    A new joke

    If you're at a party and you overhear some of the lady folk talkin' about their "Kegel Exercises" you probably should not try to explain that in a properly designed gravity system it shouldn't be a workout, and that the march type pumps and a CIP setup is...well... TITS! YMMV, RJ

    Graff (Malty, slightly hopped cider)

    after 3 batches I don't have it nailed down but here are some observations: apple juice/cider varies wildly: quality in/quality out. like a wine it may benefit from acid adjustment. Malto-dextrin for some body. if you want to get apple taste/nose: 1-1.5 cans of A.J.Concentrate to prime...

    might help if you read it in a Conan O'Brian voice: ___________________________________________ Have you seen the new Bud Light spokesman Rapper "Pit Bull" ? He has a shaved head... if you look close you'll also notice he is walking backwards...

    Make 'em disappear

    Ke$ha et al... I understand. I am an eternal amateur musician, so I really strive not to hate - although it seems to be a common human thing, so I'm in good company. Willie? Really?... ok, I understand, though I can't abide. I enjoy music across the spectrum, my favs: Lounge...

    I love puns!

    true story: a farmer where I used to live had sheep and one old one was adept at escaping through the fence so he made a collar out of 1x2 wood strips so it could still graze but not fit through the fence. First time I saw it I said "there is a mutton for punishment!"

    Vacuum Sealing 12# of Hops, Individually - How Many Rolls?

    see link to Vacuum seal I very well could be wrong, as I'm not an expert but - Oxygen molecules are pretty small and there seems to be general consensus both on this forum and elsewhere that plastic buckets are somewhat permeable. Oh, so that's why the airlock bubbles! Nevermind vac...

    Vacuum Sealing 12# of Hops, Individually - How Many Rolls?

    Foodsaver bags are not Oxygen barrier and it'd the oxidation of the hops that kills them food bags protect the food from freezer burn, oxidation not much of an issue. the bags the hop purveyors use are metallic barrier bags. They seem to be the same as the anti-stat bags chip/pc...

    The Diastatic Inquisition.. YOU WILL CONVERT

    This is not my first rodeo, and it has been a long day. 10Gal. Turbid mash for a split batch - my Lambic project. which went ok: hit the temps though mash was thinner than intended. next up: A 5gal Saison: I started towards the end of the 2 hour boil of the Lambic. I forgot to treat...

    Seriously stop using acronyms,

    I usually can get the gist of the meaning by how they are used in context. Like how BMC is used in a sentence disparaging large brewing corporations. Some are less intuitive like SWMBO = "she who must be obedient" because in context most use it like "she who keeps my balls in her purse" and I...

    Racking my sour to secondary

    So is that Acetic acid I taste in Rodenbach? and it is living in their wood? It's not part of the Roeselare blend and I'm guessing if you wanted some of that character it'd be safer to add some vinegar at packaging time. -OR- is the vinegary taste that I get from that beer something else...

    Graff (Malty, slightly hopped cider)

    I just pitched some English ale yeast on a batch with the following changes: _hole foods had pasteurized Non-filtered AJ in Glass gallon jugs (going to re-purpose those) buy 4 and you get a 10% discount case price. ($32 total) added a rounded 1/2 ts. Pectic enzyme to each jug. Added 4...

    Turbid mash - Sparging question

    I found the answer to my questions by searching the forum (imagine that) in a thread I had skipped due to how it started. Slap! https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f36/lambic-99063/ from Wild Brews no less: OK I can see how messing with/stirring the mash that much will cause chunks to get...
