Oh yeah, no Loki brewing last night, either.  The energy just felt too... chaotic, so I decided to wait until the weekend, when the moon has settled down.  I have all my supplies gathered, however, so I'm ready.  Couldn't find the gallon jugs I saw somewhere a couple of months ago, but I did find half gallon mason jars, and I think I want to do smaller batches of 3-4 flavors, instead of just 2.  


And Fraser... you were just about right on the money with the cost estimate... including all the supplies (jars, , sugar and flavorings, and such), anyway.  I did kind of splurge on something special, though... and I hope it turns out the way I imagine it might!  :o  :D



Merlin, complaints here do nothing, because mgmt doesn't hear it, themselves... and I'm guessing the police would say the same thing.  The horn sounds exactly 28 times (yes, I've counted it many times)... shuts off for 1 minute, then comes back on and sounds 29 times more... and then it's silent again.  I suppose I could knock on all the doors around me and see if anyone else is woken up by it, and if they would be willing to file a complaint along with me, but I really don't have the kind of neighbors who even talk to each other, much less talk to the police on anyone else's behalf...


ROFL  Fraser!!!  I don't want to set of a car-bomb in front of my freakin' APARTMENT!!!  :o  [facepalm/headdesk]  The shrapnel would end up in my BED, fer cripes sake!!!  ::)  :D (oh, and I have READ the Anarchist's Cookbook... I just don't keep a copy of it laying around...) ;)

Oh! That was the recipe for a car bomb. I thought it was the recipe for a new flavour of Loki...

LOL  Not one I'll be tasting!  :o  Huge difference between that and an Irish Car Bomb, though... but no less deadly.  ;)


(oh, and it was actually the "recipe" for a Molotov cocktail, but it has the same basic effect...)  ::)

nah, its just a Molotov, won't get all splodey. Okay, the tires might, but the fuel tank will just flare-out, not explode, if the car is merely set alight. For a true car bomb, you'll need to take about 3.5 gallons of , 1/2 cup of , a , 2 pieces of , at least as large in diameter as the , 2 gallons of , 1 gallon of , a propane stove or similar, and paper & duct tape. Then, you and hook it up to a . Voila, car bomb

I feel very fortunate to have NOT tasted any that wasn't at least drinkable... even if it wasn't all up to the quality of your brew, Fraser.  Teach makes some marvelous stuff, as do the Bayou Scoundrels, and several others, as well... I just hope mine doesn't make anyone swear off the stuff forever!  :o  :P


Ravic... honestly, I don't NEED that kind of "encouragement"!  I get into enough trouble as it is!!!  ::)  :D



And B... ... ... just (sigh)... never mind.  [facepalm/headdesk/repeat/repeat/repeat]

what? I don't drink, so I have to live up to at least ONE Irish stereotype :D

besides, explosives are FAR more fun than drinking ;)

Now I know why I stick to making mead.
Of course, apparently I'm doing it wrong, since I filter mine until it is clear and smooth.
Someone said that unfiltered is the best. I don't see it, but everyone's got their own thing...

MacIntyre is one of our resident meade makers, and he's not bad at it!  He'll likely post more often when we're a little closer to opening, though...

Waaay back in the Dark Ages (1971), a college classmate, a burned-out three tour Nam Recon vet, got crossways with some fine upstanding frat boys. Guess who the cops believed? Right. So our hero decides to make a point & goes home to McGyver up a batch of quasi-napalm. He chose the frat parking lot for his midnight demo & the resulting fireball was somewhat spectacular. No one was injured. Everyone knew who did it but since all the evidence went poof they couldn't prove it. No one ever messed with him again tho. He later decided school wasn't for him and wandered off.

I'm still yet to taste any Loki...  I had trouble with a college suite-mate... I can't imagine why. Just because I set fire to his room...accidentally, kept tripping the breaker in his room and got him in trouble with the RAs, and drained the radiator of his car. Had there been justice, one of us would have gone to jail, and I don't think it would have been him. The president of the college was not real happy with me, though. I think it really pissed him off when I came back the next year.

Wow... I've only ever set fire to anything "accidentally" once.  But, uhhhh... it was just a small island, and not very much of it burned...and I put out out myself...  :P
