Any update on new pick up date? Thanks

I'm about to make a 1 gal starter and I usually add about 12 oz of DME to it. I just realized all I have is about 8oz. Would it be ok adding 4 oz of Corn Sugar to get the gravity up? I'm brewing 10 gal IPA with gravity at about 1.070.

How about using all 3 yeasts?

14105.5 + 10 Gal Oktoberfest 14115.5

A large worm clamp.

Thanks to this board I made my own hop spider but simplified it with a length of 1/4" copper tubing I had laying around. I brewed a Dogfish Head 60 min IPA clone this past weekend and it worked great. I'm not sure if I needed to do this, but I kept lifting it up a little bit to get the hops...

14079.5 + 10 gal. IPA = 14089.5

10 gal Munich Dunkel 12,761 + 10 = 12,771

How the brewery handles a problem is a big factor. The responding e-mail I got from the brewery was very apologetic and thanked me for bringing it to his attention. He really wants to make good on this. Which is great. But, if this happens again, I won't be buying anymore. Who needs the hassle.

I hadn't thought about how it could hurt the whole industry. I was just thinking about the brewery itself.

There's nice restaurant nearby with a good tap selection, and about 10 years ago, I only had 3 beers, but the next morning I had the biggest headache and felt sick for about a day. It didn't a cure to me that it might be dirty beer lines until I was talking to a buddy who had the same experience...

Good point. BTW, I meant to post this in the "General Beer Discussion" area. How do I move this thread?

I recently bought a 6 pack of a locally brewed beer, and it was bad, as in old. It was just a glass of foam and smelled musty. I e-mailed the brewery and someone got back to me within a day, so that what good. I was told that I could bring the beer to the brewery for a fresh 6 pack or bring it...

Me too! :mug: What's a 22 oz. bottle cost in your neck of the woods?
