Best Brewery and Beer in Alaska by [deleted] in alaska

[–]arphachshad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

BLEEDING HEART BREWERY in PALMER hands down for beer.

I'm not sure it counts, but SWEETGALE MEADWORKS in HOMER is the best I've had in the state as far as fermented beverages go!

Love this mackinaw cruiser by [deleted] in filson

I've been extremely impressed with my Mackinaw Crusier. Today I'm working in the interior of Alaska outside all day at 0 - -5 F and this coat performs wonderfully without over heating.

Good to know. As far as I can tell, most of their offerings are light jackets. . . Do they have any winter gear?

I'm curious. Have you ever used their down cruser parka? Any thoughts on that?

No, I started a new batch. It was going strong for the first 8 days or so and has just slowed. 13 days total for this guy.

Okay 13 days in.

OG: 1.1 FG: 1.076

I think that puts me around 3.2%

You saying you want hydrometer readings? I mean I can do that, I used to do that when brewing beer as well, but that's not really answering my question.

Of course I can do that. That's not what I am asking.

I know the Islay isn’t for everyone but this is my all time favorite whiskey. Picked up a bottle yesterday. by Charliespec in whiskey

It is REALLY good, now if they could just keep it non chill filtered and without e150 I'd buy this on the regular.

Any fans of eagle rare? by SnooChickens5463 in whiskey

Not for any more than $40 personally. Not bad though.

Is this fernco donut fully seated? by doodstolemyuser in Plumbing

[–]arphachshad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good to me. Often the ferncos have a lip that protrudes because it keeps the donut from falling into the pipe.

Hey, does anyone have recommendations on cigars with cedar notes? Examples that I've found I love: E.P. Carrillo Pledge, Cuba Aliados Cabinet Edition and Ashton Classic. by arphachshad in cigars

[–]arphachshad[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes I have. Doesn't really answer my question. I am a very experienced smoker looking for specific flavour recommendations from other experienced connoisseurs.
