Thanks. The banana means more than you think. It's a common term among Kramer guitar players, as one of their headstock styles is the "banana head". I'm a beak head guy myself, but it's all good! Hope is well in your house and home, I know you have a world of stuff to deal with. :mug:

Wait, what? I got a reminder that I have not been around in a while. Good to see you back Dan! And hope everyone else is well. Crazy busy building, fixing, and posting about my guitar amps. Brewing even halted but I made my best ever. Liquid Hobby IPA. I had Amber in the primary for 4 weeks...

bobbilynn you are not eccentric, or that crazy lady. The world needs more of your resourcefulness. We all pray for your strength and for your husband to return strong. Thinking of that, a selfish turn that might inspire others. It's about the strength of relationships and saving hopeless stuff...

4,202 Brewed and bottled last night. 3 hours with a couple long breaks in there. Bottling went great. Forgot to strain my wort into the fermenter though. It will probably be OK though. It was a kit with LME and DME plus Cascade. No grains. bobbilyn, call it the Black Knight, from the Holy...

Looking forward to THAT bobbilynn. I'm a big fan of resurrecting old stuff.

No numbers, remember Cygnus contains a black hole (Hawkings lost a bet on this...). So they are all infinity. Great film. I just thought it was stupid at first, but the years have been kind to it. :mug:

Hoo?

I need to pay attention and stop joking around. How much is a packet of yeast? Cuz my LBHS just raised the price of their kits across the board $4.00 each. I'm just using kits for now because I'm a beginner. Getting the "process" down is what's important to me right now. I'm paying $33 dollars...

Here come the yeast cell counters...I don't see how they do it without losing count. I give up after a couple of million.

I should have waited just a few days longer. The beer tastes fantastic, carbonated just right. Demonstrates the two things we always hear about...patience, and it's hard to screw up beer. Thanks all! :D

Huh, speaking of that history teacher we used to prank with Monty Python skits. He was so square! But one thing he did to turn the tables was let the class take off on conversations and ideas. Then he would stop the class and make us go backwards through whatever the last comment was. Like, how...

Yup, good memories.

I'm on the same page. I can enjoy the music, just the forced vocals leave me cold. I guess it was the same with early metal when Dad used to say "They are good, but all that screaming is awful". That was when I was listening to a lot of Judas Priest, Maiden...etc. Which I still do.

Will do RM. I need the bottles anyway. :D

Welcome aboard! I'm using kits to establish my own learning curve. More about the process and getting that part down before attempting more complicated recipes. I'd recommend getting a kit and getting going, then enjoy those as you move forward. The hardest part is waiting for that first batch...

Tradition goes on. Try singing these out loud at work. I do! http://youtu.be/ttMb_U966ZQ

We used to do that one, and the entire skits for "Buy an Argument" and "The Dead Parrot" walking into 11th grade history class. Best part is we had a relatively new student, a Brit! Fun times!

Happy Birthday! Popped the cap on the first bottle today. :) It's not a disaster. I had a major incident when I transferred into the bottling bucket. Kept losing siphon so much that I ended up POURING it in through a metal coffee strainer. I thought I was done for at that point. No worries...
