I also picked up a tubing cutter to shorten the dip tube in my kegmentor.
I'm (obviously) not a competitive brewer so I'm curious about what use these have.
Would you be willing to post your Moose Drool recipe?
Banding the brewer identity to the bottle.
Thank you, very much.
. The bourgeois wife will snort and scoff at my " Love for unwanted cast off trash".. Scoff away madame ! It is Precious to me ! It will sit with honor on my kegerator ! Along with the other cast away trash !!!
Found this little beauty on a beer glass treasure hunt at the local Salvation Army store. Authentic made in Germany, not a Japan knock off. I love my little beer glass raids
Now I have way too much glassware. I have a cabinet I built for the barware, and it's perched on top of my beer fridge. It was so full I couldn't reach stuff in the back.
Now that is SWEET ! I've just over the last few years started finding beer glasses after I had stopped for many years. Many moons ago, I was in the Army stationed in Germany and I had a field day collecting beer mugs and steins from all over Germany, Austria and even 2or 3 from France. Unfortunately for me, when my personal goods were shipped by the Army to my next duty station, every single glass was shattered, including my stereo cabinet glass, tv screen , my curio cabinet glass. Everything that had glass was shattered. 2 years of exploring many cities and towns for beer mugs up in smoke ! So I guess the shock and awe of having my collection unceremoniously destroyed by some crappy moving company knocked the wind out of my beer mug collection desires. That and I'm getting on in years. But now and again, I get the fire burning and just can't help going into a knick knack shop with my reader searching for that elusive cast away authentic European beer mug.Nice find!
I've scoured a few too many thrift stores and garage sales. I can't help myself.
Yesterday I sorted out some of the excess and packed them away (not tossing any away...yet).
The cabinet is more manageable now.

I've got one of those Samuel Smith glassed, a longtime fav. Also a Guinness like it. Recently acquired, it was my step-dad's.Nice find!

Very nice ! I was there in the 80's too. Schweinfurt mostly , 3rd ID medic and Wurzburg Army hospital. Made it to Nuremberg a few times, raising Cane at Monsters of Rock and Club Jacko lantern, getting chased by local gestapo and German shepherds the size of ponys' through the bahnhof...a thousand years ago.Damn, that's heartbreaking. Uncle Sam's lowest-bidding movers. If you're ever in Minneapolis, look me up. I'll give you some of my excess glass.
I did score some snazzy Czech Budweiser stem glasses when I was in Germany in the '80s. In a bar in Nurnberg, and after having a few pilsners, I asked the bartender if he'd sell me a few. Gave him 20DM (about $5), and he handed me a carton of 4 new glasses. Then he pocketed the money.
They all survived the trip home, but not the years since. I still have 2 left.

My "trophy" Bierstein, I bought at a shop in Munich. Think I paid around DM200. I wrapped it in t-shirts and took it home carry-on. I didn't trust the mail.

I read that as "Schweinfurz" initially. I almost sorted beer through my nose!
Looks like it's time to get another one!
This is smart.
But I did brew my Fantastic Haze neipa clone today, and aside from missing the OG by a point it went great, capped by perhaps the best kettle lautering experience with my Hop Blocker V2 to date.
Been there done that my friend. My left knee replacement was the worse pain of my life and I've been putting off replacing the right for 3 years. Wouldn't wish that on anyone. Good luck
LOL, yeah it’s not like a bad carboy incident or serious encounter with boiling wort. Have any idea which finger is cut? Should I show you?A martyr to the cause!
If was me I would have already showed it to the pipe cutterLOL, yeah it’s not like a bad carboy incident or serious encounter with boiling wort. Have any idea which finger is cut? Should I show you?
It’s the pipe cutters fault! While I was reaming the cut end the blade folded (because it is really too big for that tube) and something got me. Probably the jagged cut end. It’s not operator error!
