I only received orders for 5 bags, which I don't think is enough for the bulk pricing from Buckeye BrewCraft. I'll leave it open until the end of the month in case anyone else would like to get in, but I'm not placing any orders yet.
Just fill it in when you can, I haven't placed any orders yet. I'm thinking everyone have their orders in by the 18th and I'll cut off the form and place the order.
I'm about to brew my first batch with my own mill this weekend. I really have no idea where to set it so I figured I'd start at .037. I've been getting 60-65% prior to this (with my LHBS crush), so I'm really interested in seeing where it's at when I brew on Saturday.
Buckeye Brewcraft in Westerville has "Learn to Brew" events every so often, they're posted on their website. Barley Hopsters in Delaware also does demos from time to time with the local homebrew club DOH. I'd be happy to meet up for a brewday and show you the ropes as well! I live in the Polaris...
For those in the Columbus area that are ok with the Buckeye Brewcraft prices, I've created an order form to keep track of all the info. You can fill it out here:

Let me know if anything should...
I've used Ardennes in an oyster stout of all things and it tastes pretty good really, I've got a dubbel on my list to brew soon and it's definitely getting Ardennes as well
So the LHBS doesn't have WLP090, but he can get it by next Wednesday or Thursday. If I plan to brew on Saturday would that give me enough time to make a nice starter? Looks like most large starters take two days at least.
I spoke to Jim, the owner of Buckeye Brewcraft in Westerville last week and he said he would be able to do 2 row for $45 and MO for $59. I mentioned some of the other prices we've been seeing on this thread and he said he probably won't be able to beat them. If the Columbus area people want to...
Yeah, I'd like this one to get lower than 1.020 if possible. I've emailed my LHBS to see if he has the WLP090 San Diego Super in stock. If not, I've got a list of backups ready: WLP007, Wyeast 101, Wyeast 1450, Wyeast 1028.
I don't think there's any reason you can't. Since the OG of this wort is going to be high it will require more than one packet. For "normal" beers, you don't need to make a starter out of dry yeast, but I'm going to need the extra cell count for this guy.
