Loved this episode, I love the super borderline obsessive compulsive knowledge about homebrewing Dawson brings to the table. I really felt inspired to brew one soon. I've not had much luck with belgian brews...I've always enjoyed belgian beers but mine have always been meh.

Stick can be very beautiful too, allot of folks think stick just looks ugly because the process can be very difficult to learn. But here is a stick weld I did, this is 7018.

Stick welder wouldn't be a bad choice if your just trying to weld on the cheap. Only problem I see is it would be difficult to learn on thin material like tubing you would use for a brew stand (I used 16 gauge square tubing but I TIG'd my frame). The wonderful thing about stick (aka arc welding...

It's making me lol how little you know about welding, so please don't offer advice to people because you sound like you know what your talking about, but really have zero clue. A heat gun? Lol, tungsten inter gas? It's a TIG torch and its tungsten inert gas because you use an inert gas for...

You info is waaay incorrect, for one a mig CAN weld SS and alum, you just need the right gas mix for stainless and the SS wire obviously. And you need a spool gun for welding AL because the wire is too soft and gets kinked in the long lead, you also need the specific gas in this case 100% argon...

Yea, it was one of my best DIPA's for sure. I love the simple grain bill, let the hops shine.

The London ale doesn't seem to attenuate real well compared to cali ale, I'd mash lower IMO. And I use a big starter and pure O2.

Waaaay too high, I mashed at 149. DIPA are typically finished low to dry it out. With a big beer like this it will already finish a tad higher. I think mine finished at 1.014 with mashing at 149 so unless you want a 1.020 fg I would mash lower.

Fermcap s is your friend, a few drops and no volcano...I do full 2L starters with zero boil over.

Galaxy would be more tropical fruit flavor like citra which wouldn't be a bad thing, I say go for it.

Im notorious for this too, I always get impatient. But then I have to wait till the next day to pitch lol.

you!!

I just still believe in the idea that your property is just that, yours. Decent human beings want the things that they own and are proud of to be well taken care of and beautiful. I don't need Johnny law giving me a ticket for a RV being visible from the street behind a fence. If joe next door...

The parking in front of your house isn't your property it's public property. I think it's funny when people like to think that they own the street parking in front of their property. Code enforcement is complete bs IMO along with HOA's.

Hiking for fun, triathlons, kids, yard work just to name a few...
