DIY Home Brew: Morgans Hazy Mosaic Centennial IPA-Brewing, Bottling and ...

For this delicious home brew I used liquid malt extract made by Morgan's (Frontier IPA) and dry spray malt hopped light. This sucker turned out wonderful. I used Centennial and Mosaic hops. No boiling was involved or needed at all in this brewing session. The hopping technique was dry hopping. I just simply mixed the ingredients in the fermenter along with some hot filtered water (and cold) and dry hopped the two different hops mixed into one bag. Then used the brewers yeast that came with the Morgans liquid malt extract. I made sure to add the yeast when the wort was at correct temperature. I placed the top on and waited for two weeks. Two weeks later I bottled it. Was ready to drink two weeks after that. This was a no brainer tasty  beer project. Great fun and rewarding hobby. I just use my Cooper's DIY beer kit I got off amazon. Here's the link to it below. This is a great  super easy way to get started.

DIY Home Brew: Brewers Best Mosaic India Pale Ale Made In Kitchen-Super ...

This was a small batch home brew that I made and it turned out fantastic. The taste test in the video was done on the last half bottle that I bottled. It was so good that I'm saving it for a special occasion. Kind of like a vintage wine that you keep on the shelf. As us home brewers know, the beer does get better the longer it sits in the bottle, to an extent. This one was a home run. It takes a solid month or so to make but it goes by quickly especially if you have other brews that you are making. You won't even notice and it'll be ready before you know it. The mosaic hops that came with this beer kit really set this off. The flavor had depth and was quite moving. I knew it was going to be good once I sampled it off the fermenter just before bottling. It only got better with age and a little more carbonation. So to get started I made a homemade fermenter out of a filtered water bottle and an airlock with bung. I had to cut out a larger hole in the top of the  water bottle in order to make this work. I pulled out all the contents of the Brewers Best Mosaic IPA beer kit. The nice thing about this is that it came with specific easy to follow directions on how to make it. You will need a food thermometer if you are going to make beers like this. They are readily available for cheap so go grab one. Temperature is important when making beer so you need to pay attention to it for favorable consistent results. This whole home brewing thing is a blast and saves you money as well if you like to partake of brews once in awhile. The process is simple, make the wort, add the fermentable, cool it down quickly, siphon into fermenter, add yeast and wait a couple weeks. After a couple weeks it's ready to bottle. When it's bottling time (I just use reusable plastic bottles) then add two carbonation drops to each one and twist the cap on tight then let sit for a minimum of two weeks. The results are outstanding as well as very rewarding.

This must-have appliance is an essential part of my kitchen now and I highly recommend it be part of yours. This comes in so handy when it's nasty outside and don't feel like grilling. It's great when I want the crispness of an fried or oven cooked chicken wing yet will have the speed of a microwave. For the meal prepared in this video I used some pre-seasoned wings. They were called wings of fire. I put them right into the air fryer frozen. I made sure that I didn't stack them but gave enough room around each one so they could cook properly. This contraption is so easy to use it's unbelievable. Just put the wings in, adjust your cooking temp setting,  and push the button. You will have fresh crispy party wings in record time. I use this for hamburgers, fries, veggies, pork chops, and many other things. For this particular dish, I ate these tasty treats with some homemade ranch dressing and a couple sticks of celery. I used some Franks Red Hot Buffalo Wing sauce on the side too.

The clean up at the end is so easy as well. There is a non stick surface under the removable cooking screen that makes for ease of food removal in no time flat.

Project Source Brand Overhead Ceiling Light Fixture Installation-Model#0...

As homeowners and handymen we are always faced with having to do upgrades. It's crucial that us DIY technicians know how to handle these kids of tasks. Whether your a Mr. or Ms. Fix it kind of person, if you don't want to pay someone to do these kinds of DIY home electrical jobs than watch my videos on it. This one was a simple light fixture change out. I want to stress a couple of safety items here. First be sure the power is off. Second, be sure the power is off. Third, don't stand on something unsafe such as a slippery chair or bucket to reach up and perform this task. Get a ladder, get a voltage detector, turn off the breaker, turn off the switch, check for current.

Now open your new Project Source light fixture box and lay out all your new parts in an organized fashion. Unscrew the old mounting bracket. There are times when you don't have to do this when you get lucky and the existing mounting bracket will fit your new installation. After unscrewing then pull your wires down a little, inspect them and make sure they are good to go for your new installation. Next step is to reinstall your new mounting bracket into the recess. The same place from which you pulled the old one out. It's helpful to pre thread your screws into the metal mounting bracket as you will be installing this into the overhead. This goes for the little green ground wire screw as well. Using wire nuts, wire your new fixture to the house wiring accordingly. It's sometimes useful to pre-bend your grounding wire in a "U" shape to facilitate it's wrapping around the green ground screw.

Install your mounting screws and slip the new light fixture on them and then tighten. After securing the base part of the light to the ceiling via the mounting screws, go ahead and install the light bulbs. Now the center threaded rod gets installed. Don't worry about which side of the threaded rod goes in first because it bottoms out in the base, meaning, you can only thread it in so far until it stops. Now install the glass portion of your light and thread on the plastic washer, metal, washer and securing nut. Snug it up with a wrench. Not too tight, just snug. Now you can place your decorative cap and decorative end nut on. Now you're all set.

DIY How to Fix a Gas Stove Burner That's Not Working-Simple Fix Using Ju...

If all of your other gas burners are working but one isn't,  it's likely that you have a cleanliness issue in the bottom gas inlet beneath the burner's metal parts on the stovetop itself. It's a very simple fix once you know how to do it. This is a common problem with gas stove burners. If you have a small paperclip handy, this will work just fine. Better yet, if you have a set of torch tip cleaners, even better. If you don't have any, you should buy some. I've provided the link below for a set of these and they are perfect to keep around for when this happens to you. They are so cheap there's no excuse for not owning some, especially when it means not being able to cook.

Before working on this or any other gas system make sure you turn off the gas, even for a little fix like this because you will be somewhat up close and personal to where the gas exits into the "bowl" portion of the burner located beneath the special metal parts. After turning off the gas you can now start removing the components that make up the burner portion. Most of them just kind of sit on top of each other. Once you have removed all the burner parts and set them off to the side you can now take your cleaner from your set of tip cleaners or your small paperclip and ream out the gas oriface in the center at the bottom. Be sure to get a tip cleaner or paper clip that fits just snug as you don't want to force it in there or wind up breaking it off while a portion of it is stuck inside the oriface (then it will never work). Now reassemble the metal parts that make up the burner. Turn the gas back on and light the burner. If it doesn't work at first try the process one more time. If it still doesn't work after that you likely have another issue that is causing the problem and call a professional.



Summary of this DIY fix is as follows:



Step one: Shut off gas

Step two: Take it apart

Step three: Obtain small paperclip

Step four: Clean out bottom gas oriface with paper clip

Step five: Re-assemble burner parts

Step six: Turn gas back on

Step seven: Light burner

DIY Electrical Kitchen Range Hood Removal

Get rid of that old outdated oven range hood. See the steps on how to do it by watching my DIY Electrical Kitchen Range Hood Removal tutorial. The old oven range hood was a Nutone brand oven range hood. It really needed to be upgraded. Removing the old one and installing the new one was a lot easier than I would have thought. This style is not vented. Meaning, there is no sheet metal ducting going to the outside of the house. This style of range hood just blows it back into the kitchen. Some models have filters on them.

The first step is to shut the power off at the breaker. Ensure the power is off with a good voltage tester as well. Here is a link to a video I made on a good voltage tester used for this purpose: https://youtu.be/F1eoiFjvAO4. After you've verified that the power is off to the range hood, it's time to unscrew the lightbulb that in there and bust out your cordless drill to unscrew the electrical box screw to expose wiring. Couldn't hurt to verify again that the power is off just before touching any wires. Disconnect any the wires coming from the main power. Now unscrew the securing screws from the bottom of the overhead cabinets. Take note of the wiring and colors of wires. Most of them will be white to white, black to black, and then the ground. Now it's time to install the new one.

DIY-How to Remove Countertop Ceramic Tile Backsplash

The trick here is not to dig into the drywall. You'll need a pry bar and a thinner one is best. You run that thinner pry bar parallel with the drywall popping the tiles off. Try your best not to actually pry the tiles off as this.

DIY-How to Remove Countertop Ceramic Tile Backsplash

Thinking of removing tile yourself? It's pretty easy as long as you take some precautions. The goal is to leave the underlying surface suitable for re-installation of whatever you decide to install. In this case, I planned on installing mosaic pattern backsplash glass tile and granite countertops. I did not film it years ago, but I installed all of this countertop and backsplash tile so it was tough (emotionally) to remove it as it was a lot of work getting it installed years ago. That being said the idea of granite countertops and a more modern looking backsplash was encouraging during it all.



One tip when removing tile from drywall is that you don't want to use the underlying drywall as a pivot point for your removal tool if at all possible as it can just cave it or rip a big hole you'll need to repair. The chisel (pry bar) and hammer method is best for removal on this stuff. Also it's best if you are not in a huge hurry and can take your time removing this stuff as less collateral damage is likely to occur.



Be sure to wear eye protection as little chunks of sharp tile come flying off. You will get some in your eye if you don't.



This stuff does fly everywhere using this removal method so cover up any holes, crevices, appliances, or furniture you do not want to get tile particles in them.



It's a little intimidating at the very beginning when destructively removing ceramic tile but once you realize that it's all got to be removed, you will just keep pushing forward with the job. Grab yourself an empty bucket too in which to put the scraps of removed tile in as the edges are like glass so a bucket makes hauling it out of your removal location easier. A wheelbarrow would work well too.



Good luck and get to work!
