He hasn't responded to my messages but I know he has seen them. He had a family issue so I don't expect him to post on here for a bit


One week down, no word. You ever go pick up the box? At least it's warming up a bit now...

He was my homebrew swap partner. He said awhile ago there was some family stuff going on and he'd be delayed. I said it was no problem, but I haven't heard from him since.
 
I think that it did work out OK though I have not heard anything from him either. Didn't get a chance to make it to his house but the temps here have been above freezing except for the first week it sat in his porch.
 
Kinda been slow in here lately (at least slower then it should be :D). I still have plenty of worthy BIF recipients if anyone wants to get in on the action! PM me for details :mug:
 
Mark we are already all apart of the best league out there! The League of extraordinary gentlemen (and women), who brew and drink fantastic beer. Its kinda long and not catchy, buy it works :D

Hope you enjoy Jeremy! And yes, props to finsfan...I'll say it again...this is a great group of people and I really enjoy being a part of things. I don't post a whole lot...but boy oh boy have I read and read a lot...and learned a lot!
p.s. Had to send the packer coolie...because you know...inside everybody is a Packer fan trying to get out! Go Pack Go!
 
I will be getting back in on this in a few weeks. Wrapping up a bunch of trades and then should be able to send something out. I'll post when I'm looking for a recipient.
 
I will be boxing my next one up tonight an shipping out Monday. I really enjoying this activity ...

So, yesterday I got a message from Finsfan telling me to be on porch patrol. I was a bit confused because I have no pending trades or swaps besides the sour swap. Well I was shocked and stoked to see a BIF package. Thanks to whoever submitted my name to the BIF. That was awesome of you to do so. A big thank you to Steve (kcmobrewer) for sharing some of his hometown Missouri brews and brews from where he now lives in Maryland. Along with the amazing sounding homebrews.

Solid. Now how about telling us (me) about the PB milk stout? :D I haven't tried any Sweet Baby Jesus yet but I have some on hand. How does it compare to that?
 
I may be a little biased but I like the Choc PB milk stout better honestly. I'm not a huge fan or porters to begin with, just a little too much dry bitterness from the malt for me. However, I do love SBJ.

The milk stout tastes more like a PB cup or a buckeye to me, I like it sweeter with the chocolate PB. Makes for a very tasty desert beer! :)

I think the FG of that one usually comes out to 1.028 or so, so it's pretty sweet. Plus it has PB2, cocoa powder, and cocoa nibs in the secondary. All in all, very delicious in my opinion.
 
I have another amazing members address who really deserves a BIF after what he did today. PM me if youd like to get in on this! :mug:
 
Package is heading out west, should arrive by weeks end


Should be there Thursday, and getting another one ready to go farther west........

Yeah I can share it, I dont mind. The recipe is still a work in progress, but it has turned out well for me a few times. Beersmith predicts the FG of .016 but it always has ended up higher for me, so I just don't trust the software.

During the secondary I add everything at the same time, usually swirl it every few days to get everything in contact with the ingredients. Tastes good at 1 month, tastes great at like 3-4. After around 8 I notice the PB flavor starts fading.
