Let me report back to you all. It was a great evening. Nice weather, and really well laid out I thought. Most of the breweries brought two or three beers with them. One that stood out in my mind was Allagash Grand Cru. I did not catch all of what the lady had told me about it (I had drank a...

How about Boston? There is a beer festival being hosted by Beer Advocate in the end of October. I am trying to find a way to make it to that one.

Can't wait. This event is tonight. Anyone else here planning on attending?

I can't seem to find it on their website, but I just got the Midwest (http://www.midwestsupplies.com) catalog today. i was flipping through earlier and they have a Budweiser kit if you are interested.

bummer, good thing your bro had someone who knew what he was doing! I am real glad I bought my first kit from Midwest Supplies. They had great instructions for me and my buddy accompanied with a video. All around I had a pleasant experience with them. If I didn't love going to wander around...

Wow. that is a good article, may have me rethinking some of my ideas. I have never started a yeast like that in the manner described in the article. This is going to be a fun project!

GAH! and with no homebrew to fall back on...... nah, forget it. I am never going to Utah.

Great explanation. I had heard this before -- about bottle colors -- but never knew why or if it were true. Thanks LandSailor

That's why I would never move to Utah.... (although, multiple wives..... hmmmm)

As the week winds down, I am thinking of beginning my next batch of beer. I was thinking of making a real strong English ale. I have been browsing around, and have settled upon the grains I am going to use. 3 lb 2-row 1 lb Munich 1 lb 60L 1 lb Cara-pils 1 lb Wheat lots o' extract...

I suggest several stoppers ;) Read this: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1737

Thanks Knife. That was a nice post there. It's always so refreshing to hear such joyous words like that. You are right, I do savor my beer. Glad to know you own the world. I know I think I do.

I agree. That is what I have done for all of my dark beers. (Maybe one of these days when I get the money to buy some more equip I will venture out into the world of AG).

I must say, I am only 22 and have not yet reached the day where a child of mine has been born. But, the day I open a bottle from a new batch is a day full of pride and opportunity. The anticipation is wild... Uncapping the bottle and wiating to hear the little hiss of air rush out from...

Have not gotten a chance to really look too deeply into it, but it looks great at first site. I like the images. Well done.

My last brew turned out to be somewhere areound 7%!! I am a pretty novice brewer myself, and I was expecting to be around 5-5.5%, and somehow my alcohol content jumped in the fermentor. Ah well, my buddies and I enjoyed it.

I did the same with a raspberry porter. Racked the beer over the raspberry puree in the secondary. Used almost the entire can which i believe was roughly the same size as LME. (I saved some of the puree for making dinner that night. Raspberry Lemon Pepper-Crusted Chicken, wow did that turn...

I like Broken Antler Lager. Or make a rip off label of Rogue and call the beer Dead Moose Lager.

Certainly you can. But, be warned before you use fresh fruit. Did you read the post about brewing with fruit that I linked earlier? I woulf follow Sudster's instructions (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showpost.php?p=11191&postcount=8). The reason I used the puree is because it is already...
