It was in NJ, but it was 2020. That's when I built my chicken tractor.

Are you running seltzer through that?

I do the same thing at home. Also, I make hop infused green tea that is close to a pale ale in taste, but alcohol free.

I started my transformation from a crapavore to an omnivore to a ketovore to a carnivore over 3 years ago. I lost 75 pounds and have kept it off even though I do cheat now & then.

people like nostr:npub15879mltlln6k8jy32k6xvagmtqx3zhsndchcey8gjyectwldk88sq5kv0n inspired me & with info from Dr. Ken Berry on odysee & Thomas Delauer on facecrap.

if I can do it anyone can.

Same story here. I'm down 35# in the last year. Not strict Carnivore, but I have a mostly Ketovore diet with room for a few beers a week. It's not ideal, but it's sustainable for me and I'm steadily, slowly dropping weight in a lifestyle that doesn't cause me added irritation because I can't enjoy anything. The way I see it, it took me years to put the weight on, I'm in no poor metabolic condition that would force me to make drastic life changes, so I can take years to drop it in a sustainable way.

I am 6'1", and was 178# when I met my wife in 2007. By September 2021, I had hit 240#. I'm now 205# and steadily moving down every month.

I jumpstarted my weight loss with strict Carnivore due to Jack and Dr. Berry. I lost 30#, then rebounded for the next few months and put 10# back on before I settled on a Ketovore diet +a beer now and then. Like I said, not ideal, but sustainable. Cheers!

Sugar is definitely a hard habit to break. For me, it really helped to understand what sugar does in the body, and how it's not necessarily the sugar that's a problem as much as how our bodies respond to it. Elevated blood sugar leads to elevated insulin levels. It's really the body's response with insulin that causes most of the problems in our system. Granted, insulin is necessary for life, but when levels get high and stay high due to our over-consumption of carbohydrates, that's where significant health problems start, like insulin resistance, obesity, diabetes, heart disease and atherosclerosis, kidney disease, cancer, and a Host of neurological problems.

Here's a great lecture that explains a lot. He also has videos on how the medical/nutrition industry got Fat wrong. Worth checking out.

I don't have issues myself, but have heard from many people that getting raw honey from a local apiary and taking a tablespoon every day significantly improved theyr seasonal allergies.

Also, eating a low Carbohydrate diet can minimize inflammation and reduce signs and symptoms of allergies.

Good luck!

Good evening Nostriches!

What are the chances the lid is made out of Lead?

Found this while cleaning the house. Got it when my Father-in-Law moved away. It sat on a shelf for about a decade. When grabbed Ng stuff for a garage sale, I thought, that's a cool drinking mug. Why not use it?

Anyway, this is my daily drinker at the moment. Cheers!

I've got twin boys too...it gets easier!

nostr:npub15879mltlln6k8jy32k6xvagmtqx3zhsndchcey8gjyectwldk88sq5kv0n I've heard you talk about Sous Vide and Brisket. I would love to try this. I want to do a side by side with the point and the flat. Any suggestions?

Thank you so much! Prayers are always appreciated. We know there's only so much we can do, and that the healing comes from God.

I'm mostly recovered from my surgery, and will be meeting with another doc next week about another surgery to fix this one. 😒

I was reluctant to get this one done, but the hernia was getting worse and didn't want it to advance to serious complications. I waited almost 2 months for our schedules to work out for this one surgeon, only to have his first hernia failure in about 10 years. God works in mysterious ways.

Yeah man, been there for a long time now. Like many of us, I'm not doing a lot of brewing anymore. You can probably find a lot of used equipment for cheap on the second-hand market ... Facebook, Craigslist, etc.

Best tips for beginners...

Dry yeast is amazing, don't get sucked into the liquid yeast until you get a bunch of brews under your belt. Lot more to go wrong with liquid yeast.

Sanitation is most important, everything else could be perfect, but if one step isn't properly sanitized, it could ruin everything.

Just because you think you screwed something up, doesn't mean you did. Some of my best beers were screwups. Keep following the process until it's clear the beer is bad.

Once you understand the process, the numbers don't matter much. Take all your readings when you start to understand the process and what's happening, but I rarely take any readings anymore. I just do the process and the beer is what the beer is. Don't stress the numbers.

Try to find a local homebrew group. They will be the best resources you'll find.

Have fun. Be patient. Read some books.

Move to Kegging as soon as you think you really like the hobby. Filling 1 bottle (Keg) is much better than cleaning/disinfecting/filling 50+ bottles.
