I think having a website would help a ton! I order once or twice a month from my lhbs, but they have a great website. I go on the site, shop for my list, and look at there sale items, i usually end up getting more than i was planning on. Allso I would advise putting together your own kits for...
Glad to see ya sprouting, I plan on planting some next weekend. Hopefully this summer will be better than the last. Is this your 2nd year growing them? Anything i need to know about growing hops in MI?
Sigafoos, see if you can find that guys email address....because everywhere else I find it will cost well over 100 bucks for 12 glasses, way to much for me.
Michigan is real tough to score...Plus I check it 20 times per day.....so far I've scored, 200 grolsch bottles, a non working kegarator for 50 bucks, came with a 20lb tank, all my carboys came from CL for anywhere from 15-20 bucks each. I've missed a ton though, I'm sure you'll get something...

I ran into a something like this last year also. I bought 200 older brown grolsch from a guy who dad pasted away last year. He was cleaning out his basement, and he wanted the room. I did have to pay just under .75 a bottle, but i was still happy. The cool thing was the guy brewed in the...
I agree with Yopper, I have done a ton of Ipa's lately, I use them to bitter, and then combo them with cent, and cascade. If you dry hop with them and cas, they seem to come across with a citrus taste, which I love....great hop in my mind
That's great you found a good place to order from. Most of us in the States have no idea what you paid for everything, or how much you recieved. What does 1 pound = in US dollars? Also grams vs oz? I could look it up, but I'm sure some on this board knows the anwser in there head.
I would add some extra extract at bottling time, otherwise the vanilla flavor will be over powered. I brought some some good stuff from mexico, make sure you find a quality brand. If you keep it the way it is, I think you will be hard pressed to detect the vanilla at all. It really depends on...
Brewed a good looking Black Ipa last night, and I had saved about 1 cup of yeast slurry from the primary of a ipa I did 3 weeks ago. I put the yeast in a food saver bag, and threw it in the fridge for a week til I was ready for this brew day. Well I'm sure your like, whats the big deal? The...
sounds like your doing cherries in the snow recipe, I have one sitting in the sencondary right now. I used 10lbs of tart cherries like the recipe said at the flame out. I took my temp down to about 175. The recipe says to try and filter out the hops before you put t into the primary, which is...
Just picked these up from a guy, story is that he was in the beer of the month club awhile back and he keep one of each beer he received. There are alot of pale ales and lagers, if they all suck I will just reuse the bottles. Hope to hit a couple tastey ones....I'll let you guys know if anyone...
