Nah, the laser can be set to barely take off the coating on the top of the cap. I've had entire batches of bottles with engraved caps and never had a problem.

Let's try this again. Some of the more senior members may recall a couple years ago or so when I posted a thread about laser-engraved bottle caps that were available through the company for which I was working at the time. I posted this thread on it. Shortly after, I was accepted to a...

The Selinsgrove Brew Pub, yes.

Hola! I'm in South Jersey as well. I grew up in a very green part of PA, so it took some (read: a lot of) getting used to, but I'm slowly coming around.

I have only ever tried a handful of pumpkin ales, and they usually suffer from some kind of imbalance that I can't quite place my finger on. Dogfish Head really nailed it, though. That stuff is amazing. I've only ever had one pumpkin ale that beats it, and that was at my local brew pub when I...

Nah, I do it in an air-tight room in my basement. :mug: Thanks for the responses, all.

Oooh, it looks promising. Thanks!

Wow, I'll have to look for this one.

I consolidated as well. It's definitely the way to go: you get a lower rate over a longer period, but you still have the option to pay more every month if you want to.

WTF? I'm in an absolutely identical position. I'm moving abroad in August and need to take it easy on the brewing. At least I can still buy beer. :)

I had a professor who went on sabbatical working for Guinness in Dublin. His job was pretty much identical to these guys: he was studying the properties of foam. At least the testing would be fun. :)
