NB got back and made things right. They said it is just a very busy time and they are working with a new system. They also said that a phone line should be happening in the near future. Anyway, they came through.

I have purchased many kits (+50) from Northern Brewer. Their customer Service has been amazing and the three or four times I have called them regarding an order, they have always been very helpful. Recently, I put in an online order late at night, I then did a little more research and decided...

Kettle sour is what destroyed mine.

That is a great idea, I will try that. Thanks.

How do you use a SS hop spider in the Grainfather? The level of my wort would only allow about an inch or two of the hop spider to be submerged. I have been using paint filter bags, but have the SS spider, that I would prefer to utilize. Thought about hanging it down, suspended by a wire, but...

I called them today and explained that I wasn't sure what to do last night, cancel and reorder or reorder today. They said that, because I called so close to the time of the deal, that they would refund me $30. I have always had great luck with Adventures in Homebrewing, they are great.

I plan to cancel and reorder.

I would not miss Dark Horse, it is about 35 minutes from Bell's. I live in the area and visit both weekly. If you are doing Greenbush, I would recommend Tapestry in Bridgman, Liberty in Benton Harbor and continue north on 94 to Paw Paw, about 35 minutes away. You could do Greenbush, Tapistry...

I use a cooling fan that I removed from an old computer. It moves the air around nicely.
