Secrets to Successful Brewing
Secrets to Successful Brewing
My main goal here at Cryptobrewology is to introduce people to the wonderful world of craft beers and home brewing, so I'd be remiss if I didn't explore the possibilities even for those who just want to give home brewing a try, and don't necessarily have the intention of taking it to the next level. In this case, I'm talking about the hobbyist who might give a Mr. Beer home brewing kit a whirl, just for fun.
In many conversations that I've overheard, or have been a part of regarding Mr. Beer, the comments are pretty much the same, "I tried Mr. Beer once, but it tasted bad."
Typically, when people give something a try and it doesn't turn out as expected, they are all too willing to blame the product or the system they used, and not evaluate their methods.
Mr. Beer sometimes gets a bad rap. Prior to sitting down to write this I actually tasted a Mr. Beer West Coast Pale Ale I had brewed, and it tasted great. Not yeasty, not sour, or sweet. It was mildly bitter, with a fruity and mildly floral hop nose. It had all the hallmarks of a commercial ale that I may have bought at the store. No kidding.
The key factors that led to this great tasting batch of Mr. Beer are proper sanitization, yeast pitching temp, fermentation temp, water quality, and patience. Ignore these and you're destined to make a lousy brew, so don't blame Mr. Beer!
Key Factor One: SANITIZE
I can't stress it enough. Sanitize, Sanitize, SANITIZE! Make sure your kitchen counters are clean, make sure your hands are clean, and make sure you use the One Step no-rinse cleanser - included with every kit and refill - to sanitize the keg and your tools. Before bottling make sure you follow the directions and thoroughly sanitize the bottles.
No rinse means "NO RINSE!" There is absolutely nothing left behind by One-Step that can harm you or the beer. Rinse with tap water and you risk contaminating everything you have just cleaned. Don't rinse, just drain.
Key Factor Two: PITCHING and FERMENTING TEMP
The Mr. Beer instructions advise us to use cold water in the fermenter prior to pouring in the wort, and then topping off with cold water before pitching the yeast. There is a reason for this. First, the wort is very hot and you don't want to compromise the plastic keg fermenter, so put cold water in first, as a buffer.
Second, the yeast should not be added to the keg until the temperature is just about 70 degrees fahrenheit. 85 is not just about 70. You can monitor the temperature with a SANITIZED Thermometer, that's what I do, or buy a Brew-O-Meter from Mr. Beer that sticks onto the fermenter, that works.
Topping off with cold water brings the brew up to the full fermenting volume, and will also help drop the temperature of the wort to within pitching range. If you don't have a thermometer, just feel the sides of the keg. If it is cool to the touch, not warm or hot, then you're okay. If the keg feels warm to you it's too warm for the yeast!
After pitching the yeast you want to keep the keg somewhere out of direct sunlight, and where the temperature is consistent, somewhere between 68 and 72 degrees fahrenheit is recommended.
Temperature is critical for proper yeast performance. Too hot or too cold and you can kiss your beer goodbye.
Key Factor Three: WATER
Bottled water or filtered tap water are recommended for a reason. They are filtered to remove contaminants and will ensure a decent quality beer. I watched in horror as a YouTuber demonstrating Mr. Beer showed me how to top off the keg with cold water using his sink sprayer! You're just asking for trouble if you do that. Who knows what microbial monstrosities are hanging out in the end of that thing?!
It's better to just buy a few gallons of bottled water and stick them in the fridge. Case closed.
Key Factor Four: PATIENCE
Sanitization, temperature and water quality are critical components to producing a good batch of Mr. Beer - well, ANY home brewed beer actually - but another important factor, something many of us DIY-ers struggle with, is patience.
Sure, you can have drinkable beer in as little as two weeks with any home brewing process. That's because, generally speaking, the fermentation process is usually complete in 7 days, and it only takes 7 days for the beer to carbonate after bottling. It's drinkable, but it can be a lot better.
What makes it better is aging. Beer left alone in the fermenter for two weeks will settle and clear out a lot. There will be less sediment in the bottles, so less muck to stir up while pouring.
Remember that beer I mentioned? Do you know how long it was in the bottle? I waited a tad over two weeks before bottling, so the beer had cleared out considerably in the keg. Once bottled, I waited one week before putting the bottles into the refrigerator to halt carbonation*. I tried one beer each week after that.
The first one was a little "bready." That's one complaint I often hear about Mr. Beer. The yeasty odor is common early after bottling in any home brewed beer.
The second beer was less yeasty, but it had a slightly sour character.
The third beer, my most recent, had been in the bottle for about three weeks. That's FIVE weeks since the day I brewed it.
Patience is a must! Don't pour out your beers after only giving them a couple of weeks to mature. Commercial craft brewers let their beers rest, or age, in the bottles for three or four weeks before they hit the market. The full flavor of the beer needs that much time to develop.
To summarize, don't knock Mr. Beer. You can get good results brewing your own beer. Brew it right, brew it clean, and be patient. You'll find that the product isn't the problem, it's the brewer's technique and patience.
* I read somewhere that it's a good idea to chill the beer to halt carbonation, but if the beer has fermented fully before adding priming sugar and bottling, the yeast should have only enough to carbonate and will stop on its own. Also, this trick might work for ale yeast but lager yeast will continue to ferment at lower temps if sugar is present.

Mobile Telephone - The Most Important Invention of the 20th Century?
Mobile Telephone - The Most Important Invention of the 20th Century?
Depending on who you ask, the mobile telephone is either the greatest invention of the twentieth century or the most annoying. It is undeniable that the technology behind the mobile phone is one of the greatest inventions and that advances in technology keep making the cell phone more and more a must have device.
Mobile telephones have changed the world of communication. From the first call made in 1946 on one of only a handful of portable phones to any one of the millions, probably billions of calls made today, the mobile or cell phone has changed the course of communication forever.
Day to Day Life
Before the invention of the cell phone people went about their daily lives in a constant state of questioning - even if they didn't realize they were doing so. When a friend or family member went on vacation they wondered if the trip was made safely. When a child left for college parents wondered if they made it without car trouble. It is doubtful that people even realized they were always in a state of questioning.
The mobile phone changed all of the questioning. Now, mothers could call and find out if their children made it to their destination without any mishaps. Husbands could tell their wives when they were running late.
If they weren't wondering about someone's whereabouts they were wishing they had remembered to tell them something before they were away from their office or home phone. Perhaps it was to stop and pick up the kids or to go by the bank because they loan officer called. Whatever the reason, before the invention of the cell phone, they would have to wait to see them and then send them back out to take care of the issue.
Mobile phones have made keeping in touch across long distances easier than ever before. For the most part, the cost of calling across long distances is much less expensive using mobile phones than it is using land lines. Many cell phone plans have free long distance.
Emergencies
Cell phones have changed access to emergency services. Car accidents are called in by more than one person on most occasions and help can be dispatched to the scene faster than ever before. Having the power go out or phones lines cut by an intruder no longer leaves a person in isolation, they have the cell phone for calling out.
Cell phone service has been responsible for saving more lives than has been accounted for. Were someone attempt to put a number on it, it would undoubtedly be in the millions, simply due to being able to contact help no matter where you are located. Doctors can now stay in touch with their answering service at all times, making them more available in the event of emergencies.
Cell phones have become key pieces of equipment in search and rescue operations. The chances are very good that a person who gets lost will have a cell phone. The cell phone can be geographically traced using navigation tools and GPS which is built into most new cell phones. There have been numerous cases of hikers lost in the woods who were only found due their cell phones.
Law Enforcement
This same navigation/GPS technology that makes it easy to find lost people also makes it easier for law enforcement to track down fugitives or missing children. More often than not, criminals forget that cell phones can be traced. They leave invisible footprints in their wake for police and others to follow. These footsteps, in the form of pings sent to communication towers from their phones also become important in prosecuting cases.
In addition to tracking down criminals, law enforcement now finds out about crimes faster than ever before. The hesitant citizen who doesn't want to get involved physically involved in a happening crime will most often call it in to the police. This gives law enforcement a head start on catching criminals.
Cell phones that include video recording can actually film the crime as it happens, offering evidence that is irrefutable in court.
Business Communication
Gone are the days when a business deal is lost because of not being in the office. Nowadays, business deals can be sealed even when on vacation. The mobile telephone has made the office open 24 hours a day in some cases. Being out of the office is no longer an option because most business people are tethered to their office through their cell phones.
Technology has brought the office to the cell phone with the addition of smart phones and email via the telephone. Documents can be sent, reviewed and sent back all while being on the go.
The Flip Side
On the other side of the cell phone debate are those who argue that cell phones monopolize people's time. With cell phones the work day is never over and time spent with family or friends can be constantly interrupted unless the device is powered off.
There are safety issues as well with cell phones. Drivers who can't wait until they are stopped to have a conversation run a much greater risk of being in an accident. Using an earpiece helps the problem but does not eliminate it because the focus is still on the conversation.
Another safety concern that is still up for debate is whether or not they are bad for overall health. Some doctors claim that having a cell phone up to your ear constantly can cause brain tumors. While the jury is still out on a definite answer, it is worth looking into.
Then there is the rude factor. Diners enjoying a quiet, relaxing dinner most certainly don't want to hear what is going on in other people's lives and cell phones have done just that. Most people don't exercise proper phone etiquette and the buzz, ring or tones of cell phones can be heard just about anywhere you go. The Future

How to Plan a Successful Playground Design
How to Plan a Successful Playground Design
There are many benefits to children having safe playgrounds to play on. As well as promoting exercise, they are able to have fun, use their imagination and learn life-skills. If you are considering a playground installation then there is clear guidance to how the process should evolve. Adhesion to this process will inevitably result in a superior finish.
The most important advice for planning a playground is to take your time. If you are rushed into any decision-making then it is likely that the end result will not suit your individual requirements. There are so many options and designs that it is important to consider them all prior to committing to the final design.
Another element that will help lead to a successful result is the involvement of the children that are using the space. Allow them to create their own ideas of how they would like the equipment to look. This will make sure that they value their new play space and will enable your chosen playground company to tailor the designs to available products. It is well-understood within the industry that idea generation from children can be incredibly resourceful and inspiring.
Following on seamlessly from this is the acquisition of a reputable playground company. They will support you through the entire process and will be directed by the strictest guidelines in relation to safety. Their experience will allow them the opportunity of tailoring your designs to provide further benefit.
A site visit will be conducted which will allow your chosen company to determine the space they have to work with. This will allow them the opportunity to discuss possible limitations or opportunities. It may be that you need guidance with regards to the exact products and equipment available. All of this needs to be tailored to your budget constraints and individual requirements.
From this point a design will be generated. This is often the stage where there is a lot of tweaks and discussions in order to achieve the best design. At this point the imagined concept will come to life. Both you and the children involved will be able to see what the end result will look like in the actual space.
Once a design is agreed it is then for your chosen company to organise an installation date. It is often the case that best-served professionals will look to arrange this based around your existing commitments.
It is important that you are kept up-to-date throughout all stages of the design and installation process. Time invested in this process will ensure a successful finish. Look for organisations with informative websites where you can see the previous work that they have completed. Ensure that they have a positive internet presence and a range of communication methods.
This information has been put together in order to offer guidance when designing a playground. This takes into consideration the actual design process and supporting advice that will ensure the smooth running of the project.

With the advent of the Internet, online sport betting has transformed the very definition of sports gambling. Traditionally, it has been regarded as a general activity for sports fans to participate in occasionally, which would heighten their interest for a particular game or sporting event. This activity would also benefit the leagues and teams of interest because there would be a bigger television audience and greater attendance numbers at the games themselves.
Back in the day, the only places you could even engage in such activities (in the United States) would be Las Vegas or other casinos where gambling was legal - and where there were numerous bookmakers standing by more than willing to accept your wager. However, the Internet has since opened the door for a worldwide online sport betting industry where gambling restrictions are weak or otherwise nonexistent.
You may be wondering: Is online sport betting legal? The answer is yes, and it can be done through an online sportsbook. Over the last decade, hundreds of Internet sportsbooks began accepting regular sports wagers from all types of bettors.

Most are headquartered in Central American countries or on Caribbean island nations where not only they allow bookmakers to accept bets, but sports betting in general is a commended activity because the institutions provide strong financial benefits for its employees, especially in the smaller, poorer countries such as Jamaica and Costa Rica.
The best online sports betting sites advertise their companies through the mainstream media in the United States, such as in sports magazines, college newspapers, or on other general gambling websites. This is because the target market for these institutions are American sports bettors, especially because of the popularity of betting on games in baseball, basketball, and football.
However, as legitimate as they may seem, one must take caution before choosing an Internet sportsbook. They could be operating in a country with loosely defined laws or in one that doesn't govern their regulations. Some are run by poorly financed companies, which would result in a high risk for bettors to safely wire money online to the sport betting sites and into their bankroll. The best betting sites generally have a few other companies that are all linked to a strong financial institution, such as the BetCRIS Group (Bet Costa Rica International Sports), which has been regarded as the industry leader in the offshore business.
In general, since online sport betting is readily available for sports fans and gamblers alike, it has been steadily growing as an entertaining activity to take part in and is increasing in popularity everyday. Today, there are overall fewer risks when placing a wager at a reputable sportsbook than there used to be before gambling came online. Sports betting has always heightened the interest for a particular sporting event, and will continue to adhere to the overall popularity of all games worldwide.
You can see how online betting provides the opportunity for anyone - regardless of gambling experience - to participate in a legal activity that can open the door to make easy money betting on sports. Online sport betting has made it very convenient for gamblers to make sports bets with Internet bookmakers in the comfort of their own home, and most betting sites offer a variety of valuable resources to use so that you always have the best chances of winning your bet.

Basic Boat Maintenance Tips
Basic Boat Maintenance Tips
Clean Your Boat!
One of the simplest yet most important tricks to keeping your boat in tip top condition is really quite fundamental. Look after your boat, and it will look after you. Marine scum and salt water will damage your boats finish and could easily increase fuel consumption by up to 30%. Ensure marine grade soap is used to protect and promote a healthy finish. Use a long bristle medium stiffness brush for boat maintenance, making sure to avoid stiff hard bristle brushes that will hurt your finish.
Change Your Oil
Oil changes should occur every 100 hours or every season, depending upon which comes first. Although a simple part of boat maintenance, this chore can often feel overwhelming and may even be overlooked. Following this step-by-step instructional guide will make the chore more bearable.
-Run the engine(s) until warmed to at least 130 degrees
-Drain the oil using the pump, or into the pan
-Replace the plug or close the valve
-Loosen the oil filter on the engine until it can be turned by hand
-Put a Zip Lock Baggie around the filter, and unscrew the rest of the way
-Use a paper towel to catch drips from the filter's mounting
-Seal the zip lock baggie keeping the filter upright
-Put it into the new filter's box
-Using your finger, wet the O-ring atop the new filter with fresh, clean oil

Check your propeller
Ensuring your propeller is in good working condition is vital to the overall performance of your boat. Propeller blades need to be removed multiple times throughout the season to ensure discarded fishing line has not become tangled around the propeller shaft. If fishing line has been caught, have your local dealer inspect the gear case as gear case leaks are NOT a do it yourself job. Inspect propeller for dings and scratches as these can reduce performance by up to 10% (chipped paint is okay)

Clean Your Boat!
One of the simplest yet most important tricks to keeping your boat in tip top condition is really quite fundamental. Look after your boat, and it will look after you. Marine scum and salt water will damage your boats finish and could easily increase fuel consumption by up to 30%. Ensure marine grade soap is used to protect and promote a healthy finish. Use a long bristle medium stiffness brush for boat maintenance, making sure to avoid stiff hard bristle brushes that will hurt your finish.
Change Your Oil
Oil changes should occur every 100 hours or every season, depending upon which comes first. Although a simple part of boat maintenance, this chore can often feel overwhelming and may even be overlooked. Following this step-by-step instructional guide will make the chore more bearable.
-Run the engine(s) until warmed to at least 130 degrees
-Drain the oil using the pump, or into the pan
-Replace the plug or close the valve
-Loosen the oil filter on the engine until it can be turned by hand
-Put a Zip Lock Baggie around the filter, and unscrew the rest of the way
-Use a paper towel to catch drips from the filter's mounting
-Seal the zip lock baggie keeping the filter upright
-Put it into the new filter's box
-Using your finger, wet the O-ring atop the new filter with fresh, clean oil
-Screw on the new filter until just finger-tip tight
-Follow the manufacturer's recommendation as to tightening with the wrench
-Re-fill the crankcase with new oil (see your engine handbook)
-Be sure to add a quart for the filter
-Wipe up any drips

Internet Addiction Treatment - Five Tips for Choosing the Right Psychologist
Internet Addiction Treatment - Five Tips for Choosing the Right Psychologist
The term "internet addiction" was coined in 1995, but it was proposed as somewhat of a joke, and was not meant to be taken seriously. Online access at home was a relatively new development and people who checked their email several times a day may have proclaimed themselves to be "addicted" to the internet.
Today the concept of online addiction is seriously debated among psychologists and psychiatrists and may eventually be included in official classification manuals of mental health disorders.
Individuals who have difficulty setting reasonable limits on their internet habits (for example, online shopping, gambling, video games, pornography, chatting, web surfing, etc.) have started to seek treatment from mental health professionals.
Those looking for suitable internet addiction treatment from a psychologist or therapist should keep the following five points in mind.
1. If possible, choose someone who specializes in the treatment of internet, video game, or online addiction. The treatment of internet addiction is very new to the psychological community, but requests for help are growing with each passing day. Five years ago it would have been very difficult to find a psychologist who had any experience treating internet addiction and virtually impossible to find one who specialized in this form of treatment. Today however, the number of specialists is growing and many psychologists are gaining experience helping people with internet and video game addiction.
But, what if an internet addiction specialist is not available?
2. Choose someone who is comfortable working with other forms of addiction - gambling addiction in particular. Compared to alcohol or drug addition, the psychological principles underlying excessive gambling behaviors are more similar to those underlying the various forms of internet addiction. Also, the techniques used to treat gambling addiction may be more easily modified to help those addicted to the internet.
3. Consider choosing a psychologist who is younger and perhaps more familiar with the technology involved with internet addiction and/or online gaming - even if he / she does not specialize in helping those addicted to the internet. Choosing a younger psychologist certainly does not guarantee that he / she will be familiar with the technology, but a psychologist in his or her 30s is more likely to be knowledgeable in this area. It is fairly important that the psychologist has at least a basic understanding of modern technology and / or online video games. There is a trade-off of course, as younger psychologists will generally not have as much experience compared to those who have been practicing for many years.
4. Try to choose someone who takes internet addiction seriously and does not automatically dismiss unhealthy online habits as simply the expression of a deeper psychological issue. Excessive online habits can be triggered by other issues (e.g., depression), but it can also lead to and co-exist with other psychological difficulties. Internet addiction should not automatically be thought of as a symptom of another disorder.
5. Consider choosing a psychologist who practices primarily from a cognitive-behavioral (CBT) orientation. In brief, CBT is a form of therapy that relies heavily on empirical validation, challenging unhealthy thought processes, and implementing behavioral interventions. To date, CBT has generally been considered the modality of choice for video game and internet addiction treatment.
