My cousin is their drummer. Haven't seen him in a while, so I will definitely be there.

Sabertooth Zombie is making a rare east-coast appearance this week. Anchors Up in Haverill, MA on Friday the 10th.

I think that the Vodka infusion might be the better bet. You'll probably be able to pull more peppermint flavor. If you're going to do an infusion, try to get some fresh peppermint leaves rather than the tea bags.

Sorry, bottlers! :o

Not sure how many of you are into Modern Life Is War, but they are back and recording a new album. First show at This Is Hardcore Fest this summer.

It's never a bad idea to do a starter with liquid yeast, but my personal experience has been that I have never had a stuck fermentation only pitching the vial. I've done hefeweizens and multiple batches of this recipe with no starter and using liquid yeast. But regardless, starters are simple...

Lord Hobo was my favorite place when I lived in Somerville. Miss it plenty - but the New World Tavern here in Plymouth is pretty great, too!

I'm really interested to hear about how you filter out the cocoa powder. I'd imagine running it through a paint strainer should work. Let me know how that turns out and enjoy the brew day!

In that case, brew on!

Cool idea, but those hops look a little umm... phallic?

Yes.

I can't speak to the carbonation issues you guys are having with bottling, only because I have never bottled this beer. I keg all of my beers and when I need bottles I just use my beer gun. I do wonder if the cocoa powder is suppressing the yeast or assisting in forcing too much of the yeast...

Please tell me the second one is a Tremors reference.

Nice! Does your LHBS put the hops in those bottles themselves?

I will have to do some more investigating into that window. Maybe it is a bit easier to work with than the door would be!

I did not. I actually enjoy the cocoa bitterness, but that is certainly something you could do. Maybe someone else here has made that modification to this beer?

For me it has always been more of a winter beer, but if you just eliminate the mint you would still have a very tasty chocolate stout.

Sorry, meant to address that in my last reply! One window, very small tilt-in. The bulkhead is definitely the best option I'd think, especially considering I could repurpose fans I already have.

This is all theoretical at this point so I have no problem changing fan placement. I may also just put my brew cart on casters and move it next to the open bulkhead if need be. How long does moisture build up take to become a problem? Would an hour boil (with the fan running) and half an hour...

Hey guys, I have made the decision to migrate my rig to an all-electric, single-vessel BIAB rig. Currently, I use a BIAB propane setup using a 15.5 gallon keggle and a pump-in-a-toolbox with Camlock QDs. I brew out back, just outside of my bulkhead. The main reason I want to make the...
