I was hoping to get some suggestions for brewing a beer with a longer fermentation than I usually do. Up to now I have kept my brewing simple dealing with ales and hefs but I have a pretty good pipeline going now so I thought I'd use an empty fermentor to try a longer fermentation beer. I'm...

Sure is nice to be at the grocery store and not even look at the beer section very much anymore. Homebrewing is an awesome thing !:ban:

I'm tired of drinking beer out of the same boring set of pint glasses I've had forever. Any suggestions about stores (not online) that have a good selection of drinking glasses?

Is there a time frame after bottling where there is no longer a chance of having bottle bombs? I brewed a British ale and let it sit in primary for 3 1/2 weeks and had a constant FG before bottling.
