    11m Dx Radio Operators?

    I don't have a very powerful radio. We only share a small amount of sunshine this time of year. Soon It will be dark here at 16:30 my time...at that time it is only 07:30 on the East Coast of Australia. No possible contacts after then. The conditions for skip lately have been outstanding. I...

    Last Bottle Of The Raw Rye...sad :(

    I just cracked the last bottle of my AG Raw Rye Lager I started last December. Cereal mash temp for raw rye is the same as regular 2row malt. Easy as a concept but it was like sparging a bean bag chair. Delicious...very sad. It was such a pain in the arse I will likely never do it again...

    Is There A General Distain For Americans In Australia?

    I know we have had some idiot presidents. I haven't voted for less than an "A" student president ever. I'm not looking for sympathy. I am just curious, do (in general) Australians dislike Americans? Be brutal honest mates. What pisses you off about Americans? If an Australian boy married an...

    Above Ground Pool?

    This pool of ours is a point of contention at our house. I seem to be the only one who knows how to take care of it. Summer in Minnesota is 3 weeks away. I should have opened the pool a month ago but know I am faced with a septuptley filthy pool. I have my PH right. I have added a couple gallons...

    Mash In The Oven?

    I've seen it done here in the States. For stove-top BIABers It seems to be a natural. I haven't a clue about protein rests and things like that. An oven is fantastic at maintaining a constant temp. Put your bits in a pot up to temp with a tight sealing lid and you are done. If you want to be...

    Pour?

    A Czech Pilzen should look look like this. In the states we are value oriented. So if we get served 40% foam in a liter, we complain. Yes, I admit, many of us like catsup, mayonnaise, ranch dressing and have missed some of life's intricacies due to our forgone conclusions that the only way...

    Hops, Vitamin Content?

    Hops are loaded in vitamin C and several B vitamins (as are many flowers). Is there a study that tests one hop against another for it's wholesomeness? Do we get more vitamin content from long boils or short boils? Beer as a chilled "Hop-Tea" so-to-speak, would be the common delivery system of...

    How Do You Receive Television?

    For $40-$140 month half of America gets their TV from a package bundled together by a retail cable or satellite provider. Many of us due to unemployment have turned off these subscribed services. The free (no surtax) "OTA Over The Air TV switching to digital a few years ago has improved from 5...

    Loose Hull Barley Malt

    I picked up a 48LB sack of Rawson 2Row Barley Malt... I was reading some of its characteristics: It has a fat kernel It has a loose hull. Recommendation this was a good grain for ethanol but not really for beer. Why would a loose hull be bad?

    What Would This System Be Called?

    Cold water passes through a 3way valve and into an on-demand water heater then it dumps into an insulated tank. From that tank via another 3 way gate valve can recirculate through the heater and tank till it gets up to mash temperature. From there the water can go to the MLT. In the MLT it can...

    Diastatic Lme

    http://www.maltproducts.com/products.malt.html I just found this product line. They have active LME and active DME. If a guy used this while steeping (at whatever required mash temp) non diastatic grains they would convert then...correct?

    Sangria Dispenser Secondary?

    This one is only 12L/2.5 Gallons. There were 5 Gallon versions sold before. I can't find any now. They want $50 for this one. Buuuut if you know of one sitting around like I do. I was at a party at my mum's and she had one of these sitting there and I couldn't help but think that this would...

    Add Fan To Old Refrigerator?

    My kegerator is made out of a pretty old fridge. There are no computer ic parts or transistors. I want to add a couple 120mm fans inside to keep beer lines from freezing...even up the temp in the box. My goal is to use a DPDT (form c) cube relay I have in stock. Have the fans cycle when the...
