I'm in naperville, i'd definetly be up for trading some beers and sharing some recipes. I'm not at the point of creating recipes yet, but here's a list of what i have for trade:
Right now,
IBA, (a hopped up version of morebeers malty brown),
northern brewers belgian number 8,
midwests bourbon barrel strong ale
up and coming are,
morebeers scotch ale,
northern brewers dopplebock (wont be ready for a while),
morebeers columbus ipa,
Edit:
I don't know if anybody is looking to trade equipment but i have a brewers best immersion chiller, and will soon have an extra DIY immersion chiller from Bobby M's thread. I'm trying to find a 15 gallon pot with a valve and a pump.
