    I got these cool copper markers and put them on some cedar stakes I made. The color in the pic is way off, they are bright copper

    Hop growing in CT

    Update for this year. Zeus and Cascade are killing it. Sterling came back ok, and I had to replant new rhizomes for Mt. Hood and Willamette. Also, did some shrub trimming and got some nice looking labels.

    Maine Beer Co. Lunch IPA clone?

    I've calculated over 90% with 1056 before. I pulled out all the tricks in the book but it happened. Low sac rest, 2nd shot of O2 at 12hrs in fermenter, sugar add at high krausen.

    Brett Beer Fuzzy Baby Schmucks - Peach Brett Golden Strong

    I haven't found one yet but with the NEBCO reference and the base style being the same I figured I'd ask. I plan on brewing it next weekend so I'll post a new thread if things go well.

    Brett Beer Fuzzy Baby Schmucks - Peach Brett Golden Strong

    Any chance this started life as a 668 clone (sans Brett and peaches of course)? If so, was it close? Sorry if this is a little OT.

    I'd like to grab this one but I can't confirm a second from the list until Friday evening. Hello, If you'd like to hold off for specifics on the list, please pass for someone else to grab. But if you like my distribution (and maybe a couple more IPAs) shoot me a PM :)

    Looking for used glass beer bottles

    I'll check when I get home for how many I have. I'm sure my wife will be happy your asking. They are all brown and labeled. I work at Pratt so you can pick them up any workday during the day. I wouldn't ask anything for them but if you have any extra fittings to help along a tap system build...

    Ginger beer (alcoholic)

    I don't think corn sugar will help boost sweetness unless you are stopping the yeast somehow. It will only bump ABV. What if you used a maltodextrin DME to boost body? I'm not one to use artificial sweetener but if I was lactose intolerant I bet I would use em.

    Dandelion Beer Recipe (Input Needed!)

    Honey is in, I was down to 1.012 at the 56hr mark :eek: It must have gotten a little warm, of course this is my 1 carboy without a thermometer. That or 'Mercian 2 is a super quick attenuator (first time using it). Hydro sample tasted ok. Very pale straw color, like a Berliner weiss. I guess I...
