Thanks shady... will give it a try.

Hello everyone, I've taken a break from the site for the last couple years but I'm back with a quick question. My controller box has finally failed me after years of solid work. Three runs in on this last batch of Bran/Corn blend... (so tasty) my boiler mid run started to go full boil on me. My ques...

Mine came to $600 in a new home after permits and install. The trick is how hard would it be to build a small device to go between my already built controller and the charging unit thus getting me out of the kitchen and into the garage. A question for someone waaay smarter then myself.

With the rising popularity of electric vehicles and charging stations being installed in peoples homes, I wonder has anyone been pondering what it would take to get your EVCS to talk to your electric controllers for your boiler. Has anyone here been thinking about what sort of challenges would need ...

great info here. I opted out because i figured the only one drinking the stuff here is me and I don't particularly care if its not crystal clear. This is gonna be a slow ferment over about a month or so in a unheated basement. Thanks everyone.

Just a quick question... I was a little slow at adding pectic enzyme to my apple cider (i forgot, because I'm a dumbass ). I'm about two days into fermenting... can i just go ahead and add it or is it too late now? I figure it'll be working off for about a month anyway. Yes, I added yeast nutrient. ...

Sadly, relatively unknown outside of Canada.... this is an amazing three piece band called The Tea Party. This is an instrumental piece called Winter Solstice which I spent the last week learning on my acoustic and I think I can safely say I got it nailed down. Enjoy!

Saw this one today...

shared on my facebook page up here in the great white north, eh!

Yep, I devoured 4 beautiful Dungeoness with my kids tonight. We are spoiled.

I can see you're not worried about the noro-virus concerns. Regardless, yours are fully cooked through.

Hello from that small community down highway 14 West of Victoria.

You've found yourself in the right place to learn. Stay away from Youtube and Facebook. Choked full of bad information.

I combined the whole lot together and and let it work off for a few more days. I racked it twice now to clear the yeast. I did like I said and cold crashed the whole thing outside on the deck in a single carbouy. A point of interest.. the tall carbouy that looked like a snowglobe didn't finish dry, ...

Not sure why, but the fatter carboy is moving slower then the taller one. The only thing that differentiates between the two is the EC1118 packets that i added. (i didn't bomb) I only put two 5 gram packets in each (after reconstituting in water) then stirred them in. The fatter jar is working but j...

A quick update....
These carbouys look like a snow globe from all the action of the CO2 swirling around the cereal I added...

So today I went for it. I did throw out the banana. After combining and mixing all the containers of syrup (20.9Litres) my gravity came to SG1.140 which I added about 4Litres of Allbran backset. I watered it all down to the suggested SG1.090. I sorted through the cereal cupboard and found Cornpops, ...

I'm leaning towards not using the banana. There's not enough there to be useful and I'm interested in what a strawberry and maybe cornflake would taste like.

... I'm lying in bed (I work nights) and get to thinking, "I got a gallon of Rads Allbran backset sitting here as well!" After I water down this syrup to get to a workable potential, I'm gonna thin out the flavour. If I add that backset it could help out some... but why stop there? We got ...

Look at that colour. This is the same juice you get when making a Panty Dropper.

Typical me I over guessed how much I had. Turns out I collected around 21 litres of syrup. I checked the gravity and it comes in at SG 1.120 (15% potential). I'm gonna hold off on watering down for now in hopes that someone may chime in and offer a nugget of wisdom. Nothing worse then someone giving...

A couple years back, before changing careers, I was a cook. I worked in a very high volume cafeteria. The breakfast shift had me using strawberry as a topping for the waffles and pancakes. When the customers went through the buffet line they would scoop the berries out of the insert with a slotted s...

I followed this prick down the one lane stretch of road that takes me back home for about 30 mins. His blinker signaled a right turn the whole way. *twitch twitch*

A tip we used at the restaurant to avoid scorching the cream... Pour your refrigerated cream into your heavy bottom pot. When its settled, carefully add your sugar in a way that it settles to the bottom AND DON't Stir. This creates a layer of sugar at the bottom of the pot which helps to keep the mi...

Flea is a bass player.... now there is a whole other thread!!

I gotta go with Googe on this one... Dimebag Darrell.

I shot myself right between the eyes with a champagne cork. Not my finest moment.
