I'm going to take a course at the new sports complex. I'm looking at harnesses and shoes right now so I don't have to keep renting them. I just looked at Bon Echo Park and there's over 100 climbs in that park, won't be outdoors until summer, all indoors this winter. Taps Are Sold, thanks...

It's because of new medications I'm on, severe reactions with alcohol already tried and almost ended up in the hospital. I'm looking into rock climbing, have a new facility here in town and I'm going to take some lessons.

Well the doctor says I can't drink ANY alcohol anymore so I've got to get rid of a few things. I've got 2 chrome taps (1 self closing), 2 shanks, and 2 handles that I've never used. The shank in the image with the green handle is 4 1/2" and the shank with the black handle is 3 1/2". The...

well my first attempt at using fresh orange peel seems to have gone wrong. I used a cheese grater to grate the zest and mad sure I had no pith. I put 1.5 oz in at 10 mins left in the boil. I tasted it when I transferred and it was ok a little bitter. We ll I tasted it when I bottled and it...

Why not just build a big ass press and squeeze the buggers.

I grew up in Toronto and we were overrun with them, I mean I used to fight them for my cereal in the mornings. Same with a few apartments I had. The best thing I found was boric acid along all baseboards. It takes fprever to get rid of them and if you're in a townhouse, your neighbors have...

I use tetnang in all my batches I really like it.

The problem is when the owner isn't there he's the only one. The do have some stuff in the fridge, but haven't seen it myself, the wife has. he's got 6-7 large copper pots for brewing. I'd say they're around 15g. I never see them used, his wine room is always filled though.
