    Vanilla Beans in the Bottle?

    I have a batch of stout that I recently brewed and bottled in 750's. I was thinking about popping the top on a couple, and putting a vanilla bean (or two?) in, that I'd had soaking in whiskey for about a week. Thoughts?

    Harvesting 1999 Lancelot Biere Cervoise

    So recently, I inherited a case of Lancelot Biere Cervoise from way back in 1999. https://untappd.s3.amazonaws.com/photo/2013_02_11/d20c251a25f1932c6bd5973abcd03981_320x320.jpg I cracked open a bottle and there was a ton of sediment, but the beer was ultimately still relatively drinkable. I...

    How long to let a bourbon beer sit?

    So I kegged my imperial nut brown yesterday and added bourbon. How long should I let it sit (after the two week carbing time) to give everything a chance to even out? A month? Two months? Six months?

    Good beers from Dead Breweries?

    So recently I went river tubing with some friends of mine and got absolutely sloshed. On the way back we decided we needed fried chicken and stumbled across a Roy Rogers (which was a rare sighting anyway). Connected to the parking lot was a liquor store that looked like it had been there since...

    Is this an infection? (with photos)

    I was checking in on my IIPA when I noticed this clumpy stuff floating on top. Any idea what it is? It's not stringy and looks like some sort of coagulation.

    Was at the homebrew shop over the weekend and saw this: http://stores.mdhb.com/-strse-1239/WLP862-CRY-HAVOC-Liquid/Detail.bok Anyone ever used "Cry Havoc" before? I was contemplating perhaps trying some sort of light or session beer with it, but I've never seen it before.

    Brewery Websites - Are you 21?

    So I (as I'm sure many of you have) regularly hit up brewery web sites. A lot of them ask if you're over 21 or of legal drinking age. It that required by the government? Considering the government can barely regulate what people download, I have a hard time believing they police...

    Flip-top Growler

    Random question... Including the metal bits and cap, what would you say the average diameter of the closed-mouth of a flip-top growler is? If someone (or lots of someones) has one they could measure, I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Thinking about a Twinkieweizen
