I knew I'd go grey.

Actually its in your DNA from your family to how fast you go grey and loose your hair and sometimes your teeth. One of my friends was going bald in high school his great grandfather was almost bald at 20 with a comb over not much you can do about it. It doesnt mean that your going to die faster it just means you can thank your gene pool. :-)

Black holes.

I think its a transfer point of matter from this universe to another in the form of dark matter and dark energy feeding the growth of other universes, just like ours we dont know where its coming from but its whats causing our universe to expand.

Would this be wine or beer?

Do you like the powerball rug? the store was going to get rid of it so I asked if I could have it

I'm not sure what Powerball Rug is. When it comes to alcohol, I,m generally....well....clueless.

Its a Pale ale light beer and a remix, fine tuning the recipe and taste for each batch and the rug that is under the jugs is a powerball lottery rug that I got from a store its just a little fadded but catches messes very well for what i need it for

If you had $26M would you invest in a moderately risky venture for an expected 5% return over 5 years?

I suppose if its your money then its up to you. Most businesses dont even get going well in 5 years let alone show a profit. Research is the key here on any investment the more you know the more you will make.

I'm not sure how many of you out there make your own wine or beer, so I am going to just put this out there.

A friend who made his own beer said, "Bleach is your friend." He said you had to sterilize the heck out of your equipment.

I'd really like to do this if I had the room for it!

Hey hows it going? You never use bleach when making anything, it can ruin the flavor or cause you to get sick same with soap. I use Star San, it works great, food save and not to expensive. The only thing that is sterilized is med equipment, you have to sanitize the equipment and you dont have to take it to the extreme. If you want to make your own get a starter kit and give it a try. You should have something to drink in 30 days or less.

I'm small time compared with you. ๐Ÿ˜‹ I only do 4 litres at a time.

With my second batch I used a balloon with a hole in it as an airlock and it worked great. If I were going to be doing more, I would look at getting a proper airlock, but for how small my batches are, the balloon works.

The recipe that I was following called for a second ferment... all the comments however agreed that a single ferment for a little longer would suffice. I now know that isn't the case. ๐Ÿ˜„

Live and learn.

The way I do it is after 7 to 9 days or when the bubbling stops I siphon off the mash, using 1/4 inch tubing, into another container of equal size leaving behind the sediment then I add flavoring and wait another 7 days thats called the 2nd fermentation then siphon off the mash into another container this time make sure that you dont get any sediment, then let it sit for 2 to 4 weeks which is the racking stage, then enjoy what ever you made. Total time is a month or more depending on what you make.

Nobody else is going to start a post, looks like I'll have to talk to myself.

And yeah TheClue didn't you just post a picture of about 100 gallons of wine you're making? That's kind of tempting for someone who's had trouble with alcohol in the past. I guess you've figured out a way to exert the proper amount of self control.

See that's what I don't like about NA and why I made this post. They don't want me to drink a beer while watching the Superbowl because they think if I dip my toe in the water I'll suddenly jump in over my head. I've been dipping that toe in the water my whole life without drowning. But yeah I went a little too far outside the lines or I wouldn't be in the position I'm in.

It took me 10 years to know my limits, its not a quick and easy road to travel but in time I made it to where I am at, now I am secure in myself so that I can make wine and beer and not worry about it, it has no control over me. :-)
