    Victory Is No More

    What's going to happen to Brammo? What about Pikes Peak and the Isle of Man? Will the Victory Empulse TT become the Indian Empulse TT? Thanks to all of you I now can't get the screaming clown out of my head!

    Victory Is No More

    You source parts from those that can readily supply them. So Brembo, Nissin, and Tokico immediately come to the front of the line for brakes. Then you also have quality and price. The Japanese and Europeans have a very good infrastructure to supply motorcycle parts in volume that the US simply...

    Stanley Black and Decker buying Craftsman brand from Sears

    Harbor Freight now has Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh Pro. The Pittsburgh line tools were manufactured in mainland communist China (aka the People's Republic of China) . The specs and quality standards of these tools were set low so that they could be produced cheaply. HF used short term contracts in...

    Bounce, Just select a slightly lower attenuation yeast. That's mostly what I do here in Sacramento where its hot. Or you could use these https://www.gotta-brew.com/ https://www.brewjacket.com/ If you can get a small enough refrigerator then you can marry that to a Johnson A419, a very...

    Very sad news today.

    A phycologist is a biological scientist specializing in the study of algae, cyanobacteria (often known as blue-green algae) and phytoplankton, this is a sub-discipline of botany.

    Tom, You should try a higher attenuation yeast like WLP090 San Diego Super Yeast. If you insist in very dry then try WLP099 Super High Gravity Ale Yeast. That one can go to 100%! I personally do not like the esters when that last one goes too high...

    I say Tom should try it and compare. Enquiring minds want to know.

    Resolved!: Screwed up big -- trusted the dealer for the first valve check

    If you are under warranty, I would complain to the Yamaha USA. Maybe then I would try a different dealer. You have a few around Orlando.

    Calculate what your final gravity should be. I would assume a 70-80% attenuation. If your OG was high then your final may be 1.028! FG = OG - (OG x Att%) With your OG of 1.093 your final will be 1.019 at 80% attenuation. 1.028 at 70% attenuation. You can increase your attenuation by raising...

    I wouldn't do that if I were you. When you transfer it you will expose it to the air and could contaminate it with wild yeast. The wild yeast will overpower the beer yeast and you will have weird flavors and headache inducing phenols. Just go get some S-04 or some Nottingham and pitch it. You...

    Tom, Quoting from your post: From the S-33 Spec Sheet, Fermentis states: “General purpose ale yeast with neutral flavor profiles. Its low attenuation gives..." S-33 is is listed a general purpose yeast. This yeast is supposed to have a neutral flavor profile, and has an apparent attenuation of...

    I have not tried that one. I have had a hit or miss relationship with Belgians. I will have to find it and try it.

    If you want the sugars to be less, then you want higher attenuation. You have low attenuation yeast so you will have a sweeter beer. (OK so I'm being simplistic but generally thats it).To calculate attenuation percentage, the following equation can be used: [(OG-FG)/(OG-1)] x 100 BTW If yeast...

    Tom, I would use White Labs WLP051 because I do not like the phenolics produced by the trappist yeast. That and I would not mix beer styles. If you want more attenuation then you could try WLP090. It will attenuate as high as 83% with alcohol levels to 15% while still having low esters with a...

    quick and easy answer on coms

    The UCLEAR AMP Pro looks like the most advanced yet. The advantage is not having a boom mic in front of your mouth. You can get a drink or use a flip up helmet easier. They have Bluetooth 4.2 and great speakers. They work with an app for updating and operating so they're easy to use. I would...
