• BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

    What do you do if you cut it and the draw test is bad?

    None at all. I've done this plenty of times. Just be aware that this doesn't always solve the problem. It could be a construction issue which means the only real option will be a draw poker. You'll find that 65%-ish is much prefered overall around here.

    B&M Rest?

    Depends on the B&M. I'm speaking hypothetically as I really don't do much of any buying from B&M's, but if I did, these would be the considerations for how much rest they got. If I didn't know the B&M at all, I would probably rest them for a couple of weeks just for the heck of it. I would...

    Humidor From the Captain of the Titanic Found

    Wow. That's pretty cool. And that's 10K-20K pounds, so more like $20K-$40K

    Seal Team 6 Celebrates with Gurkha

    What a joke. Here's my take on what I see in that release. Gurkha sent some smokes to the Navy earmarked for the folks who did the Osama job. A far cry from "Seal Team Six celebrates with Gurkha".

    Flavor profiles more distinct in CCs?

    This is an interesting statement. It sounds awful definitive (I can't for the life of me figure out what word I'm looking for here), though. I mean if it were truly "lost" then would people even still refer to the individual marca's flavors anymore? I guess I'll be putting my words to the...

    Tampa Memorial Day Golf 'n Smoke

    I'm in the Citrus Park Area which is kind of North West Tampa. Western edge-ish of Hillsborough County. Pretty much directly East of Palm Harbor. Not sure how familiar you are with the area, so hopefully some of that helps. I live right around the corner from the Citrus Park mall.

    Wine Cooler Checklist

    More info? Snowboard wax? I've always thought my door seal was a tad loose.

    Flavor profiles more distinct in CCs?

    Damnit, why are you stealing my idea? I'll take you up on it, but I'm still going to do something along the same lines. :thumbsup: Fair warning, I don't expect to do well with this unless the marcas are ones I tend to gravitate towards. There are a number I've never even tried. Still, I dig...

    Wine Cooler Checklist

    Did you get a calibration kit with the hygro, or do you have one already? Just a thought. Otherwise sounds like you have things covered pretty well.

    Talking to a head hunter today

    Best of luck. How did you get in touch with said head hunter or was it the other way around?

    Seasoning Wineador trays

    Matt, it really doesn't matter what the crystals are designed not to go over. The problem is that they can't suck up humidity. I won't go into the nitty gritty, but even if they are designed not to go above 70% the environment can still go over 70% at which point the crystals can do nothing...

    Anyone prefer flavor/strength of smaller sticks?

    Yes and no. While I agree with Viva's last statement to some degree, I do believe the smaller ring gauge sticks have a more concentrated flavor. If you are talking about smaller in length, with ring gauge held constant then no.

    Seasoning Wineador trays

    Well, I'm not really a fan of the crystal style humidifiers. They don't regulate two ways like beads do, they just release moisture. So for seasoning, by all means. Beyond that, assuming the cooler has a good seal as it should, they may be more of a pain than anything else. As to the sponge in...
