    How to Make Beer - Part 1

    Ingredients If you are a beginner, or just want to play it safe, start with a good kit. I love Coopers Kits, as you can tell. For your initial brews, choose a kit plus 500 grams of light malt. Tip 1: Never use dextrose or cane sugar - always use malt.  Light malt (powdered or liquid) is a good start, but just remember that malt ferments less than dextrose, so you may want to work on about 25% more than the ...

Dragon Age Origins

“Dragon Age: Origins” is a mesmerizing RPG from the master developers at BioWare.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23yhcpHCh50

For the most part, RPG fans are going to love what they find. While the story bears more than just a passing similarity to the “Lord of the Rings” saga, it’s not a bad thing, especially considering the replay value. The story changes whether you choose to play as a human, elf or dwarf, and the gameplay changes depending on whether you play as a solider, mage or rogue.

Expect to sink anywhere from 40 to 70 hours into the title based on how dedicated you are to completing More >

The console cabinet is made from 18mm MDF (medium density fibro), and a router is essential to get the correct finish.

I avoided using the T-molding on the edges, opting instead for a clean routered finish.  This has come up really well with the use of oil based primer and top coats.

The console uses an i-pac controller from Ultimarc. I did look into keyboard hacking More >

CRT monitors use a deflection yoke at the base of the tube to control the way the cathode ray draws the image. There is an X (horizontal) part and a Y(vertical) control.

Each monitor is slightly different, but all will have in common two wires controlling X deflection movement, and two controlling Y deflection movement.  These wires are generally soldered to the yoke, however the other end is generally terminated with a socket.
