Kinda bummed. My last batch of Lager is flat. Not enough sugar when I bottled it I think. I am going to try to save it by adding more tomorrow and letting it set for a week. I tried some new carbonation tablets. Like a cough drop but just sugar. 1 per quart but apparently not enough. If I have to pour it out it's just 2 gallons.

That sucks suds. Lots of experimenting. I guess, your a smart guy I'm sure you will figure it out.

The first 3 batches turned out good. I should have stayed with the table sugar and a measuring spoon. I have a couple more kits though and 2 more Orange Shandy kits coming. 5 gallons a batch and I am on my last quart.

5 gallons? I guess you give a fair amount of that away?

Taxes, Ouch! I have been reconciling last years check book and taking inventory of leftover parts from the tool business. My wife is the accountant. Never marry your accountant! LOL

Agree. I slept with mine for years.
It makes for a lot of nights on the sofa.
 
Did a bunch of calculations for the new 3.92 rear gears I’m putting in the SRT. Looks like my rpm will go up by around 650 on the highway with the new gears. I will be at 3050 rpm at 80 mph in 5th gear (OD). Redline is 6200 rpm

Seems good to me.

LOL Yep. The Shandy was good enough I would set down and enjoy a quart in one setting. Wish you all were closer. You could help me drink some. I need to stage my brews so I have some to bring along if I make it to Carlisle and Farmington. (and the Nats and Mopar MAx and Mopars on the Mississippi) Damn, I better get busy.

You’re going to need a bigger cooler...
 

My apologies for being absent and jumping in to ask a question, but I need help with a car buying decision.

Particularly from a broker, does anyone have time to talk on the phone? If not I totally understand.
