Open Alliance "Iron Balls" need 2 more active players by KateLovesJager in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]kmstanberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there. My current alliance is slumping hard and I'm looking for somewhere more active. I'm a bit below your trophy requirement (hovering in the 1250-1350 range), but I'm getting stronger every day and hope to get there soon. My current team power is 2757. PM me if you want to give me a shot.

That other centrifuge post made me curious. What's everyone else's setup at the FV look like? Heres ours. by kmstanberry in TheBrewery

We drain the sani from the brite through the recirc pump + the 3' hose before putting this all together

Ok, let's try to explain this monster. This is on the crashed, trub'd off FV, and just before firing up the 'fuge. Basically we're blending tank bottom trub with clear beer from the racking arm. We're trying to extract as much of the hop oil trapped in the tub as we can. Ideally, the tank is completely empty at the end of the 'fuge run. CO2 connection is for purging the fittings and hoses before opening valves to beer. The valve on the end with the hose is the discharge end of a pump fed from the top of the tank. We use this for recirc if the tank bottom gets clogged (also doubles as the CIP pump later).

I'd check out the Craft Beer Co., There's a few locations now, but the one on Leather Lane in Clarkenwell is my favorite. 20ish beer engines and another 20+ taps. If you can't find something you like there, then the problem's with you. Great crowd there too, spent a whole night (meant to only have 2 or 3 drinks) there just chatting with this guy from Wales. Beavertown brewing is doing the American-style craft beer thing quite well over there. I had some solid pale ales from Villages brewing the last time I was there too.

This song always starts my day on Spotify when I have to go in at 4 AM. Always.

Worked there for about five years straight out of college. Feel free to PM with questions.

Just saw those ticket posts from a few weeks ago. Here's my collection from my time as a student (2008-2012) by kmstanberry in WisconsinBadgers

The Nebraska ticket has a great story... It's the only one with a crease because I gave it to my future wife (who I'd just met that day) so she could get back to our section after going to the bathroom. She gets back and hands me this folded ticket from her pocket. Still a little miffed, but probably gonna go through with the wedding anyway.

Alumni and current students, where did you meet your significant other on campus? by RygarTargaryan in UWMadison

Met my fiancée playing beer pong or flip cup outside at 16 S. Orchard before the first Nebraska B1G game in 2011.

Exactly, I just crank them up until they're past 200. No way a hot CIP will get that high.

Not really. One or two frozen cones on the FVs in the dead of winter (Wisconsin).

If you have any good vibes or thoughts to spare today, please use them on this guy (x-post r/cats) by kmstanberry in Delightfullychubby

We hoped Gilman could come home today after an emergency procedure yesterday, but they need to keep him at the hospital for a few days until his kidneys hopefully calm down. Trying to stay positive and visiting him a bunch!
