Brewers edge is a nice store. Everytime I've been there its been the same guy working there. He seems knowledgeable(its hard for me to tell though as my level of brewing is what you would call "basic"), very helpful, and seems like he truly enjoys talking beer and beer making. They have an...

Never heard of that one. I'm going to check it out today. Thanks for the link, I would've never even known they are there. I've been going to Brewers Edge in Holland. I hate that they aren't open sunday as thats usually my "lazy" day which makes for a perfect brew day (and planning ahead...

hey man, welcome. I,too, am a west michigander. Dorr, actually. I don't post much because the info on here is enough to answer any question I have. I'm assuming your LHBS is Siciliano's? I like it that you can get everything for a brew day there, as well as a very unique build your own 6pack...

I just flew from LA to Detroit 2 days ago. We flew Spirit and they have a 40lb. limit. Our only checked bag was 7lbs. over on the flight down so we had to pay an additional $25. I had 7 22oz bottles to bring home so I got a cardboard box, roll of packing tape, and wrapped my bottles in the...

Yes, Pliny the Elder. I had it in a flight I got at stone. I've got to say that it was very good, but I think the Alesmith IPA is better. I was corrected, it was the "Yard House" not the shipyard. We are Saltwater fish dorks and the people we are staying with are also. The husband is an...

Ok, so today is our second to last day in Laguna Beach and I am officially in love with the beer here!! I took the advice to try The Bruery (our hosts had never heard of it) and I was floored. i bought some to send home, but I might need to buy more as I think I might open one tonight (Loakal...

I've only done 3 BIAB's. But two out of the three I've had inconsistent temps within the kettle. My problem is that I need to make a new bag as mine is too small and the grain doesn't spread out as well as it could. I think this causes the large, rather compact, grain ball to be like...

WOW! Thats alot of suggestions. Thank you. Not sure how many I can hit. My wife supports my addiction even though she drinks strickly wine :D. We are there for 5 days. I guess if I can hit two or three of those suggestions I would be happy. I'll most likely have a rental car. Probably check...

Going to visit friends in 2 weeks in Laguna Beach. Planned on touring Stone. Any other "must visits" or "must tastes" anyone can think of in that general area? What about something I can't get in michigan but could get my hands on in Cali?

Just picked up a 5cf freezer off craigslist for $30. Its maybe 4 yrs. old tops. I don't even really care if I can fit 3 or 4 cornies (pretty sure 4 is gonna be possible) for $30 the price was right. Be patient and when things pop up on craigslist/ebay jump on them, don't wait. Now begins the...
