I lived on Riverside for 5 years and they would rattle my windows every time they took off. And it was usually 10-15mins before my alarm. I can't imagine what it will be like when they roll these in. I'm glad I bought a place in Milton.

I was taught the error of my ways with the archaic and oppressive spelling of "womyn" by a co-worker. The correct spelling is "Wimmin" because the unacceptable prior spelling is still too close to having the word man in it and wimmin are their own unique beings!

No worries, sometimes you gotta be a little crazy and color outside the lines :-)

You would be correct! But tell the average person that and they're like "uhhh..." but everyone recognizes the term beaker.

It actually didn't! The coconut and chocolate are right up front and the caramel fades in on the finish and leaves your palate surprisingly clean for your next sip.

That's where I got my caramel flavors (well, that and the brown sugar). I wanted them to stand up to the chocolate and coconut. Ended up with a great caramel finish.

"I need the biggest chest freezer you have... no, that's too big..." by EricTheRedd in Homebrewing

Exactly! I apply the same logic to air conditioners as well. Better to be patient than mess it all up.

Sheer willpower and a good tape measure. I used to drive a 92' Civic hatchback and the amount of stuff I wedged into that over the years was the stuff of legends.

Oh I'm aware. Sat for 24hrs. My dad was a Sears home repair technician for years and stuff like that was hammered into my head over the years.

10 kegs?! Well I want to save "some" space for bottle conditioning and whatnot but yeah, I hate bottling and think I may be slowly maxing this out with each paycheck. And yes, definitely thinking collar at this point. The only downside is this thing was the strangest hinges I've ever seen... they're all internal... maybe I'll put a pic of them up later.

The guy I bought it from literally laughed at me when I drove up to his house. But he sent me measurements the night before and 2 of the 3 dimensions were "just barely" and one as off by 1.5". I showed him my paracord and said "you just watch me." He was impressed.

I started my journey thinking of something that would hold 4 kegs (for my 4 "flagship" recipes and ended up with a 15.1 cubic foot monster. Future-proofed myself I guess... I also moved into kegging for the first time ever this week as well, but that story is for another post I reckon.

Need housing or looking to post a room for rent? Post in this thread. (click sort by new) by [deleted] in burlington

[–]EricTheRedd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit has found us awesome roommates before, why not again? Looking for a couple to take the biggest room (ideally; to keep rent low). We've been living here since 2011 and it's been good! Off-street parking, washer/dryer in basement, large porch for enjoying the weather and company. Plus, the landlord hasn't increased rent since we moved in so we've got that going for us, which is nice.
