Check out MALT: www.maltclub.org They regularly have meetings in your area. They also have a good email list that has some good info. Wish I could get more involved, but I manage restaurants, and almost everything is on the weekends.

I'd rather not say. Its the local distributor here. Don't get too excited because I cleaned them out.

Should have waited a few more years. This stuff is fantastic. Yes, the hops are faded, but the brett character is full and deveploed. The hop flavor suppports the brett beuatifully. I found this in a distributors wharehouse behind some other stuff, with a moldy, faded label. They have a...

Any one know what Brett starin is used in The Bruery Saison Rue and Victory Wild Devil (just came across a few bottles hidden deep in a distributors warehouse). I am brewing a Saison and am contemplating putting some dregs from either of these for a long secondary.

Brewed a Saison with 3726. I had it in a storage container with water and an aquarium heater that kept it @ 82 for the first 4 days, then up to 88 for 10 days. It started @ 1.053, but is only down to 1.014 (corrected). It was an extract recipe with 85% extract, 15% cane sugar. It was a 1.6 liter...

Having one now, lightly hoppy pale ale. Easy to drink and easy on the tongue. At least that's what I think of it after one each of all three Sierra Harvest Ales. :drunk: But my mouth tis a bit numb

My dughter always wants to help, but saometimes it can lead to trouble. Yea, like when my daughter last year (4 years old) was at the bank with my wife when she wandered off (wife used to work there). She proceeded to tell a small group that her Daddy loves beer, and that she makes beer for...

Back to the reason for your original question. It is industry standard that a pint of beer contain 13.5 to 14oz (a standard pint glass only holds a pint when filled with the meniscus reaching over the rim of the glass), plus 1 inch of head. If you are also calculating profit from a keg, it is...

First off, the laws very GREATLY state to state. In Maryland, all wholesale must be sold at the same price to every bar, restaurant, grocery store, all retail outlets. They can have quantity discounts, but again, must be available to all. Any preferential treatment is illegal. Rebates are...

When it comes to price, selection and abv, its important to remember the wholesale costs of draft beer. Many, many times, the BMC is by far more profitable to sell. A pint of BMC is about $.62, sold for around $4. A good craft can easily cost the bar $3 a pint. Probably HAVE TOO sell around $7...

I absolutely love this beer. What was your final recipe? And are there any changes you would make to get it closer to PSM? Or even better and why?

The bottle dates back to 2006. I have other Dogfish beers I have aged for years that are very good. I really only like there 'experimental' stuff. I think there regular lineup is all under-atttenuated, without any good hop flavor or bitterness. I really 'love' only a very few, but I like to be...

I know it might sound strange, but I bought a bottle of Dogfish Head Golden Showers off Ebay. When I opened it, it smelled just like Chef Boyardi Ravioli's. I thought, must be from the long aging, the smell will dissipate. I was wrong. Even My wife who doesn't drink beer, agreed that it...

I think I've decided to pitch 2 packets 05 (half this batch is mine, the other half is a homebrew buddies), wait one day, then pitch a starter of Wlp-099 S.H.G. I'll start with a beer good for 8%, then add the rest of the malt over three days (enough to get to about 13%). I'll wait a week to...

Did you have to do anything special to get it that high? How long did it take to ferment?

Thanks for the help. Maybe up to 12 gallons to make sure the yeast can handle it as well?

I use those Rapi-Kools at work for 5 gallon sauces everyday. I would not recomend trying them for beer. The plastic keeps them from transfering the heat really fast. They are made to work in 2-4 hours, with the whole container in a walk-in, and they still have trouble doing the job. Save...

Need some experinced opinions on a recipe I'm working on with a fellow home brewer. Trying for a very big porter style to age for about six months. Will US-05 go to 12.8%? Looking for a great sipping beer with porter like notes of the roasted barley. 10 gallon batch 20# Pilsen DME 8#...

If you are looking for a very, very well stocked store, go to Beltway Fine Wines in Towson. They have pretty much everthing. Its a liquor store where they have shopping carts, 12 registers, staff members to help you with your selection of beer and wine (and liquor). It is really the size of a...
