    12 Beers of Christmas 2017

    I'm fine with doing this first-come first-serve since we're really on a limited timeline to get this one done right now...we can leave it open for discussion through today but if no one has any objections, that would be great. One thing to confirm since there's no location in your profile, you...

    12 Beers of Christmas 2017

    Ouch, sounds rough...but This. Best of luck with everything. Or @HawleyFarms So....we are down two beers right now. It's probably not reasonable to get someone else to brew the lambicky ale at this point, but if someone wants to jump in to brew the honey ginger IPA (it would...

    How's your brother coming along? Do you know for sure if he's brewed yet?

    12 Beers of Christmas 2017

    Looking at shipping the week after Thanksgiving through the first week of Dec to ensure everyone gets their beers by Christmas. By my count, we have 11, I think HawleyFarms is the only dropped brewer so far. I would like final confirmation in the next two weeks, if you haven't already, that...

    12 Beers of Christmas 2017

    Kegged the gruit today. There's a lot going on in this beer...spices, heavy esters, some muskiness from the honey, and surprisingly not super dry, given the FG of 1.002. It's still slightly boozy at about 8%, hopefully that balances out with another month in the keg prior to bottling...

    New Joke thread. Let's keep it reasonable

    Three guys are walking through the woods when they find a lamp. One of them picks it up, rubs it, and out pops a Genie. It booms "You have finally freed me after all these years, so I'll grant each one of you 3 wishes." The first guy immediately blurts out "I want a billion dollars." POOF, he's...

    you still use hops in your beer?

    We will call it True Beer, as Abby Monks intended it.

    you still use hops in your beer?

    I literally LOLed at this mental image. :mug:

    you still use hops in your beer?

    Such is the appeal of True Beer! Disciples of fredthecat and Abby Monks will travel the world in search of divine libation. The rise of True Beer shall not be impeded by cynics and heathens!

    Connecticut Jock Box Rental?

    Try calling Maltose Express and see if they have one, or know of anyone who'd be willing to loan one out?

    Keg to Bottle Back to Keg?

    I did this with a wee heavy that I tried bottle conditioning in 1L flip-top bottles. Turned out the gaskets were bad and all the bottles were flat. I purged a sanitized keg with CO2, and dumped the bottles into the keg, trying to keep the mouth and neck of the bottles inside the keg to prevent...

    you still use hops in your beer?

    Praise be to Abby Monks, founder of the one True Beer(TM), savior of those once thought doomed to forever imbibe macro swill! She who is the brewer of the True, holder of the divine fungal catalyst, that which brings the magical foam. and detractor of all things luponic in in nature! Thanks...

    How much weight can a pump head hold

    I pick my pump up by the head all the time. The weight of the pump body isn't enough to break those bolts off...I have the stainless steel volute housing though so that portion might be tougher than the poly.

    How much weight can a pump head hold

    At that point you could probably hang the pump body off the plumbing instead of the other way around.

    12 Beers of Christmas 2017

    I'll leave that up to the senders...if you have beer ready to ship the week before Thanksgiving, then I don't have a problem if you want to ship it early. It looks like the surcharges might only amount to 5-10 bucks difference on the entire bill...

    12 Beers of Christmas 2017

    Another reminder...time to ship in 2 months' time (the week after Turkey Day)! I'll be kegging the gruit in the next few weeks to start force-carbing.

    12 Beers of Christmas 2017

    I racked the gruit on Sunday because I needed the bucket it was in...man that beer has a lovely herbal holiday bouquet, it filled up my whole basement. I'll probably keg it in another month or so.
