First, the disclaimers: I'm not from NY I'm not a bagel snob I regularly make breakfast sandwiches with bagels. (Using whatever frozen brand it is that my dear wife picks up... I could get up and find the name, if I cared to walk the freezer, but I'm relaxing on the deck with a beer on a...

Negra Modelo is what I'll order in a Mexican restaurant. I'm not as fond of Especial. But that's me.

I was recently wondering how to run some kind of brush through a SS racking cane and the bore snake idea never came to mind. Good thought there!

I have no valuable advice to offer, but I do offer my encouragement to a brewing pioneer. And I really wish I could see metrics like "number of views" for a thread, because with the title of "compost bucket sour," I'm sure I'm not the only one who absolutely had to see what this was all about...

I see what you did there 👍

At least you know what you're dealing with. If it were my lawn, I'd just be complaining about all the "not grass" in my lawn. 😄

You, sir, have found yourself a keeper!

I haven't done it, myself... and I don't know how you'd do the calculations -- you'd probably have to wing it and just keep checking the gravity, but... At least one brewer I know has mashed and sparged with wort (instead of water) to create a big beer. I think it was a barley wine in this...

That's where I recognized that from!

I'm seriously considering an RO system lately. I've been trying to learn more about adjusting my water, and it just seems like building the water from scratch is a lot easier, especially for a few specific styles.
