Glad I read this thread. I bought 2 bottles, and was going to try one young, and age one in the cellar. Sounds like I'd be better off sticking them both in the cellar.

I'm in!

Count me in.

I used that fryer for a while, I didn't like it. It won't fit a keggle, and the timer mechanism is really annoying. I upgraded to this guy, which is cheaper than that masterbuilt: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009JXYQ4/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Fits a keggle just fine, and very stable.

I always buy beer to supplement my homebrew supply. I enjoy trying new beers, or picking up some old favorites. As much as I like my homebrew, I haven't yet come close enough to matching my favorite beers exactly.

I usually purchase a glass at every brewery I visit. Most only sell your classic pint glass, so if they do happen to offer a goblet or something different I'll usually go for that. I also steal interesting glasses from bars (make sure SWMBO brings a big purse). I know, it's morally...

Champane's Wine Cellar in Warren, MI has some available. Don't mind broadcasting that since I already bought 4 sixers :rockin: They're selling it for $13.99 a six pack... cheapest I've seen it yet.

The 120 minute needs some age. Although I enjoyed having it fresh on tap, I think it'll really shine with some time to mellow. I have two bottles waiting for me in my beer cellar.

Sticking my face over the brew pot after my first hop addition. That malty, hoppy steam is excellent for the skin!!!

I'll agree with Revvy that Cap N Cork is a very good store in the Metro Detroit area. Been there a couple times, actually purchased my initial equipment and did my first batch in their parking lot a few years ago at a brewing event. The only problem is that they're a bit out of the way for me...

Sacred and Herbal Beers is one of my favorite brew books. It gives both the historical background of ancient beers, plus the authors recipes on how to recreate them.

The sludge is the best part :) That's what I tell people!

That sounds delicious, is the recipe posted?

Sounds like one hell of a nice day off. What did you brew?

I don't brew anything less than 5% ABV. The reason is that I feel like the "buzz" is part of the experience of the beer. Now, I'm not talking about stumbling around hammered, but enough to relax myself after having a few. Some people have a glass of wine or two to wind down at the end of the...

I was under the impression that the big yellow fuzzy beer companies were allowed to become as big as they are because they were able to quickly fill the beer void left by prohibition. I believe that before prohibition, there were many smaller breweries in the US. Prohibition also led to more...

I don't understand why these company's lie about this stuff. They think they can produce a sub-par product in the name of increased profits, and that they're loyal customers will be none the wiser. Its rather insulting really that they think you'd believe that the bottled version without a...

I usually tip a buck or two on a growler refill if I'm just going in for the growler. If I'm already sitting at the bar, and have been buying beers and tipping all night, I don't tip for the growler fill. My girlfriend berates me when I don't tip for picking up take out. I really don't see...
