    DIY Bottle Crates?

    I'm not much of a woodworker, but I'd be cool with kicking some money your way in order to get about 6 cases... Local so we could work something out, please PM me. Also, I could be a helper or the guy that picks up supplies at the store, etc.

    Simple Poll - How Important is a Hydrometer to Your Brewing?

    You know, I like using the hydrometer but I lazied out on my last 2 brews and basically just topped up with water to get my correct final volume (yes, extract w/grain brews). I still used it to check FG on those two batches, though. With a known extract recipe, I don't feel like I was a "bad...

    Rye - the liquor, the grain, the ingredient

    I just have to try this recipe! If you've completed it, please post up your results/tasting/critique, too!

    Bought the kit, but no time to brew before some upcoming travel -probably around Thanksgiving before I get to brew it...

    Get together for Boston area brewers?

    Ditto here, I get back from a trip the night before and after 12 days away from the family I don't think they'll appreciate me tucking out for a full Saturday (also have evening plans already). Great to see some eastern-Mass collaboration happening though! Hope it goes great for all!

    toll booth rant

    Hey, everyone that uses EZ-Pass, Fast-Lane, etc. Watch out for "orphan exit" and/or "orphan entrance" type charges! See this article for details: http://redtape.msnbc.com/2007/07/millions-of-dri.html Another interesting angle, I was just reading one of the editorial articles in Car & Driver...

    Which Brewing software do you use???

    I thought someone said that one of these softwares easily does conversions back and forth between extract and AG, whereas others require the user to play with the numbers to get the conversion to come out "equivalent". Can someone clarify which softwared does the conversions. Also, do they all...

    toll booth rant

    I was leaving Logan airport heading back home after picking up my visiting brother Friday night, and even though it was 11:30 at night it was the worst traffic I'd seen coming out to the Sumner tunnel tolls in a long long time. Sure as sh!t I get up there, and there's a yahoo in each of 2...

    Good Deal Near Boston???

    I saw that. I don't like it when price seems a touch high for what's there and they say "firm". When I sell stuff on CL it sells in about 3 hours. Price it right, that's the point, move your stuff out of your way and hook up someone that was quick to pull the trigger, none of that dickering...

    Syracuse Brew-pub Scene?

    Ditto on Glibiddy about Blue Tusk and Dinosaur. Go to Dinosaur for the barbeque, it's very good, then work your way over to Blue Tusk, it's an easy walk.

    Prohibition Returns!

    Agreed, very good article. We need to be speaking out to our representatives to keep this from snowballing any worse.

    Get together for Boston area brewers?

    Also, the British Beer Company on rte 1 in Walpole is a pretty awesome place, too. I haven't been out to the Horseshoe Pub.

    If that brew day can be some time (weekend) after 19 Nov good chance I can get there!

    Yup, this link here is very handy for figuring out your carbing pressures for various styles of beer and for determining your draft line lengths, and even has some troubleshooting tips: http://hbd.org/clubs/franklin/public_html/docs/balance.html

    Update International Stock Pots

    I think I remember a post in this forum by someone who had a bad experience with Instawares (the vendor in OP's link). Just an FYI. If others have had good luck w/them please post, their prices seem great.

    Clipper City

    I think the Loose Cannon is an awesome beer - great flavor, balanced with some sweetness, tons of hop flavor, and a really nice hop aroma. Anyone have any details? This one would be great to clone!

    Stick-on Thermometers

    Do you read the middle of the three numbers that are off-colored, or do you read a specific color number like blue or green or purple?

    SARASOTA FL trip 4-7 November, need advice

    Any great places for beer? We seem to go to the same couple of places in downtown Sarasota every year, nothing special (Gator club, etc), but it'd be great to get some pointers from a local. I'll be down there this Sunday and leave Wednesday afternoon. Also, is the Cheetah club still...
