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 the next few weekends 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.

Had a feeling it might be something like that. Thanks for sharing I'm not on FB so I didn't catch it. -

Is it just me or are these harder to find right now? I know they're available but it seems like nobody has more than a vitola or two, if that. For example, Smallbatch hasn't had the coronas any of the times I've checked over the passed couple months. One of the shops down here hasn't been able... -

BOTL Weight Loss Thread
No though I eat fairly low carb so it's normal for my weight to jump 3-5 lbs after a refeed then return to normal in a day or two. I have done some of the water manipulation protocols fighters and bodybuilders use though. You can shed upwards of 10lbs in a week and put it all back on in nearly...- HIM*

The catch is in order to get into ketosis your body first has to deplete its glycogen stores which hold about 4x their weight in water. Once this has happened and the body realizes there aren't more carbs coming in it starts to transition to a different fuel source. This is why you hear stories...- HIM*

BOTL Weight Loss Thread
I grew up watching my mom keto diet. It does work for people but I have a few issues with it. The problem is a lot of people get off keto and balloon right back up because they don't really know how to eat right. By limiting carbs it reduces muscle glycogen stores which in turn lowers water...- HIM*

Try mashing the avocado up and mixing it with some rice cooked in chicken stock. Season with garlic and chili powder with a squeeze of fresh lime. I'm not crazy about avocado by itself but I eat this dish all the time. Reminds me of taco salad. My favorite is adding in some ground turkey breast...- HIM*

BOTL Weight Loss Thread
I do the exact same thing for the exact same reasons. Though if I'm really on point I do it at night before I go to bed. Just makes everything fall into place a lot easier. Keep up the great work! That's a real solid start. If your doing things right in the gym, eating right, and being...- HIM*

BOTL Weight Loss Thread
Officially started my cut this week which I plan to run through Halloween. Only going to be at a ~300 cal deficit but won't be eating back cals burned from running. I'm keeping my carbs up a bit to help me look a bit fuller and no so depleted. Plus it leaves room for a little beer [emoji2]...- HIM*

Homebrewers - Whats Fermenting?
Sometimes there's something elegant about simplicity. Reminds me of the Liga bands. -

Homebrewers - Whats Fermenting?
^ truth lol. I've never had anything that big that didn't need the down time. They start to show their colors much sooner but still cant compare to something that's had the extra time to mellow and meld. -

Do you have an O2 set up? If you can give the yeast some more oxygen it will help keep them going at all that sugar. I think wine makers just stir the must so that might even be enough to work. -
Homebrewers - Whats Fermenting?
Oh yea that's going to be rocket fuel for a while until it ages out. I love a good mead but it takes way more patience than I have to do it right. Cyser is as far as I'll go lol. We had our annual Brewfest yesterday and things went pretty well. My Berliner was the only watermelon beer there out... -

It's definitely one of those preference things. The most crystal I ever use is like 7-8%.
