Hey guys, need some help finding a couple good corny's in Houston. Anyone know of a good place around town to get one for a good price? And speaking of price, what's the average price to be expected these days for one? I know they're not going to be the $20 I got them for a couple years ago...

Well its been a while so thought I might supply an update... Both the strawberry and raspberry turned out very well! The strawberry came out with a very nice aroma and just a hint of strawberry flavor on the back end of the beer. It definitely wasn't overpowering which is something I was...

Hey all, wondering if anyone has an extra ticket they're willing to sell for the 3rd Annual Jester King Funk n’ Sour Fest in Austin on 10/27? Bought a couple tickets but we're one short for our group of friends. Much appreciated if you have an extra, willing to pay a reasonable amount for it...

I really want to do the strawberry beer and I have a few people that I'm working with who want to see how it turns out so I'm going to have to go for it right now. Also with raspberries and blackberries, I've heard that they can give the beer a sweet bitterness or tart flavor, have you have any...

Hey guys, I'm doing my first strawberry wheat beer right now and I have a question about using real fruit or using a puree for the stawberry flavor. I've been reading about using real fruit (on the order of 1#/gal) but my secondary is a glass carboy with a small neck. The real fruit might be a...
