As a Christian (although granted, on the more liberal / progressive side of theology), nothing quite bothers me like “taking a stand for Christ.” There’s a lot of arrogance in that statement - namely the idea that God is so downtrodden that you need to take a stand, but also in the lack of awareness that 21st century

2 gallons is glorious. 15-20 bottles, and I can do it on the stovetop. Someone is making some nice 2.5 gallon fermenters as well now - I may have to pick one up soon.

I'll have to keep an eye for that one. Spiced ales are hit or miss for me, but I'd never turn down a really well made one. Just depends if we can get that down in Georgia.

No spices in Celebration, although you’re right, it could get interesting. Maybe a bad example to pick.

I paid $2.99 for an “expired” 6 pack of 312 pale once. It was good. I’d pass over 6 month old Celebration for something fresher at the same price, but I’ll pay $2.99 for a six pack of almost anything.

As a fellow small apartment homebrewer, my advice is generally to go straight for the brew in a bag route and stick to ~2-2.5 gallon batches. That seems to be about the magical number for me to easily do on my stove. I’m also not a good enough brewer to want 5 gallons of anything I’m making. I don’t think BIAB is much

shit I’ve got to bottle an IPA this week.

ah shit

A few years ago I was hiking the Appalachian Trail and saw a full supercar club pull up.

That’s gross. Trim your fingernails.

Also hard: getting a job in your small college town while everyone else moves away. I genuinely believe that my fiance, our 2 friends, and I are the entirety of the 20-something post grads in this town (this isn’t entirely true but does bring about another point: I know other people that live here, but moving from

I agree! all we have to do is frack for natural gas, then use energy to heat up a bunch of water, and boom! free hydrogen (and CO2).

Hydrogen is really cool because we make by steam reformation of methane.

I listened to This American Life this morning too!

On the stand there are a couple of buttons. I think it’s the back left. Hit it 4 times to knock the brightness down to the minimum. I agree, it’s a very bright time display.

You should go ahead and buy it. It’s literally (and I actually don’t mean figuratively) one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. My fiance wake up about 30 minutes before I do, and normally wakes up before the sound even goes off. Your wife may find this to be the case as well.

I’m a fan of both. The biggest thing with a French Press is a good grinder (which is, you know, the secret to all good coffee), which unfortunately I’m too poor to buy right now. A blade grinder = lots of dust, which turns those last sips into a bitter, gritty mess, which leads me to an Aeropress most mornings.

I immediately knew they were all little shits by the portrait video.

I'll blame my bad shoulders on my dad just being too fun.
