I'm 18yr veteran in the retail wine and spirits industry. In 1999 I co-founded a 20,000 sqft wine/spirits store awarded "Food and Wine" magazine's "Retailer of the Year" the same year. I'm a wine writer, wine/spirits educator with extensive travel to most major wine regions. I'm also a competitive BBQer, devoted husband, father of 2, avid cyclist, die hard Longhorn fan/graduate as well as being a practicing cynical pragmatist.

  • Why am I having trouble keeping my pool clean given the following?

    I have a pump big enought to filter the water 1.5 times in 8 hours and I have a chlorinator/brominator. My pump is running 14 hours a day and I still have algae problems. My pool is serviced and in 5 months its already been shocked 4 times. My guy claims that since the self cleaning system isn't working 100% that the chlorine isn't being distributed and since its warm here shocking will be common. I never had a self cleaner in other warm climate pools and I never had to run pumps this long. I think i'm being taken for a new pump, cleaner and chlorinator. Somebody with expertise please help.

  • Home Recipe for Budwieser. Do you think it would be close?

    60-70% extra light malt extract

    30-40% rice syrup.

    1 oz per 5 gal Hallertau hops for bittering but no aroma hops

    Nottingham or kolsch yeast since they both clear well and taste pretty neutral

    Whirlfoc to clear it up

    A good cold aging after primary to clear a bit more.

    Plenty of carbonation

    This should yield a clean, clear and hopless fizzy lager. Thoughts?

  • 1998 Dodge Ram 1500. New oil pump last year. Now pressure gauge drops when I come to a stop.?

    Gauge pops up a few seconds later. First pump lasted 150K, this one's 5K old. I can't be failing can it?? Can it just be a bad sensor? Lack of oil?
