If I ever opened a brew pub it would be named something along the line of "Nick's Fine Eatery and Drinkery" Obviously subbing the Nick part, but going along with the theme thus far.

I'm in

Sweet count me in

Oooh shinies, count me in.

Any chance you can post pics of your 2bbl system?

I've been checking every few hours this week for everything to go up and even still I missed the Citra this morning :( Oh well, was still able to get some galaxy though :D

I agree completely with this statement. If you want a hoppy beer, don't discount hop bursting! My current house pale uses Galaxy and Citra all added at 15m and 5m left in the boil and it is absolutely fantastic, rave reviews all around.

I make a Citra/Galaxy pale ale that is quite tasty. The two pair to give a very interesting tropical fruit character.

I wouldn't really call waiting 3 days to ship a bad experience, maybe undesired but wouldn't be enough for me to stop ordering from a vendor. If they got a rush of orders it could have put them a day or two behind. I've run into the same situations with several of the online vendors at one...

The temperature you can achieve in a single pas depends a lot on the temp of the water you are pushing through it. That being said I have the 50 plate model and haven't had a problem getting into the 70's on a single pass. In the summer (when ground water temp is warmer) I just close the...

To add my two cents: I had a similar experience with KegCowboy.com Ordered a Pump and a plate chiller. Everything showed "InStock" on the site so I figured I should get a tracking number or a shipping confirmation within a week. No dice. Took almost 2 weeks (with me following up via email...

I missed the other group buys, so I'm glad you set up another. I'm in for 200lb Thanks again Dahoov :ban:

I've only dumped 2 batches to date thankfully #1 Way too much crystal. I added 3lbs of crystal to an attempt at an Irish red. Came out too cloying and tasted like drinking a toffee bar. A few people claimed to like it, but I think they were just being nice ;) #2 Had a digital...

My wife has brewed a few of the "island mist" wine kits that remind me more of wine coolers than wine. Very fruity and relatively low ABV. I've suggested we start carbonating and serving it from a keg in the future. I would look that route if your looking for something very wine-coolerish.
