up for a week, but we've still been drinking it. It's super delicious! It mixes with bourbon very nicely, too!
