Brewed a Super Galena German Lager today. Packed some hops to bring to Grand Junction. Any recommendations on breweries to visit?
All the breweries are pretty much in the same neighborhood. Check out Funkwerks, Odells, and then Equinox.
If you want to check out more, put New Belgium after Equinox and Ft. Collins Brewery 1st. That's just for convenience's sake.

I don't bother to name them yet. I'm still working out all the recipes and most of mine come from other sources with hop adj. (trying to get rid of the 4lb of American hops I have). I really don't feel I have ownership over the naming rights so it usually stays the same.
I brew in a garage in colorado with propane so the door is always open. I try to wear long quick drying pants, flannel shirt, chacos or skate shoes depending on the temp. I'm all for safety from glass and fire, but I use mainly better carboys and kegs to avoid shards of glass.
I thought the beer wasn't fermenting and it was. I didn't take any gravity readings, lesson learned there. I originally re-pitched on top of an old yeast cake. I didn't see vigorous or really any fermentation so I thought it didn't work. I made a starter of the same strain of yeast 24 hrs ago...
