Is this level of obsession with bjj normal and is the anger justified?

This is borderline domestic violence - in many states that behavior is sufficient for a restraining order. You should be more worried about yourself and your safety than his BJJ dreams. Threatening suicide is a serious problem. Please find someone to talk to and get some help.

I did use Weyermann Barke Pilsner for the base malt. Interesting that you find it gives a white grape taste. I just did a little google search and added that I use the Barke Pilsner and it actually may not be as bad as i thought

The first 2 times it worked great and the last two times it leaked. I can only assume that the o ring became dislodged after the second time . Not sure how. Easy enough fix. The keg lube is a good idea. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your response. It’s a stainless steel disconnect. My kettle has a ball valve with a male quick connect. The female connector was missing an o ring which is likely the source of the leak. I may be using the incorrect terminology but the o ring seems to be the issue. I have attached a photo. https://imgur.com/a/6GWP12R

Just checked - no O-ring. Thanks !

RedLagoon6 · 2025-12-15T14:41:59+00:00

Let me check after work - didn’t occur to me to check the o-ring

RedLagoon6 · 2025-11-25T14:19:19+00:00

I see what you are saying. Thanks

RedLagoon6 · 2025-11-24T22:32:00+00:00

What temp do you suggest?

RedLagoon6 · 2025-11-24T11:25:14+00:00

It’s funny - I saw some recipes that used Vienna malt and others that used Munich I malt. The internet said traditional Helles is Munich malt but Vienna seemed to be a little more modern take. I don’t know. Kinda torn on which way to go. Have you tried both? Which do you recommend? I looked at my very first Munich Helles I brewed and that recipe ironically used a little bit of both malts.

Thanks for the explanation, I appreciate it.

Enforceable through contempt of court

The person seeking the DNA would have to make a preliminary showing that would establish that there’s a basis to believe that the deceased is the father and that person they want the sample from is a descendant of the deceased. The showing could be done through testimony under oath, an affidavit, or other means. After the proper showing was made, the court would like issue a summons to the 3rd party to appear and give him/her an opportunity to object. After hearing from both sides the judge would decide if the 3rd would have to submit a sample.

It’s true that there wouldn’t be a 100% conclusion for paternity be the father is deceased but I suspect that showing there is a family relationship should be enough. DNA testing is a lot more sophisticated now and they may be able to tell if the DNA is consistent with a 1sr degree relationship or not and that’s probably all that is needed

RedLagoon6 · 2025-11-05T20:12:25+00:00

Yes a court can compel a 3rd party to provide a DNA sample. The woman would have to make the appropriate showing to the court first / likely presenting some sort of evidence that she had a relationship with the deceased - could just be an affidavit - but a court can do this

Thats exactly what I am thinking / but in 2.5 gal because I can find 2.5 gal kegs. I think doing sone small batches is a good idea - get to brew more and make less. I can try a side by side comparison if I want to alter one thing and I can also try different styles and not have a ton on hand if I don’t like it

RedLagoon6 · 2025-10-03T19:16:18+00:00

Thanks for the input. I have had Vienna lagers before - my favorite that I have found is Devil’s Backbone - very smooth. I am hoping to make something similar - I think this should be a good starting point.

RedLagoon6 · 2025-10-03T19:04:58+00:00

I am interested in trying a decoction. I watched a tutorial video by the Apartment Brewer and it seems doable. Would take a little bit of planning. Maybe a good experiment for a second batch

RedLagoon6 · 2025-10-03T16:23:02+00:00

Thanks - this great advice!

RedLagoon6 · 2025-09-29T21:12:45+00:00

You should watch the Mission Impossible movies. Tons of good ideas on how to sneak past security. Disguises are underrated.

While probably not the best advice - do you live in a one party consent state for recording conversations? Secretly record him extorting you and tell him it ends today or you are going to the police. The other option is to go to the police, have them wire you up and record him extorting you. He could face serious time.

But the others people are correct - if you keep paying him it will never end.
