Heard a tip that you can cut off an inch of the foodsaver bags and then insert it a half an inch into a Mylar bag, leaving the other half-inch sticking out. Then seal it over the two bags with the foodsaver bag sticking past the "foam" seal to the vacuum chamber. This only works with the l...

DUDE! I was thinking about doing this very thing! I met a guy that distills alcohol and he told me about a process called "jacking" whereas hard distilled alcohol is chilled to 20 or so degrees below the freezing temperature of water and then held there for some time. After that the alcoho...

Good point! Lol

$300 is almost my monthly eating budget. Daaaammmmnnn....

You guys ruined the surprise, lol! We all know it's totally worth putting olive oil in out beer just to deal with foam! The funny thing is that putting your finger into soda reduces foam because it's water and sugar based foam and the oil on your finger is dissolved by the acid in the soda which red...

OMG! Your breakfast was more than most of my entire drinking nights! I heard that the economy in Vegas took a huge dive, so you think they would be whoring out the drinks, too (pun intended). Sounds like you're having fun man. Post pics if you got em!

I'm assuming you'll go thin with it? I would suggest a tiny bit of lactose (0.25#) if the cherry you are using is at all tart. Reason being is that a dry beer with a tart cherry will be almost acidic and bitter. Dextrose or a mashing higher will add that mild sweetness that is usually associated wit...

I live three miles from the anaheim one. I never heard of it till now but THREE MILES!!!! BACON VALHALLA HAS BEEN THREE MILES AWAY, and I never knew it! Not even a whole 3, but 2.9 miles!!!

It's time for some serious enlightenment with a side of bacon.

(...and a coronary.)

Thanks!

Indeed! Congrats, Derrin! I just checked it out! That's awesome.

I'm sorry you're going through that Alex. I wish you, your grandfather, and your girlfriend's grandmother get better and persevere through these tough times. Good luck man. Keep your chin up. I don't want to step on toes, but If it's something that needs to be made I can stand-in for Alex. I'm reall...

Hi Mike. Welcome! Irvine's a nice area to live in, one of the top cities in Orange County, so you'll probably like it. BrewCommune is a great club with lots of very experienced members. I'm kinda new to brewing but the rest of the guys here have been brewing for years and have a ton of knowledge to ...

I guess that does make sense, Brad. I still think Donald's old ale is was worthy of first, but I'm not trained or anything.
