Brewing a 10gal. Dubbel New year's Day, if I can get my new mash tun assembled in time.

Okay, please do. Thanks. I went to the LHBS at lunchtime and they did not have the WY2487. He said they ordered it for somebody, but it hadn't arrived. So, I went with my standby WY2206. Northern Brewer is out of stock on it and Austin Homewbrew doesn't show it. Brewmaster's Whse shows it...

+1 on magic eraser and getting a turkey burner and moving outside!

Welcome! I've only done beer, no cider or wine. Cider sounds interesting, though.

So, khiddy, how did your Marzen ultimately turn out using the WY2487? I've got a Munich Dunkel and a Smoked Traditional Bock planned to brew in the next couple of weeks and had thought about using this yeast. I normally would choose WY2206 as I love the reults I get from it. But the WY2487...

Yes, they did. http://archives.chicagotribune.com/2009/oct/08/business/chi-binnys-oct8-

I can't say I blame his Dad. If I had to live with a woman that fuggly, I'd want to be sent to jail, too.

In homebrewing, I don't think you can overpitch!

I must've gotten a good one, then! Only had it once about this time last year. The Map Room is a big favorite of my wife and me. We usually hit Silver Cloud first for food, then walk to The Map Room.

I loved the stuff when I went to Alaska last August. I thought it did have an alt flavor profile to it. Not the same as Uerige sold here, obviously, but moreso than most American Alts. I've been wanting to try and duplicate it, too. I really wanted to try their Smoked Porter, but it was...

Welcome all you local yokels! Maybe a meet-up at The Bavarian Lodge in Lisle after New Year's or (if it actually opens on time), the new Limestone Brewery in Plainfield.

Right in downtown Downers Grove, don't miss Emmett's. Try their McCarthy Red if they have it on tap. Good stuff.

I said I'd post pictures, so here goes: (l.to r.) me, larvis, FermentEd, rdwj, his step-dad (Jim), Joe Dragon, srm775 Gabe does a great job guiding the tour! They have three of those large oak Foudres! The bottling line

Just read the article myself and thought, "Hey, that name and that bar looks familiar!" Congrats!

I first saw Home Alone on a flight to LA and it was so headache-inducingly awful, I had to take the headphones off and look away! Sorry. MacAuley Queeerkin cannot act.

I say it like the city in Texas. English pronunciation.

Never saw Elf. Bad Santa was a "once is good enough for me" film. Same with NLCV, mostly b/c it has the most unfunny 'comic actor' in America, Chevy Chase. Didn't like him on SNL back in the day; tolerated him in the otherwise classic Caddyshack. I'm more of a traditionalist. Top 6 'must...

Just a reminder that we're still on for tomorrow ~1pm! Hope to see you there!

Actually most any Stout or Porter would work. Oatmeal, Dry Irish or RIS. Brown or Robust Porter. Have a blow-off tube ready!

We missed most of the snow. Just like an Illinois tourist, it all headed to Wisconsin. Only ~1" at work and none further south at the house. Getting the deep freeze tonight, though. High of ~19oF tomorrow.
