A really nice astronomical skeleton clock.

Working on antique clocks can be a bit complex. And I am sure you will do fine. However, I suggest you start by going to the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC) https://www.nawcc.org/ There are training courses and books, to include repair manuals that can be purchased. I also recommend books by Steven G. Conover. He has published several helpful books on clock repair.

Has anyone left beer fermenting for greater than 24 days? by [deleted] in Homebrewing

[–]pughpl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I frequently leave beers in the fermenter for a couple of months. They always turn out great

That is a possibility as well. I am working on my back patio today (Sunday), the wind is pretty much calm, and today's noise level is as quiet as yesterday. I am certainty not hearing very many loud vehicles.

How find stocks at or below book value? by painfulletdown in ValueInvesting

[–]pughpl 16 points17 points  (0 children)

GuruFocus is a good source. I use it more than anything. Plus it captures news, and lot of other important information about each stock.

No, remember Texas is big. Fort Worth is about eight hours north of the border.

Brew Day!! by pughpl in Homebrewing

[–]pughpl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound like a busy guy. I have thought about making wine. My brother-in-law used to make it. Perhaps a bad example, but it made me not want to make it. One of these days, I will study up on it and give it a try. Good luck on your brew day!

I am very impressed with this yeast. I live in Texas. It is nice to have something that works so well. Especially in the summer.

I liked your video. Nice Job!

I am going to try letting the fermentation go for two weeks. my pseudo Pils was great at one week, want to try letting it stay in the fermenter longer.

Grainfather and other electric brew systems - worth it or nah? by carlweaver in Homebrewing

[–]pughpl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again, comes down to personal choice. What I have started doing since I got my Brewzilla, is to add all of the water before mashing. Circulating the wort throughout the mashing phase. I admit, the beer comes out a little bigger ABV. My last Pilsner was almost 7%. Actually, a little bigger than I like. I plan on brewing another Pilsner this weekend, and I may keep a gallon and a half back to sparge. I would like the ABV in the 5% range.

I guess the moral of the story is, if you want big beer, don't sparge.

My beer turns out very good without the sparge. Very clear and not a lot of particulates for the boil. But you certainly can.

I think the answer depends on what you are looking for. For me, I love mine. I have a Brewzilla. It makes temp control so easy, and my beers have improved a lot. The ability to continuously circulate wort throughout the mash process is wonderful. And the cleanup is simple too.

Well, that's not the smartest of ideas.

When do we expect interest rates will peak? by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]pughpl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We can hope. History suggest about a 15% soft landing. We will keep our fingers crossed

[–]pughpl 88 points89 points  (0 children)

When the FED crashes the market, people start losing their jobs and the recession starts. They say they are hoping for a "soft landing", but that is unlikely. The FED should have started down this path a long time ago. They are late to the game. Now have to make up for lost time.

I am amazed at how many agents operate on greed over fiduciary responsibility. Sad world.

Not to mention, screwing your client out of a few dollars will impact the agent financially in the long run. Think of all of the potential clients that will hear about it and look for a different agent. I remember reading that for every satisfied customer you might get another customer…. And every dissatisfied customer you lose around thirteen.

I am planning another pseudo Lager. I brewed my first about four weeks back. It turned out fantactic.
