Definitely on the list

Thanks. I've been to Bar in New Haven, had an awesome time. The menu at n on Prime looks awesome, definitely on the itinerary!!

I had the opportunity to spend some time in Philly, Yards and Victory are just awesome. And I just happen to be sipping on some Mad Elf right now, the best Christmas beer I've every had!

I wish I could go there, unfortunately we'll be going through there either Sunday or Monday and it looks like they are only open to the public at the end of the week, looks like a good place though.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've put all those on the itinerary!

Yea, that's a great website, I've used that on a few previous trips, but the map of the NE is a little intimidating with all those blue and red dots. A little first hand experience is always helpful in finding the really great places.

I just found out I've got a week off for Christmas. Instead of that whole spending time with family think I keep hearing about, I think I'm going to opt for a good old brewery road trip. I'd be leaving from Huntington, WV (the land where Corona is considered craft beer) and heading for greener...

The wife and I are heading to Detroit next weekend so she can run the marathon, any suggestions on must hit breweries? Just from doing a little reading it sounds like Dragonmead is a must. We're also planning on going to Jolly Pumpkin, mainly because our experience at the Traverse City one was...

That's what i've resorted to as well. I think this summer I might buy a small dehumidifier and see if it helps.

Great build! Looks like flawless construction, I'm very impressed. Are you still having condensation problems? I've got a similar unit and I think the fans blowing air into the coffin is bringing in moist air from the outside down into the freezer. I've tried several things but nothing...

Used to live in chicago, this is one of my favorite beers. Definitely missing this one this winter.

It is an American amber ale. I forgot 1oz of horizon for 60 min. Which was about 27 IBUs.

In my second most epic brew fail, I have forgotten the bittering in my latest brew. I got to drinking and had a friend over, I put in one of my 60min hops but forgot the other, which makes up about 80% of the IBUs. Now the beer is fermenting and I'm not sure what to do. Can I make a hop...

I've got lots of cascade hops that are nearing ready to be picked and a small amount of centennial. I was hoping to make a 100% homegrown wet hop beer, any thoughts on a good style for mostly cascade and a little centennial?

I use 6lbs in my strawberry blonde. I quarter fresh strawberries, soak them in some vodka in the fridge for a few days then freeze over night. Then I throw them into a few paint strainer bags and into the keg. I taste every few days until I get the taste I like, usually about 2-3 weeks...

I agree with Jester, I have a fan mounted to the lid that draws cold air from the bottom of the keezer through a hose and pumps it into the tower. I plugged it in so it only runs when the freezer is on and it stays within a degree or two of the freezer temp.

The power has been out all day and while my fermentation fridge usually works great, it doesn't do such a good job when the power is out. So I put my strawberry blonde in a swamp cooler and used the opportunity to build a 2x4 base for my fermentors and run my wires through the drain hole in the...

For those of you who are curious, I thought I'd review the peanut butter stout I brewed. It was brewed 8 weeks ago, kegged 10 days after that. It has a nice head on it when poured but it recedes quickly and remains a thin head until the beer is gone. I would say that this is on par for most...

Nothing else to do. Thanks for the help.

Production date 4/20/11 with intermittent shaking.
