I no longer have an Office 360 subscription with Excel. I now have Office Suite which has basically the same programs (word, sheets, etc.) but now the cells in Bru'n Water won't update when changing data. Any advice on how to make this work is appreciated!

I have a 14.8 Cubic foot keezer, temp controlled at 38 F. Sits in the garage and with this humidity lately it's soaking wet inside. Water literally drips from the lid. I found this compact dehumidifier that is rated down to 31 F. I know all dehumidifiers exhaust a small amount of heat. I'm...

I'm getting mixed communication. Has White Labs and Omega re-started production? Looking forward to liquid yeast availability again..

Compressor shot. Not worth replacing compressor. Due to the masses stockpiling dead roadkill for their perceived apocalypse, there is a 30 day wait for a replacement chest freezer. ***rant over***

I’ve decided to expand into cider in 2020. First batch – KISS. Here’s my plan and all advice comments really appreciated. Thanks to @phug for his/her “everyday simplest dry cider” recipe. Plan on fermenting in a keg with a blowoff on the gas ballock to starsan. Gravity samples taken with a...

Does anyone else have a severe orzo phobia? The Queen made orzo chicken soup today. I can't get near it. This pasta looks like maggots. There's probably some therapy for this......

I've spent the last several frustrating hours shopping for hops to no avail. Looking to see if others have recommendations and where to buy. I've looked at Farmhouse Brewing Supply, Hops Direct, and others who cater to breweries; not home brewers. No luck. In a nutshell: Looking for - earthy...

I like them ! Enjoyed with a group of friends and fellow brewers. But I find them hit and miss. Some are horrendous. Clearly, the flunky that does the tour drew the short straw and reluctantly, and in monotone, describes the “brewing process” in a manner like how the post office sorts mail. At...

OK.. I'm an admitted junkie. Not the "Jingle Bell Rock" crap. But the Choral Classics. One of my favorite songs is the Wexford Carol. One of the oldest, most hauntingly beautiful lyrics. I googled the song and came across these talented little sh!ts who's soloist is singing in Gaelic. Incredibly...

Never made one. Found a nice simple recipe with orange peel and cinnamon. 89% 2 row (20 lbs.) 6.6% Crystal 60 (1.5 lbs.) 4.4% Chocolate malt (1 lb.) 10.80 G. batch. Boil 5 min: 2.5 oz. orange peel 0.50 oz. cinnamon stick Two questions: Any recommended changes? Not sure about the chocolate malt...

I replaced my crapped out mill with this one. Seems to be a finnicky setup. I'm using a gear motor with pulleys in parity. 164RPM and 60 in-lb. At first the mill just locked up, but didn't stall the motor. Then I played with the gap a bit. Have it set at 48. Now the mill spins but doesn't feed...

(tactical) def: relating to or constituting actions carefully planned to gain a specific military end. Why are there so many advertisements on TV for an overpriced "tactical" flashlight? What makes a flashlight "tactical"? How does one flashlight present a military "edge" over another...

I'm looking for a good beer to pair with homemade Schnitzengruben. All advice welcome, except if you recommend a brown ale I will track you down, make you drink New Castle and let you drown in your own vomit...……..

Long time user. Normally within a couple points. But last several brews I'm way off. Simple pale ale recipe: 11 lbs Rahr 2 row (adjusted to 5L pr BW notes) 4 lbs Bonlander Munich 10L (12.8SRM) 4 lbs White Wheat Malt 3L (3.3 SRM) 12 oz. Caramunich III 57L (76 SRM) On the water adjustment tab, I...

I talked with Russ and discussed various setup options. Got the perfect setup for me. Installation took about 20-30 minutes with a sharkbite tee valve. Reasonable price. Can't believe I waited this long to get an RO system. No more jug-lugging!

While playing with my grandson and his construction toys, I was thinking a metal fabricator could easily make a shovel bucket arm to fill with hops for dry hopping. A hollow tube projecting out of a bung would be the release mechanism and double as a blow off tube. Hops are added to the...

It's time to replace my beer lines from keg to tap. Was thinking of the non-vinyl ultra barrier tubing, along with quick connects. (also known as John Guest or push fittings) Has anyone done this - replacing your SS barbed flare fittings, etc. with QC's? Trying to google specific fittings is a...

When brewing or designing a recipe, I’ve never really looked at alcohol content. For me, ABV is a trivial detail of brewing software that always seems to fall somewhere around 5.5 - 6.5%. It’s never been a “target” and for the most part, I’ve never paid attention to it. Now my pals are asking...

I bought a 5000 BTU Haier AC unit off craigslist for $30. Disappointed to find the copper condenser lines are attached at the side of the condenser on the bottom making it impossible to fit into a notched cooler. Fortunately I'm out only 30 bucks, but need advice on a cheap AC unit with the...

Grandma used to regularly make these on the farm. I can only find them in gourmet stores for a ridiculous price. Anyone else miss watermelon pickles?
