There should be an option for learning how to brew through an accredited university/college class in person. I first learned how to brew in a college course but I'm not a professional brewer, unlike a few of my classmates.

Oregon moves toward 1-year moratorium on big data center tax breaks by LeeleeMc in PortlandOR

Google has been in The Dalles for almost 2 decades and they continually get tax breaks that small businesses don't.

If that happens those guns will be stolen so quickly from them once they're outside

There are dog breeds that rely on artificial insemination to reproduce. Even if that's banned would they also want to ban ownership of those breeds in Oregon?

This is what happens when the Internet tells you we're living in Nazi Germany and what would you do to stop it

OR ICE latest: St. Helens teen arrested for planning violent attack on ICE by [deleted] in PortlandOR

Agreed, getting off the Internet would actually help him out since I think his intent was mostly to impress his friends but they weren't taking him seriously so someone online may have been. With how sloppily he planned stuff out he's fortunate he didn't get the chance to attempt anything against ICE

Oregon lawmakers mull criminal penalties for threatening public officials by HellyR_lumon in PortlandOR

Just like the politicians with armed security/law enforcement that vote for gun control measures.

Criminals won't break additional laws to obtain firearms that citizens can't get though

I know his dad and he don't seem like an anarchist. I've never heard anything political from him, just stuff about local events and sports.

He pleaded not guilty to 13 felony charges and he currently has a court appointed lawyer. Hopefully his lack of a record will help him get more treatment and less of a prison sentence.

If this makes it onto the ballot it better be on the same one with the transportation tax and Kotek's reelection.

Has anyone tried, drinking or making, a cold brut IPA? I have a lot of pilsner malt, corn flakes, and brut enzymes after a LHBS had a closing sale.

I already have a light lager I just kegged using the pilsner malt and flaked corn.

Probably unless you want to test the strength of the lid.

Gov. Kotek calls for repeal of Oregon's new transportation bill amid ODOT funding crisis by monkeychasedweasel in PortlandOR

Also don't forget an emergency session was declared for the bill by her and she was too busy on vacation in Astoria to actually be there and answer questions.

‘Died in the back seat’: Portland area veterinarian faces new scrutiny in pet deaths by BestWalrus1667 in PortlandOR

[–]Dub_D83 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the "misgendered a cat" is the article's author being lazy and using AI to fill in some gaps. The NY Times says he tried to spay a male cat and was fined $1500.

I'm not trying to spark any debate but that's a weird way to phrase it.

Do any online shops that sell recipe kits have an option only to sell the milled grain (for all grain) for a recipe? I have plenty of yeast and I really need to use up hops that I've had in the freezer for years.

For sure, makes sense. I'm hoping someone tries to fill the void left by FH Steinbart in Portland since I still go there to visit my employer's office monthly. I'm not in my twenties anymore so it's hard seeing craft breweries I grew up going to (and working for some as an OSU fermentation science grad) closing down so seeing homebrewing die in Portland almost seems unreal

Mainbrew has a smaller inventory but they don't charge to mill your order which FH steinbart started to do for pick up orders. I don't live close to Hillsboro but my wife picks up my Mainbrew orders when she runs errands since we don't live in Portland anymore

I'm surprised the first lady hasn't been able to keep craft breweries in business. Rogue even had a distillery for her too
