The beer can be saved, but hubby is probably beyond redemption*. I'm guessing you already bottled the stout and it's not carbonating? This can be frustrating but you can remedy it. Hydrate some dry yeast in sterile water, mix gently, uncap the bottles, squirt a few ml of the yeast slurry in and recap. * j/k - hydrometers…

agreed. I use a HRM and Energy usually comes to around 150

I wish I could find it around here. Usually I can only score some in trades, and it's well worth it.

I'm really no expert, but I'll throw this out there and others can comment on whether they think it is a good idea. Also, for what it's worth I managed to get into my 50s without ever thinking about how to do a squat, so by the time I started I may not have been quite as nimble. I have some low back issues, and doubt I…

I trade on BeerAdvocate, and there is a very active trading community there.

51 here, and log daily. I also have two bottom-less pit teenagers so I can relate. Adding you, but anyone can feel free to add me as well.

I wish I had anywhere near the expertise of most on this forum. But since you're not getting any other feedback I'll chime in. I have a similar problem - L4-L5. I do not have pain when bending over, but if I do too many forward bends, I will have crippling pain for days afterwards. The idea of doing a bar-on-back-weighted…

Agree with the suggestions about an infection - although you won't get sick from it. A great free online book that covers lots of topics can be found here: http://howtobrew.com/intro.html If you're looking for extract kits, lots of sources online including: http://www.northernbrewer.com/ http://morebeer.com…

sorry, here it is for reference: To begin the 1st class program: 10 pushups with two second pause at top and bottom 10 let me ups with legs straight and feet on ground 15 back lunges on each leg with three second pause at bottom hold a static push up position for 1 minute krokador: it sounds like you've been doing this for…

listed in the book, p 142, right before the program descriptions.

So first a couple of questions about the off flavor you're getting - when you say "cleanser" do you mean something a plastic, or band-aid like flavor? I am assuming you bottled this batch - how long has it been in the bottle, and did it have the same sort of taste going into the bottle, or has this off flavor gotten worse…

yeah, they're tough and they really isolate your triceps! At first I felt the same way, like I just couldn't lower myself down far enough, or keep my hands close enough, to feel like I had good form. I did a few sets with elevated hands just to feel like I was doing them properly. I've been working through the basic…

Hey congrats! When I got married 20 yrs ago I made 6 kegs of homebrew for the reception - 2 pale ale, 2 hefeweizen, and 2 porter. So we didn't have a wedding specific theme for the beer, just a variety for different tastes and that worked out pretty well. It sounds like a lot but we had about 200 people. It's hard to…

Not really sure what you can get, or what you like, but some ideas based on things I like from breweries in NE Alchemist (very limited distribution even in Boston, but definite score if you like IPAs), Allagash, Clown Shoes, Gearys, Jack's Abbey, Long Trail, Pretty Things, Smuttynose. White Birches and a shout out to some…

I've seen it plenty (and it's fabulous!). If you're still looking I'd consider a trade.

I love Indian food. Not sure if this is what you're looking for but some decent vegan recipes here: http://21daykickstartindia.org/mealplan/index.cfm

I love the workout, and think it's been great while dealing with injuries of my own. I go meat-free for long periods of time out of personal preference, but would have trouble going dairy free and never even considered gluten free. I don't follow the DDP prescribed diet either and just generally log in MFP and try to stay…

sorry to hear about your knee! my wife was thinking of starting it too and worried about the same thing. How do you modify for table, broken table, etc?

I find silk brand almond milk to have this slimy mouth-feel that I don't like. I also find that any commercial almond milk can get an off flavor I don't like. I don't know if it's a freshness issue, or what, but I am not crazy about most of the commercial almond milks. Fortunately, it's easy to make with a blender and…

interested - and I log diligently

I have two teenage boys and not only do they both play MC, but I play it with them. I'm not going to try to defend the game, but it is fun! No way you'd ever get me to play the Sims. It's not unusual to see my kids research building styles of different northern European cultures and then building areas with similar design…

Made this last night and it was really good. Thanks so much for posting it!

Brewer, beer judge, generally just love the stuff. Started out brewing since I loved Belgian and English ales and couldn't get them any other way (20-ish years ago), but now my of my faves are brewed in the US. I had no idea there was a craft beer group, but will definitely check it out!

Congrats! Sounds like a great day. You may want to check the settings on the pedometer - if that time and distance is right, that is something like a 7.5 mph pace. I'm not much of a runner, but I do wish I could run that fast. For a walk, that would be pretty fast for sure. Still excellent though!

CNY, right here

I've been traveling the past two weeks, working 12 hr plus days, and have another week on the road before I'm home for a while. Believe me I know what you mean! This is what works for me. First off, I just don't allow drive through food to even be an option. When I eat out, I look for things I like that I know are full of…

My goal is 1490 (before counting exercise cals) and my journal is open. Feel free to view or FR. Interesting to see other guys with goals around this level. I thought I was the only poor slob that needed to be around 1500 for loss!

Have you been tracking measurements too? You might see progress there even when it doesn't show on the scale. How are you estimating the calories burned on long rides? If you're using MFP defaults it might be an overestimate. Sometimes I have a hard time believing the calories burned when I log anything cardio. You might…

This is what we need folks http://www.virtuix.com/ can you imagine an open world like Skyrim or Borderlands or a pulse quickening romp through Ravenholm with this and some VR googles? Fitness problems solved.

I have issues with the same disk and I know how hard it can be. But as hard as it is, it's important to do whatever exercise you can because ultimately that will speed your recovery. My back hurts all the time, but it's even worse if I don't work out. Hopefully you are eligible for physical therapy and you should use their…
