We've recently discovered "sheriff of Nottingham". It's fun, quick game where you try to bluff the other players at the table. Good for up to 6 players. A lot of fun especially if everyone knows each other pretty well.

I can't speak to the 2.0 version, but I have the OG model and all I did was wash it thoroughly with soap and water. I've owned mine for 6-7 years and have never had a single issue with it. Cheers!

Lol! Yeah. Don't forget BBQ too!🤣

Pigs (Three different ways). And Animals is my vote for best album. Les Claypool covered the whole album in one of his side projects a while back. One of the best covers I've heard too.

I'm not ready to say officially that "I have quit brewing", but it's been 2 years now since I made a batch and I don't see myself brewing again in the foreseeable future. For me it has all boiled down to time and the trade offs of the time it takes to brew versus what I can do with that time in...

Greetings and salutations from a fellow NC brewer. Welcome to the community.

I second that. Atlantic brew supply is the best! Welcome to hbt.

Yeah they would definitely ship it, it's just expensive to ship 1 pack of liquid yeast. I prefer to spread the cost across a couple of batches worth of ingredients and get reduced or sometimes free shipping. I'm not going to be brewing for quite a while now, so don't want to order more...

Welcome! from another NC guy. It sounds like you are pretty well sucked into the obsession. Happy brewing!

That is a fantastic show. I took my son to see it a few years ago and it was pretty incredible! He and I are both long time fanatics. We had to slow down our collecting a while back for lack of storage space and I was starting to get concerned about the structural integrity of my house under...

Welcome to HBT and the obsession!

I live near Wilmington and the nearest good shop is Atlantic brew supply in Raleigh. They are family owned and are a great online option with friendly helpful and knowledgeable staff. They sell grains and hops by the ounce and in larger quantities and have a pretty good equipment selection as...

Extract versus all grain to me is about control and time management. You can make GREAT beer with extract. There have been many medals won at NHC with extract recipes. With extract some of the work of making the wort has been done for you so it is a little easier and takes a little less time...
