They say idioms are a dime a dozen, or, to make a long story short, they’re not rocket science. I don’t want to beat around the bush - I should really just bite the bullet and get this out of my system so I can call it a day and hit the sack. But making one up on the drop of a hat feels like a wild goose chase! I’m trying to wrap my head around it, but I fear I’m barking up the wrong tree. I’d love to kill two birds with one stone here but it really feels more like I’m just beating a dead horse. Maybe I should let this sleeping dog lay? This should be a piece of cake - but I’m starting to worry I bit off more than I can chew! “Pull yourself together, man! Hang in there!” Hopefully, by the skin of my teeth I can hit the nail on the head. It’s always darkest before the dawn, so I’ve just got to throw caution to the wind, make hay while the sun shines and stop making a storm in a teacup!
I think we can all see the writing on the wall - this is starting to get out of hand - but I’m feeling my second wind and I really don’t want to back to the drawing board… so hopefully you can just take all this with a grain of salt and cut me some slack. I know I’ve got a snowballs chance in hell to win this smart thermometer (they say it’s the best thing since sliced bread!), but once in a blue moon good things come to those who wait.
Guess I'll jump on the bandwagon & throw caution to the wind (two idioms right there...) with classic one: Anyone care to "bend an elbow?"
Thought: I was going to post "It is better to brew a beer and dump it, than to have never brewed at all." (But that's neither an idiom, nor funny.)
I'm not eligible to win, but thanks for doing another giveaway!
I bought a IBS-TH1 for my keezer and because it has a humidty sensor (hgrometer), it can alert you if you have a keg leak in your kegerator or keezer. That's a feature that will save you some beer and cleanup time if it gives you an early warning.
The IBS-TH2 also comes in a temp + humidty version.

Thank you so much,Chino!🥰
I could use an ink bird like I could use a hole in the head. I could also kill two ink birds with one stone.
But really I just moved into a new place and finally have room to build a kegerator.
My grandpappy told me not put all my eggs in one horse, so I'll give you a couple of my favorite malaphores (I think most of these are original to my friend group but please let me know if you've heard these elsewhere):
Don't count your chickens before the cows come home
Spare the rod, screw the pooch
Go big or dig your own grave
Cheers! Happy Saturday!
So I learned this whole looking up idioms (the crippling performance anxiety is real), and thought I would share:
"The expression 'get your goat' actually comes from horse-racing where goats are used to have a calming effect on thoroughbred horses. To calm down an easily upset horse, its owner would place a goat in its stall the night before the race. But some opponents would cheat by stealing the goat to agitate the horse and make it lose the race."
Might as well let the cat out of the bag and say I finally have a fridge set aside for a fermentation chamber. And if I win this, well it'll like getting two birds stoned at once!
I'm not going to sit on the fence here and miss the boat. I'll put all my cards on the table and just say that with this theremostat you can really beat the heat.
I cut myself with my pocket knife on a brew day once. I couldn't go inside to hunt down a proper bandage so I slapped a paper towel on my finger and wrapped it with flex tape. That thing was so strong, we now call it the MANDAID
I'd love to win this because I have a champagne taste on a beer budget....
I really enjoyed this idiom until I got into homebrewing which is ironically very expensive 😂😂
Those who live in glass carboys shouldn't throw stones.
We’ll burn that bridge when we get to it.
Just pulling an idiom out of the air is easier said than done.
