I hear everything's bigger in Texas.

The organizers supply beer line and a cobra tap. You need to supply everything else (both disconnects, gas line, and CO2) plus a way to chill your beer (most people bring coolers or tubs and they have ice there). Best way to travel with beer? I would say with a glass nearby.

Coming up on August 15th near Cincinnati, OH is Beer & Sweat - the world's largest beer competition (by volume). It is a keg only homebrew competition that typically has 225 to 250 corny keg entries from brewers all over the Midwest and one year, as far away as Florida. With kegs as entries...

Well hopefully may first round draft choice won't lose a leg 15 minutes into the season this time. Survivor and Pick 'Em coming as well?

Sorry for the hijack, but this post just scares me. For the sake of safety, you don't want to just squeeze in under the limit. Typically, you want to look at the loaded weight, then add on 15 to 20% margin so that you can get up even small hills or drive into the wind. That trailer has a...

Young's Double Chocolate works. Dubbels and Doppels are just too obvious - they are all on the list by default since it is in the style name. I am looking for the less obvious ones. So far: Bell's Two Hearted Ale Dos Equis Two Rivers Young's Double Chocolate Stout All the Double IPA...

OK folks - I need help with an assignment. Come up with as many commercial beer names that have a reference to "2" in their title. It can be two, twin, double (let's skip all the "double" varieties, like double IPA, Belgian doubles, doppelbocks, etc.). Here is a start: Bell's Two Hearted...

I don't think I can edit a thread this old, so I will just add on to it - the original link has changed addresses, so here is the file:

Thanks - appreciate it. Roadrunner messed with their web page set up and I can't access my pages anymore to update them.

Good deal. That was the first place I checked and they didn't carry it but said they would contact their distributer. EDIT: I was just there and all they have now is the Southern Hemisphere. The shelf label that holds that spot just says SN "Harvest Ale" so they must just stick which ever...

I posted something a while back that had traces from my memory of a Cranberry beer recipe I made that turned out nice. I think the flavor is pretty minimal, so I pureed to increase the contact area. Also add either in secondary (after heating pureed cranberries to 160F for a bit to kill the...

Yea, found the Southern Hemisphere there, but that's it.

I have been trying to track down an outlet in the Cincy area that carries it. I checked to usual places with no luck so far.

Heard on the radio this morning: Be careful if you get an email titled "Nude pictures of Palin" as it may contain a virus. Also be careful if you get an email titled "Nude pictures of Hillary" as it may contain nude pictures of Hillary.

Ah, I get it. I sometimes see some people using some dark Crystal instead and mashing at 155F instead for the Scotch (but still 158F for an 80/- and down).[/I]

I like this one - the maple syrup is interesting. Have you made this before? I typically don't like adding sugar/molasses/etc. in fear of thinning the beer out but this has me curious. I get the darker sweetness from using Special B or Crystal 120L in a pinch. Hops, mash schedule, ferm...

... in that something that looks like water (actually very close to Bud Light color) actually has some flavor (unfortunately, and not surprisingly, that flavor is not so good). I thought it had a taste similar to weak Blatz. I got these samples from a friend that thought I might like to...

From the looks of it, I would think it would be more of an American Amber Ale. The color would fit as would the slightly lower hop profile.

I have an Excel spreadsheet that uses a macro to create a beer color palate. You can modify the values if you like. The chart has all of the points tor the RGB coordinates graphed and it definitely doesn't follow anything normal. Beer Color Palette (NOTE: It has a macro that draws the...

Take a lap - lots to be found. I know I have had some Christian Moerlien once and I talked to the folks at Mt. Carmel (local - very small - right out by my house) and they said they will have a few kiosks where they will sell their stuff (their stout is very thin, but their brown is pretty good).
