I missed Darkness day this year and I haven't been able to find it in stores anywhere. However, I do have some bottles saved up from previous years that I'm willing to trade away. I'm looking to trade one bottle of 2013 Darkness plus one bottle of 2014 Darkness for three bottles of 2015...

So I brewed an Oktoberfest 7 days ago with a two stage starter of WLP833 Bock yeast. OG was 1.055 and I had it sitting all week at around 53F. Today I checked the gravity to see how long I have before I need to take it out for a diacetyl rest and measured 1.010. I was expecting something in the...

I have a bottle of 2013 Darkness Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

That's so funny, my wife and I are headed out there next Thursday. We're coming from Minnesota so it will be nice thaw out a bit. I took a quick glance at http://www.seekabrew.com/distro/index.html and a couple that caught my eye were Dogfish Head and Firestone Walker. I'd be interested in...

I just bought a new hydrometer with a narrower (more useful) scale than the triple scale I started out with. I tested in in some 60 degree water and saw it was a little off. I thought "Hey, maybe I'll just tap on the end a little and see if I can get that paper to slide dow..." Crack... $20...

When you have more beer than you and a small army can drink and you're still thinking about what you want to brew next and how soon you can fit it into your schedule.

FYI - This is just a venting/seeing the light/being humbled post. I have been brewing for a little more than a year now. I began with extract and I started all grain brewing (via brew in a bag) after about 5 months. I was pretty cock sure of myself when I made an awesome AG English Bitter...

This is my Red RyePA that I brewed just 12 days ago. Yummy session beer

2013 Surly Pentagram This is my first of five bottles I purchased in February. Absolutely amazing. So pumped that I have four more bottles of this. I was waiting for the right opportunity to share a bottle, but it hasn't happened yet. Temptation got the better of me and now I have this one all...

The Four Firkins in St. Louis Park would definitely be worth the drive from Maplewood.

I live in Minnesota and had a late fall brewing session where I turned on the outside water supply to run my wort chiller (temps were near freezing at the time). Several weeks later, after many days and nights of below freezing temps, I realized that I forgot to turn off the outside supply...

Very nice!

I'm sorry to hear this. I will observe a moment of silence before my next beer. On the bright side, at least you had a chance to enjoy the first three gallons (assuming it was a 5 gallon batch). Plus, as messy as it is, it's probably easier to clean up 2 gallons contained within a keezer than it...

+5 red rye pale ale =56379.5

That was really easy to sign up. I'm excited about this class.

Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale. I might be worthy.

What the what? Is that baby wearing socks with sandals?

I have and use 3, 5 and 6 gallon Better Bottles/Bubblers, but I still use milk crates. I found some nice heavy duty ones from the container store. I'm not worried about breakage, but the milk crates are nice to prevent warping and flexing of the plastic as it's picked up. It also makes it...
