I like this time at night on HBT

I gotta say I feel you, Dan.

Great place, great people.

I know that melancholy feeling though. Sometimes it feels as if life is passing me by (or is it bye? Ha!) There is so much that I would like to do and so little time, so rew resources, so many obligations...

When we were young there was alway tomorrow, always that next duty station, but as you get older those "nexts" seem to harder to find.

But *********, Carl Perkins Cadillac...

Howdy friends.

Well, I used the last of my 2 Row for an IPA today. I made it an experimental batch by doing only post boil hop additions. I can't wait to see how it comes out.

I always multi task when I brew. Today I was doing laundry while brewing. I walked in the room to discover a puddle of water coming from under the washer. Since money is tight, I refuse to hire a repair man. You know what they say! Necessity is the mother of invention. Thanks to a little ambition and youtube I am now a washing machine repair man!! I found the leak, removed the faulty part, and now I just have to see if I can track down a replacement on the cheap this week. Good thing I got the tighty whities washed first!!

Top of the evening to you Late Night Crew.

 

[LabRatBrewer]

Howdy BBL, good song.

Got home early enough to sand and stain the shelf I am building for my drip tray. Small things make me happy.

Nice offer. I use those little brush things.

Why would anyone want caps on their taps? Honestly, what are the advantages?
Don't get me wrong, I see the hilarity in handing someone a glass and waiting for the beer to cover them, the walls and the ceiling but...

but...

Keeping Fruit flies, mold, dirt, dust, etc and all that goes along with that out of the ends of your taps.

My keezer is outside by the pool.

 

[brewingmeister]

Wherever it is why would I want to trap the drips inside?

Keep bugs out of taps. Bugs bad.

Pool by the beer side keg....sounds pretty sweet PP, bugs or not! : )

- Off on a tangent as I usually am .

There are five senses if I remember correctly.

Sight - eyes

Sound - ears

Touch- skin

Taste - tongue

Smell - nose

The last two; taste and smell .. I can't help but believe the two are inseparable. Without one there wouldn't be the other - makes them one to me.

If I had to lose one sense it would be Sight .

Why?

- #1 Hearing. Even if I've lost some it is still the most important . I can not imagine life without sound. I might not be able to name or classify every piece of music written, but do love in my heart and soul the wondrous sound of music.

- #2 , Taste and Smell. I think they are defined as two different senses. But to me one. They can't part.

- #3, Touch. The warmth of another person.


That's just me.

Cheers!

I still don't get it. It just seems like caps would make and breed funk unless the tap and cap get sprayed out with star San or something. And what kind of bug infestation do you have going on that you need caps? I had a rator outside in FL and didn't do anything special to it.

I know without doubt I didn't need caps on my faucets. But they looked pretty cool. That's about it. I got them because I figured they would keep sawdust (kegerator was in the garage) from getting in the faucets. Truth is before I got the covers, I don't ever remember sawdust intruding on my beer.

 

[Dan]

In addition , before my phone dies. With or without cap's, I ways kept my faucets clean. That's probably more important than caps.

Cheers!

And to use an Ischiavoism - Over and Out! : )

I have my Keezer in my basement, I don't have a garage and live in a very humid area especially in the summer. If I didn't cap them I'd be drinking black mold all summer. It's just like a cork or swing top for your taps - they cost $.50 a piece btw.

I just recently switched from caps to the little brush-caps. I soak the caps in starsan. Currently, I have a keg of carbonated water (to mix with caffeinated crystal light), and an APA. I didn't clean the lines between kegs as I normally do. I noticed the brush smelled horrible after a day. I cleaned the line and faucet and brush. I wonder though if the bristles are trapping moisture?

Check out these crazy arabs. I think it's Morocco, but still pretty cool. For your late nite over-the-hump soundtrack, MIA. Dan, you can probably figure out the lyrics here

I was just thinking of MIA today. I like this song as a catchy song. I hate the meaning of the lyrics. I was thinking of it after the MH-17 flight.

Yes, I LOVE that.

I like first minute of Double Trouble. This remix removes some of the crap after that. And adds an interesting picture

I'm hooked on a Scottish soap opera. A BBC show that Plays on Netflix.

Hear those words in your head with a strong Scottish accent.


"Monarch of the Glen".

If it's not Scottish it's crap
