General Homebrew Discussion / Re: Second thoughts on brewing
« on: April 19, 2013, 06:45:45 PM »
i used to add ice directly to the wort to chill it instead of topping off with water, especially when brewing partial mash/extract. this cools it instatntly and i never had an adverse effect. yes store bought ice. i know this is contraindicated by many but it worked fine for me for many batches.

i think fresh almonds look like what i imagine a koala bears scrotum looks like.

i am currently uninsured by choice because my benifits would be too expensive. einsurance.com is a great option, i am just trying to determine which plan/rates/deductible i want. check it out you can get a good plan for $100/month, factor that into compensation. i am in no rush as i am healthy and work with doctors who can take care of me when i need it.

next time you have seeded cherrys, crack the pit and eat the seed. it is very almond like. that being said, they do contain cyanogenic compounds and can be poisonous in large amounts.

Commercial Beer Reviews / Re: La Folie
« on: April 04, 2013, 09:15:26 PM »
la folie is awesome. try le terrior, the name is pretentious but the beer is great. le terrior is like la folie but dry hopped. stay away from tranatlantique kreik, a real let down.

treat malt extract like you would flour. mix it with cold water slowly until you get a clump free paste.
