We are inching closer to finishing out the splits on our group buy. For those not in on any splits please take a look to see if you can help close out the splits.

Yeah. There was only one entrance so it about 45 min to get in. They oversold the tickets and ran out of glasses for everyone, so they started giving everyone plastic solo cups instead. The layout was terrible. You couldn't get past the beer lines, as they were blocking the walking paths. There was only 18 porta-johns for roughly 6000 people, so it took about 25 min go to the bathroom. And worst of all... they pretty much ran out beer by 4:00 due to the overselling. Oh, and they were still charging $30 to get in even though there was no more beer.

I didn't set the DVR for the UofM game and only got to watch the Wisc v Neb game (didn't realize the Mich was being replayed at the same time). Yup, Neb certainly didn't cover....that was a whoopin'. Glad to hear Mich looked good though. I was trying to find SportsCenter highlights last night and never saw one. Almost like they didn't think it was a worthy beat down of Minn. Either way, Michigan wins. OSU loses. GO BLUE!

I believe this defines "poor execution" for an event.

Anyone know a good exterminator in southern Nashville? I've got moles tearing up the front yard and black widows in my crawl space.

I have a guy I use here in Hendersonville, I will see what area he covers.

Yeh I didnt watch live either but I did set the DVR. F in Nebraska. I thought they were better than that. Owell it'll be easier to beat em. I think Wisconsin might be the real deal glad we don't play em. Heh heh.

It's good to finally see something positive for Michigan to rally around. That was an intense weekend. Hey let's not forget that UofM is now #12 in the AP!

Look up using nematodes to help get rid of them. They kill the underground bugs that the moles are after.

I have a coworker that used to be an exterminator, and he advised to check the vapor barrier to make sure it is sealing well. Black widows generally prefer dark damp areas.

Yeah, anything that says it will kill grubs in your lawn should get the moles to move to your neighbor's yard. Make sure that you treat both your front and back yards.

I have intense arachnophobia. I am not going anywhere near the crawl space until the exterminator has sprayed and/or bombed it...

Just met with a guy from Arrow Exterminators. Signed a bunch of paperwork and paid for the service, but I have to set up a separate meeting with the sprayers and the mole guys. He couldn't find any live black widows in the crawl space but he did find egg sacs.
The one I spotted last night is hanging upside down beneath the garage stairs, with an egg sac, right by the keg fridge. Daring me to take a pint...

Found this post from last year from Rebel. Pisses me off even more that Tom B!tched about me getting a 12 oz glass out of the Kegerator at the shop after knowing he was useing this monster. Specially since I spent about $75 on that visit, about $350 a month sooner, and the rest of you spent another $400-$500 probably.The stand is VERY sturdy. I would have no worries climbing up the center post to look in the HLT. For what it is, it is compact and very easy to move. Blichmann over-engineered another one and I am so glad for it.
The Toughest job will be finding people to drink all the damn beer we're brewing

Does anybody have a sack of Pilsen that they would be willing to sell? The a guy who didn't get his order in on time for this current buy is looking for some pilsen malt.
whatsup guys. figured i'd introduce myself in this thread. I'm Stephen from Memphis. new brewer. 10 extract/specialty grain batches under my belt, plus EdWort's Apfelwein. Helped with about 6 or 7 all grains, and have been slowly but surely gathering/building all my all grain stuff. Finishing out my mash tun this week, and going to be doing my first all grain sunday.

What are you planning on brewing on Sunday?
+1 on that...Maybe even a couple good thermometers!
That's certainly nice of you to ask everyone for me
Kidding, but seriously, I'm needing to pick up a few as well, if someone has or knows of a stash of them.I've got 2 instant read digital thermometers (will calibrate this evening), the POS thermometer that came with the turkey fryer, and a Blichmann Brewmometer (I already calibrated) that I installed on my kettle.
I'm still trying to decide between Yoopers pale ale, EdWorts haus pale ale, and a basic nut brown. I'm leaning towards Yoopers, but I'm open to suggestions. Any ideas for an "entry level" all grain? One that won't show many mistakes? I am a big nut brown fan. My first batch lasted a week (minus the 6 pack I hid from myself). Everyone that tried it loved it. I've got another that I'm going to bottle in the next week or 2, and I've got a holiday spiced nut brown that I brewed 2 weeks ago.

Anything "hoppy" will cover a lot of mistakes. I wouldn't really sweat the recipe based on it being hard, it's all just grains and hops. What do you have for ingredients?
_

Haven't gotten any ingredients for this beer yet.
I've got a pound of Simcoe, half pound of cascade, and a half pound of willamette tho

Absolutely correct. Just grains and hops. Depending on your inventory, maybe start with a pale and then work to a darker beer so you could re-use the yeast cake--either by racking your next batch into the same bucket, or by washing your yeast.
I've made Ed's Haus pale. It took a couple weeks for flavors to come together, but when they did, it turned out to be a nice pale. Thought about making Yooper's as well, but haven't yet. Can't go wrong with either one though.

You could make a nice apa/ipa with the simcoe and cascade.

yea, the cascade is what led me in the direction of EdWorts Haus Pale Ale.
just went to the LHBS to pick up the last few pieces of the puzzle (mash paddle, an extra hydrometer, the grain, and a few other odds and ends) and they were closed. Hoping its not a permanent close. All the stuff is still in there, but the lights weren't on. called, and the message didn't say anything about it being closed. Oh well, guess I'll just have another day to figure out what recipe i want to go with.

If you are talking about MidSouth Malts, it is run by one guy and he comes and goes with no regards for customer convenience. It is his shop and his hobby, he can do as he pleases.

Let me ASAP if you want some Amarillo leaf hops. The price is going to be around 20 a pound.

Sorry, I usually go to Nashvegas when I go to the big city. I know Smokey Mountain brewery is there somewhere, I just went to the one in Gatlinburg last weekend, they had some decent beers.
It's actually in Turkey Creek which is right off 40 as you get into Knoxville, real easy to get to.

Sorry Steveo, I head to Nashville as well when I am on a beer adventure. I will talk with a couple friends who live down there and get their drunken suggestions. They'll be blitzed by 9a But if I get a response from them, I'll leave a post here for you, if you can check it on your phone.

Hey Steveo, check out Downtown Grill and Brewery, Bearden Beer Market (I've knew of this one and just forgot), and Aubrey's. My buddy knows a damn good beer when he sees one, so you can't go wrong with these places.
