    Enjoy the wing nut madness as entertainment and don't take it personally when then act like a horde of lost fools who agree in steadfast circlejerkery. 

     

    It seems like it can be a sort of choose your own adventure story - especially with that first post in the deep state thread. Post a reply and learn all the secrets of the deep state.

    They're stonewalling.  It shouldn't take nearly this long.  

     

    I've seen how this works.  For it to take this long, DoJ documents would have to be in such disarray that they would never be able to use them for a criminal indictment.  

     

    Excuse my ignorance, but what documents in particular are the DOJ taking too long to produce to the subcommittee?

    I just wonder what the process is for the DOJ to provide the documents the oversight committee seeks.  Is the DOJ stonewalling or does it just take a lot of time and steps to hand over the documents?

     

    Likely the later considering the fact I laid out above. If the oversight committee was doing their job faithfully in their request of these documents, certainly more than 2.5% of their colleagues would agree with impeachment of Rod Rosenstein.

    i don't know the first thing about brewing, but time and time again, i've heard that point 1 is super critical...for both wine and beer.  if the components aren't cleaned properly, it leads to awfulness.

     

    You've definitely got the first thing about brewing down.

    I prefer the drinking of beer as opposed to the making of beer.

     

    If you're not drinking beer while making it, you're doing it wrong :beer:

    I used to brew a lot more often than I do these days.  I'm lucky if I brew twice a year now, but it's not rocket science to brew great beer at home.  The two or three most important things that people neglect that lead to less than stellar product.. 

     

    1.) Improper sanitation.  If your fermenter isn't  properly cleaned and sanitized it's highly likely you'll get some funky off flavors.

     

    2.) Not pitching a big, healthy yeast starter.  If your yeast isn't rip roaring and ready to go when you pitch into the wort the yeast will become stressed...and stressed yeast can make for a nasty tasting beer.  I've talked to many craft brewers over the years and one common theme that they all mention is that the majority of homebrew they try is woefully under pitched.

     

    A little less important is..

     

    3.)  Fermentation temperature.  I like to get my ferment my ales between 62-68.  However, brewing in the summer months it's often difficult to achieve temps this low without a dedicated thermostat controlled fridge or freezer.  Fermenting up into the low 70s isn't a huge problem as long as you adhere to 1 & 2 above.

     

     

    Great tips - especially #1. 

     

    In regards to #3... I have an American Brown Ale I just brewed a couple of nights ago and the proper fermentation temp is 68. With the heat we have had, though, even my basement is warmer than normal and I can't get the fermentation temp below 70. It will be interesting to see how it turns out!

     

  6. Does anyone brew beer? I've been doing it for a couple of years now and absolutely love it.

     

    I'm working on plans to have a different beer brewed for each Bills game this year (a recipe for weeks 1 & 2 have been created so far)

     

    For Week One I'm planning a Raven Black IPA.

     

    Week Two will be a Charger California Common.

     

    What do you brew?
