Thanks! I quickly read it and for some reason thought the pm'ing was for countries other than the US/CAN...

I went to Amazon and it only shows a 20% coupon. ???

I tried this once but for the life of me I couldn't pick up my lawnmower and shake it!!!! :slp:D

I was under the impression that the carboy handles were *not* to be used with carboys with wine in them...just for washing and moving empty ones. Seems they would put unequal pressure on the sides of the neck.

Thanks a million for that info, @BigH. I just don't know what I'll use yet, though. I've got plenty of old barbed wire I could use but had rather not use that for obvious reasons. I'm not against using the inline strainer but the ones that I've seen don't see robust enough for 9-gauge wire...

Guy's, football is just a game. Sadly it has gotten to be a very $$$ one. Up until probably fifteen years ago I didn't give a hoot about football of any kind. I'd watch a few important games (Iron Bowl, championships, etc) through the years, but did not follow it all season long. Then at the...

HEY!!! Nobody said nuthin' 'til the game was over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chickens....<grin>

Ok, there's a thread going on in the beginner's winemaking subforum... "Drinkable wines while waiting for others to finish aging". But, I like beer, too, but have never brewed any. I'm thinking of brewing beer to help "span the ages". I'm a wimp and normally drink Coors Lite.:h And, I...

Yeah, redundancy seems like wouldn't be a good business model...especially if the businesses are competing with one another. Ah well, in a few years we'll have one source to go to...Amazon. Then in a few more years, who knows?...maybe Alibaba. Things sure have changed from when I was a kid!

It's kind of like the Alabama-LSU game today. If you're a gambling man and like to fly by the seat of your pants and disregard the odds then bet on LSU for the win (don't re-sanitize). If, on the other hand, you like to bet on a sure thing and have the odds in your favor then bet on Alabama...

Ok, I should've done a search...this is old news. :e https://www.winemakingtalk.com/threads/earthquake-abi-buys-northern-brewer-midwest-supply.54963/ Seems like they could at least get their email addresses correct. :D

I tried to log into my Midwest Supplies account this morning but it wouldn't let me. It gave me a message that the website had sent me an email to reset my password, but...I've yet to receive that email. A little while later I decided to hit the "CHAT" feature...the window popped up and I...

Yeah, I'reckon I'd say it that way, too. Thanks for the <grin>. Our minds are incredible things...it's a shame we don't really understand them. ;)

The usual... Gun, some McCormick seasoned tenderizer, some salt, a little pepper, flour, peanut oil, mashed potatoes, a salad. Well, you get the idea. As for fencing, a TALL mesh fence or a good double electric fence. They're hard to deal with. I'm going to be planting the vines soon. I've...
