I would recommend checking out first what they have in CO that you cant get in Chicago. http://www.seekabrew.com/distro/index.html is a good start as you can compare the differences and then ask him to get what ever may peak your interest :)

I have heard that they are not bad yet I have not actually tried one myself. If you love NB so much, may I ask why you would consider a different brand/supplier?

I have one that is similar to the first one you posted and it hasnt failed me yet. If its cost youre worried about I would consider the first burner and with the money you save get something else that you need :)

Do you happen to have a brewing program? If so, I would plug everything in and gauge the color, bitterness and what not and take it from there.

exactly my thoughts.

Yea I would think that the all the sugars are not being turned into alcohol leaving which in turn could leave a syrupy/malty taste. Do as they have mentioned above and make a starter as well as calculating your OG/FG and this should help. I just made a scotch ale where I actually added syrup...

Thanks a lot Scott for your comment. It does provide me a piece of mind and while the post was noobish in context I do my very best to ensure all elements of my brewing from start to finished are done as sanitary as possible. It does provide me some peace of mind and now I am just counting down...

Hey all, I have a quick question which I am sure can get cleared up quickly. I've read through the forums and I know that while nothing may grow in vodka, it is not to be used as a sanitizer. Well, my dilemma lies in the fact that I brewed a mead on leap year and while at work my roommate...

Im a CCB fan boy and this is def a beer I cant get enough of. This would be my choice:

Im entering mine with the Central Florida Home Brew Club soon. Itll be my first time and its a 80 schilling scotch. Congrats by the way! :)

As Redskin fan I am hoping that he does not go to DC and that we work to either get Flynn or RGIII. :)

Happy birthday!! Hope you have a good one :)

hmmm i chose to not use the blow off as good yeast can get 'blown off' no? Instead I upgraded from my 5 gallon glass carboy and bought a 6 gallon better bottle used to make 5 gallon batch. It rises...doesnt hit my air lock...and then drops. I use the glass carboys for secondary

I made one this past thanks giving and it all depends on the side. A rule of thumb ive always heard is when the breast is 170 your good but then again you need to take into account that almost always it takes the dark meat longer to cook. To counter this, I left the turkey out prior to smoking...
