Good Point RM-MN Bigfoot Barley Wine style Ale. I will keep that in my memory for the next time I am scanning a beer store's shelves.:)

Seeing that Giant Fermentation leaves me wanting some of that :)

Maybe tint the windows of your brewing area this way all of your carboys might benefit or bottles too. Just a thought. I like your idea. I would think tinting would be good for a few hours or the occasional forgetfulness. I use heavy duty black trash bags over my carboys if I need to put them...

bctdi, Thank you for elaborating on my windshield analogy. I find it interesting that plane windshields are a combination of glass and plastic. I've been driving over twenty years and luckily I never had a windshield crack. I did break another carboy since my last post but it was totally my...

I didn't see any dates on it. It was amazing that the condition was so good. I just looked around the internet a bit. I found some of the stoneware bottles selters Nassau. None had labels but the approximate date was " The bottle was likely dated from the late 18th or the early 19th century. "...

I was at a homebrew party last night and my friend showed me this bottle he got from a basement he was cleaning out. They said he could have it. The cork looks good to me. He said that what he could find dated it back to the 30s but he couldn't find much with the name Curacoa spelled Curacoa and...
