Am I excused if I resuscitate this buried thread? I'm merely cuirious... :P Has a new logo been chosen? Supposedly a new one would be announced on the web site mid-April, and it would make it's debut at the "Worts' 25th Anniversary Celebration"; which according to the calendar on the website...

I guess I'll be the dissenting opinion here and say: I love it as it is, and think you should only tweak it, not completely redo it. I would not replace the guy, and I would not make him angry. I'd probably make the eye a bit larger, but not enormous. What I would do is up the brightness...

I think that with the rest of the logo being monochrome the reflection being grayscale looks a bit strange, so I'd ditch the gradient. I agree with KingBrianI that some ripples may look good though! E.g. something like this: (this was put together as an example rather hastily, so the...

The web page states a winner will be announced mid April, but I too am hoping we'll hear something sooner. :)

This: No exciting story behind it (ordered them online), just pretty much everything I want in a beer glass. I use it for pretty much all beer styles, except weizen, for which I use this:

I submitted two entries, but only got one confirmation e-mail. Guessing it was intended for both even though it said "your entry" (singular) - I suspect the wording was a standardized response. Was fun working on this, learned a lot (better know my way around Inkscape now) doing it. :)

This sounds interesting. Is the contest open to participants outside the US?

Thanks! :) I crunched some numbers based on the first link there, and I just ended up even more confused. :confused: Using their recommendation of "0.75 million cells of viable yeast, for every milliliter of wort, for every degree Plato", and doing the math "backwards"; starting with the ~100...

I'm likely going to do my first brew (all grain) sometime soon, and because of equipment constraints (size of pots, and volume of water my electric stove can boil) I'll be doing a slightly smaller batch; roughly 3.5 gallons. I plan to use Wyeast Activator yeast (#1762 Belgian Abbey II). I'm...

Nothing available locally (small town, I don't think there's any real chance of finding local homebrew stores outside of the 3 biggest cities; Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö) but there's a pretty well-stocked online store based out of Stockholm (humle.se - anything they don't have I can at...

Thanks Revvy and DeathBrewer! :) Been absorbing information around here for a long time (ever tweaking the recipe for my first brew). I'll hopefully be posting actual brew-related stuff in the not-so-distant future; as soon as I've a) finished a few University exams and b) located someone...
