Forgot about this guy in the closet for a long time, fortunately airlocks stayed filled. In April of 2012 I figured I'd mix it up and racked it onto 3lbs of sour cherries and added some stepped-up Jolly Pumpkin dregs. Gonna have to give it a taste and see what's happening...Considering I...

Actually never got to brew this one, I deployed and then kind of forgot about it. I'm really happy somebody tried out the recipe, and glad it was a hit! I may have to give it a try in the near future...

Wanted to give a thank you to jkarp...after over a year and a half of planning and changing my mind on what I wanted to do I brewed on my rig for the first time yesterday. It's ugly. I used leftover wood to build it and after all the previous ideas I had planned and scrapped, I built it...

Anybody out there tried it? Picked up a 22oz bottle from the local craft brew shop and fell in love with it, and have started tossing around ideas to make a similar brew. From New Belgium: Le Terroir is a french term meaning “of the earth”. Used to reference the environmental conditions...

Update, for anyone who's interested... -Brewed 30 Aug 2010 -Transferred to secondary after two weeks. Deployed and left it, forgotten, in a corner of a closet. 10 March 2011 Came home to an empty airlock, was somewhat worried about too much oxygen. Nice pellicle had formed in the last...

Well, it seems I fed yall some misinformation...I THINK it was Petrus Aged Ale. If thats the case, it was indeed imported, and actually is a blend. Thoroughly enjoyed by me, and it'll be on the top of my list when I get stateside. Trappeze was a great place, if you ever find yourself in...

That's not it, but those are some great looking beers. Next time I'm down in Ga I'll have to make a little road trip to investigate what all is being made down there. It was at a beer bar near UGA, Trappeze Pub. On draft, I believe. Super sour. Didn't have the depth of a flanders red or a...

Hey guys, Hoping someone out there could reconnect me to the beer I'm missing. I tried it at a beer bar in Athens, GA (so it has southeastern distribution). It was a pale-type ale, except it had a strong sourness with almost a hint of apples (from the sour maybe?) Light color, clean head...

Brewed this one yesterday, looking forward to seeing how it ages. Anyone who's made this have any updates?

Made this recipe a few weeks ago for a shrimp boil we're hosting for the 4th. I went went with all Vienna malt. After a week in the keg, just pulled a sample- this is good stuff! Carbed and ready just in time for the party! My fiancee is a Bud Light Lime type of gal, and even she likes this...

I didn't remove the inside of the door, just cut a hole for the temp controller to fit through it. Pulling back the weatherstripping, it looks like the inside plastic piece is glued in place. I'd think you could work your way around the seal and pop it off, but I'm really not sure. The door...

I recently upgraded my frigidaire by putting my love controller in the door and bypassing the thermostat. It was a pretty simple addition, just spent a little time investigating with a multimeter what wire did what. A reinforced dremel cutting blade made quick work of the door. Between...
