Wait a sec.....LSU isn't a bowl contender? They're 11th in the country and are predicted to play Georgia for the SEC championship. :angry: Now I remember why I don't like the Gators.

I got 22. Missed 4, 11, 13, 17, 22, 26 and 29.

You should be honored...not everybody gets two birthday threads, especially when it's not even your birthday! Well, anyway if you decide to have a birthday anytime soon, make it a good one.

As usual, Bruddah Wade and I are on the same page here. Robusto and Corona Gorda are my favorites in most situations. I also like Dalias and Marevas in certain cases.

Hey Pa Paw!! How 'bout adding my name to list? You still got my addy? Probably forgot where you put it you senile old @#$^*#...... :p

Glad you're dissatisfied with Ron Zook. Please fire him and send him back to New Orleans. He was the best DC we ever had.

For those of you who don't know who he is. He was an offensive tackle for the Rams from 1976 to 1995. That's 20 seasons for the math impaired or those missing fingers or toes. 20 years is a long time to play that position but during that time he was selected as an All-Pro seven times and was...

I'm gonna send him some just to shut him the hell up. He's holding the entire board hostage until he gets his RyJ's.....lol. Nah....since he got out of anger management, he's a pussycat.

I thought you got the hook-up on those R&J's. If LD can't take care of you lemme know. I should be able to scare some up. If nothing else I'll sneak 'em out of Neil's humidor at work. :sneaky:

I probably should have said something sooner. The Opies were pretty beat up when they got to me. Looked like they could have used some padding to keep them from banging against each other. I apologize for not bringing this forward sooner.

There's one of those in Raleigh too. What impressed me was not that they had so many beers but that they were all on tap! Old Chicago is another place that has a pretty good beer selection.

Something else weird about Texas is that the government thinks it can re-define beer styles (perhaps this explains Shiner "Bock"). Any beer over 5% ABV (I think) is classified as an ale. Everything else are lagers. ???

I thought you people were called Texans. Did I not get the renaming memo? Btw, I agree with LD.

Not quite. Alcohol is less dense than water. What you're measuring with specific gravity is sugar. Sugar is what the yeast ferments into alcohol so you can think of SG as potential alcohol. However the yeast don't have perfect attenuation - 70-80 % is normal for beer yeast. A substantial portion...

Never tried one but I will say that screw tops take a lot of the charm out of wine. Of course, opening up a $100 bottle where the cork's gone bad ain't much fun either.

Extract brewing isn't all that time consuming. You can do a batch in about 3 hours including cleanup once you get the process down. I agree though that 80 hour workweeks don't leave a lot of time for brewing....or even drinking. All grain brewing, on the other hand, is an all day thing. You...

Two reasons bigger is better when it comes to pots: 1) Boilovers are bad. You want enough head room so that when it foams up (and it will) at the hot break it doesn't end up on your floor. 2) When doing extract, there are a couple of problems. One is that since the sugars are more concentrated...

LSU vs. OSU....should be an interesting matchup. But sadly New Orleans is far, far away and I doubt I'll be in attendance.

Ohio State? Didn't realize you guys had a team.

I agree 100% Bill. Double that for an all grain. Even though you're working your ass off, in the few spare moments you have to reflect on it there's an immense satisfaction. I think I will always remember the feeling I had yesterday when I started the sparge and after recirculating a couple of...
