This last week really tested me. I couldn't make this post before this. Last Saturday, we had to put down a family member. 5 year old tri-colored Welsh Corgi You'll be missed for a long time, Kayni. Blew a disc in her back, pinched a nerve and she lost recognition of her back legs. Technically...

I'm alive, I swear! Just wanted to take this opportunity to tell all the friends that I've made here on WMT, I'm sorry for being MIA. Life grabbed me by the scruff of the neck, and I've been so busy that I've lost 35lbs this summer. Sorry to my fellow Mods, for 'dropping the ball' lately; I...

I wanna get more familiar with untoasted oak & am looking for a quality source. probably cubes if i can be picky, i know i dont want shavings/powder. How about anything other than American oak? :) Lots of that it seems, says Google .. Hungarian/French? Or are they all toasted? Any who are...

I think it was Joeswine who mentioned this in one of his threads.. Possibly the almond wine thread? Not sure at the moment.. I had heard of it before, looked into it and im interested in how it works.. Any information from some of you more technical peeps with maybe some pdf's or...
