I better get on this in order to have it drinkable by xmas.

It was sometime in August. A guy I work with cut it out and brougt it into me. It was mostly about homebrewing in central PA, but discussed the local microbreweries. It was a good article. Took up several pages.

In Augsust I brewed an Oktoberfest. I tried to lager it by keeping in a water tub with ice bottles in it, but that didn't work so well. The temp was inconsistent between 50-60* for almost 2 weeks. I then racked it into a secondary. It had some off flavors. Couple weeks later I checked on it and...

I'll sign up for this.

I thought this was a tasty brew. Nice and toasty. Good for cooler weather. I will need to brew it again soon.

I have heard that wheat beers do not age well. I am not sure what their shelf life is though.

There is an article in the Harrisburg Patriot News where a nano brewery is opening up in Camp Hill, PA. I saw a post from someone from Camp Hill near the beginnig of this thread.

this may have to be my Christmas beer.

I have been trying to decide what to brew and I know it is getting to the point where the Christmas beer needs to be in the primary. Some people might say, past time. I already brewed a pumpkin beer, but that is my fall/halloween/thanksgiving beer. Thoughts for a Christmas beer is an eggnog...

thanks here are some pics of trips past http://family.webshots.com/album/568164964dlUuPv http://outdoors.webshots.com/album/555263148oiiAPa It's amazing how it looks now compared to what it looked like then. One of the most ironic things about Masten, is that back when it was a town...

Do you have links to the pictures you found?

There is one I heard of in western PA that is under a lake on the Allegheny River and sometimes when there is a drought, the town is exposed.

lol Short bus is a funny idea. I was thinking of calling it Ghost of Masten Pale Ale, but not very funny. My hiking group as always been known as the boneheads and I was thinking of calling it something to do with boneheads. I have been wanting to make a German style pale ale and Pennsylvania...

the name of the town is Masten. That is all that is left behind, foundations and a lone chimney, railroad beds and other relics if you know where to look. It has long been reclaimed by mother nature. It is the trailhead of the Old Loggers Path, which is a great hiking trail. You can camp right...

It seems like they should. I never heard of it before and googled it and only thing that comes up is kolsch and I am not looking for this to be a kolsch even though I am using kolsch yeast. I want this to be an English (IPAesque) inspired pale German Ale, using german yeast, hops and grains...

I brewed and bottled a pumpkin hmmmm

for a camping trip that I am doing the weekend before Halloween. The beer must be bottled and ready to drink by then. The campsite is in an old ghost town that was a sawmill town in the early 1900s and vanished around the great depression. All that is left are a few foundations, old rail beds...

Brewed an English Pale Ale outside in the pouring rain and wind last night. Got it all done and yeast pitched just in time for the power to go out. It's still out, but the EPA is fermenting away down in the basement. No telling when we will have electricity again. 15,000 people in the York, PA...
