Great read. Just snatched up two bottles of this, 2012 edition. Am putting it away. Maybe for my sons high school graduation. He's 7. The place had 6 left, along with some chimay, and other good stuff.

Curious about home brewing and you popped up on my google machine

Thank you all for the quick replies! Ale Emporium may be the front runner, as it hits my other weak spots....wings. I will look these places up and let you know where we end up. HBT is the best!

I'll be in downtown Indianapolis in mid March. Any suggestions for good food and better beer? The wife loves flights and a good hefe. I like anything but a freakin souped up IPA, which is what everyone wants to serve these days. A delicious stout for dessert is always nice. Thanks in advance.

Islandlizard, by slowing the flow with the ball valve, would efficiency be increased by having to cool half the wort lets say? or at a 50% rate in other words? ideally increase efficiency enough to run through the chiller once. running it twice wouldn't be the end of the world, as i would...

Thanks for the quick reply. thought about CF's, but kinda shy'd away from it, due to the wife. She tends to freak when her kitchen isn't just so. I'm working on the brew room, but not there yet.

Hello all, rookie here. Been reading a lot and you've all helped me tremendously. With that said, I have a design question that I haven't found covered. I'm a DIY guy and can typically come up with a simple/cheap way to make things work. So here goes: Chilling the wort is the part of the...
