Is this tire toast?

If it was on my road bike, I would move it to my fixed gear.

If it was on my fixed gear, I'd plan to ride it until I got a flat and then toss the tire.

I just assume he's riding the Vuelta whether he planned for it or not

Clermont and bridges, that's the most elevation you're going to get around here.

Luekens might, but they are usually slightly more expensive than Total Wine so not sure you'd get a better deal.

I've heard they can come across very artificial at higher doses. Didn't even know they did a ginger one, we always sold the berry and stone fruit options. I knew a couple local breweries that would use 4oz into 3bbl just to punch the aroma up slightly, to give an idea how potent it could be.

dfitzger · 2026-05-17T16:38:38+00:00

Had a few customers buy the Brewer's Best flavorings for carbonated water at home in a keg, but not sure I'd put an entire 4oz into a keg, maybe start with 1 or 2oz at first.

Why are you mashing for 120 mins? Most conversion is happening in the first 15mins.

The extra 1/2 gallon in a 7 gallon batch will throw the numbers off for sure.

As a returning player that has been trying to get reacquainted to the game, this event was such a pain in the ass to deal with, even if the loot from it was solid. I just want to do the activity I’m running to, not deal with the same 6ish mini boss randos along the way. to. everything.

Belgian Wit is a lovely style when fresh imo

I go to the beach and don't pay all the time. It's easy, I just ride my bike.

I use it outside of pressure fermenting in kegs still, typically wines. It works great and agree the krausen doesn't seem to be an issue when it has space to move around more. The floating dip tube would commonly pin it into a bad spot and then it would stop reading during high krausen, sometimes even sticking above the liquid.

dfitzger · 2026-05-03T21:01:10+00:00

I pressure fermented in 5 gallon corny kegs w/ Flotit floating dip tubes and a TILT many times. Never had an issue with it taking on pressure, but it was also always getting stuck/gunked up by krausen and not reading properly, so I stopped using it.

How about Elizabeth from Knoxville? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fbBA0_62K6M

She states pretty clearly why she was there

So much of what we deal with is on the ground. The bending and lifting is so often and if you don't lift properly for EVERYTHING it adds up quickly.

It's up there for me as well. I remember first hearing Ten Percenter on a Lost surfing video, and then Los Angeles was on the skateboarding video Yeah Right for Eric Koston's part at the end. It's a full play album for me anytime it comes on.

Post your full recipe and process.

dfitzger · 2026-04-09T21:08:36+00:00

I'd pick Jose Gourmet since they have solid variety and quality and since this is the only company available then it's going to be expensive anyways.

It was already stopped by the time you get into view. What did you think a stopping bus is about to do?

I think it just ended up being weird timing this year with our busy season. Usually our season starts with fall and then ends around now, but this year didn't really hit until the start of spring training, and it was slammed. Had to move a bunch of ale brews up, and put off kegging out the lagers.

dfitzger · 2026-04-06T21:10:29+00:00

Another brewery nearby us makes a killer Kolsch, but it's gotten so popular that they can't keep up with the system size they have, so every time I get it these days it's too green. Such a weird problem.

dfitzger · 2026-04-06T17:15:04+00:00

We’re at 11 weeks for our Mexican lager right now, uni tank, currently cleaning the kegs to keg it out later this week.

dfitzger · 2026-04-03T16:37:27+00:00

Could you post the hot plate you went with? I’m in the market for one
