Yeah, I hear what you are saying. Most of my originals were had the same font for the brewery name. I tried to keep the overall template the same (Rectangular, border color darker, location of brewery name), with the exception of Bukka's. The cartoon nature of the picture called for something...

A laptop, inkscape, and two weeks in bed recovering from my blown out back gave me plenty of time to experiment with inskape.

I use Inkscape on my mac.

Once you wash the yeast, How long can they be kept in the fridge and still be viable?

Damn! that's why I haven't seen it in about 8 months. I was wondering. I thought all the places around here stopped carrying it because it didn't move quickly. That was the only WH sold in this state.

Exactly! I was in the same situation and I was dinged for it. Mine wasn't undercarbed at all. One comment was "severely undercarbonated". And I did compare mine to McKewen's after that. Pretty damned close. This maybe somewhat off topic, but there are too many competitions, and too few...

Cleaning...and bottling

That show os so well written. You never know what to expect. Like the kid in the last episode!

You can use a side-by-side with temp controller. just don't plan on using the other side. I use mine in the fridge side (where I have the sensor). I keep plastic soda bottles filled with water in the freezer side (for my ice bath immersion chiller). Some times they are frozen solid...

Watch out for fusal alcohols. I don't think conditioning will take care of them. It will be a better beer without them. And you will have them at 90F, or even 80F.

Muscle relaxers are the S$^#T for sleep. Doctors give them to me for my back. They don't do a damned thing for my back, but make me sleep so well! Some people I knw that have taken them at night thought it left them in a haze the next day. Not me.

Smithsonian folkways (I think that is what they are called) recordings. The Lomax stuff. He traveled the country with a a "portable" tube powered recorder documenting it from the source. This is somewhat of topic , are you a musician? I'm a decent guitar player, but I have a 3/4 octave...

I have a set-up where I can monitor the fermentation temp inside the fermenter using a bimetal thermometer that i calibrate right before I set it. Most of the time femrentation temps run ~4F (give or take a degree or two) warmer than ambient temps. But everyonce in a while it goes nuts...

YES! Also, I swear sometimes I think it could turn into a tellanovella at any moment.

I made a scottish ale last year with no hops. All bittering came from heather. SWMBO hates bitter beer (most beer in fact) didn't like it. it is different, and not necessarily in a good way. It was malty, not sweet, and had a chamomile tea like flavor. Inlaws loved it. Me.....meh. I took...

Gordon Ramsey has a really good, and simple, shepherds pie. just dont be conservative with the cheese.

Most all lagers of any kind. To me, they have an aftertaste that I just cant get past anymore. Sometimes I can do a good micro/craft, or home-brewed pils, but that is rare. The last time I had a lager I enjoyed was ~3 years ago. And I use "enjoyed" loosely.

I'm doing my saison tomorrow. I will be doing the Evil twin either next weekend or for the big brew day.

My SWMBO doesn't like beer. But she samples (few sips) every homebrew I do. She has a pretty good palate and can critique them better than most people I give the one of my beers to. But in the end, she thinks all my IPA's taste like soap. I have a dark mild (low ABV%, low IBU, and malty and...
