Im an Ex Captain in the Smithtown FD ( Long Island NY) Engine 4. We do about 3600 calls a year fire and EMS.

I added lemon zest to my most recent brew. I added the zest of 3 lemons to it with 5 min to the end of the boil. I find the flavor comes through a little bitter in the end. I think maybe zest in secondary may provide a fresher flavor. But I have yet to do that. I would be interested to see if...

Enjoying my version of a Sam Adams Summer Ale clone

Northern brewer Breakwater Pale Ale. It doesn't say IPA but in the description it says a more aggressive version of the chinook IPA. it was good...

Regarding the application of any heat to the tank. There is a big difference between the the heat from the sun and fire impingement. Either way, no need to heat anything. I remember reading somewhere about cleaning scuba tanks and it was with simple green and warm water. Just be certain that the...

Same thing happened with my Irish stout a few months ago. I only had an air lock in at the time. So the lit flipped in the air. I had krousen on my walls and ceiling and shandeler. I foud after that, if you wrap a large towel around the lid and let it drap over the sides it will keep the krousen...

Thanks for the info. I don't know what's worse, the fact that I was misinformed or that I, in turn, have been misinforming people for years now.

Hey guys, Don here from smithtown. You could name your brew from sandy, "Blow Hard Saison" Just remember co is heavier than air, and will stay in the basement if left undisturbed.

I named my dry Irish stout "Theresa's Fury". Because that's what I had to endure after 2 boil overs in the kitchen and then the next morning we awoke to the lid exploding of the fermentation bucket that was on my kitchen table. There was krousen everywhere, even on the ceiling.

Is even funnier while Tosh.0 is making fun of him. "I just hope the choreography is better when they do this song on Glee" D Tosh

I think hydro is done every 5 years for an aluminum tank. Longer for steal with a star stamped next to the date. one of the nice things about exchanges is that you don't need to worry about that.

Just finished half a growler of Spider Bite brewery Eye Be Use IIPA. Man it was strong but very good.

I just finished my first keg today. Took me totally by surprise. I thought I had at least a growlers worth in there. I guess I underestimated my beer consumption. But at least the keg is now empty for my stout.

I just finished a keg of APA that I dry hoped with Citra ( .5oz in 5 gal). The citrus aroma and flavor was great. I'm pretty sure I used chinook for bittering and flavoring in the boil.

When I was getting beer on the month club deliveries, it came ups. Each bottle had a cardboard package and six bottles fit into a box tightly. I would assume ups knew that it was beer because they would have picked it up from the beer club or the brewer. Also, my mother gets wine delivered ups...

Here is a side by side photo of the co2 vs o2 valve. Notice one and a flat face which is where you place the washer, that's co2 The o2 has a indent. I'll call it concave. The regulator has a convex piece that connects, o washer or tape needed. Also notice, one has threads that are finer and...

It actualy looks like an AL80 scuba cylender. besides the size and shape, the givaway is that white equipment inspection sicker and that rubber boot on it, scuba cylinders require a yearly visual inspection by a dive shop, where as all other gas cylinders don't. I think that other narrow white...

If you look on the neck of the tank for the working pressure. A SCUBA tank is rated for 3000 psi and from what I've seen of my co2tamk is that it's rated for 1800psi. Also the valve would be very different. A co2 tank has threads on the outside diameter. A SCUBA tank has what's called a yoke...
