Yes...and to think someone made millions (billions?) off the term 'passive-aggressive. My yawner is anything with the word 'pumkin' in it...especially sleepy when it is spelled like this. I guess that bug hasn't bit me yet.

Training wheels. It's where I started years (and years) ago as a meat hunter. I am mightily impressed by guys that consistently kill game with recurve/long bows -- especially ones that do it from the ground. I appreciate the other HBS options mentioned in/around Portland. Might save me some...

I might be mistaken but that looks like the linen closet. A No-go with SWMBO but she saw the picture and has agreed in principle...that's a Win! Now to find those tubs on Amazon...

Welcome. I'll be down in your neck of the woods in about 90 days (brew bros) to stock up.If you're also a flinger of arrows we should find the time to cut some paper.

Leftover 'party beer ' ie that which did not originate on the premises typically goes into beer batter for fish /pickles or into the pico de guillo ...

Not sure of your budget. This link is to the GW beer recipe. http://www.bonappetit.com/drinks/beer/article/george-washington-s-handwritten-beer-recipe Maybe something with part of this wood -burned on it....custom small cask?

Not a fan of the light lager styleand wont buy anyone 's, but in south Texas we did see some limited distribution of Bud American Ale. That's as good as any $12/6-pack craft beer on the market, and at half the price and true pop top bottles to reuse, a nice bonus from the onetime King of Beers.

I'm about a quarter of the way into 'Ambitious Brew: the story of American beer' by Maureen ogle. I think you have to beer a history lover first and beer brewer second to appreciate it. She has really taken some left turns and departed on some strange tangents as she weaves a pretty interesting...

Shiner 102 double wheat. The nose just kept reminding me of a dishwasher that had been opened while still early in the dry cycle.

Looks like it is coming along on its own time! The watched fermenter never bubbles eh? I was finally able to get at my brew log notes - it was 3 lbs of local honey for a 1.75 gallon batch. It fermented at room temp (DEC/JAN in TX) for 45 days and finished at .997 (Fleishmans Bread Yeast). For...

I'm giving Yeast another chance. After slogging thru chapter 2 for two months Ive managed to just about finish it in the past five days or so.

I like Flying Dog's Doggie Style Classic. Super finish like SNPA, but different backbone.

I guess they're trying to catch the social media train. I am enjoying playing around on it now with the new look and their active management of the site's functionality and relevancy. However, BS2 will probably eventually force me to choose where I spend time with brew data.

Two that are so bad but I just can't help myself: 'Warlock' - Julian Sands, Lori Petty and Richard E. Grant. Cheesy effects and British accents. 'Corvette Summer' - just a train wreck and you have to watch...

Army tanker. '86 to now. Currently in the 'stan. One way or another my last deployment.
