I've put off procrastinating long enough. I'm getting married in 37 days and I said I would make beer for the wedding. I'm going to make a 2 tap station that will house 3 kegs in ice. When one keg kicks I'll swap in the third. (I only have 2 spare faucets)

For beer I was thinking I would ferment, gelatin, cold crash, transfer to keg, cold crash/store for a week or so, then closed transfer to the final keg. The keg is going to be moved around so much and only be stationary for a few hours before serving, and I want clear beer for my BMC family.

As far as recipes I was thinking centennial blonde, but instead of the last cascade addition I would use some of my nugget hops I grew. I only

So in October I want to fly BWI - PDX with a companion. I have 110k+ pts and the companion pass. This seems very straightforward, except I also have a $200 sw voucher from a delayed flight, that expires in December. I have no other trips planned to spend this.

Can I book one leg (~$200) with the voucher and then the return with points? Do they have to be two 1way flights to do that? Is the voucher good for anything else, like food on the plane? I believe it can be used for the ~$22 in fees I would have to pay for award flights.

So I'm looking for the best budget rod/reel combo for taking on trout/ 10-14" smallmouth/1-3lb largemouth, in order of priority. My friend said getting and ultralight rod would make this more fun and more successful.

The issue is I need the rod to be at least a 2 piece, since I can't fit a one piece in my car. A price range of $50-70 would be nice, but I could go higher if it's justifiable.

Edit I'm in MD/PA and will probably be getting a larger/heavier rod for large bass and saltwater.

I'm just starting out, and buying little packs of spinners and such from Walmart is really starting to add up. Is there a set on amazon of a wide variety of lures that are okay quality? There looks to be lots of cheap sets that are kind of junk quality, though I'm sure I'm going to end up losing tons anyway.

Can anyone recommend an Amazon set that contains a wide variety (I'd like to try frogs/poppers/crankbaits/jigs/etc) that I can start my stockpile with?

How did you guys acquire your 500+ pieces?

Edit- This would be mostly fresh water around MD/PA so bass/pike/panfish/striper etc

Just like everyone else, I made a keezer. Collar is 2x6 pine and 1x8 oak. The hardest part was keeping the 2x6 section perfectly square, and realizing our first miter saw was only 44 degrees.

Danby freezer from Costco, which I tried for a week to adjust the temperature on, but ended up just buying the inkbird which has been amazing. I will be adding insulation to it soon, but it's currently in a 45f garage so there's no rush right now.

It currently has a pilsner on the left and Oktoberfest on the right. I plan on keeping the left one pretty mainstream with lagers/wheat/blondes and having something fun on the right. Thanks guys. :)

I was experiencing some surging at high throttle, and checked via Torque app that I wasn't able to build up more than 10psi.

Went under my car (only has 8k on it) and tightened up all of the intake hose clamps, many were quite loose. This is a reminder to do this now, before they come apart in December and you have to lay down in the snow to do them.

8mm socket BTW.

If you have the AC on auto and it is working to cool the vehicle down, and you're driving above 1.5k rpm and release the gas, do you hear the blower get louder? If this is true for everyone, I'm impressed with this efficiency tech

So the water in my tub won't drain, as well as my kitchen sink. I have used multiple drano products (it used to be slow, now it's stopped completely) to no effect. I have tried the crappy 23" snake to no effect. I have plunged it (while closing off the sink and higher tub drain) to no effect.

What's left? Some kind of heavy duty snake?

Possibly buying a FiST tomorrow. I have negotiated them down to ~19k + tax (6% here so basically 20k OTD) for a 2015 with just painted wheels.

Does anyone have any input on this deal? Think I can go lower? Should I snag it while I can? Will post pics if I buy it, ty.

I recently had to have a locksmith "break into" my car for me. During the process he bent my door so it no longer seals properly, resulting in tons of wind noise coming through. I need to make sure it is still water-tight as well. I may be able to bend it back so it seals better, but I am a little worried about that as well.

In addition to that, the interior of my car is pretty scratched up in a few areas, included a very large scratch on the glass in front of my gauges. I have no idea WTF he was doing up there, and unfortunately that's a place I have to look at every time I drive.

Does a typical credit card protect against shoddy/damaging work? It's a Chase card if that helps, I am g

If I am holding some funds for retirement 30+ years away, and contributing the entire time, do I want those funds to go up or down in the meantime? I find myself happy when they go up, and happy when they're down and I can buy cheap.

Hopefully this is relatable to some of you, because it seems stupid to me once typed out.
