I wasn't sure where to post this , so please feel free to move it to the proper forum if it doesn't belong here. Went to the Sam Adams brewery in Boston on Saturday. Didn't have my camera ,so no photos of the brewery. Had a good time and our tour guide was very friendly and informative. The...

My first barley wine. Brewed last night and used safale 04 for the fist time. Took off like a rocket. o.g. 1.101

Just thought I'd say howdy and introduce myself. Flylock jac is my name ,but please use jac and save your fingers some work. I had a friend who got me hooked on his home brew back in the early 80's. After he got married we drifted apart and hadn't thought much about enjoying a REAL beer in a...
