Nice! I'll have to see if I can make it. :mug:

I have a favourite beer. But it is a seasonal by a small brewery that I live far away from. Maybe if I had more ready access to it I would grow bored with it, but as it is the 4 times I've had it have been amazing.

That's what I do. I have a 3 gallon better bottle. It is just a bit too tall for my mini-fridge that I use for fermenting, so I just use a small little hose as a blowoff tube and it fits perfectly. Here's a picture from a 1.5 gallon brew I did a while ago: (Don't worry, I pushed the...

SLC Punk "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Thanks for the link. Doesn't look like anything exciting is happening while I'll be there.

Oh, I didn't think you sounded A-Holey. (And like jsb, I always pay for the material I use in my website designs).

I'm gonna be in Philly from Feb 11th - 20th. Anybody know if any cool events are happening during that time?

greggor, these are excellent resources. And of course people should be encouraged to use these if possible. But your statement criticising the usage of copyrighted material for these labels is a little overzealous. The people here are not making these labels for commercial usage; they are...

You don't need to make a starter for 5 gallons or less. I never have and the yeast has always worked perfectly for me. You probably won't need four weeks for fermenting. I just bottled one 2 weeks and 3 days after brewing, and it had already reached the correct FG.

You can try Wyeast 2112 or White Labs WLP810. These can be fermented like an ale, just at a lower temperature. It's what's used in California Commons (aka Steam beers). I've used it with other lagers before though, and they turned out well.

OMG! That is awesome! I, too, would love to know a Dr Pepper clone recipe.

Looks tasty. I might brew it up sometime. Why'd you name it "NorCal Ale"?

I would check the gravity after 2 weeks. If it is at the recommended FG, then just bottle it. If not, then you can even let it sit in the primary a week or two longer; you can also secondary it if you really want to go through the hassle. I find that most of my extract ales have reached their...

No snow where I live (Los Angeles), but there will be lots of rain.

If you haven't looked at them already, at least check out the Subarus. They don't have a small Golf sized, but the Impreza is similar to the Jetta size and you can get a hatchback version if that's what you prefer. I've had one for 8 1/2 years with absolutely zero problems (although I have...

I brew 2.5 gallon batches all the time, and I've done a couple 5L batches (~1.32 gallons). Since you live in Brooklyn, there's gotta be a LHBS around. I'd recommend getting the grains local from them, so you don't have to worry about storing them or splitting them. That's what I do anyway...

I think the second from last one could work with a bit of tweaking. Envision it on clear label stock. You print two colors (one the black for the letters, the other white) and leave the spots where the glass is broken as clear.

Uh.. yes it is. See below: Duh, that's what I was saying, did you not even read the quoted text or even read all that I wrote? Obviously the last 2 sentences relates to the one that specifically says growler and all the preconditions. I wasn't saying there is no label requirement for any...

Sorry for bringing this back from the dead... You are interpreting that incorrectly... So if you bring a growler, and pay for it, then they fill it, it is a large glass. Not a bottle. So there is no federal label requirement. It is up to state law.
