I entered two beers in this competition (first time entering this comp), a Dark Mild and a Cranberry Special bitter. I just wanted to post to say how impressed I am with this competition so far. I just got an email yesterday letting me know that my beers were received and checked in for the...

Been looking around at kegerators for a while and came across a BM23 that is about 4 years old for $700. What do you think - good deal or not? I don't really have a space that would fit a chest freezer or I would go that route. The BM23 can hold 4 cornies plus CO2 and they are built to...

Just came across this tonight and bought my ticket, sounds like a good time. Mundelein Community Connections and Tighthead Brewing Company will host the Mundelein Craft Beer Festival on Saturday June 9th, 2012. The event will benefit Mundelein Community Connection, a 501c3 corporation...

Freaked me out. First off I went to Target to get Mario Party 9 for the kid. I walk in the store and the thing is a freaking grocery store. I know that a lot of Targets have groceries, but I was just at this one a few months ago and it was a normal Target and now it is half groceries and...

So is anyone entered in the 2012 Babble Leap Beer Brew Off? This was my first competition that I entered last year. Submitted three entries again this year - APT Barleywine, Chocolate Pecan Porter and Yamtastick Sweet Potato Amber. Anyone planning to be at Ram for the competition? I'm...

Is anyone going to the Great Lakest Brewfest in Racine WI today? I have never been before but it looks pretty awesome. (http://greatlakesbrewfest.com) Had 4 entries in the Schooner Homebrew Competition this year and part of the reason I'm going to GLBF is to pick up my score sheets from the...

Did anyone else enter the Mundelein American Cup Homebrew Competition put on by BABBLE? I just got my score sheet back today, I only had one beer to enter that fit in to the limited (American styles) categories that they had. Took 1st place for Fat Dirty Blonde Honey Cream Ale with a 39.3

Is anyone planning on entering the BABBLE Brew-Off 2011? I have never entered any competitions before, but since this one is local to me and I can just drop off my entry at the LHBS, I think I'm going to submit a few entries. Probably will enter my Cranberry Dry Irish Stout and maybe my IPA...

Any good brewpubs in San Diego? I'm heading out there next week and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations.

I was just at Costco (in Glenview, IL) tonight and they have 3 liter jeroboams of Two Brothers Heavier Handed IPA for $50. I had to talk myself out of putting that in the cart a few times. Would have loved to have tried it, but ~100 oz is a bit much for me to drink in 1 sitting.

Just wondering if anyone has converted this to a kegerator? If so how many ball locks fit? Kenmore 5.7 cu. ft. Compact Refrigerator

Found a hell of a deal on Craigslist - I'm supposed to pick it up tomorrow. It is the Northern Brewer 5 gallon keg system with new keg + 5 lb. CO2 cylinder (both about 2 years old)+ small fridge (unknown age) for only $125. I'm very psyched!

Has anyone had a good experience with a cranberry beer? I've searched around and haven't found a lot of posts on it most haven't reported back to say if it was great or terrible. Was planning on brewing up a stout this weekend and I am contemplating adding cranberries in the secondary, or...
