Agreed. Everyone starts somewhere; my temp control is a sink, two frozen 2 liters and a swamp cooling tub. Primitive? Yes. Effective? Yes. Very little upfront cost. Admittedly, the batches cooled are small ~4 gallons. But it works.

4th time is the charm. Not a perfect Irish red, but the Near Dark is close enough.

I recently acquired a Brewcraft USA Rogue Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout extract kit on Marketplace - 3 lbs Briess Brewers Gold DME, 2 lbs dark DME, 1 lb Belgian Candi sugar, 3.5 lbs steeping grains, 4 oz Cascade, Mangrove Jack WC M44 ale yeast. I am unfamiliar with the stout this recipe was cloned...

I don't classify myself as interesting, but I may buy a bag and learn to roast

I'll take a bad day in Kauai over almost any day in South Jersey. One of those mimosas wouldn't hurt either.

I hope for your sake that that's NaPali in the background.

If available, would you consider shipping one or both of those big mouth bubblers?

HB buckwheat porter. If my Bears can't go to the big game, here's hoping my son's team can - fly Eagles fly!

E2 please. Thanks Bobby M. Hoping to get up your way soon for supplies.

Saved a stout extract kit from extinction; will be brewing it, with some modifications in a few weeks. Did a bottle inventory, and the bottles that the Irish stout'll be packaged in will probably see the end of their long service. Dismantled and cleaned my bottling buckets; one is going to the...

Where'd you get the recipe for it?

Ok. DM me address, I'll mail you what I have; unlikely to use it.

Interested in T158 or Belle Saison. Will trade for S05.

Received my first-ever bulk (1 lb) hop purchase from Michigan Hop Alliance; hope that First Gold is as good as I've heard.

Near Dark is bottled; hopefully my Irish red curse of the past four years is broken. Took apart bottling bucket afterward, deep cleaned spigot, soft-scrubbed bubbler. Leftover in the Weyerbacher glass that I didn't have a bottle prepped for tasted pretty damn good

Interesting thread; hope to some-Sunday have content worthy of posting. For now, killing 30 minutes at a brewery near my son's sleepover with their new Caddie Corner red before picking him up

Enjoying a River Toms nitro ESB at south-central NJ Toms River Brewing. In my limited experience, an excellent example of the style; wish I'd taken a picture, even my 13-yr old son said it's the most perfect beer he's ever seen.

As per usual, beer looks stellar. Those pretzels are a disappointing sidekick.

Honesty is always the best policy.
