I think the worst I've ever had was Lancaster Brewing Company in Harrisburg PA. I tried a bunch of their beers on tab at the brewpub, but they all had the same off-flavor, couldn't quite place what it was. Was expecting much better...they suck.

Wow, looks like I picked a winner topic. I need to stop by this place more often...

Awesome. Thanks everyone for the responses.

Cool, thanks. I was also curious about the bottled beer I would see at the liquor store. Lots of beers from southern breweries that aren't available in NJ? Any recommendations on those? I haven't been south of Philadelphia...

:) "the last one I had was crap" - I've heard that a few times. Of course they are pleasantly surprised when they try mine!

"I prefer to grow my own hydroponic marijuana" :D

I'll be heading to the Outer Banks for a week of vacation in a month or so. Can anyone make any recommendations? I imagine the selection will be somewhat different from what I normally see here in NJ.

Cool, thanks.

I'm kind of in the middle of this, so if someone could give me some quick advice I'd appreciate it...

Yup, the Edme kit is pre-hopped. I steeped at 155. I just finished steeping...the usual AHS recipe says to bring it to a boil after that, then turn off the burner, add the extract, and then bring to a boil for an hour.

I normally brew the AHS kits, but this time I got a can of Edme Wheat and some steeping grains from the local homebrew store. Do I still need to boil for an hour after adding the extract (after steeping)? I'm not adding hops, so I don't know if this makes a difference.

:D It would have been racist no matter what it was.:o

I'm not talking extremely cheap, but I can't go wrong with McSorley's Ale at less than 6 bucks a six-pack. In this economy we all have to make sacrifices! What's your recommendation?

It's a dark beer! Isn't that racist or something?

I put a little bit more just in case. Better too much than too little...:cross:

I'm gonna guess...2 cups of DME?

I'm in the midst of brewing AHS Old Speckled Hen, and the recipe calls for 9ounces of corn sugar. I have light DME I could use instead. Should I use it? How much would be equal to the 9 ounces of corn sugar? Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

Saying "absolutely" as a way to enthusiastically agree is overused.

I have a batch from last year that I haven't gotten around to dumping yet. There's no way it can be salvaged though...I overcarbed in the bottles.
