Anyone ever been? How good is this store? Is it good in the sense of great for northern nh or all around a place you need to stop. I live in Boston, but will be in "near" Woodstock so I am trying to figure out if it is worth stopping. Generally I would just stop, but it is about 1/2 hour out...

Sorry about that I am a few days behind reading the forum.

I've been souring a couple of gallons of some of my batches using the dregs of commercial beer. Usually I will sour 1G with nothing added and then another with fruit added. To date I only have used brett. I've got a bottle of La Roija and i just realized that this contains Roeselare and not...

I'm driving down to Hilton Head from Boston taking 95 up until I make a NC and hop on 795/40 mid-state Anyone have any recommendations for good stores along the 95 stretch? I think I will hit up the Foodery in Philly on the way back and Growlers once I get to Hilton Head. Any good suggestions...

Farmhouse brewing sells 3lbs of DME for $8.99. It is the cheapest that I know of....

I used JP dregs in my secondary (to infect w/ Brett) and I didn't see anything for a long time. I think it look about a month before I saw anything....

Cherries were whole. I just opened a can of Oregon Tart Cherries and dumped them in. It looks like something is going on there under the cherries. Plain Bam Noire batch looks like nothing is going on which sounds like that isn't unusual. I just wanted to ask to make sure I hadn't failed at...

Question on use of dregs..... If I add dregs to my secondary should I see anything happen? I did 2 1G batches. One with cherries and JP Oro de Cabeza Noel dregs and then one with just JP Bam Noire dregs. It doesn't seem like anything is happening with the Bam Noire dregs so I am wondering if...

It looks like a 1G batch of Strong ale that I infected to sour with Brett....

Thanks for all the responses... Pinback - ABV is 10.27%, IBUs is 102. I agree finding a 3 yr old beer is cool. It is interesting to see how things change. I haven't had Maharaja fresh, but I've drank a lot of other other hoppy IPA/DIPAs this weekend so it is interesting to compare vs those...

Was buying beer for Easter and I noticed the store I was at had Avery Maharaja. I was vaguely familiar with this brew from here so I decided to grab a bottle. As I was signing my credit card receipt, I noticed the bottle said it was from the 2009 batch. Correct me if i am wrong but this is...

One persons view of making like harder is another persons view of a challenge. ;) Really just comes down to costs and frequency of brewing. I decided I want to brew more, but to do that I am mixing in a few smaller batches e.g. 1G & 3Gs. On the 1G if you buy yeast it is 5x times as expensive...

Was kicking around a Pliny brew plan for a small batch as I am not sure I want a full 5G. Any recommendations for commercial test to harvest for Pliny? Also if one wanted to first use said yeast for another beer and then rack the Pliny wort onto the yeast cake what would be a good suggestion...

Just curious approximately what size boil do you start with? I like the ideea of using 1G batches to mess around with things.

Yeah, I was looking at that but I though the cost of torch and solder was more than the cost of compression joints. Also, it seems like odds of me messing up are lower...

Hi looking to build a DIY wort chiller. I am a little bit nervous about bending pipe as a quick way to save money could turn into a waste of money if you mess up..... I was curious whether anyone had ever used brass compression fittings in lieu of bending pipe. I figure I could get 50ft of...

Thanks for all the input. I was able to find a few more sours at Whole Foods in Dedham (including a jolly punpkin). I will modify my plan accordingly aka co-pitch with dregs that actually have some bugs. Thanks for all your help.

Sorry in advance if my questions are a bit basic, but I am noob brewer and looking to brew my first few sours as well. I like the idea of brewing an extra gallon and fermenting as a sour using dregs so my plan for my next two brews are: 1. Brew 4G of Pranqster clone from Clone brews (Golden...

Bukowski's is my fave but it is a 10 minute walk. Great selection though. Eastern Standard (in Kenmore) looks to have a good selection but is expensive. The Other Side Cafe looks good too but also a bit of a walk and not as good a selection as Bukowski's
