all you need to validate is a multimeter. If you have a scope and a function generator, it's easier. How? Setup a circuit that varies Ib of the transistor. Stick some sort of resistor on the emitter. Stick the X channel on the emitter and the Y channel on the collector. Stick your function generator on the collector and DC bias the transistor and sweep Vce essentially. Stick the scope in XY mode. Capture the waveform. Change Ib, capture again. Repeat. If you don't have a scope and a AC source? Well just manually plot the IV curve for a few values.

1TBS!!! BRACEISTS!!!

Nice! Does the 34401A have gpib? I could use a second DMM.... I cannot afford another Keithley though.

Inu also made circuit changes to the batteries that no one else has.

Spritzer, did you ever get yours working properly? I have some oscillation, no 'noise' though. I'm using Dale resistors in the batteries, as the Xicon are slightly inductive I have found. I think my issue is related to the position of the feedback resistors, and I haven't had a chance to verify that.

Also, does Dubbonet in a recipe imply French or Italian vermouth?

So, shockingly good........ Alaska Cocktail (Stork) 2 oz gin 3/4 oz yellow chartreuse Stir and serve in a 3 oz. cocktail glass

I'm sure this is another cocktail, but it turned out to taste nice, but kinda smells funny: 1.5 oz vintage bourbon 0.25 oz mandarine peychauds lump of sugar lemon rind old-fashioned prep

2:1:1 margarita with Espolon Reposado, Napoleon Mandarine and Lime Juice. Better.

Well, it is Austin, not San Francisco. For what it's worth, I have had bartenders at Clock do the same thing to me when ordering a 'dealers choice'. I like that bar though, so I guess you'll have to shoot the messenger Playing with the Neapolitan. Not a huge fan in a margarita or with soda. That vegetal taste Al describes isn't great. Any particular receipe recommendations to try?

Then there is evidence that matching doesn't even matter, take Hannes (h_a at DiyA) often disregarded tests using an AP. I'd expect him to take this route in fact, but again he is simply unaware of anything but his own observations and assumptions.

Patience pays off. Just received the sweet anis (Anisette)!

Just saw the 2011 Handy. The others are in route they say. Also, they will be carrying Pappy soon.

Tried to order, but couldn't get my same current pricing from AT&T. I get a 38% discount and have plans no longer offered. So, calling tomorrow I guess to see what I can do.

Not the same thing. Real Peach brandy is not infused, it is made in much the same fashion as calvados is, from lots and lots of fermented fruit. It's not cheap to make. Regardless, it yummy.

Half a lime, 2 tsp castor sugar muddled with 2.5 oz Coruba rum.

Indispensable!

I just realized that wasn't a cheap drink. It was however fannntastic.

Ooooh, it's Peach Brandy. Only made by a single person these days, Kuchan and only sold by K&L. 2 parts cognac and 1 part peach brandy. It's fantastic. Even better is that is the aged version..

Georgia Mint Julep

Cool! If you need help, just ask!

On EBay occasionally.

I have access to the Harbor Freight oven and kit. Haven't used it, but people say it isn't total crap. Prices around here are decent to get it done professionally, as long as you aren't picky about options and timeframe.

I kinda thought the Cynar and Torino proportions needed to be swapped.
