Water was part of my decisions to move (and then move back) to the Pacific Northwest. Also, there's been a lot of great beer here for many years. Including (back to the thread topic, sort of) an IPA (Bridgeport) that, back in the '90s, won the gold in a British competition, back before "West...

In addition to testing results, my water supplier offers this info for homebrewers.

Per hour? Even though I've abandoned glass carboys, and been injured by one, I gotta say: it's possible to overstate (or, yes, understate) the risks. And the benefits.

Increased body (or mouthfeel?)? Higher temp mash was my first thought. Crystal/oats/flaked barley/Munich additions seemed like the other obvious idea. But I was intrigued by the suggestions (from @CascadesBrewer & @Nate R) that minerals (aka water chemistry) could be an important contributor...

Nice build, @Kickass . And those Kegland in-line regulators are certainly both svelte and inexpensive.

Fitting lines through the hole is only one reason to switch to slender EVAbarrier, which may outperform "ultra barrier" in excluding oxygen.

... or mount the regulator externally as @Bobby_M suggests. Sounds like you'd likely have both options with that two door Komos unit.

The double door Komos might work with a multi-body secondary regulator on an inner door, but probably not with 8 kegs. A more svelte regulator without the big, handy knobs of the Tap-Rite, might prevent collision between the knobs and the keg tops.

This seems even more true of Android, btw. Not sure how iOS compares. In my years supporting business use of (Windows) computers, I found that users struggled mightily with the concept of drives, directories/folders, path names, etc. The "gigantic box" style of storage management seems...

It appears that MS will be reducing some of the concerns with Recall, and making it entirely opt-in. Still, seems worrisome.

It's tight, but this works well in my Kegco XCK-1B-4 with strap-handle kegs. Rubber-topped kegs might not fit.

I've got a smaller Chapman. The insulated wall makes for slightly odd fittings, likely metric. The pickup tube looks like this:

Crude guess: 1-3/4 cups, boiled in a pint or so of water, then cooled. Others' advice will likely have greater precision.

This.

Hop Valley Alphadelic. Pfriem IPA.

Anchor was inspirational for me as a beginning brewer in the early 80s. I'm glad to hear it's being revived.

More exciting news re Windows 11, Recall™, and even Arm.

With apologies to Willy the Shake: What's in a name? Four beers, by any other name, would taste as sweet. 4Brew

This strikes me as key, especially for folks prone to addictive behavior, genetically or otherwise. As my grandfather said about quitting smoking, "You gotta make your mind up." He put an unopened cig pack in front of himself at his work, and it just sat there. Moderate use requires one...

"Serious" is a somewhat flexible term. The fact that MS now includes Arm64 in the Windows big tent confirms that "serious" computing is already possible with Arm -- even though not the blistering performance of high end x86-64 Intel and AMD machines (or Apple M[0-9] silicon). Surprisingly, my...
