I stand corrected. Great advice!

Personally, I wouldn't uncap the beers and let them sit. They will oxidize and taste like wet cardboard. Plus it doesn't address the underlying issue! What's going on with the beers? Did you bottle before fermentation was complete? Did you add too much priming sugar? Have you tasted it from...

Sorry, I didn't mean to thread-jack, I thought you might have gotten rid of yours. When I replied to JohnGonk, he made it sound like Black Ops was a little more widely available, rather than a brewery only release. I like to reserve the Darkness that I have for more hard to obtain beers...

Brewbien is up! PMing my address now. :)

I believe this to be true also. I would say that spring water is acceptable in both instances, though you're most likely correct that OP is probably making an extract batch, in which case distilled water isn't a bad choice either, since extract tends to have the minerals from the wort...

Confirmation complete. I have a bottle of the Framboise on hold at a local store and am picking it up after work! :rockin: My wish list should be pretty simple. I would just like some highly regarded beers from a brewery that we don't have access to up here in the Northland (Minnesota)...

Let me call a couple local stores to make sure I can fulfill Indy's list and then I'll post mine. I don't want to get the cart before the horse here! :)

Right on. :)

So, for my 100th post, I'd like to officially offer up an eMAW for IndyTruks. Turns out I have 2 of the New Belgium Berliner's at home, and if I could find a bottle of the Schell's Framboise du Nord, would the 2 12oz New Glarus and a 750ml of the Schell's satisfy your wish?

I'd be willing to give it a shot. Interested in any Surly stuff? Furious, Bender, Coffee Bender, Cynic etc.?

No, we're having a heat wave this weekend! It's supposed to get up into the high 20's and low 30's! Time to break out the shorts and flip flops! :ban:

Also signed up. Same username as here. Should be interesting.

You got that right!

Dude, that's amazing! I'm so jealous! If I only had the self control to put so many good beers away for a long period of time. I can exercise self control, but man, it's tough sometimes when you only get one bottle of something that's supposed to be truly awesome...

You're not too far off with that theory... :D

Well, then. Your dad is a good man, like Barry Bonds was a good baseball player. There's always gonna be an asterisk.

I'd just go with 100% of the poland spring to start. Mixing city water (which most likely has chlorine and/or chloramine like I mentioned above) could potentially contribute off flavors to your beer if not treated properly. Only reason I keep saying all bottled spring water for your first batch...

Your dad is a smart man. I would have to agree. That and this beer I had once called Brewer's Cave Golden Caramel Lager. I would rather be punched in the face than ever drink that beer again.

Ah, I could probably do a $4$ on a 4 pack of the regular also. All of the single bottles above (outside of the Black Butte) should be in line for a 1 bottle to a 4-pack of BCBS kind of trade. If you could get 1 or 2 of the coffee, that would be amazing. That's actually what I'm looking for.

Free beer. :D
