• beer and lake living

    Subj: beer barge

    Rice makes pretty good mash.

    That's how they make Bud and a lot of other adjunct beers, along
    with corn as another adjunct. Typically these beers run up to 30%
    rice and/or corn, but at least 70% barley. Rice beer is clear and
    almost flavourless giving barley beer a light, crisp and clean
    non-bitter taste. Corn beer adds sweetness and a yellow colour. I
    like some rice beers a lot, most notably Sapporo and detest corn
    beers, most notable Coors Keystone. My regular brew Big Rock out of
    Alberta uses no adjuncts, just barley, except of course there's
    wheat in their wheat beer.

    I guess they get suspicious of
    people who suddenly start ordering 100# bags of rice. :-)

    Especially if they also order 2 pounds of yeast but no flour!

    Subj: 903 cats was frames

    I have to admit my gray water runs out onto the ground also.
    I do have a 1500 gallon tank, partially buried, for black water

    I live on the rocky Canadian shield so septic tanks and drainage
    fields aren't possible here either. The cottages on lakes outside
    the city all have grey water discharges. The rules are: they must
    end at least 150' away from the high water mark, the lots are at
    least one acre in size and the government firmly controls the number
    of lots per lake, depending on both their size and depth and how
    many lakes in a chain drain into the same river. Typically there
    will be just one road into the lake leading to a cluster of one or
    two dozen cottage lots and the rest of the shoreline remains
    completely undeveloped.

    This took some doing but I finally found a fish-free shore lunch!

    It must be an oldie as it calls for oleo.

    Long ago my parents bought 220 acres outside of Waco Texas, in the hills. I was visiting from Colorado, where I lived, and my dad and I were wandering around up at the top of one of the hills, great view, when he pointed to a depression in the ground and said "Do you know what that is?" I admitted that I had no idea. He said "That's where the still was." I then realized that when he was a youth in the Ozarks, before he joined the military and WWII intervened...perhaps he did more than farm. But then again his brother mentioned late right drives to town in his car back then also, kind of tied that odd comment to something firm. When I was a kid he, as an airplane mechanic, taught me a lot about how to work with copper tubing, without soldering it.

    the city all have grey water discharges. The rules are: they must
    end at least 150' away from the high water mark, the lots are at

    Whelp...down there once you get off the paved roads...people kinda do things their own way. That's not to say badly. Although I was careful to put the well at least 100' from my buried tank, and that placement, along with outhouses, is considered "polite" to neighbors also. Seems like I read where after about 30' sewage is pretty much done, bacteria have a field day and do what bacteria do.

    Thanks -- I never knew all of that (but I'll bet that Michael did). How
    does one find out what was the basis of various beers?

    We drink a variety of beers, made in a variety of locations. There is
    Abita made in Louisiana, Wertsteiner Dunkel made in Germany, Bud Light
    made in US somewhere, Yingling made in PA, Smithwicks from Ireland (but
    not sure where what we get locally is made), etc.

    late right drives to town [and] taught me a lot about how to
    work with copper tubing, without soldering it.

    perhaps he did more than farm.

    Yep, just maybe!

    grey water discharges. The rules are ...

    Whelp...down there once you get off the paved roads...people
    kinda do things their own way. That's not to say badly.

    put the well at least 100' from [...] outhouses, is
    considered "polite" to neighbors also.

    If everyone used common sense and civility there's be no need for
    rules!

    after about 30' sewage is pretty much done

    Yep, the 100' rule of thumb is quite conservative.
