Sorry to hear about your bad experience with the IPA. I picked up their mixed case last time I was at the distributor (ESA, IPA, Brawler, Pale Ale). The Brawler was definitely my favorite of the group. I noticed that their IPA always gave me a terrible headache the next morning - not sure why...

If you have the opportunity please pick up Yards Brawler. It is a fantastic dark mild when enjoyed at basement temperatures. Yards is from Philly so you should be able to find it.

Its looks like you already made you decision, but the Ó Flannagáin Standard is simple and fantastic. Good guy too, so that helps

I'm glad I spent the $30.99 - I'm enjoying a few right now and they are wonderful

I'm glad to hear the beer is turning out well. I think the dry hopping is a good idea - I was thinking that when you reboiled the wort you might have lost some hop aroma / flavor, but the dry hopping should help bring back some aroma.

I guess I'm still lamenting the loss of Vidalias - I used to go there to buy singles and six packs. Within a 10 mile radius of my house all bars seem to have the usual Bud Miller Coors and probably Heineken as their import. There is a restaurant called "The Wing Walker" that has an amazing beer...

I guess things for a beer lover are different in a state that makes it terribly difficult for someone to purchase a 6pack or single. And on those occasions when you find six packs you'll most likely end up with some BMC (not that there is anything wrong with BMC - I don't want to rekindle that...

I must live in the wrong state. On sale today - $30.99 for a 24 of Anniversary

Techniro I super geeked out tonight and installed the kde version of mint. Install was a breeze, and I'm happy so far. I feel like kubuntu neutered kde, but so far it looks like mint did a much better job.

I think I'll just try it out too. Probably not tonight, but hopefully this weekend I'll have some time to mess around with it.

I see that they make a gnome version (their main version). I wouldn't be adverse to using gnome, but I guess I'm more comfortable in KDE.

I need a moment to geek out. Has anyone used linux mint before? I was thinking of trying out the KDE version, and I hoping for some advice from someone that previously used it. I have Kubuntu running with KDE4 now, and I'm not 100% thrilled, so I'm just looking at some other options. I...

Humm.. This thread got me thinking. I'm looking to brew a nice dry Irish stout for myself and I have 1lb of centennial, 1lb of cascades, and 1lb of amarillo in my freezer. If I used a combination of these bittering (60 min) at the appropriate AA level would they impart much flavor? I was just...

This stout looks delicious, and I'm hoping to brew an extract version! Is there an easy way to do this conversion? I usually do a 3 gallon boil. I'm guessing that these can all be steeped: 1.00 lb Barley, Flaked (1.7 SRM) Grain 10.81 % 1.00 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 10.81 %...

I was looking for the right forum for this post, so hopefully it's right. Last night I turned on PBS right before the VP debate. Turns out "This Old House" was on. The segment was about a couple who had water in their basement, and Roger Cook was coming over to help install a dry well outside...
