    Do they sell the Choco Bock in anything but the sampler now?

    legal for breweries to sell growlers in Maryland?

    Isn't it also illegal for breweries to offer samples? I was trying to schedule a trip to the Frederick breweries for my club and I remember one saying they stopped tours because they couldn't offer samples or something like that.

    Source for Competition Awards

    I'm hosting a competition and I'm looking for beer/brew-related medals to give as awards. Anyone know of a place that sells something like that? I could go with printed ribbons but I thought medals might be cooler. Thanks, Matt

    Name These Hops (Flower ID)

    They might be Magnum too. I seem to remember ordering those. I also noticed that I got more than a few hops with leaves growing out of the flower, which are apparently called "angel hops" or "cock hops," and Magnum us prone to that.

    Name These Hops (Flower ID)

    Can anyone tell what variety these might be? I planted 4 types a couple of years ago but only one came up. Of course I trusted my memory rather than writing them down. I believe they might be Cascade or Mt Hood or ? Leaves are really big.

    Twine question

    OK, thanks. In the first year I only let one bine grow. Now in the second year, I let two grow. I'll probably experiment with it and see what works best for me.

    Twine question

    I have hops growing in my yard. It's the second year. Last year they didn't get all that tall. This year they are already near 9 feet it seems. I have one plant and I put it next to this odd swing frame that is in my yard. It's a large upside down "U" about 8 feet tall made of 4" steel...

    Ahhh!

    OK, i'm doing an all-grain batch today. I don't have a grain mill so I order my stuff online crushed. The mash water was ready, dumped the grain from the bag into the water. After I went to check it the first time, I notice the grain seems to be 'heavier' than it usually is. Then I realize...

    Counterflow Chiller Tutorial

    I just built mine and used if for the first time today. I used 20 feet of the soft copper tubing (couldn't get a 25-foot length for cheap). I built mine exactly like the one described at the start of this post. It worked great. I love it. It is much faster than my immersion chiller. But...

    Buying brewing equipment at a non-HB store....

    I once found 5 gal glass carboys at a discount outlet store for really cheap. I bought a couple of them. Wish I would have bought more.

    Hello from Maryland

    It's not impossible if you are coming out of the military. Usually these schools will let you in because you would be considered a non-standard student. When I got out of the Army I was 24 years old so I was above the age of a standard student (I think the cut off was 23 years old). That...

    Hello from Maryland

    The benefit, though, of paying those taxes is when you come back to Maryland and want to go to college to use your GI Bill, you get to pay in-state tuition.

    Hello from Maryland

    As I recall from my military days, you are supposed to be paying taxes to your home of record, even if you don't technically live there. If you look on your earnings and leave statement, you should see that you have MD taxes withheld. If you have no taxes withheld, you should see your...

    Bottling in unconventional vessels

    I used a half-gallon glass jug (like a juice jug) with a screw-on plastic lid once. The lid domed out slightly but it never exploded. I only used it because I ran out of bottles (doh!). I gave the jug to a friend and it seemed to have worked.
