Hey flatfour64, how'd this one turn out? I'm going to brew an Imperial Red this weekend and I'm looking for a solid recipe. Let me know! Thanks! :mug:

Yes! Love 'em! :mug:

Honestly, I can't get enough of this beer right now! So tasty and well-balanced! Gives me plenty of hops to satisfy that part of my craving, and also a nice sweet malt character. Highly palatable! Yeah, I could drink Lagunitas Imperial Red for the rest of my life. :)

Yeah, I am strongly considering joining the Beerocrats. I talked to a lot of the guys from the club at the Battle of the Brews and they were all amazingly nice with the exception of one or two gents who shall remain unnamed. I want to learn as much as possible and step up my game, especially...

Thanks! Just grabbed it! :)

Oh, yeah, I'm not a member of the Sonoma Beerocrats either, though I'm thinking about joining since I live in Santa Rosa and all of those guys have been super cool. I'm sure Gabe would be willing to e-mail you a copy of your results. I just brewed a Honey Wheat with some fresh oranges zest...

Hey thanks watergod! It was a great time, sorry you missed it! If you placed 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in any category of the contest you should have received an e-mail from Gabe (Sonoma Beerocrats/ Beverage People). If you didn't receive anything you can probably contact Gabe, or go down to the store...

Thanks! It was my first homebrew competition, and I honestly wasn't expecting anything at all. I just wanted to get some feedback from the BJCP certified judges! It was certainly an honor to be recognized like that and I really appreciate the opportunity and all of the great feedback I...

I did! It was awesome! My beer, Ryder's Rye IPA, not only won 1st place in the specialty category, but took home the Best of Show award too! :D

Hey HbgBill! Actually I have heard of the Sonoma Beerocrats, and I have been really wanting to join, however my school schedule has been so crazy I'm not quite sure I could commit much time to it. Are you a member? Thanks for the welcome! I saw in your profile that you've been home brewing...

Oh hey, nice to meet ya Noodle. Calistoga is super close! Definitely nice to see some brew brothers in the area. I'll let ya know how the rye comes out. :)

Hey Buckshot! I'm up in the North Bay (Santa Rosa) area. Used to commute down to Emeryville every day for school, so I'm pretty familiar with the area. Sounds like a cool project you've got going there! Brewing all the styles this year, that's pretty awesome! I'm just starting with all...

Hello everyone, my name is David and I'm from "the wine country" in California. But don't let that fool you, I'm waaaaayyyy more into beer than wine, and there is actually a lot of great beer out here despite being overshadowed by the wine industry. I'm 25, and I've been home brewing for...
