Another One (sunroof) bites the dust!

I couldn’t be more happy that my unicorn does NOT have a sunroof.

Vent first? Is that to used to break loose a sticking rubber seal prior to sliding back? If this is an issue perhaps a light coating of silicone (NOT petroleum!) grease on the seals as a routine maintenance item?

Yes, you need to do this often.

Yes to this. All of it.

Never understand why someone would want a hole in their roof.

Agree with others. Finding a unicorn without a sunroof is the best decision I ever made.

A good IPA is almost always in order. Unless you can have scotch.

Got a double IPA in the fermenter right now. Just finished one up a couple weeks back and kegged. West coast style. Fermenting now is a SMaSH DIPA with a robust and aggressive hop schedule. great aroma so far.

Not sure why you would have scotch when bourbon is available. Lots of good scotch ages in used bourbon barrels. Good bourbons that age in scotch barrels? Anybody? Bueller?

...for brew I'd add Victory - Golden Monkey (quad).
...Bourbon, Woodford Reserve Double Oaked.

Helps "lubricate" the process.

I am still new to scotch. But I found after extensive research, I like a long por of Glenlivet.

“Quality tequila (made from 100-percent agave) comes in at my top pick for the healthiest hard liquor,” Friedman says. “Unlike most other hard liquors, tequila doesn’t spike your blood sugar, which means even people with type 2 diabetes can drink it — in fact, it may even lower glucose levels and increase insulin production.” Tequila is also relatively low in calories. “One shot of tequila contains only 63 calories, compared to the 96 calories in a shot of vodka,” Friedman says.

Tequila is also one of the more gut-friendly hard liquors, according to Friedman, since it contains dietary fiber and probiotics (although both studies and experts emphasize that tequila is absolutely not a good source of probiotics). “Tequila also contains fructans, which have potent immune-boosting properties,” Friedman explains, adding that fructans have been developed into drug-carriers that help treat various colon diseases. Friedman also mentions that tequila is gluten-free, since it contains no wheat or barley.

The most surprising part? “One of the best attributes of tequila is its ability to minimize hangovers,” Friedman insists. “The primary cause of hangovers are called congeners, which are byproduct of fermentation and aging, making them more prevalent in barrel-aged spirits (such as brandy, whisky or wine). Tequila made from 100-percent blue agave, however, has fewer congeners than brown hard liquors.”
