Wow, I never considered that my dad might have been the issue...all these years I thought it was me. :cross: We didn't have 40 acres and a backhoe, but he did have an agreement with a local veterinarian with a lime pit. And he did all the athletic physicals for my school, so he would have...

What are some styles where the extract flavor blends well?

Did you show her on the Control Panel where she could hide the extensions from her view? (If you haven't yet, can we watch? :) )

Today is National Donut Day. I brought donuts (so did some others; donuts as rewards and punishments are part of our project's "culture"). She bitched me out for not bringing fruit. Why the flocc would I bring in fruit on National Donut Day? :smack: If you want fruit, YOU bring in fruit...

[rant on] NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR DIET. JUST DRINK YOUR CUCUMBER WATER AND BE SAD SILENTLY. [/rant off] I need a beer.

Go spend some time in an nursing home sometime talking to the residents; having kids is no guarantee people won't spend their final years completely alone. Adult children move too far away, die, get addicted, decide they hate you, etc, etc. I'm childless-not-by-choice (yes, we exist) and I...

I licked my cat's head once. We both agreed I should never do it again.

My first "real" job as a teen was working in a mom-and-pop restaurant, where they called me Radish. When I signed up for a telnet BBS in 1993, there was already a user Radish so I embellished it and became Radish the Great. Good times.

My homebrew is guaranteed 99% cat-fur-free. :rockin:

Noob question: Where do you source the fermentation additions? I recognize herbs used in modern cooking, but I'd have no idea where to get food-grade "blessed thistle." (The Discovery World museum ran a series of "beers of antiquity" classes when I lived in Milwaukee; I was never able to...

5 gallons dunkelweizen 6536 + 5 = 6541 :mug:

If the guy who sits across from me (bloody open office) slurps his smeggin' coffee ONE MORE TIME I will wrest his mug from his hand, pour the contents over his head, and beat him with it until the handle falls off.

Hey, knitting will give you something to do while you wait for the beer.:ban: (I come to home brewing after years of quiltmaking, which somehow gets easier after a beer.)

Hrm, maybe this is my gateway into partial mash (I've only done extract so far). Spotted Cow was the beer that made me realize I didn't hate beer :D having only been exposed to BMCs and green-bottled imports before I moved to WI.

I thought this was a pretty good rebuttal: Budweiser is a garbage beer, even by garbage beer standards. It’s not “beer for people who like beer.” It’s beer for people who hate beer, a beer for people who are looking to slowly get buzzed as a means of numbing the pain while their life slips away...

I'm new to homebrewing, but I've been a quiltmaker for...many...years, and it's the same thing: "Why would I spend $100 on fabric and cut it into tiny pieces and then sew them back together when I can get a blanket at WalMart for $10?" Well, as you said, the process and the community...
