Went through one of my icon spring cleans and found some I'd done of Jason Isaacs a million years ago.

Yes they're crudely done... but I remember the Tavvy one going down well way back when. Just thought I'd bring them back again ^_^

So I went to checkout some of my subs on Youtube when I came across this clip of The Soup showing a Halloween clip of The Today Show. Ewoks attempt to get drunk, moonwalk and uh... Well, you'll just have to see this for yourself.

The greatest animator of all time, Bruce Bickford, has some Twin Peaks scenes on his website...

I don't have kegging equipment and won't be getting any for a while so I bottle condition all my brews. I'm considering making a batch of root beer (because the good stuff from the store is *expensive*) but the only way I know of getting carbonation (sans kegging gear) is bottle conditioning. To me, this means I have to let it carbonate for a short while, then throw it all into the fridge to prevent the yeast from fermenting it anymore and making a bottle bomb.

Suppose I were to add potassium sorbate to a batch of root beer in a carboy, then bottle it all. My logic is that, because the sorbate only prevents yeast from reproducing, the yeast will continue to ferment, not reproduce, then die off and I'll have nicely carbonated bottles.

I've seen this firsthand when I added sorbate to my mead - it continued to bubble for a few days before finally stopping. Any experience with this or maybe there's a better way?

While we're at it, anyone have a good root beer recipe? We're particularly fond of Main Root root beer.

Ok so I'm experimenting. I'm trying to make a short mead. Theere is plenty of historical evidence that the wine-style meads were not tradtional and are a modern contrivance.

Furthermore, I'm tired of waiting for it to finish and bottle condition to be drinkable.

I'm using a dried  English Ale Yeast. I was too foolish to keep the package or take note of the brand and strain as I should have. I pitched in a bit of the wort/must in a jar and poured it into my primary. The primary has been covered in my closet for a week with an average temperature of about 75 degrees F.

Today, I sanitized my secondary and tools and got to work racking it. Once I racked it and put the bubbler on it...NO BUBBLES!!!

There is an obvious pressure difference when I put the airlock on but no bubbling at all. When I put my previous "traditonal" meads into the secondary there was a lot of action.

Oh my OG reading was 1.40 today the gravity was 1.83. That isn't much change.

The yeast seems as dead as Michael Jackson. Any idea how to proceed. Oh as a side note the wort/must tastes great but it's still cloyingly sweet which says to me that not enough fermentation has taken place.

Could I repitch and just add it to the secondary as is? I was planning on bottling in beer bottles and carbonating like beer with  priming sugar. Could I have killed the yeast. More information: I sterilized with bleach since I was out of metabisulfate.  1/4 cup per gallon but I did rinse everything before adding the wort to the primary and the secondary.

HELP!!

I've made icons for my three manips using a t-shirt manip I made of those "Free Winona" shirts from 2001 (That's right, I get right in on a trend when it's hot!). I've replaced Winona Ryder with poor Stan Shunpike. I made a manip of Luna (using a base of Winona wearing the shirt, because she also happens to be wearing a Luna-esque moon necklace) and a manip of Harry wearing the shirt (using several different DanRad images to make up Harry).

I've also included the original Winona pic under the cut, wearing the Stan shirt.
