im down

nope.

so they are mailing them? if so that is totally cool.

Did anyone manage to get their score sheets?

yes. i too came through relatively unscathed since i live at the other end of town away from the PATH where most of the worst flooding happened. two days ago i scored a 6 gal and a 5 gal glass carboy out of the trash. covered in mud and sewage. a cup or two of bleach seems to have done the...

just noticed you are from staten island. did your brewery survive hurricane sandy?

i tried your fig beer, it was good stuff.

the guys who won live two blocks away from me. might be the start of a hoboken brew club. who knows. i did not get to try your beer. you guys were out when i came around. i thought i went home with one pitcher's worth in my keg but it turned out to only be 2 ounces. but i yielded 5.5 gals...

hey dirtybear --> what was your booth number? wondering if i tried your brew. i think i tried about 20 out of the 25. some damn fine beers were on display. standing for 4+ hours was pretty tough. its also a lot of talking. i felt like me voice was hoarse last night after it was over...

Hello fellow brewers! My brother and I both got spots for this year. My entry is an IPA based off a Sahti ( fir tip tea, fir tips, belgian farmhouse yeast, rye ) My brother has made a Roggenbier ( german rye beer, german ale yeast ) we are both kegging. we dont have any booth...

final report: this turned out delicious. sat in secondary at 82F for about 2 mos. then we made a tea with the dandelions and the bottling sugar and then filtered out the dandelions before pouring it into the bottling bucket. waited a few weeks and entered one in the preliminary...

racked today out of primary. gravity was at 1.017 nice spicy yeast thing going on. has an interesting light reddish hue... from the munich i guess. filled two 6gals and one single gallon. might start experimenting with dandelion tea and the one gallon in a few weeks so look for an update.

no really it was more of a function of me not having dialed in using the new mash tun (70 qt cooler) coupled with wanting to try a decoction. i remember reading in places that a multi-step mash is better when you have a lot of wheat and figured I'd give it a try. it took so long though. i...

brewed this yesterday. I like a wheatier saison, so i upped the wheat substantially from dwarven_stout's recipe. i am hoping the lighter brew that results isnt lacking in malt to stand up to the dandelions. Recipe Type: All Grain Yeast: WLP 568 Yeast Starter: 1500mL w/ stir plate Batch...

i like your base recipe. its close to alot of the saisons i've done. do you think the bitterness of the dandelions would make you handicap your target IBU range at all?
