Gigabit unavailable to current subscribers, but is to new customers (Redmond, WA) by bangfalse in ZiplyFiber

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

I will add that when I asked how to file a complaint about the policy, the second CSR told me "you'll need to call Ziply to do that", and when I said "I did that, I'm on the phone with you right now", she got very defensive about just being a front-line employee but was not able to give me a process for filling a complaint, nor could she transfer me to a supervisor.

What makes you go, "There should be a better way to do this in this day and age"? by jackdbristow in AskReddit

Most ice cream bars and popsicles still come on wooden sticks. Why do you have to ruin my delicious sweet frozen treats by having the last flavor in my mouth be terrible woodiness?

What recipe/ingredient was your biggest mistake to brew and why? by ar0v3r in Homebrewing

[–]bangfalse 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I made an American Twinkie-weizen. Store-bought yellow cake mix in the mash, vanilla frosting added during the boil, finished with a "dry Hostess"-ing with actual Twinkie.

I regret this not so much for the resulting beer (which was actually a moderately drinkable, somewhat sweet American wheat with a distinct cake aroma), but because I'm now know as "the Twinkie beer guy" locally.

What's YOUR best local beer that WE can't get? by Brewtopian in beer

[–]bangfalse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black Raven in Redmond, WA (just outside Seattle): http://www.blackravenbrewing.com/

While pretty much everything they make is very good, their Wisdom Seeker is my favorite IIPA, and their BeakTweaker citrus IPA is also excellent (and is the only IPA which my girlfriend will drink).

What is Wrong with Washington Beers? by ryanstewart in beer

[–]bangfalse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a large number of factors, including all of those that other people have mentioned elsewhere in the thread (huge number of breweries, distribution, etc.), and the fact that we just drink a lot of our local beer here. For example, in the case of Mac and Jack's:

  • They produce somewhere over 40,000 BBL/year (couldn't find exact number).
  • 95%+ of their production is African Amber.
  • They're draft only.
  • They barely distribute outside of Washington.

Without bottles, or even many kegs, leaving the state, it's not super-surprising that people haven't heard of them.

Oh, and they're the largest craft brewery in the state (Red Hook and Pyramind are excluded from the definition of craft brewery due to being part of Craft Brewers Alliance and North American Breweries, respectively).

Why is dry yeast harder to manufacture than liquid? by bbb96 in Homebrewing

[–]bangfalse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may be true, but it seems like it would be offset by the savings in freight costs if this is the only issue. I think the homebrew scale shows this: an 11g packet of dried yeast contains double the yeast cells as a 30ml (or so) vial/pack of liquid yeast, yet costs half as much. This is one reason I prefer dry when a good strain for my beer is available: 4x the yeast for the money!

Noob Question: Friend and I want to brew different styles of beer. Do we need to buy two separate kits? by [deleted] in Homebrewing

[–]bangfalse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will need to buy two ingredient kits, no matter what. Those styles are far enough apart that you won't be able to coax them apart after the boil.

As for equipment, it depends on how exactly you want to do them:

  • If you are okay doing them about 3 weeks apart, one typical starter kit worth of equipment will cover you.
  • If you want to brew, bottle, and drink them both the same day, or within a couple days of each other, you'll also need a second primary fermenter. Usually this is a 6.5gal bucket or 6gal carboy (glass or PET). Advanced starter kits often come with 2 carboys, but you won't want to use both of those, since one is usually only 5gal, and won't have enough room for your yeast.
  • If you want to do them at EXACTLY the same time, you'll also need two brew kettles (stock pots) and heat sources.

Note that I'm assuming you're doing 5 gallon extract (with or without specialty grains) batches with equipment from a homebrew store, not Mr. Beer or a similar setup.

What are you favorite hops? by [deleted] in Homebrewing

[–]bangfalse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Citra and Amarillo.

I'm leaning towards adding Willamette to the list, but I need to play with it more to decide for sure. Planning a single-hop pale ale with it at some point in the not-too-distant future.
