    Back wheel on my Chameleon has cracks on a couple spoke holes. So, I've been on the DL for two weeks, waiting for a new 27.5" replacement rim. No new mtb's in the shops (except for some very high end models)/ parts are all back ordered. Crazy Times!

    This one works as well- http://18503.live.streamtheworld.com/KTCKAMAAC.aac

    Thanks! this looks like a great app. I'm an android phone user, and it looks like they only have an ios version. I'll check it out on my ipad though. I sometimes record streaming audio with Applian's replay media catcher on my pc. Then use windows task scheduler to automatically move the files to dropbox, for streaming to to my phone/ networked devices. A little more involved to set up, but, it does a good job.

    For the Little Ticket listeners on the TuneIn Radio app, it appears they have recently disabled the ability to pause/ 30 sec skip backward/ forward, if you are using the built-in Ticket streaming link. Same with a number of other streaming stations. Guess Cumulus/ radio powers are cracking down. Solution to this is enter a manual URL for the Ticket, and save it as a favorite. Launch from the URL and Pause/ 30 Sec. Skip functionality will be restored. However, Record does not work.

    Nothing fancy- just a good midwestern, tavern-style pizza. Johnsonville is consistent/ nice and greasy.

    Mutti's is good (and, Jimmy's also has Don Pepino's, which is also tasty), but, I like to get Cento Tomato Puree (you can find it at Wal-Mart), and add salt and sugar. Thin crust dough (Basic recipe w/ Italian sourdough yeast, w/ a little neutral yeast for some extra spring), Johnsonville Italian Sausage, and the highest quality/ highest fat Mozzerella I can find (currently, using cheese from Business Costco fwiw, or, in a pinch, regular Costco Mozz cheese, or, Sargento/ Kraft from the grocery stores). Longer you let the dough ferment/ condition, better it is- up to a point. High Temp bake/ pizza stone in oven. Pretty good for home-made pizza.

    Finally kegged my Zwickel Lager made with Kveik Oslo yeast. First pull is pretty clear (seast settles well), and tastes a little bit sharp. But, it's only been force carbed for a day and a half, and still needs to lager for a few weeks. So, I anticipate it mellowing out. Still can't believe how fast this yeast works- at room temp (which is on the low, low side of the recommended fermentation temperature range.)

    Kveik Oslo lager ready to keg. Used 3tsp of starter slurry in 5G of wort. Fermented out in 24-36 hours. Eager to see how the flavor comes out--- ale or lager-like.

    Used to love going to Tony's for enchiladas when I lived in the Heights. Great place. Remember that they had some high-octane margaritas.

    Fanf'ntastic- Well done!

    That's absolutely the way to go. I bottled for way too long. Depending upon the size of your kegerator/ and assuming you can fit two corny kegs into it, get at least a double regulator. You'll get to where you have two kegs on tap. I have a Taprite T752HP, $95 on Amazon Prime. Works great. Set up w/ red gas hoses and ball locks. Cheapest new CO2 bottle I found was at Specs, think it was $70 or $80, and came filled. $17 tank swap-outs there too (they don't fill on-site/ and the bottles are decently full of gas vs. others). Get a decent length lock/ hose/ picnic tap, along with the plastic tube portion of a gravity bottle-filler (fits inside the picnic tap perfectly), and you have a workable growler/ bottle filler. Bunch of threads on how to set this up. Plenty of used kegs out there from brewers/ ex-brewers. Easy to replace gaskets/ seals. Also, Austin Homebrew has used cornies for $49 and new ones for $75.

    just logged in--- ay carumba. #2- to vinay727; and in good company w/ chitowndoc, betsy and cool hand colt--- How can this be? ...I'm usually donating beer (and coke) (and geritol- armybrat) money to the board.

    Agree- running R7-2700 processors in a Cooler Master N200 mini tower and in an Elite 130 mini itx box (desktop pc and video/ backup server). No problems w/ the stock AMD fan.

    St. Louis is cool. Had a really good time at Urban Chestnut's bierhall in the Grove last fall after golfing in the morning. Zwickel Lager (helles) and Stammtisch (pilsner) go hard to the paint. Bunch of other really good beers there too. http://urbanchestnut.com/home/

    First brew of the new year--- Kolsch going today. Hallertau Mittelfrueh hops and WLP029 yeast. Going to ferment this one a little bit cooler than usual and see how it turns out.

    Very Nice! Going to put my Irish Stout on gas this week- haven't brewed a stout before. What kind of pressure you running? (I force carb, then turn down to 13-15psi for my ales/ lagers. assuming that should work...)
  24. LosIllini
    80F here, but, brewing an Irish Stout for the winter today. Going to use some Kveik Hothead slurry I saved from a starter last spring. D/K if I have enough, but, we'll find out...

    Rudy's Turkey Rub is really good on bird. Used to be a copycat recipe for it floating around on the net that's pretty close. Think it had Poultry Seasoning, Salt, Black Pepper, and Garlic Powder.
