So yeah with all that being said... I just really love making beer and enjoying it :D

YES! That happened to me on the first vanilla Porter I brewed. Mine was a kit from northern brewer;extract with steeping grains then added vanilla beans after primary fermentation slowed down. I think that did lead to some kind of infection. That beer tasted terrible not sure if it was the...

Hah wow we pretty much had the same response at the same time there turkeyshot!

Wow they might as well tell the tenants they are not allowed to cook dinner at home as well... I mean really it's not much different than grilling or making a pot of soup. The propane burner issue I could see as a fire hazard but that doesn't mean they can't ban someone from using the stove top...

OK I'm in and I'm ready to win this would be so perfect for my setup. Next up is the new conical!

I let one of my clusters grow on top of my roof and it burned the tip off the main bine from the heat of the shingles. I trained the rest sideways under the gutter and it's still going strong

Nice man, How many gallons did you rack into that barrel?

Is it odd that i check this thread every other night even though i have never brewed a sour/funky beer? Hell i have only liked a couple of funky beers i have tried, yet somehow i am so drawn to the Lambic / wild forum. :D

Any Colorado people seeing anything pop up yet? This past week has been so warm, i already found one of my cluster hops popping up out of the ground this morning! Ill take a pic of the little girl later today.

I just checked out your other post on the brew setups. Awesome setup you have going! looks like you do great given your location and water issues.

:mug::mug:I have used three glass carboys and a plastic bucket for over a year now and the bucket works just as well as the glass; it's easier to fill and clean. I still prefer my glass carboys though. I have been considering picking up a few Speidel plastic fermenters...

I also got my Nordic blend today! What do you all plan to pitch your Nordic into? :mug:

Colorado Springs Colorado downtown/ old north end area I have about three cases worth of regular 12 oz bottles maybe some stubbies mixed in and a couple growlers.Mostly with labels, I will keep these around for another week before they hit the recycle.

Seriously i never understood the people trying to push USED bottles at high prices. Like John said 1 dollar a piece or better yet donate them to a newer brewer to help them get started https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=157575 This thread is dedicated to donating bottles so whatever...

Ordered the Nordic blend last week!
