And a lot of over pours! Had some really good beers.

Looking forward to see what 3 Floyd's, Ten Ninety and 5 Rabbit have. Can't wait for the brewery's I have never tried before.

Sweet!

I'll have to add the fest to my things to do if I can list. I got gifted a couple VIP tickets to this one, no way my wife would say no to free!

Naperville (Illinois) Ale Fest. First year.

I'm going to an Ale Fest on Saturday, a lot of brewers, but I want to try some beers I have not had before...so here is a list of the ones that will be there and I have not tried there brews yet, can you provide thumbs up or down if you have tried them? (I am limited to 15 beers....) Arcadia...

Exactly. Works well.

Because I like to harvest the yeast from the primary without all the hops from the dry hopping.

Love my local homebrew shop. Helpful, friendly, ton's of supplies on hand, competitive pricing (unless you're buying in bulk). Even has various craft beers on tap for tasting. Think he is planning to start providing his own beer on tap for tasting too. Chicago Brew Werks in Plainfield.

I switched over from a single to a double tap config on my kegerator recently and in order to do this, I purchased a C02 distributer (with check-valve). I set my lines up correctly, and the beer in my keg carbed up nicely. When I went to pour, it poured slow, which I am OK with. But, when I...

We did buy it up, and my wife played beer fairy and dropped cases off at friends houses.

Here is what I found, I had the same problem (though not BIAB). I had been taking pellets, and putting them in cheesecloth to contain the debris. What I ended up doing was making the pouch I created too tight, not leaving a lot of room for the the hops to move around etc. Once I moved to 5...

Totally not a troll thread. Maybe a mistake, but I gather it happened all day. Pretty sure it's not old, it may be not great, but it moves off the shelf!

Yes. You read that correctly. I don't even like bud light that much. Wife got it at target where for $.67 per case. Yep, $.03 per beer. Can't turn down a free beer.

Now that is interesting. I don't think I've heard of MO getting bitter.

Habanero IPA turned out real good. Kept the bitterness on the low end because it would have been overwhelming with the back end heat. Used centennial hops. Brewing it tonight actually, going to try Maris otter instead of 2-row.
