+1 on the vendor... I have one bk from spike and one from highlander and really like them both.

Warwick, PA 18974: i have about 5 cases of (mostly delabeled) bottles sitting at my front door waiting for someone to PM me before they go to recycling!

nice! i highly recommend the company too -- i bought an aluminum BK from them a couple of years ago and still love it (although i have moved into a roomier SS 15gal spike kettle). i had an issue with my sightglass deforming from heat after about a year and after 1 email they sent me a few new...

If it's closer theres a surprisingly nice LHBS is the farmers market/dirt mall in Berlin...

Sorry for the delay, guys... afraziaaaa: Sorry, that's a bit far for me. abarnett: hmmm, not sure what i'd do with a 3gal yet but could definitely use a 5gal. I'm not sure what I might have for trade... what are you looking for -OR- how much would you want for both? Also -- I work in Dresher...

FINALLY doing my kit today (got it un-milled so i could take my time...). I was thinking of, after sparging the consecration wort, tossing in another few lbs of 2-row and doing a second running. Any suggestions as to style and/or recipe? I'm thinking maybe some sort of dubbel with some more...

Whoa -- getting pretty adventurous there, eh? There's something so alluring about sours... sort of brings back a little of the art and alchemy that has since been replaced by the scientific method, no? :)

I've been getting into experimenting with sour beers on-the-side over the last 6 months or so, and the experimentation+aging has led to somewhat of a shortage of secondaries in my basement. If anyone has some extra ones collecting dust, I could use a few more glass or PET (for brett) carboys...

very cool -- thanks! am looking forward to a follow-up. how long are you planning on letting the lacto and sach do their thing?

kinda -- the pic was just of a sealed box.

So... i upgraded to a spike BK a few months back and my old 50'x1/2" ribcage IC wasn't quite as efficient because it was designed for a thinner vessel. so i decided to build a new one and proceeded to buy what i thought was 50' of 3/8" plain old copper tube from ebay for pretty cheap, BUT it...

ah, nice! glad to see he does actual work somewhere (kidding). thanks for the recommend -- i did go to one golf course a couple of months ago, don't recall the name but i remember it had 36 holes and was really nice, and they had some decent beers too. i'll definitely check it out next time --...

just stumbled on this thread... i take it you know zach? i work at the same company and every time i'm out there i have a hard time finding good beer, in fact i was even told several times to go to poncho+lefty's because they had "good beer" :) i'm gonna have to make another business trip when...

Where is "around here" (sorry on phone)?havent noticed it in the Phila area...

Fantastic, thanks man! FYI -- ChurchKey put on 20 rather obscure sour beers today, sipping a Brett & I as I write this... Love this place, despite the crowd.
