Late to the party, but please include me!

Hi Everybody. This is sort of late notice--entries are filling up fast--but the 2014 Peach State Brew Off registration is open. You can register, or sign up to help as a steward or judge at http://coverthops.com/psbo The main event will be in Avondale Estates on March 29th, 2014. The day...

Please add me too!

Yeah, that's what I decided to do for now, unless anyone else has input specific for this yeast. It is still largely in suspension, but supposedly this guy is very flocculent. Anybody else see this with wlp041?

Wine Workshop and Brew Center in Decatur now swaps 5lb tanks. Convenient for those on the east side of town that can't make it out to Tucker during business hours. I think they charge 18 or 20$

Howdy, I've got a rye pale ale in the fermenter about 3 weeks in. I used WLP041 (Pacific Ale), which I never have used before (5 gal batch with ~1.7 L starter). The gravity has dropped appropriately to about 1.012 (could go lower I guess, but this is just about where I wanted it). However...

Count me in!

I posten in the General forum, but saw this forum, and thought I could get some suggestions from you guys. What pubs/brewpubs/breweries are in and around Jackson, MS? Where should I make a point to visit? Thanks!!

I'm headed down to Jackson, MS, later this week, and I was looking at brewpubs or restaurants/pubs with particularly goodish beer selections, and I can't really find any by Googling. That surely can't be the reality. So, Mississippi folks, what should I not miss in Jackson?

I've made milds before, but never have I thought of using any black patent. Thanks for the suggestion, that actually may just work for the astringency I want! (Still open for other suggestions though)

I had an English Mild a while back, and it had a wonderful tea-like quality to it. Not sure if it was a little astringent, had some tannin to it, or what. Can anyone help me formulate a recipe to make a mild that would be like that? Thanks!

Use WY3711 and make a "saison." You can call it whatever you want, but it will be really good fermented in the 70's. You'll get peppery notes and nice esters reminiscent of apricot and others. Not as much clove, but I think the spicyness really makes up for that. I have to say, this is one of...

Damn it. Thanks for making me try another QD. Looks like the first liquid disconnect is F'd...And I wanted to blame the old keg. Now, any idea why a quick disconnect would break and shoot liquid out the side? I've only used this one once before...It's a barbed one.

Hey guys, I recently acquired some Firestone Challenger racetrack-lid kegs. I'm having trouble getting them not to spew liquid out the quick disconnect when I plug it into the out post. These are the kind that have the little annoying white nylon washers inside the post. I don't have...
