      Seul, when my dad wanted to store wine (for at least several years) he started looking at those specialist wine cooler fridges but thought they were riculously overpriced. An electrical engineer of some kind told him that a normal fridge could easily be modified to work within a different temperature range, and as far as I know that's what he did.

        Boom - need. How does that work?.. How much power does it use?..

        Beer fermenting fridge you say… My oh my do you have some explaining to do...  😃

        It uses very little power. It actually makes your fridge more efficient if you're keeping it a little warmer. It works just like the on-board thermostat, but it kills the power to the whole fridge to regulate the temp. It's basically a big on/off switch for your fridge.

        I brewed beer for a couple years. I probably made about 60, 5 Gallon batches in that time. I was once involved in a beer brewing group and we focused on sour beers that we then aged in wine and bourbon barrels. One of the guys in the group was a pro brewer, and two of the guys have gone pro since. They would take all of the leftover yeast from Belgian beer bottles and add it to the barrels. We had quite a bouquet of Brettanomyces in those barrels. Here's a link to a blog written by one of the guys from the brewing group. http://www.themadfermentationist.com/2011/01/sour-brown-barrel-day-3.html

            I can't seem to find a thread in Bottoms for Iron Heart x Pronto 25oz Collaboration (PIH2DC).

            Should there be one? I'm curious if others have purchased this model, what the fit is like, etc.

              I'm guessing it's because of the speed at which it sold out in ThailandI don't think that many (if any) pairs made it outside of the country.

                Same fit as the previous 2 collabs with Pronto, this time made out of 25oz…..

                            Theory: dropping a bunch of coin on something that will show stains easily isn't something people want to do.

                                Off-white/natty could be another story… especially with contrasted stitching, like say a natural Western with persimmon stitching...

                                  I would never wear a white shirt casually, white is for the office, or the formal scene… And yeah, as Iron Heart is designed to last forever, no white shirts in my experience have lasted more that a couple of years at most, before they start to look stained...
                                  But i am a pale fekker, and thats my opinion!

                                    Does hemming the jeans change the measurement of the hem or would it be just like the measured hem before its hemmed. I would think if I get the jeans cut short the hem would become bigger. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

                                      Here are the sums…...

                                      Take the difference between the knee and the cuff  - lets say 0.5"
                                      Then on a 36" inseam there is 23" between knee and cuff (36-13)
                                      There is thus 0.5/23" or 1/46" or 0.0217" increase in cuff, per inch you shorten the inseam by
                                      Say you cut off 6" and the cuff was 9", then the new cuff would be about 9.13"  (9 + 0.0217" * 6)

                                      Edit.  Fixed because I'm dumb and GMB has a larger brain than me....

                                        Good math, but you would add rather than subtract, right?

                                            The white I have(IHSH-36) I wear less as it's kind of pain in the ass to iron, it's partly see-through, and find it attracts dirt quite quickly….
