I like this time at night on HBT

[Dan]

Cheers to you all! You know me , and have probably figured out I truly enjoy sharing stuff about me here. it"s generally mundane and boring so thanks for putting up with my rambles.

My cable TV channel guide plays mostly Hawaiian type music and what might be known as elevator music. I plugged some Bose bookshelf speakers into the back of the kitchen TV because my wife and I spend a lot of time there.

The music on that channel sometimes reminds me of the radio music my parents listened to when I was a teenager - "W Sweet, W Velvet" or something like that.

That channel could take the Beatles Revolution #9 and turn it into easy listening! I made fun of it back then, but now I'm actually older than my parents were when I was a teen and guess what? I like this elevator music. Not always. I'm still a rocker at heart.

The Hawaii music is pretty nice. I have no clue what they are saying half the time because it's in Hawaiian, but it sure is pretty.

I'm waiting for my move to New Orleans and I'm using my time to build myself a fermentation chamber...

AS my first batch of AG (BIAB) will be in NOLA and I will no longer have a natural gas stove... I'm thinking of ordering a burner and large pot... Does this combo seem fit?

Thoughts?

Sounds like you're using your time wisely. Time management!

10 hr day, 18 holes of "golf", and built the frame for my chamber... it's a good day in the books.


Good night HBT.

Sounds pretty good bb!

I was ever much into golf except at one point of my career. A work thing. Short lived. Fun as it was , I was in it for the beers and cigars.

Seems my wife is working late tonight. I'm now a house husband. Don't know exactly when she'll be home with traffic and all. She'll give me a call when she heads home which gives me 45-70 minutes. Cleaning day today do clearing out the freezer for dinner.

We're going to have a small fillet of salmon. I think I'll just sauté it in some butter and garlic, maybe some chopped green onions on top and a few squeezes of fresh lemon juice. Chopped green onions on top. There was some almost gone bok choi and

Been sprouts in the fridge. Probably steam the bok Choi, probably add garlic and the sprouts I'll sauté in butter and garlic. Also have some frozen edame, also known as soybeans in a pod. Steam and see salt for them. The rice pot has last nights rice in it. I'm going to put it in a bowl and hit it with the microwave. I'd make fresh rice but we're all out! I don't know how that happened. Lastly from the freezer there is some nice chicken breast strips. Again going to pop them in the microwave.


I like garlic, I like butter (always) and I love frozen food and a microwave in a pinch

 

[bob1852]

Glad to see you calling it bok choi, Dan! Lately I see it call pak choi.

(Then again, maybe it's too different things)

Regardless, it is good!!

 

[Dan]

Hey AZ,

Potatoe potato. Or something like that

There's another vegetable that as far as I know is tough to find in mainland. I talked to a grocer and he said it was considered an aggressive weed. I've always called it on-choi, the other day I was at an Asian market here in Hawaii and they called I ong-choi. I'm really not which if either spelling is correct.

Regardless, it's awesome and one hell of a bowl cleanser! Haha

 

[Dan]

Edit on my last post. AZ and I had the same conclusion which I didn't catch on the first read. -"regardless it's good!"

 

[lschiavo]

Yikes Ischiavo. I once got knocked off a latter and had a ceiling fan fall onto my 3 yo son while installing a fan. I wrongly thought id turned off all the power. Now I only play with 12v dc power in my camper van and even that scares me.

You just have to climb back on the horse with a little more respect and maybe a voltmeter

I got my baby back. I learned to play guitar on this old thing. Sold it 20 years ago and have been sick over it for 20 years. I was given an opportunity to buy it back and I did. Just got it back today from the guitar doctor where it received it's 4th refret job. This is a 1975 Les Paul Deluxe. The rear cavity was already routed out for a humbucker when I bought is back when I was 16 years old. The pickup that was in the bridge position was replaced for a Raw Vintage model 5760 as part of the work I had done to it. The neck is perfect and as fast as lightning on a gold plated rooftop. This is the guitar I used when I first started earning money as a musician. I sold it to a good friend when I was 21 who promised me he would offer to sell it back to me first if he ever decided to part with it. I never thought the day would ever come. But it did. And here it is.

I'm giddy as a kid in a candy shop. Just look at it!

Sweet guitar. My first was a '78 Gibson SG double neck. Think Jimmy Page. My grandmother gave it to me. She bought it for a deadbeat twelfth cousin of mine who was going to be a rock star. It is stamped "second" but the only flaw I ever noticed seems to be a filled hole near the bridge. It plays like a dream but it is a heavy beast. I'll post a pic sometime.

Good night HBT.

10 hours "work" = tired, 18 holes of "golf" = drunk. I hope that frame still meets standards tomorrow

Me and the bro roughed in the underground for that gas station for the last two days. Back to the grocery store wiring for the next two days then closing on wifeys new photo studio on Friday. Its really just a 70's ranch house that needs a bit of work, commercial zoned and has excellent exposure. She is so excited. I am very happy for her. She has definitely earned this. I have a lot of extra work coming up though

I bought this pot from amazon quite a while ago. It is a great deal for the money and has served me well

Do you think that will be sufficient over a propane burner? I also like the steam basket for multi-purposes (mostly for holding the brew bag).

 

[CGVT]

I use a propane jet burner with it. I have also used electric heat sticks. It is a pretty heavy duty aluminum pot and has been great for me, but you may be better off with the strainer if you BIAB. If you want to do real all-grain, however, this is a pretty good pot.





Disclaimer: I was just joking about the real all-grain. Lighten up BIABers.

 

[bberg]

Yea. Biab is a good half step for me. I don't have a garage for a little bit so I feel like it's enough improvement.

Do you have a false bottom?

 

[CGVT]

No, no false bottom. I mash in an Igloo cooler and have a false bottom in it, but I boil in the aluminum pot. I built a couple of 110 heatsticks to save on propane and it works well. I have a couple of keggles but use the 40 qt pot most often because I know it best. Eventually I want to go 220v electric with the keggles.

 

[BBL_Brewer]

As if I don't have enough things to worry about, apparently now my carboy is trying to kill me.

So on that note I give you..........Broken Glass

 

[Dan]

Bbl.

 

[Dan]

BBL, happy you survived your carboy. What happened if you don't mind telling?

 

[Dan]

Wow! I'm pretty thick. I thought I was using the latest mobile version of HBT but just stumbled onto the cross between the traditional view and the basic mobile app I've been using. The in between seems to be the best of both for a phone. Cheers TX and crew!

Dan, I think he's referring to the new article on broken carboys!

[Dan]

Sorry to keep posting but this view is so awesome on a phone. The Web view. I tried it before but was a little like trying to view HBT in miniature. The page looked just like it does on a laptop but everything was tiny. This view is great! Double cheers to TX and crew.

I use that exact pot for my BIAB and it works great over a propane burner. I don't wish I had a basket at all but with a BIG beer you start pushing the volume limits for BIAB in this pot so if you plan to do BIAB in it and you love brewing big beers then look at getting a 15 gallon. Overall I like the pot a lot.

Ah yes, good thread. I read it shortly after I broke my first carboy and stuck with buckets after escaping injury.

What if you had a keggle available?

How'd you break a carboy?

Cleaning it. A few years back. My own fault. They don't like being shook out to get the dry hops out and getting an inadvertent tap at the mouth from a toilet. - insert embarrassed icon here

So you hit your mouth on the toilet while shaking a carboy and dropped it? Or someone threw the toilet that hit you in the mouth causing you to drop the carboy. Well, I don't quite get it but I would not use carboys either if I had been through something like that

 

[lschiavo]

Three day weekend starts tonight. Lots to do though. There won't be much relaxing. Moving the wife to her new studio and lots of yard work both there and at home. I haven't even planted my garden yet. The deck planters are going to have to wait until next year I think.

 

[Dogfishfire]

Breaking carboys. No bueno! Bourbon and ipa's and gose's......and wild turkey..bueno!
