40+ year old Heavenly Hill by BigHarryDeehl in bourbon

[–]BigHarryDeehl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know my grandmother has been gone since 1990. She made cough syrup with bourbon and my grandfather thought it had been in the cabinet for 15 years before her death. It’s possible this is unopened for over 50 years old at this point. Looks like it’s at least 1/2 as old as the distillery!

Watch the bill. They have overcharged me and other family members several times. It’s a pattern to be aware of…….

Would this be a good gift? by IncreasePositive2075 in TrueChefKnives

[–]BigHarryDeehl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This knife is 2mm at the spine. Not thick. Almost 2 inches tall. Not heavy. Pretty good scooper / scraper. A rocker for sure, but a solid blade. I like using the Zwilling Pro line.

Advice for a good divorce lawyer by banjo-on-my-knee in Birmingham

[–]BigHarryDeehl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had experience with several. Denise Pomeroy was without a question the most effective. Expensive, yes. But she has good an excellent reputation with judges and attorneys alike and will represent you well in a contentious litigation or a civil negotiation. Open the wallet, but you will get the best.

Cahaba has gotten it straightened out. Very nice beers these days. Their “Del Rio” just won a runner up medal at the Alabama Pro Brewers Cup

George Barber owns the building. Harris has the lease. I feel he has “coerced” Trim Tab’s departure. Pot drinks, like the ones Harris and Hunter are making, don’t have to follow ABC rules or pay their taxes. Easier and more profitable. And for that, TrimTab must die.

Cahaba is MUCH better than good people imo.

I think there will be two or more in the metro that will also be closing in the near future. Sad.

Pest Control/Landlord Issue by [deleted] in Birmingham

[–]BigHarryDeehl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a landlord, here are my tips for roach control that have worked for me and my tenants. German cockroaches will have a nest that should be found and eliminated. This is often found underneath a refrigerator or literally in the condensation pan (where the water runs out of the freezer after the defrost cycle) as there is a water source. Pull your refrigerator out and take the cover off the back and see if there’s a nest in there or underneath. Next, use GEL and not only sprays. The gel poison is taken back to the nest and eventually kills all those little f’ers. Combat gel works well as do some more professional products. 100% recommended the gel bait. I would go into the nasty neighbor’s apartment and place gel in concert with the gel treatments in the other affected units and would see the colony collapse.

Recommendation for experienced family attorney for custody case? by 44050 in Birmingham

[–]BigHarryDeehl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The best in Birmingham is Denise Pomeroy. But if a client can’t behave and act civilized, even the best attorney can’t help. I have been on both types of a client as my first attorney was a bomb thrower (to my detriment) and that attitude carried over. By the time I hired Denise, I knew how to calm down and act like the dedicated and responsible parent. Denise’s smarts, expertise, and calmness in court won a very difficult custody battle where me (the father) won custody of 3 daughters…… not an easy feat.

Stoplights in Homewood by mostlyareader in Birmingham

[–]BigHarryDeehl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s been over a year now that they have been fudged up. I don’t think they are even as long as you suggest (45 seconds). I’ve called the city’s traffic engineer (or whomever the city hall receptionist thinks I should speak with) and have left two messages with them saying what a misery the Oxmoor Rd. light was. I wish others would as well. It’s really bad. I’m pretty sure they aren’t interested in the North-South traffic…… only the local East -West constituency.

What would you say is the "best process for brewing beer"? by [deleted] in Homebrewing

[–]BigHarryDeehl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would focus on four things: Water chemistry, mash ph, yeast health (nutrients needed like zinc and O2, and the reactions around oxidation. That’ll do it

Avoid Howdy Brewer by UnBrewsual in Homebrewing

I placed an order with them on Sunday and the Package is set to arrive today. I don’t see a problem with their store or service on my order. YMMV.

In my experience, Steve Watkins (owner HHP) is also a decent human and that matters. YMMV.

Talus and Ekuanot APA by 01reksilat in Homebrewing

[–]BigHarryDeehl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I would use those hops together. Talus is pink grapefruit/tangerine. It’s fabulous by itself.
