I've been wanting to try Heady Topper, but alas I am stuck in the beer desert of Kansas. I have some 2010 Abyss' hanging out in my cellar and would like to trade. PM me if you're interested and we can get things going :mug:

Ok, I need everyone to go and vote for my picture so I can win some cool shwag from KegWorks. I have from today until Friday to get as many "Likes" as possible on it. Click here to go to the pic --->The Drink I'm Most Thankful for Photo Contest | Facebook Thanks :mug:

Chshre, have you seen the Widmer Brother's Reserve Brrrbon? I picked up a bottle of it last week, but haven't had a chance to crack it open yet. http://www.widmer.com/beer_brothersreserve.aspx

If you don't make it anywhere else, you have to make it to Black Raven or Naked City or both :mug:

Hmm, that looks familiar :mug:

Finally got around to wiring this thing up with a Johnson Controls A419. I've got two fresh hop ales fermenting in it now holding 68-69 degrees :mug:

I use a pretty similar setup, Coleman Xtreme 70qt, except I fly sparge. I just did two 5.5 gal batches on Friday, both were 10# grain bills. I got 75% efficiency on the first and 80% on the second. I usually get 80-85%, but haven't had time to brew much lately so I screwed up my sparge on...

I've never used fresh wet hops in a brew before, but thought that it's something I would really like to try since I love Fresh Hop Ales. I put out the call on Facebook and a freind said that her brother grows some on his property just for looks. She was heading over to his house for the...

I sent the design in to them to have it engraved. It's not something they offer standard, but you can have anything that will fit on the case etched, laser cut, or embossed on it, you just have to submit a file with what you want. It was super easy.

Guess I should have put that in the first post :drunk: I ordered it from here... e-Panda online store

Here's my new custom iPhone 4 bamboo case complete with an engraved hop cone. It took me 2 weeks to get the phone and 4 weeks to get the case, but it was worth it. It came out looking better then I expected and everyone that sees it asks me about it. :mug:

Two of mine came from a friend that found them in the middle of the woods while camping. The third was from another homebrewer that had cut the top out already, but hadn't made it into a full keggle yet. I traded a 5 gallon batch of my Blonde Ale for the first two and paid $30 I think for the...

I just made my first Saison this week and started it with 3724 on Wednesday around 5PM, SG-1.066 and it was actively fermenting within 3 hours. The fermenter temp was 87F. I shut off the heating pad Friday morning when the fermentation started slowing down and let the fermenter cool to the mid...

I did the same thing. Drilled holes and sanded it all smooth. Works great :mug:

I was in Home Depot and saw that today. I picked it up for under $8 and it looks like it's going to work great. Drilled some holes in it and sanded the whole thing smooth.
