There's a "Festival of Ale" at the Higgins Armory on Saturday (11/15). Has anyone been to this before? I'm probably going to head over with a couple of friends. Higgins Armory Museum: Calendar of Events - The Festival of Ale

I'm brewing Northern Brewers Saison Noire, and I'm using Fermcap-s for the first time. It's a very thick milky white, I mean, it looks like baby batter. It says to add 2 drops per gallon at fermentation, but I'm not sure I can even distinguish "drops" it's so thick. Any help would be...

I'm sorry, but this is pretty emotional. A child should not have to feed their parent. My Mom fed me from the time I was born until I was able to do it myself (and quite a bit thereafter; she was making me grilled cheese's until well into my 20's). Yet yesterday, I had to bring the spoon up...

Thanks in large part to all the advice and recommendations from HBTers (I've logged A LOT of hours reading threads), my first batch is coming out great. It's only been bottled for one week, after two on primary. It's an APA w/ Glacier hops. I tried it today knowing it hasn't been in bottle...

Hi everyone. My name is Ken, and I'm a Lowell boy who finds himself in Danvers. I've been lurking the boards for the last week trying to learn as much as I can. I've been enjoying good beer for the last decade or so. Drinking a Belhaven Wee Heavy right now, in fact. I tend to like the...
