Im in for: 1x BD-MOPA 2x CM-2ROW

I liked mine, so have others, look up thru the thread. Very good customer service

Has anyone tried this in a kolsch or Pale ale yet? Might be interesting to try with a pale beer instead of mixing with vodka.

Sounds like you just missed your final volume by a lil. I would count that as a spot on brew day in my book, i never sweat 2 pts.

Someone else actually recommended taphouse to me. thats a lot of different beers!

sounds good. Ive had redhook before, but never had mac and jacks. thats going on my list. anything else on the west coast that I cant get here in the east?

What temp are you planning on fermenting at? too low and the tripel flavor will lose out to the hoppiness, too high and it might get a lil too fruity. its all relative tho, I like fermenting my tripels high towards the last 1/3 of the primary.

We all make mistakes like this at some point. Chalk it up to experience and be happy you didnt waste the hops on a bad batch.

So I'm sure that a lot of other people get this too but I wanted to hear what others thought. I have friends who want to make beer so they do something easy like the woot deal on mr. beer for a first batch(no clue which style)...... but they double or triple the sugar added so they can get a...

Lol an exercise in willpower and the convenience of a poorly insulated basement. They say lagering is good for kolschs anyway
